I waited ages for an affordable Galaxy flip phone, but the Z Flip 7 FE isn’t it

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with Exynos horsepower, which makes for a solid enough match day-to-day. Unfortunately, the $899 price tag seriously drags things down, while Samsung's cover screen software still lags behind rivals. Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip way back in 2020, and it’s lingered around the $1,000 mark ever since. We got our first hint of more affordable flip phones when Motorola started to launch cheaper Razr entries, follo

This Android flagship is confirmed to get a Hasselblad camera kit

TL;DR OPPO has confirmed it is working with Hasselblad to develop a custom imaging kit (i.e., a camera kit) for its upcoming Find X9 series.

AirPods Pro 3 vs. AirPods Pro 2: I compared both earbuds, here's who should upgrade

Jada Jones and Nina Raemont/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Apple's AirPods Pro 3 are officially here, and they debut with upgrades like subtle design changes, improved noise cancellation, and longer battery life. The AirPods Pro 3's most significant upgrade, however, is their onboard heart rate sensor, a welcomed feature for people who like to wear AirPods while they exercise. If you have AirPods Pro 2, they're anywhere from two to three years old, depending on th

YouTube Music rolls out dual-pane Now Playing redesign on Android, iOS

After testing first got underway in November, YouTube Music is now rolling out a big Now Playing redesign on Android and iOS. The Song/Video switcher is no longer at the top of Now Playing, but Cast remains next to the three-dot overflow menu. After the song name (which can be tapped to access Related) and artist, you now get the controls row. This does not really impact one-handed usage, but it does move things further up the screen. This is followed by a new boxy scrubber that gets rid of t

Our website looks like an operating system

I have a problem with many large, technical websites. Often times, I’ll want to refer to different pages at the same time. So I’ll CMD + click “a couple times” while browsing around and before I know it, I have 12 new tabs open – all indistinguishable from each other because they share the same favicon.

MSI's new $999 gaming laptop beats the Razer Blade 14 in a few ways (with one concern)

MSI Katana 15 HX B14W ZDNET's key takeaways The MSI Katana 15 HX B14W is on sale for $999. It's an impressive midrange laptop housing the latest GPU from Nvidia.

'We will do better.' Microsoft CEO Nadella admits company has to rebuild trust with employees

Don’t just buy a Pixelsnap Charger without thinking about your USB ports

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Some new Pixel 10 owners are running into trouble with Google’s Pixelsnap Charger due to insufficient power input. When buying a charger, make sure that the device you want to power it with is capable of meeting its listed needs. Google requires 35W of input to use the Pixelsnap Charger at full 25W output. Charging phones is finally exciting again! Well, maybe “exciting” is overselling it — and not so much “again,” we guess — but charging is absolutel

Nina Raemont/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Apple unveiled Sleep Scores on the Apple Watch. The feature is available with WatchOS 26 and on the new smartwatches. There's one health tracking feature I wish Apple had announced. Last year, Gallup surveyed Americans about their sleep habits.

The Boring Company Reportedly Halts Tunneling in Las Vegas After ‘Crushing Injury’

Elon Musk’s tunneling firm, The Boring Company, has temporarily halted work at one of the company’s sites in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to a new report from Fortune.

Emergency responders received a call around 10:12 p.m. local time on Wednesday night about an “industrial/machinery incident,” according to Fortune. Employees at the worksite

This Is How Long You Can Keep Chicken in the Fridge

Investing in a meat delivery service has made it easy to have everything I need for cooking dinner delivered right to my door. But there are still times when I don't always finish -- or even cook -- everything I've ordered right away. I've found myself eating leftovers for lunch the next day. Although I knew that chicken (even cooked) didn't have a long shelf life, I didn't realize I might have been flirting with food poisoning by eating poultry that had already started to turn. Poultry is a hi

The DOJ sues Uber (again) for allegedly discriminating against people with disabilities

Randomly selecting points inside a triangle

If you have a triangle with vertices A, B, and C, how would you generate random points inside the triangle ABC? Barycentric coordinates One idea would be to use barycentric coordinates. Generate random numbers α, β, and γ from the interval [0, 1]. Normalize the points to have sum 1 by dividing each by their sum. Return αA + βB + γC. This generates points inside the triangle, but not uniformly. Accept-reject Another idea is to use an accept-reject method. Draw a rectangle around the triangl

I used a $20 AI tool to finish 24 days of coding in 12 hours - but there's a big catch

Aitor Diago/Moment/Getty Images Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways I spent $20 on Codex and saw 16x productivity. Hard usage limits cut off coding in mid-project unexpectedly. Premium tools can cost $800 monthly but give steadier results. We've talked before about OpenAI's Codex, the AI model designed specifically for programming work. While I found it to have some capabilities, the need to use it only in GitHub or as part of the command-line termin
