dem10/iStock/Getty Images Plus If you don't pay careful attention when setting up a new Windows PC or completing installation after a feature update, you could find many of your data files suddenly relocated to the cloud.

Ryan Reynolds Fesses Up to Leaking ‘Deadpool’ Test Footage

The big reason we have a Deadpool film trilogy is because of leaked test footage for the first movie back in 2014. It’s since become generally agreed upon that leading man Ryan Reynolds probably had something to do with it, and now the actor himself has gone and said he leaked it, yeah. Talking to Entertainment Weekly at TIFF, Reynolds said the leak may have been “cheating,” but done with the best of intentions. “I think I was onto something that people would be interested in,” he told the outl

Godfather of AI Says His Girlfriend Broke Up With Him Using ChatGPT

Geoffrey Hinton, long considered a "godfather of AI" and who won the Nobel Prize in Physics last year, has a complicated relationship with the tech he pioneered at Google many years ago. He's long argued that AI poses an existential risk to humanity, and signed a letter earlier this year calling on OpenAI not to betray its non-profit roots. Even in his own personal life, it sounds like Hinton can't escape the tech. In an interview with the Financial Times, the 77-year-old revealed that his ex-

Boat-Attacking Orcas Are Back for Vengeance

"We completely freaked out when we realized the orcas were hitting the boat." Pods of killer whales are once again attacking boats along the coast of Spain, striking fear into the hearts of local sailors. As Live Science reports, the orcas have been singling out sailboats and tearing off their rudders, again drawing attention to the large sea mammals' changing behavior, with experts suggesting that orcas are teaching each other how to take down sailing vessels. While scientists are still tryi

Samsung leak reveals how you’ll be opening and closing its dual-hinge foldable

TL;DR A new animation for Samsung’s multi-fold foldable has leaked. The animation shows how the device will open and close. It also appears to show that users will be able to take selfies with the rear cameras. Samsung debuted the Galaxy S25 FE this week, but that’s not the last smartphone the company is expected to announce this year. The tech giant also has a multi-fold device, popularly but misleadingly called a “tri-fold,” due later this year. Last week, a few 2D animations related to the

Ryan Reynolds and Mark Ruffalo Are Both Downplaying Their Rumored Marvel Futures

Two massive, massive Marvel movies are set to release in 2026, and, according to two massive, massive actors, they may not be included. This week, both Mark Ruffalo and Ryan Reynolds downplayed rumors of their appearances in next year’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday, respectively, but we aren’t quite buying it. To recap, earlier this year, news broke that Mark Ruffalo would be returning as Hulk in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set for release July 31, 2026. That has yet to be of

Samsung wasn’t even the second-most popular foldable maker in Q2 2025

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung only accounted for third place in foldable phone shipments in Q2 2025, according to Counterpoint Research. HUAWEI was in first place, while Motorola was the runner-up. This report doesn’t take Samsung’s latest foldables into account, as they launched in Q3. Foldable phones only account for a small number of smartphones shipping globally, but a new market share report has revealed some bad news for Samsung for Q2 2025. Counterpoint Research has p

Galaxy Z Fold 7 is enough of a hit that Samsung is cranking up production

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has raised September Galaxy Z Fold 7 production to 260,000 units, up 60,000 from earlier plans. August Fold 7 output hit 430,000 units, well above the 170,000 initially targeted, while Flip 7 production fell short. Shipments could exceed Samsung’s 2.4 million-unit goal for 2025. Samsung’s top-end foldable might come with a heavy price tag, but that hasn’t stopped demand from forcing the company to build more. Samsung has reportedly raised its Sep

With three new upcoming launches, Apple products will push prices higher than ever

Apple has always been unapologetic in its premium positioning. You know that when you buy Apple, you’re going to be paying a higher price than for almost any competing product, and are willing to do so for the perceived benefits of this – whether that’s the quality, the style, or the ecosystem. The company has made a few nods toward affordability over the years, and we’re expecting the next one to be a new entry-level MacBook. But we’re also moving into an era where three new product launches a

People Are Backflipping Off of Waymo’s Robotaxis

In a bizarre (or hilarious) late-night episode that underscored public unease with autonomous vehicles, several men climbed onto stalled Waymo robotaxis in San Francisco’s Marina District and began attacking them. They then started sitting and climbing on them and, at one point, began doing backflips off the driverless cars while a crowd cheered. City police eventually cleared the scene, but the incident highlights growing tensions over deployments of robotaxis in urban areas. So what happene

Darth Vader’s Lightsaber Sets New Sale Record at Sci-Fi Movie Auction

How much would you be willing to pay for Darth Vader’s lightsaber from Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi? For at least one lucky fan, the answer was more than $3.65 million. The lightsaber sold for a cool $3,654,000 on Thursday—a record for a Star Wars item sold at auction. It sold as part of the first day lots of Propstore’s Los Angeles Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction and is the only hero lightsaber across the two films “with verifiable screen use ever” to ever come to public a

