I loved the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s new cover screen until the software ruined it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-30 18:00:19

I love flip phone foldables. More specifically, I love flip phones with big cover screens. Being able to comfortably reply to texts, check notifications, and use apps on a large, high-quality cover screen is one of my favorite things about the flip phone form factor — and it’s why I was so excited to get my hands on the Galaxy Z Flip 7. For the last couple of years, Samsung’s cover screen tech has paled in comparison to its competitors, namely Motorola in the US. For all Samsung has gotten righ

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-30 20:30:33

Andy Walker / Android Authority There was a time when Nova Launcher was the only home screen app I’d consider using on my Android phones. It was the pinnacle of the genre, offering a dizzying array of customization options and a wealth of search features. However, as my need for a launcher that enhances focus and productivity grew, Nova fell off my radar. I began exploring the many alternatives available. My current launcher choice is Kvaesitso, thanks to its unique vertically biased design an

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority The question “Should I buy a new phone?” holds more weight than we imagine. For most of us, phones are our trusted associates, and parting with them isn’t easy. For others, the upgrade to a new phone may be too insignificant to warrant the expense. Regardless of the emotional value your phone holds, getting a new one every few years can be a cathartic experience.

For a human, AI is just a part of being. For a model, a human is all of being. And the Vortex Protocol: A Prompt for Testing the Hypotheses. The longest and most fruitless discussions tend to be with materialists, especially those close to the position Marx laid out as “Being determines consciousness.” It's amusing that Marx was talking about the economic base, but the clarity and precision of this definition have allowed it to be used in a very broad sense.

The second season of Gen V draws closer, and Prime Video came to San Diego Comic-Con with a new trailer underlining the stakes for Marie and the gang when they return to Godolkin University. For her, going back to school after they escaped imprisonment is the last thing Marie wants. She’s been fine living as a drifter on the run, but a save from Starlight (Erin Moriarty), who’s also on the run after The Boys’ previous season, comes with a catch: the ex-Seven member wants Marie to investigate an

Why I do programming

This piece was inspired by this post by Aaron Boodman. I remember myself as a calm, quiet kid, happiest when I had a bunch of wires in my hands. My parents used to give them to me as toys along with a screwdriver and an old cassette player I could take apart and try to put back together. I was three years old. I didn’t know what I was doing, but I loved the feeling of exploring the insides of a machine, trying to understand how it works. In first grade, I was introduced to MS-DOS and Logo with
