What to expect from Samsung Unpacked tomorrow: Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, Watch 8 Series, more

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Three things are certain when July comes along: backyard barbecues, late-night fireworks, and Samsung Unpacked. Just last month, Samsung confirmed that the next Unpacked event will take place on Wednesday, July 9, in Brooklyn, New York. This follows the host cities of Paris, France, and Seoul, South Korea, over the past two years -- with the company suggesting that it's chosen Brooklyn for its "bold ideas, creativity, and culture."

macOS Tahoe 26 beta 3 makes tabs less confusing

One of the most common complaints in macOS Tahoe 26 betas 1 and 2 was the new tab UI in apps like Safari and Terminal, which added a black bar to the bottom of inactive tabs. In beta 3, Apple seems to have reversed course. Whether it was intentional or a bug on Apple’s part, many users had trouble quickly identifying the active tab. The low contrast between the selected tab and the rest of the UI, combined with that black underline on the non-active tabs, led to confusion, with some thinking th

5 Best Prime Day Fitness Tracker Deals and Smart Ring Sales (2025)

In the northern hemisphere, it's hard to not spend the winter in a state of slumbering sloth, just waiting for sunshine and good times to start again. Conveniently, Prime Day fitness tracker deals (all four days of them) drop right in the middle of summer, which makes this a great time to pick up the smartwatch or smart ring that you just didn't have the cash for at Christmas. This year, you have four whole days to shop the Amazon deals, but if you don't want to take that much time, I've highli

Jack Dorsey just released a Bluetooth messaging app that doesn't need the internet

Jack Dorsey just released a decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app that functions entirely over Bluetooth networks, as reported by CNBC . It's called Bitchat and doesn't need the internet to work, as there are no central servers. The Twitter co-founder calls it an experiment in "Bluetooth mesh networks, relays and store and forward models, message encryption models and a few other things.” It works by enabling encrypted communication between nearby gadgets. Basically, it sends messages direc

Employee gets $920 for credentials used in $140 million bank heist

Hackers stole nearly $140 million from six banks in Brazil by using an employee's credentials from C&M, a company that offers financial connectivity solutions. The incident reportedly occurred on June 30, after the attackers bribed the employee to give them his account credentials and perform specific actions that would help their operations. Insider threat According to Brazilian media reports, the employee (João Nazareno Roque) sold his corporate credentials to the hackers for roughly $920,

New sphere-packing record stems from an unexpected source

The advantage of Rogers’ method was that you didn’t have to start with a particularly efficient lattice to get an efficient sphere packing. You just had to choose the right ellipsoid. But this introduced a new complication. Unlike a sphere, which is completely defined by a single number — its radius — an ellipsoid is defined by several axes of different lengths. The higher the dimension, the greater the number of directions you can stretch your ellipsoid in, and the more options you have for wha

GoPro HERO13 Black Ultra Wide Edition Has Never Been This Cheap Before, Amazon Prime Day Exclusive Deal

If your summer plans include some epic adventuring — skydiving, maybe? Scuba diving? Mountain biking? No matter which extreme activities you have lined up, you’re going to have the same small problem: Nobody’s going to believe you without some proof. The best way to get that proof in the form of incredible, vivid, pro-quality videos is with the GoPro HERO13 Black Ultra Wide Edition, which has never been more affordable than it is right now at just $350 at Amazon. The GoPro HERO13 Black Ultra Wi

Solving Wordle with uv's dependency resolver

Introduction In a previous life, I wrote a Sudoku solver that relied on Poetry's dependency resolver. We ended up selling that startup to EDB (not because of the Poetry hack), which means that they now own this IP. And, since then, Python packaging has advanced, with uv taking the world by storm. This means that it's time for a refresh. Can we use uv instead of Poetry? And can we solve a Wordle instead of a Sudoku? For the impatient: you can get the solver from my GitHub. Run uv run main.py r

Live Updates From Samsung Unpacked 🔴

New Samsung foldables and wearables are coming on Wednesday, July 9. The tech giant is throwing a summer “Unpacked” event in Brooklyn, NY, starting at 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT, to announce new versions of its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldables, and refreshed Galaxy Watch smartwatches. Teased last month, we’re expecting “Ultra-worthy” design and tech specs that will—hopefully—wow consumers into paying top dollar for phones with screens that bend in half. What does Samsung need to finally impress?