Tesla offers $1 trillion to Elon Musk to unleash his army of robots

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. Elon Musk could become the world’s first trillionaire if Tesla shareholders approve a new pay package that was just put forward by the company’s board. Musk would need to meet certain milestones in order to receive that eye-popping compensation, such as producing 1 million robotaxis and 1 million humanoid robots, as well a

64% of People Still Don't Want a Foldable Smartphone, CNET Survey Finds

Foldables have been a staple of the smartphone release cycle for years now, with products from companies such as Samsung, Motorola and Google. Despite the refreshingly unique form factor in a sea of mobile uniformity, the vast majority of consumers still aren't sold. According to a CNET survey, 64% of respondents say they aren't willing or interested in buying a foldable smartphone in the next year, while just 13% say they are. An additional 20% aren't sure if they want a foldable and only 3% s

PSA: Google’s new Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W charger isn’t the same everywhere

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s new Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W charger may be missing one feature depending on where you buy it. Users on Reddit point out that the charger’s prongs don’t fold as advertised on Google’s website and Amazon. The lack of foldable prongs may be limited to specific regions, though. Google’s new Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W charger is surely one of the best accessories you can buy for your Pixel 10 phone. The $59.99 USB-C fast charger uses proprietary tec

Huawei Releases Its Second Trifold Phone Weeks Ahead of Samsung's Expected Launch

Huawei's second-generation trifold phone, the Mate XTs, is now available, just shy of a year after the company's first trifold phone was released in September 2024. The trifold phone isn't much different from the Mate XT, but two big upgrades take the spotlight. The Mate XTs let you use a stylus on the phone's folding screen and comes in purple, red, black or white. It runs on HarmonyOS 5.1, which Huawei calls a "PC-level" experience, and has a new M-Pen 3 stylus. "In the free multiwindow mode

Your old Google phone may be getting this Pixel 9 livestreaming feature

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Pixel’s Connected Cameras feature is appearing on older models, such as the Pixel 6a, 7, and 8 Pro.

Hledger 1.50

Transaction balancing is now done in a more robust way, using local precisions only (like Ledger) #2402. Until now, a transaction was required to balance using its commodities's global display precisions. Small imbalances were tolerated by configuring display precisions for the whole journal (with commodity directives). Now, a transaction is required to balance using the precisions in its journal entry only. This means each entry can use the precision it needs, and balancing precision and di

The first iPhone with all-screen display could arrive next year: report

The dream of an edge-to-edge iPhone display with no cutout could come true sooner than we thought. Per a new analyst report, next year’s iPhone Fold might be the first iPhone to move camera components under the display, thus offering a truly all-screen design. iPhone Fold expected to feature under-display front camera When Apple launched the iPhone X in 2017, it touted a “gorgeous all-glass design.” But as we all know, that design included a notch, which in 2022 shrank into the Dynamic Island.

Latest Galaxy tri-fold rumor says the wait might be longer than we thought

Apple is already raising iPhone Fold expectations in a big way, per report

Apple’s first ‘iPhone Fold’ is still about a year away from launching, but according to a new analyst note, the company recently raised shipment expectations significantly for the new model. Kuo: Apple recently raised iPhone Fold shipment projections substantially We’re just days away from the iPhone 17 lineup’s full unveiling.

Samsung's Trifold Phone and AI Glasses Reportedly Set for Sept. 29 Launch

Is three better than two? Apparently, we're about to find out again. Samsung will reportedly launch its Galaxy Z TriFold in South Korea on Sept. 29 in its third Unpacked event of 2025. At the same time, the company will introduce its Project Moohan mixed reality headset and AI smart glasses. If Samsung does indeed unleash the Galaxy Z TriFold later this month, it would be the second triple-screen phone in existence. Huawei last year rolled out its Mate XT in China, and we kinda sorta liked it.

Bitcoin bucks stock market downtrend but lags gold rally

The moves came amid a sell-off in stocks and a jump in bond yields, which were triggered by concerns — which first emerged late on Friday ahead of the extended holiday weekend — on the legality of President Donald Trump's global tariffs and the prospect that the U.S. may have to repay money already received . The price of so-called digital gold rose as much as 2% to reclaim the $111,000 level after dropping over the weekend to a low last seen in July. Spot gold hovered around $3,500 after surpa

As we await the iPhone Fold, Samsung and Huawei move onto trifolds

It seems clear we’re still a year away from the first iPhone Fold, but the rest of the market isn’t standing still. Samsung is planning to launch its first trifold phone this year, and Huawei is already onto its second-generation model. On a pedantic note, I would argue that as they have two sets of hinges, they are bifold rather than trifold, but the industry seems to have adopted the latter term, so I guess we’re stuck with it now … Huawei was first off the block with the Mate XT, shown abov

Samsung’s trifold might be launching pretty soon

We know officially that Samsung is planning to launch its first trifold phone this year, and recent rumors suggest that might mean either this month or next. Just don’t expect it to appear at this week’s Unpacked event, which promises products ranging from “premium AI tablets to the newest member of the Galaxy S25 family.” Korea’s ET News reports today that the new foldable could be unveiled as early as this month, with the phone actually on sale in November. That launch sounds pretty limited t
