Looking at old applications, we always wonder who in their right mind thought of building them so badly. But every repository has its story and every effort has noble origins. I encountered such an application in my career, and I was lucky enough that they had used version control to preserve its history. Let me describe how the application looked in its latest state.

Why I love my little round Dell USB-C mobile adapter

Barbara Krasnoff is officially the reviews editor for The Verge, but although she has done a great deal of reviewing in her time, she doesn’t tend to do a lot of it in her current position. “I was originally hired here to write and edit to-do articles,” she explains. “Now, I spend most of my time editing, overseeing various projects, and coaxing staffers to write about their favorite stuff.” Where did you first hear about the Dell mobile adapter?

Tesla Is the Least Trusted EV in the U.S., Survey Finds

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2026-01-08 06:15:35

Tesla’s reputation is in a crash it can’t control, much like the people who are behind the wheel when the car’s self-driving features fail to stop. In the latest Electric Vehicle Intelligence Report, Tesla saw its perception erode among consumers, leading to the company scoring the lowest trust score among all major EV makers. According to the survey, just 26% of participants have a somewhat or very positive view of Tesla—significantly outweighed by the 39% plurality who have a somewhat or very

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is considering switching from titanium to carbon fiber in the Galaxy Z Fold 8 due to supply chain concerns. Using carbon fiber could also enable the return of S Pen support, which isn’t as compatible with titanium. Samsung is working on thinner stylus technology but hasn’t confirmed whether the S Pen will return next year.
