OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is setting a breakneck pace with his company, rolling out feature after feature to keep the multibillion-dollar gravy train steaming ahead. And that kind of drum beat, especially paired with ChatGPT's meteoric rise, is bound to cause plenty of chaos behind the scenes. In a blog post, former OpenAI engineer Calvin French-Owen, who helped build the company's new coding agent Codex, said there "wasn't any personal drama in my decision to leave" — but he did recap his experie

The Galaxy Watch 8 gets a key battery health feature that more smartwatches need

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-19 17:42:49

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 8 series introduces a “battery protection” feature designed to extend the device’s battery longevity. The feature works by stopping the charge at 90% and only resuming it when the battery level drops down to 85%. This prevents the battery from sitting at a full 100% charge, which reduces stress and helps slow long-term battery degradation. Most people don’t upgrade their smartwatch every year, opting to keep their device unt

Uranus Leaks More Heat Than We Thought

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-21 17:25:45

When Voyager 2 flew past Uranus in 1986, the spacecraft detected a surprisingly low level of internal heat from the planet. Since then, scientists believed Uranus to be the odd one out in our solar system’s family of giant planets—the others being Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune—who all tend to emit more heat than they absorb from sunlight. Now, a new study suggests that scientists may have had the wrong idea about Voyager 2’s data: Uranus does have an internal heat source similar to its planetary

Could the Galaxy Z Fold 7 really be the world’s thinnest foldable after all?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-22 03:12:51

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR A side-by-side comparison shows that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may actually be thinner than the Magic V5. HONOR claims the Magic V5 measures 8.8mm, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 8.9mm. The unique way the company measured the Magic V5 may explain the discrepancy. When Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, it impressed with a thickness of just 8.9mm. This measurement was enough to have it tie with the OPPO Find N5 for the world’s thinnest book-style folda

For better or worse, M3GAN’s sophomore outing in M3GAN 2.0 brought with it much more action-packed mania than the killer-doll horrors of the original. That, and of course the awkward inconvenience of M3GAN’s body being destroyed in the climax of the first film, meant her return for round two needed a mechanical do-over… including a few upgrades for good measure.
