While the cover screen has grown over time, the overall candy bar-style form factor has remained mostly untouched. While brands like Honor, Vivo, and Google have released slimmer foldables, Samsung has stuck to steady, incremental upgrades, resulting in a sturdy hinge that holds at almost any angle and polished software for productivity.

Fastly, you killed glitch.com and ruined your karma for 10,000 years. You have “betrayed yourself for nothing.” Glitch was an idealistic place where people gathered and made sites, were inspired by other people’s sites and remixed them, and generally enjoyed themselves.
