A Pill to Fight Obesity Is on the Verge of Approval

Galaxy Z Flip 7 teardown shows how much progress Samsung has made toward repairability

TL;DR JerryRigEverything dismantled the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in a teardown, revealing its complex hinge and layered screen design.

Just bought a new Galaxy foldable? Watch out for this alert-hiding bug

When you buy a flagship Samsung phone, the minimum you expect is smooth sailing with the core functionality. Still, early Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 owners might want to double-check th

Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 deal: Is it better than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7?

An interactive guide to SVG paths

Introduction The SVG <path> element is notoriously tricky. When I first encountered it, I found it totally inscrutable. Its syntax isn’t quite as bad as Regex, but it has the same sort of “what on earth?” vibes. At the same time, <path> elements are also incredibly useful. They’re the only way to create curved shapes in SVG, beyond full ellipses. And once you get the hang of it, they’re actually quite a lot of fun to use! In this blog post, we’ll cover all of the basic commands, including the

A Digital Underground Is Using the Flipper Zero to Break Into Cars

Its creators call it a “multi-tool” device. For many users, it’s a hacking accessory. Since it first debuted in 2020, the Flipper Zero has been considered a fun, low-key pen-tester, but a new report bolsters claims made by the tool’s critics, many of whom have argued that it makes nefarious hacking just a little too easy. 404 Media reports that claims the Flipper has become a favorite in a digital underground where low-level hackers create and sell their own software to modify the tool’s abilit

California’s Next ‘Big One’ Might Not Follow the Script

On March 28, a devastating magnitude 7.7 earthquake rocked Myanmar, splitting the Sagaing Fault at speeds of over 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) per second.

The best flip phones of 2025: Where does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 stand?

Flip phones have come a long way in the last decade. After their resurgence with the 2019 Motorola Razr refresh, they have only improved over the years.

The 2025 Motorola Razr Ultra, for instance, packs an AMOLED foldable display, a feature-rich user interface and a comfortable in-hand feel, alongside a bunch of AI features.

Pebblebee Is Getting Serious About Personal Safety Tracking

Think of Bluetooth trackers and safety in the past few years and your first thought might be the misuse of Apple AirTags and similar devices against women in domestic abuse and stalking cases. Alongside collaborative initiatives to counter and shut down these malicious uses (such as the IETF’s Detection of Unwanted Location Trackers, or DULT, standard), tracker makers themselves are flipping the script, turning tech that has been used to monitor women against their will into tech that protects

The one feature that keeps me from recommending flip phones

is a reviewer with over a decade of experience writing about consumer tech. She has a special interest in mobile photography and telecom. Previously, she worked at DPReview. How it started I carry a lot of different phones around, and I rarely get questions about them because most people stopped talking about which phone they own around 2017. I could be using an unreleased iPhone 18 Pro Max Air Ultra to pay for my coffee and nobody would raise an eyebrow (present company excepted, of course).

1,600-Year-Old Depiction of Roman Flip-Flops Look So Real It Makes You Want to Wear Them

The ancient estate of Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily is known for featuring some of the most beautiful examples of Roman mosaics preserved in their original location.
