Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: I compared both Androids, and here's the winner

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-12-09 18:00:20

Joseph Maldonado and Kerry Wan/ZDNET The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has finally arrived, and it isn't taking on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a generational design leap. Instead, it competes by adding quality-of-life features -- a couple of which are industry-firsts for a foldable phone. If you are ready to upgrade from a slab phone to a foldable one, now is the best time to do so. However, it can be confusing to make a decision when both Google and Samsung book-style foldables are so good this year.

It is worth it to buy the fast CPU

In the past few years, CPUs have gotten really fast. Shockingly fast! Yet most people are stuck on previous generation mobile chips (whether by choice, or by their companies choice), at a huge detriment to their productivity. Meanwhile, AI coding subscriptions like Cursor are all the rage these days. I'll skip the debate on exactly how useful these tools are, and focus on the pricing. Cursor is $480/year for the team plan (the cheapest corporate plan), and other providers are around the same, s

Dynamically patch a Python function's source code at runtime

NASA's Juno Mission Leaves Legacy of Science at Jupiter

The NASA spacecraft tasked with uncovering the secrets of Jupiter, king of the planets, is running out of time. The Juno probe has already survived far longer than anticipated—its path around the solar system’s largest planet has repeatedly flown it through a tempest of radiation that should have corroded away its instruments and electronics long ago. And yet here it is: one of the greatest planetary detectives ever built, still pirouetting around Jupiter, fully functional. But it may not be fo

SQLite (with WAL) doesn't do `fsync` on each commit under default settings

A Physicist Wants to Turn Jupiter’s Largest Moon Into a Gigantic Dark Matter Detector

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-09 20:00:14

When searching for the unknown, classic physics wisdom holds that a bigger detector boosts the chances of discovery. A physicist is taking that advice to heart, advancing a bold plan to use none other than Ganymede—Jupiter’s largest moon—as a dark matter detector on an astronomical scale. Dark matter refers to the “invisible” mass that supposedly constitutes 85% of the universe. There’s considerable evidence that dark matter exists, but it’s “dark,” meaning it doesn’t respond to light and very
