YouTube will be included in Australia's social media ban for children after all

YouTube will be included in Australia's social media ban for children under 16, as reported by Bloomberg . The country's Labor government said that the site will be subject to the same rules as other leading platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X when the legislation goes into effect this December. Australia had planned to exempt YouTube from the forthcoming social media ban, on the grounds that it's an educational tool. This irked other platforms, with Meta and TikTok urging the coun

Critical Vulnerability Discovered 11 Days After Wix Buys Base44

One of the most profoundly transformed domains in the wake of the LLM revolution has been code generation, especially the rise of vibe coding, where natural language prompts replace traditional programming. This shift has empowered millions of users with little to no technical background to build fully functional applications with ease. Platforms like Loveable, Bolt, and Base44 are on the front of this movement - they have enabled the creation of millions of applications spanning from persona

5 preinstalled apps you should delete from your Samsung phone immediately

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Samsung phones are well known for One UI, one of the most functional and intuitive Android interfaces. While it's highly customizable, these phones often come with preinstalled bloatware. Some built-in Samsung apps, such as Wearable and Wallet, are useful within the Samsung ecosystem. However, there are at least five first-party apps that even dedicated Samsung users rarely touch. The preinstalled bloatware apps can vary by device, price, and lineup, but many are common ac

Inside the LG G5’s shocking last-place finish at the 2025 TV Shootout

The 2025 TV Shootout went down over the weekend, and the results are shocking: yes, the Sony Bravia 8 II won the overall competition and my personal award for silliest name, but the LG G5 came in last place by a huge margin. I was one of the judges, and I think I have a sense of what’s going on. If you’re not familiar, the TV Shootout is an annual event hosted by Value Electronics, a boutique and high-end home theater store started by Robert and Wendy Zohn in 1998. They’ve been holding the even

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 review: more of a good thing

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. It’s the flip phone paradox: if you want to be more mindful about your mobile device usage, you need more screen, not less. I know. But I swear it’s true: with a bigger cover screen, you get more than just a new way to check notifications. You can actually get shit done. Things that are annoying or even impossible to do on

Samsung is making a big mistake with the Galaxy S26 series

Yesterday, my Android Authority colleagues broke the news that Samsung might be shaking up the Galaxy series with the S26 next year. According to our sleuthing, the three product names for the upcoming phones will be Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. And wow, do these tell a story or what? The Ultra is here to stay, clearly. As the crown jewel of the series, it’s predicted to have a massively upgraded main camera, faster charging, Qualcomm’s highest-end Snapdragon Elite pro

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is finally thin enough, here’s what Samsung should fix next

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a major step forward for Samsung; it’s the lightest and arguably thinnest foldable phone on the planet. That’s a dramatic upgrade over last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 6, which looked dated compared to rival devices. Here’s the thing, though. We’re now at the point where the Galaxy Z Fold and other foldable phones are arguably thin enough; they are now a hair thicker than conventional smartphones. If we no longer need thinner phones, here’s what I’d like Samsung to do next with

If last year’s Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 was tried and true, this year’s Galaxy Watch 8 is a bit more like tried and fine. This isn’t overtly bad. Most smartwatch newbies will be delighted by the $349.99 Galaxy Watch 8 — provided they can stomach the new squircle design. It’s more that if you’ve been a fan of Samsung smartwatches, it fe

Google and Samsung are forever changing Android updates as we know them

Joe Maring / Android Authority As an Android fan, there’s nothing quite like a major Android OS upgrade. Even as more recent Android versions have seen tamer year-over-year updates compared to a decade ago, there’s still something exciting about getting a fresh piece of software on your phone or tablet. For the last several years, the cadence of Android updates has been consistent: Google announces a Developer Preview sometime in February or March, a public beta follows in the spring, and the

Galaxy S26 is dead, long live S26 Pro: Another leak points to Samsung’s flagship shakeup

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR We previously found code evidence within One UI 8 suggesting that Samsung’s next flagship lineup could consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, GSMA listings for the base Galaxy S26 contradicted this finding. Previously listed as “Galaxy S26,” updated GSMA listings were spotted for SM-S942, which now list the same model number as the “Galaxy S26 Pro.” This corroborates our previous finding and suggests that the Galaxy

Official Apple support account accidentally promoted a Samsung foldable phone [Video]

An official Apple support account on China’s Weibo social network managed to accidentally post a promotional video for a Samsung folding phone. The embarrassing mistake coincided with a new analyst report on the expected price and timing for Apple’s own move into this market, with an upcoming iPhone Fold … The iPhone Fold Apple has long been working on a foldable iPhone, but has so far been waiting for the tech to be good enough to meet the company’s standards for such a device.

