States take the lead in AI regulation as federal government steers clear

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-10 06:34:52

US state legislatures are where the action is for placing guardrails around artificial intelligence technologies, given the lack of meaningful federal regulation. The resounding defeat in Congress of a proposed moratorium on state-level AI regulation means states are free to continue filling the gap. Several states have already enacted legislation around the use of AI. All 50 states have introduced various AI-related legislation in 2025. Four aspects of AI in particular stand out from a regula

Samsung revives the Galaxy S20 Ultra with one more update

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-10 20:48:38

David Imel / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy S20 Ultra has received a security update, a few months after Samsung officially pulled support for the device. This update only applies to the Verizon model for now, though. Samsung’s 2020 flagship launched with the promise of four major OS upgrades and five years of security updates. The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra was released back in 2020 as the company’s first Ultra phone. The phone officially became unsupported earlier this year, but Samsung

The History and Physics of the Atomic Bomb

wired.com Luca Nardi 2025-12-10 21:00:00

In 1938, Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, who had fled to New York to escape fascism, discovered a material in which a process of this type occurred: uranium. Fearing that the Nazis might also discover this element’s capability of producing a chain reaction, the Manhattan Project was born in 1940, a secret program for the development of nuclear weapons led by Arthur Compton. Compton formed a research group, which also included Fermi and Szilard, that would continue to conduct experiments on nucle

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 may have just come out, but it appears the company is already teasing its next foldable phone that takes things to a whole other level. In an earnings call last week, which Seeking Alpha shared, Samsung noted it's pushing forward with its triple-screen foldable, which has been rumored for months.

Teardown confirms Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a repair nightmare, but maybe that’s the point

TL;DR iFixit gives the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 a pitiful repair score in its latest teardown. Fragile inner components, glued batteries, and a hard-to-replace screen make DIY fixes tough. It could be that the same design choices may help the phone survive extreme durability tests.

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a native option for stock Android to flip the three-button navigation bar, a feature long requested by users switching from Samsung devices. This addresses a major pain point, as Samsung’s default navigation layout is the reverse of stock Android’s, forcing users to retrain their muscle memory.

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

The Galaxy S26 Edge battery rumors just got even more promising

TL;DR A new leak suggests the Galaxy S26 Edge will have a 4,400mAh battery. That’s noticeably up from 3,900mAh in the S25 Edge and slightly more than a previous 4,200mAh claim. Both leaks point to Samsung addressing one of the biggest complaints about the S25 Edge. The Galaxy S25 Edge was one of Samsung’s most criticized flagships of recent years, and much of that frustration rightly centered on battery life.
