I used every Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Series model - and my favorite isn't the Ultra

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra is one of my favorite smartwatches thanks to its long battery life, unique design, and WearOS functionality. And with Samsung's new Galaxy Watch 8 series, the company has incorporated that same core design with a curved square back and round watch face, which Samsung calls a cushion design, across all of its products.

Update, 9:00 PM ET, 7/10/25: She has been graced with a blue check once more. Ex-CEO of X, Linda Yaccarino, seems to have left the company on good terms. That is to say, Elon Musk has not disparaged her yet, and we know that he is not known to mince words about his adversaries. But now we have the teeniest, tiniest morsel of evidence that — maybe, perhaps, possibly, if we squint our eyes really, really tight — something else could be going on. Yes, reader.

LGND wants to make ChatGPT for the Earth

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-08-01 20:58:45

The Earth is awash in data about itself. Every day, satellites capture around 100 terabytes of imagery. But making sense of it isn’t always easy. Seemingly simple questions can be fiendishly complex to answer. Take this question that is of vital economic importance to California: How many fire breaks does the state have that might stop a wildfire in its tracks, and how have they changed since the last fire season? “Originally, you’d have a person look at pictures. And that only scales so far,”

Slate Auto: Everything you need to know about the Bezos-backed EV startup

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-08-02 03:00:00

In April 2025, a new company called Slate Auto came out of stealth and shocked the car industry. Not only was this startup focused on making an ultra-cheap, customizable electric pickup truck with funding from Jeff Bezos, but it had also been operating in secret for three years in Troy, Michigan — the backyard of major automakers like Ford and General Motors. TechCrunch was first to the story, reporting in early April about the company’s existence, its involvement with the Amazon founder, and i
