androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-17 22:29:08

TL;DR A new leak has revealed a more complete spec sheet for the Galaxy S25 FE. The phone is expected to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, Exynos 2400 chip, and 45W charging. It looks like the selfie camera will be bumped to 12MP, and the device will weigh around 190g. We’ve already got a pretty solid idea of what to expect from the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, but the same leaker behind last week’s RAM and storage leak is back with a more substantial spec dump.

Design patterns you should unlearn in Python

Search for “design patterns in Python” and you’ll be rewarded with a parade of tutorials showing off how to faithfully re-implement Gang of Four patterns — complete with class diagrams, factory hierarchies, and enough boilerplate to heat a small village. They’ll make you feel like you’re writing “serious” code. Smart. Professional. Enterprise-ready. But here’s the problem: most of these patterns solve problems Python doesn’t have.

The Original ‘Star Wars’ Will Celebrate Its 50th Anniversary in Theaters

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-17 22:01:18

To mark a monumental occasion, some people go on a vacation; others go to a nice dinner or throw a party. For Star Wars, it’s celebrating its 50th anniversary by going back to the movies. Disney just announced it will re-release George Lucas’ original Star Wars in theaters on April 30, 2027. That’s about a month ahead of the actual anniversary on May 25, 2027, but that weekend is reserved for a brand new Star Wars film, Star Wars: Starfighter, starring Ryan Gosling.

You Should Get All Those Switch 2 Accessories Now Before They Get Even More Expensive

The situation surrounding Trump tariffs hasn’t eased its pressure on Nintendo. Even as the Switch 2 has become one of the fastest-selling consoles ever, the Mario maker said that select Switch 2 accessories may see price “adjustments” starting Aug 3. Not only that, but the original Switch and Switch OLED could cost more going forward. I guess we shouldn’t say we told you so, but even we didn’t expect to witness original Switch models selling for $40 or $50 more than before. In a news post, Nint

Nintendo said Friday it plans to hike the price of its original Switch "family of systems and products" in the U.S. The price increases, which take effect Aug. 3, are being made "based on market conditions," the Japanese company said in a post on its website.

Nintendo won’t say it’s raising Switch prices, but it’s raising Switch prices

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Prices for the original Nintendo Switch family of products will change in the US on August 3, 2025. The reason is attributed to market conditions in the US. Other products, like certain Switch 2 accessories, select amiibo, and the Alarmo clock, will also see price adjustments. Normally, after a new console launches, the previous system will see a price cut. It appears Nintendo is preparing to do the opposite with the original Switch. And it looks like

Samsung’s 60W Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade is exciting, but I have concerns

As a proponent of fast charging convenience, the report that Samsung will increase the power of next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra to 60W is music to my ears. The current 45W power level is already in a sweet spot, taking just under an hour to fully charge the phone. Still, that extra boost will undoubtedly come in handy when you need to bring the phone back from the brink quickly. More juice in fewer minutes is always welcome when you’re in a hurry.

A Hitchhiker's Guide to the AI Bubble

"The competition for AGI—AI that surpasses humans at all cognitive tasks—is of fundamental geopolitical importance." That's The Economist, last week. Not some breathless tech blogger or venture capitalist talking their book. The world's most prestigious economic publication. Notice the framing - it treats AGI as a foregone geopolitical contest. They're not wrong about the competition. They're just wrong about what we're competing for. I started coding again last year. First time in 13 years.

Hibernation’s Hidden Healing ‘Superpowers’ Could Be Locked in Our DNA

After spending months without eating, drinking, or moving, hibernating mammals must rebound from extreme physiological changes. Two new studies suggest that the genetic “superpowers” underlying this incredible resilience may also be present in the human genome. For these studies, published Thursday, July 31, in the journal Science, researchers at the University of Utah honed in on the specific DNA regions that help hibernators rapidly recover from muscle atrophy, insulin resistance, and brain d