How long will your Galaxy Z Fold 7 screen last? That depends on where you live.

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Display has revealed more details about the Galaxy Z Fold 7 screen’s durability in extreme temperatures. Samsung told Android Authority that the folding screen is rated for 60,000 folds at -20 degrees Celsius and 300,000 folds at 60 degrees Celsius. This is a two-fold increase over the Galaxy Z Fold 5’s folding screen durability in extreme temperatures. Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7 earlier this month, and it also revealed that the fold

Elements of System Design

Elements of System Design System design is often taught through domain-specific solutions specific to particular domains, such as databases, operating systems, or computer architecture, each with its own methods and vocabulary. While this diversity is a strength, it can obscure cross-cutting principles that recur across domains. This paper proposes a preliminary taxonomy of system design principles distilled from several domains in computer systems. The goal is a shared, concise vocabulary that

Why I'm patiently waiting for the Samsung Z Fold 8 next year (even though the foldable is already great)

Jason Howell/ZDNET Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an impressive book-style foldable that tackles many of the long-standing quibbles plaguing the Fold series for years. I spent a weekend with the device, and was floored by how much its reduced weight and thickness made it feel like a standard candy bar phone when folded. CNET survey: 64% of people say 'no thanks' to foldable smartphones The cover screen is wider and more usable, the interior display is larger at eight inches, and the new 200

Love your new Galaxy Watch 8? Here’s one setting you need to fix immediately

Joe Maring / Android Authority Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 series officially hit store shelves last Friday, and from what we’ve seen so far, Samsung’s newest wearables are likely among the best Wear OS watches you can buy this year. I’ve been wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for the last few days, and while I’m nowhere near ready to review it, my first impressions have been positive. I’ve long been a fan of Samsung smartwatches, particularly those with rotating bezels. As such, going ba

Russian airline Aeroflot grounds dozens of flights after cyberattack

Aeroflot, Russia's flag carrier, has suffered a cyberattack that resulted in the cancellation of more than 60 flights and severe delays on additional flights. Although official sources from Russia, like the General Prosecutor's Office, did not attribute the attack to specific threat groups or even origin, responsibility was taken by Ukrainian and Belarusian hacktivist collectives 'Silent Crow' and 'Cyberpartisans BY.' The latter are known for previous attacks on the Belarusian Railway, the cou

Own a Samsung phone? Changing these 7 settings will drastically improve the battery life

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are some of the best Android phones available today, thanks to their responsive and feature-rich software. But most Samsung phones -- especially the flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Z Flip 7 -- come with over-the-top features that you might not use daily. If your new Galaxy phone isn't lasting an entire day on a single charge, there are ways to make the most of what you have without hindering the user experience. Also: The

5 phones you should buy instead of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Samsung’s new folding phones are all officially on sale, meaning you can now readily get your hands on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. The Fold 7 and Flip 7 are both shaping up to be excellent upgrades, but the Flip 7 FE is quite strange. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is Samsung’s first attempt at a “budget” foldable, and while the intent behind the phone is good, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The Flip 7 FE is essentially a

The sequel to the world’s most popular Android phone just leaked

Android Headlines TL;DR Samsung Galaxy A16 5G, the best-selling Android phone for Q1 2025, could be getting a successor soon. The Galaxy A17 5G has now leaked with a slightly upgraded camera design. The Galaxy A17 5G is expected to be powered by an Exynos 1380, which trickles down from the Galaxy A54. $200 phones barely receive more than a couple of years of updates, but Samsung’s Galaxy A16 5G is an outlier with a promised software support for six years. That is one of the reasons, in addit
