2025 Volvo EX90: A low-key luxury electric SUV

Volvo was among the very first of the global automakers to declare plans to build an all-electrified future. Note the choice of word—electrified, not electric, as it includes hybrids, both plug-in and mild. When it comes to pure electric vehicles, the Swedish automaker has something of a two-pronged strategy. At the low end, there's the diminutive EX30 and EX30 Cross Country, a pair of stripped-down crossovers whose value proposition might be entirely different in light of tariffs and the end of

What Trump's 'big beautiful bill' means for Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 users (Hint: It's not pretty)

Francesco Carta fotografo/Getty Images I thought we'd dodged a networking bullet when the US Budget bill, aka the "One Big Beautiful Bill (BBB)," didn't include a freeze on AI regulation, which had been tied to broadband funding from the $42.5 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. However, I missed the point that the bill still includes provisions that could force the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to auction off significant portions of the 6GHz spectrum cur

Amazon Is Practically Giving Away Ultra-Slim Portable Monitor to Clear Out Best-Seller Shelves This Prime Day

Working remotely doesn’t require you to stay confined to your home. You can actually work from anywhere you wish so long as it has an internet connection. Personally, I tend not to venture out often. I just don’t feel as efficient outside my usual home setup. I’ve created a solid workspace at my desk, complete with three large monitors that spread out my work as much as I would like to. When limited to just my laptop screen, I feel so restricted. At least, that used to be the case before I got m

Epic Games Settles With Samsung. That's a Big Deal for Fortnite Players and Gamers More Broadly

Epic Games says it's reached a settlement with Samsung after suing both Samsung and Google last year over antitrust issues. The action is likely a turning point for players of Fortnite and other games. Epic didn't disclose the terms of the settlement, but the original suit focused on Samsung blocking the installation of apps on its mobile devices, making it more difficult for users to install Epic Games titles, such as the popular Fortnite. At the time, Epic said it took 21 steps to install a g

Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs Pixel 9 Pro Fold: There’s a clear winner for me

Last year, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold raised the bar significantly over its predecessor, while also giving the Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 a run for its money. Of course, the market never stands still for long. The new Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 is now here, but how does it compare to its Tensor-powered rival? For me, the choice is clear. Although the Pixel 9 Pro Fold was a close rival to the Galaxy Fold 6, Samsung’s latest model brings enough improvements to widen the gap. Below, I’ll dive into why I re

Claude can now connect to learning apps like Canvas, Panopto and Wiley

Claude might be my new favorite AI tool for Android - here's why

Anthropic / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I've run the gamut of apps on Android, including those created to serve as an AI assistant or answer machine (not to be mistaken for the old-school answering machine). It seems every take on mobile AI has yet to satisfy me. Nevertheless, I continue searching for the one app that has exactly what I need. I think I've found it, and its name is Claude. Also: What happened when Anthropic's Claude AI ran a small shop for a month (spoiler: it got weird) Cla
