My father, also known as “R0ML” once described a methodology for evaluating volume purchases that I think needs to be more popular. If you are a hardcore fan, you might know that he has already described this concept publicly in a talk at OSCON in 2005, among other places, but it has never found its way to the public Internet, so I’m giving it a home here, and in the process, appropriating some of his words.

The Anker SOLIX F3000 is my new favorite high-capacity power station for one simple reason

Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station The Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station offers high-end performance that is very similar to Anker's top-of-the-line options. It is more portable and affordable, though, making it a better choice for hybrid use and buyers who need elite power at home and on the go. I recently got the opportunity to kit out my entire home with backup power thanks to the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus. I loved it then, and I still love it now, but high-end power stations like

What Happens When You Fold and Unfold the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 Times?

After folding and unfolding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 times by hand, Korean YouTube channel Tech-it found that the folding phone's redesigned hinge and thinner design couldn't withstand repeated handling. The stunt, which was livestreamed over the course of a few days, found that the phone would reboot every 6,000 to 10,000 folds. At 46,000 folds, the phone started to creak. At 75,000 folds, an unknown black liquid started to leak out of the hinge. At 175,000 folds, all speakers, incl

Someone folded the Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 times: Here’s what broke

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-07 23:12:16

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Korean YouTuber manually folded the Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 times over five days to test its real-world durability. Samsung’s 500,000-fold durability claim for the inner screen seems plausible so far, but the test did produce some hardware issues. Notable issues included a reboot error (6,000–10,000 folds), hinge creaking (from 46,000 folds), liquid seepage (after 75,000 folds), and speaker failure (at 175,000 folds).

TL;DR A woman has been awarded the equivalent of $200,000 after her phone caused a house fire while charging. The court ruled the LG K8 was defective and failed to meet safety expectations. Most of the payout will go to her insurer, but she also received compensation for injuries.
