The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has solved the wrong problem

Ever since foldable phones first appeared, I’ve had a complicated relationship with them. I wanted to love the concept from the very beginning, and I truly tried, but I could never get past how unwieldy they were. If you’ll remember, early foldables were comically thick, essentially feeling like two regular phones stacked on top of each other. Over the years, manufacturers have been on a mission to slim them down. Now, with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, we’ve reached a significant

This Galaxy Z Fold 7 model offers a much longer warranty

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Enterprise Edition in Europe. The phone comes with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty instead of the standard two-year warranty. The device is otherwise identical to the standard Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Well, the company offers Samsung Care Plus,

Before Sebald Was Great

Books & the Arts / Before Sebald Was Great By looking at his early work, we can better understand who the German writer was beyond his persona as the melancholy intellectual and serious man of letters. W.G. Sebald, 1999. (Ulf Andersen / Getty Images) Since his death in 2001, the reputation of W.G. Sebald has become formidable, even imposing. At times, he feels like a totem: the Western world’s last Absolutely Serious Writer. The German English author of novels (or simply works of “prose” if y

A YouTuber Is Folding and Unfolding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 Times

Folding phones are no longer a fad. But they have moving parts that regular smartphones lack, and the constant folding and unfolding could eventually lead to failure. For the last few days, the host of Korean YouTube channel Tech-it has been folding and unfolding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 over and over and over, with the goal of doing 200,000 folds. The fold-a-thon is presumably meant to see how the redesigned hinge and flexible display hold up on Samsung's thinnest foldable yet. Tech-it's h

Job Seekers Disgusted When They Show Up to Job Interviews and the "Interviewer" Isn't Even Human

Employment seekers are getting frustrated when they finally lock down a much-sought-after job interview — only to realize when they log onto the meeting that the "interviewers" isn't even human. As Fortune reports, professionals are starting to push back, noping out of interviews conducted by AI and reasoning that the company culture can't be very good if actual leadership isn't willing to take the time to meet candidates face-to-face. However, the people behind the AI interviewer tech say tha

Funeral Homes Are Using ChatGPT to Churn Out Lazy Obituaries

Funeral companies and grieving families are turning to AI chatbots to cough up obituaries for the recently deceased, the Washington Post reports, in yet another example of how the tech is being used to automate even the most emotionally charged parts of the human experience. One bellwether of the AI's rise in the death care industry was last year's National Funeral Directors Association conference in Las Vegas, where it was apparently the talk of the town, according to Ryan Lynch, head of produ

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Chomps Its Way Home This Week

The best thing about Jurassic World Rebirth is it sent the franchise back to basics. Figure out a story that necessitates a few characters ending up on an island populated by deadly dinosaurs and see what happens next. It’s a formula that’s worked in the past and worked again here, to the tune of well over $750 million and counting worldwide. However, if you missed the adventure in theaters or want to experience it again, you can do so at home this week. Universal just announced that Jurassic W

Battlefield 6 anti-cheat system requires Secure Boot, shutting out Linux and legacy PCs

In a nutshell: Electronic Arts is preparing to launch the next chapter in the Battlefield saga and expects players to fully embrace the new FPS experience.

Battlefield 6 will include a powerful anti-cheat system that requires players to enable Secure Boot on their Windows PCs. Battlefield Wire confirmed the news on X, stating that EA's anti-cheat technology will run at the kernel level on

Expert Says Collapse of Human Civilization Looks Like the Most Likely Scenario

New research is warning that the most likely outcome is that human civilization is poised for collapse. As The Guardian reports, a sweeping new historical survey that analyzes 5,000 years and the collapse of more than 400 societies makes the case that we're in for a rude awakening. "We can’t put a date on Doomsday, but by looking at the 5,000 years of [civilisation], we can understand the trajectories we face today — and self-termination is most likely," Luke Kemp, research fellow at the Cente

Watch the Samsung Galaxy Flip 7 and Fold 7 put through extreme bend and scratch tests

Why it matters: Samsung's Z Flip series has long been more popular than the Z Fold, mostly due to being half the price. But is the latest version of the flippable more durable than the foldable? YouTube channel JerryRigEverything put the two handsets through torture tests to find out. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 did well in Zack Nelson's famed durability challenge recently (bottom of the page), surviving two bend tests despite having a 4.3mm-thin (unfolded) chassis.

The Toyota Corolla of programming

In 1995, an otherwise unknown software developer released the first version of a new scripting language whose explicit aim was to make applications for this new platform called “The World Wide Web”. After starting as a small project, and thanks to the crazy dot-com years, it grew dramatically to become one of the most widely used programming languages of all time. After some stumbling first steps, it eventually got some sort of standardization in 1997, even reluctantly including some OOP feature

Apple Really Needs to Launch a Foldable iPhone Flip in September

Apple's iPhone 17 is expected to launch in a matter of weeks at its September event. From upgraded cameras to AI improvements in iOS 26, the new iPhone lineup is expected to get a host of new features. But the long-rumored foldable iPhone Flip isn't expected to be part of this year's launch. Most Android phone-makers, including Samsung, Google, Motorola, OnePlus, Xiaomi and Honor, have been selling folding devices for years now, and it's beginning to feel like Apple is late to the party.

Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ May Be Ready for Testing Just Before the 2028 Election: Report

As far as I know, spending over a hundred billion dollars to build a giant, missile-guided protective “dome” that will probably never work is not something many Americans have ever asked the government to do. Nevertheless, Trump has made it a point to do just this. In January, Trump initially announced the “Golden Dome,” a project to protect Americans from the “threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks.” The project, which is intended to u

Leak claims the PS6 could have triple the performance as the PS5 for the same price

We're nearly five years out from the release of the original PlayStation 5 and rumors of Sony's next-gen console are starting to bubble up to the surface. In a YouTube video from Moore's Law is Dead, the leaker shares extensive information about the PlayStation 6's possible specs, starting price and release timing. It's always important to take these early leaks with a large grain of salt and Moore's Law is Dead even adds a disclaimer in the video that the info was sourced from a leaked AMD pres

I Played Battlefield 6: Hands-On With the Return To Big Battle Warfare

After a few hours playing the upcoming Battlefield 6, it's clear the game is designed to be a mea culpa to fans: Trust us, we're bringing back the Battlefield you remember. At a massive preview event in Los Angeles, I sat down to play a slice of the game's multiplayer mode -- and came off it suitably whelmed with a mix of raucous moments and tedious deaths. Ultimately, it feels like it will deliver the kind of big team battles players have been craving, with technical flourishes that amplify the
