zdnet.com Sabrina Ortiz 2026-02-05 02:54:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung this week introduced its newest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Fold 7. These devices feature updated specifications, resulting in a thinner, lighter, and more powerful design. You might be wondering if these updates justify an upgrade, especially if you own a previous model like the Galaxy Z Flip 6, or if you're considering a flip phone for the first time.

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin right now. It is fast, responsive, and intuitive. But nothing comes fine-tuned to your experience straight out of the box. You need to personalize your smartphone to make it more appealing.

This tool strips away anti-AI protections from digital art

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2026-02-05 10:00:00

To be clear, the researchers behind LightShed aren’t trying to steal artists’ work. They just don’t want people to get a false sense of security. “You will not be sure if companies have methods to delete these poisons but will never tell you,” says Hanna Foerster, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge and the lead author of a paper on the work. And if they do, it may be too late to fix the problem. AI models work, in part, by implicitly creating boundaries between what they perceive as d

China’s energy dominance in three charts

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2026-02-05 11:00:00

So while we all try to get our heads around what’s next for climate tech in the US and beyond, let’s look at just how dominant China is when it comes to clean energy, as documented in three charts. China is on an absolute tear installing wind and solar power. The country reached nearly 900 gigawatts of installed capacity for solar at the end of 2024, and the rapid pace of building has continued into this year. An additional 198 GW was installed between January and May, with 93 GW coming in May

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 still doesn’t fix the worst thing about Samsung’s flip phones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-05 10:00:17

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority I have a long history with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip line. Our revisit of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 was my first experience with a modern flip phone, and it instantly hooked me. I started slipping my SIM back into a Galaxy Z Flip anytime I was between review cycles, and the summer Unpacked event became my favorite of the year, Sydney Sweeney cameos and all. And yet, as much as I’ve loved the overall Galaxy Z Flip experience, I’ve always had one issue: The cover scree

I didn’t expect to care this much about a watch band system, but here we are. With the launch of its newest smartwatches, Samsung has officially streamlined its wearable portfolio, bringing its questionable squircle shape to every model. This also means that all the Galaxy Watch 8 models now feature the brand’s Dynamic Lug system.

Solar power has begun to transform the world’s energy system

news.ycombinator.com Bill Mckibben 2026-02-04 15:31:56

All this suggests that there is a chance for a deep reordering of the earth’s power systems, in every sense of the word “power,” offering a plausible check to not only the climate crisis but to autocracy. Instead of relying on scattered deposits of fossil fuel—the control of which has largely defined geopolitics for more than a century—we are moving rapidly toward a reliance on diffuse but ubiquitous sources of supply.

An ambitious vision of a city built from lava

An ambitious project from Icelandic firm s.ap arkitektar, presented at this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale (running until November 23), proposes just that.
