We Need a Clamshell iPhone Now That Android Has Figured Out Foldables

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-04 01:50:25

Foldables are far more brittle than traditional phones, and that’s a problem when you’re spending between $1,800 and $2,000 on a single device. Finally, in 2025, the flip-out, tablet-style, foldable phone may get the remodel it needed to stick it out with cheaper devices. New leaks suggest the next Google Pixel foldable will be able to better survive a mote of dust. Samsung’s next Z Fold 7 “Ultra” may have similar staying power when we finally get to see it on July 9.

I skipped every Death Stranding cutscene and I’ll do it again

I beat the original Death Stranding, but please don’t ask me what happened in it. There was a cataclysm — not quite a Gommage — that made the US more divided than ever, and you play as a babysitter-meets-delivery-guy who has special awareness of invisible, hostile creatures called BTs that are “beached,” which isn’t as relaxing as it sounds. There are grenades filled with pee, poop, and blood, and everyone who’s anyone was motion-captured to be in the game. There are whales, Guillermo del Toro (

The Download: Namibia’s hydrogen hopes, and fixing AI evaluation

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-09-04 09:10:00

Factories have used fossil fuels to process iron ore for three centuries, and the climate has paid a heavy price: According to the International Energy Agency, the steel industry today accounts for 8% of carbon dioxide emissions. But it turns out there is a less carbon-intensive alternative: using hydrogen. Unlike coal or natural gas, which release carbon dioxide as a by-product, this process releases water. And if the hydrogen itself is “green,” the climate impact of the entire process will

We are the first to knowingly reshape the living earth’s biology and chemistry. We have become the masters of our planet and integral to the destiny of life on Earth.
