The Chillest ‘Pokémon’ Show Ever Made Returns This September

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2026-01-09 02:00:42

When Pokémon Concierge released in December 2023, we were immediately charmed by Dwarf Animation’s gorgeous, felt-covered spin on the world of Pokémon—and how the series resonated with the franchise’s older fans beyond gen-one nostalgia with its themes around work-life balance and burnout to provide the ultimate feel-good show. Now, we won’t have to wait much longer to check back into the Pokémon resort once again. During today’s Pokémon Presents livestream, the Pokémon Company and Netflix reve

Foldables have been a staple of the smartphone release cycle for years now, with offerings from companies like Samsung, Motorola and Google. But despite the refreshingly unique form factor in a sea of mobile uniformity, the vast majority of consumers still aren't interested. According to a CNET survey, 64% of respondents say they aren't willing or interested in buying a foldable smartphone in the next year, while just 13% say they are.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7's display is rated to withstand 500,000 folds

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-09 11:00:48

Samsung said the display it used for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 can be folded over twice as many times as the display used for the previous iterations of the model. The foldable OLED panel "remained fully functional" after certification company Bureau Veritas put it through a durability test, wherein it was folded 500,000 times over 13 days. That means if a user folds their phone roughly 100 times a day, the display could last for over 10 years. In its announcement, Samsung said that "durability is no

AirTags can also help you keep track of larger bags and luggage, and you could easily slip one into an interior pocket and call it a day. But if you’d rather hook the tracker to the outside, you’ll need something a bit larger and more flexible than a standard key ring. Belkin’s Secure Holder with Strap is a good option: it comes in different colors and it’s budget friendly at only $13.

It's weirdly difficult to get rid of old laptops, desktops and printers sitting around your house -- even when it's been over a decade since you last plugged them in. But recycling old tech is easier than you think and can free up a lot of space for you. A CNET survey found that 31% of US adults are still holding onto old, unused devices, including laptops, because they're unsure of what to do with them.

Why the Galaxy Z Fold 8 might be the foldable we've all been waiting for

zdnet.com Jason Howell 2026-01-09 23:00:15

Kerry Wan/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. The cover screen is wider and more usable, the interior display is larger at eight inches, and the new 200MP camera sensor means imagery isn't a big sacrifice this time around.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is considering switching from titanium to carbon fiber in the Galaxy Z Fold 8 due to supply chain concerns. Using carbon fiber could also enable the return of S Pen support, which isn’t as compatible with titanium. Samsung is working on thinner stylus technology but hasn’t confirmed whether the S Pen will return next year. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 hasn’t even shipped yet, but Samsung already appears to be rethinking some key design elements for its 20

Despite continued opposition, the World Bank has approved the first of five big dam projects expected to get its support in the coming months. Climate change has upped the need for renewable energy, but the environmental and social costs of building such massive projects remain.

What happens when housing prices go down?

There’s a theory about housing that has taken hold with a kind of religious fervor: If you want to make housing more affordable, just build more of it. Supply and demand. Simple economics. This narrative is now dominating housing policy discussion across the political spectrum. Deregulate, upzone, speed up approvals, let the market work. And if you build enough homes, the theory goes, prices will come down. But here’s the question almost no one asks: What happens when prices actually start to