Amazon Is Going Nuts on Prices, GoPro HERO13 Black Is Flying Off Shelves For Prime Day

Among the best deals is the GoPro Hero13 Black, the top-selling action camera in the world, which is now selling exceptionally cheaper. The Hero13 Black is now available for $329, down from its regular price of $429.

This No-Subscription Smart Ring Shamed Me Into Changing My Unhealthy Habits

As a veteran smartwatch and fitness tracker reviewer, it's rare that I get to approach a product with a completely fresh set of eyes, but that's what happened with the Ultrahuman Ring Air. This was the first smart ring I had ever tested, and in some ways, that made me the perfect person to review it. I approached it not as a seasoned biohacker, but as someone experiencing it the way most buyers would: curious, a little skeptical, and wondering whether it could replace my smartwatch. Better yet,

If You’re a Prime Member Only, This Jackery 1500W Power Station Is Going for Peanuts on Prime Day

The era of full stack chip designers

Disclaimer: Opinions shared in this, and all my posts are mine, and mine alone. They do not reflect the views of my employer(s), and are not investment advice. A few years back, when I was talking to a student that was interested in both the front-end and back-end stages in chip design, I made a cheeky remark that they should become a “Full Stack Chip Designer”.

Playdate Season 2 review: Taria & Como and Black Hole Havoc

We've officially made it to the end of Playdate Season Two, and what a season it's been. Despite having half the number of titles as Season One, this latest round of weekly game releases has made a much stronger impression (on me, at least). If nothing else, it's just been cool to experience the new games in real time with other Playdate owners all at once, which the staggered rollout of the console didn't really allow for with the first season. In an email ahead of the final release, the team a

Async Queue – One of my favorite programming interview questions

For the past 7+ years, I've been conducting a programming interview that has been a true personal favorite of mine. It was passed down to me from good friends (Jeremy Kaplan and Carl Sverre, and it was the latter whom I believe invented it). This interview has probably been given by us between 500-1000 times across different companies, and upon googling for "async queue interview", I see tons of results. So, it's probably fine for me to blog about it. My main goal with this blog post is to disc

How the Binding of Two Brain Molecules Creates Memories That Last a Lifetime

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When Todd Sacktor was about to turn 3, his 4-year-old sister died of leukemia. “An empty bedroom next to mine. A swing set with two seats instead of one,” he said, recalling the lingering traces of her presence in the house. “There was this missing person—never spoken of—for which I had only one memory.” That memory, faint but enduring, was set in the downstairs den of their home. A young Sacktor asked his sister to read him a book

Xbox's sci-fi looter-shooter Blackbird was scrapped even after leaving execs 'blown away'

Xbox was well on its way to delivering a sci-fi stylized game with plenty of exciting movement mechanics before an abrupt change of heart. The upcoming third-person shooter RPG codenamed Blackbird from ZeniMax Online Studios, which developed The Elder Scrolls Online, has been "shelved indefinitely," according to an exclusive report from Bloomberg. The report added that Xbox execs were "blown away" by the game and had "nothing but complimentary words," according to Bloomberg's sources. The excit

Slack now integrates with reMarkable's e-paper tablets

You can now send your reMarkable notes and doodles straight to Slack. The companies have announced Slack integration for reMarkable tablets, letting you send whatever you want from the e-paper device straight to your workplace chat in one tap. "...we realized that when there’s friction between thinking and producing, you risk losing time, ideas, and momentum," reMarkable Chief Technology Officer Nico Cormie said in a statement. By linking the tablet with Slack, there's less friction between comi

Ingram Micro outage caused by SafePay ransomware attack
