Why I'll keep the Samsung Z Fold 7 over the Pixel 10 Pro Fold - especially if these rumors are true

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2026-01-05 14:42:00

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to launch on August 20, but it might not go on sale till October 9. It will be difficult for Google to beat Samsung in the foldable segment this year due to design differences. Unless there's an actually useful AI feature or significantly better battery life, I'll stick with my Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Mandatory AI summaries have come to Google, and they gleefully showcase hallucinations while confidently insisting on their truth. I feel about them the same way I felt about mandatory G+ logins when all I wanted to do was access my damn YouTube account: I hate them. Intensely. But unlike those mandatory G+ logins—on which Google eventually relented before shutting down the G+ service—our reading of the tea leaves suggests that, this time, the search giant is extremely pleased with how things a

Small Changes That Made Our Daily Stand-Ups More Useful

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Koprowski 2026-01-05 12:14:00

Daily stand-ups are a cornerstone of agile software development – but often they’re seen as a burden or a distraction. Why? Because they frequently devolve into long status reports that bore participants and add little real value. Others see it as a waste of time or such regular part of their day, that it doesn’t deserve a second though. During the past two years, together with my team, I worked on improving our daily to transform it to a tool that helps every participant to kickstart their da

Tesla shareholders filed a lawsuit in federal court Monday against both the EV company and CEO Elon Musk, alleging they made “materially false and misleading statements” about the safety of their robotaxis and the regulatory scrutiny that comes with launching autonomous vehicles. Tesla launched its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, on June 22, but there’s a human “safety monitor” in the passenger seat, and the robotic vehicles are geofenced to a relatively small area in the city.
