Foldable phones are thin and light in 2025, so why are these brands bending the truth?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-22 13:00:19

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR A Twitter user has shown that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner than the HONOR Magic V5. It turns out both HONOR and OPPO measure their foldables without the protective inner screen film. A closer look at product pages also reveals that some brands don’t include these layers when weighing their foldables. HONOR launched the Magic V5 in China earlier this month, and the company claimed that the white version was the world’s thinnest foldable phone at 8.8mm. H

Here’s how Apple Intelligence keeps privacy in mind versus the competition

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-07-22 05:10:43

Artificial intelligence has obviously been the industry craze for the past couple years. While large language models are incredibly capable, they’ve always come with a bit of a compromise: privacy. Ultimately, you’re still using a model hosted in the cloud, and all of your conversations are stored on some server. Apple’s always had privacy at the core of its products – so in the months leading up to the debut of Apple’s AI features, many people wondered: how would Apple handle it? Today, we del

The iPad Pro with the M5 chip is expected to be just as easy to use for selfies in a landscape or portrait orientation. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple will add a second front-facing camera on the portrait edge of the upcoming iPad Pro that's expected to launch later this year. It may seem like a small quality-of-life upgrade, but it means the iPad Pro can use either camera to center the subject for selfies or FaceTime calls.

“Dynamic Programming” is not referring to “computer programming”

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-19 17:09:07

When seeing the phrase “dynamic programming” in an algorithms class or leetcode study guide, the first question people ask is “what does ‘dynamic’ mean in this context?”. The key question is instead “what does ‘programming’ mean in this context?”, because it does not mean “computer programming”. Instead it refers to, as the Oxford English Dictionary puts it, programming. n. 4. Planning carried out for purposes of control, management, or administration.

Laminar Flow Airfoil

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-19 11:54:27

Laminar Flow is the smooth, uninterrupted flow of air over the contour of the wings, fuselage, or other parts of an aircraft in flight. Laminar flow is most often found at the front of a streamlined body and is an important factor in flight. If the smooth flow of air is interrupted over a wing section, turbulence is created which results in a loss of lift and a high degree of drag. An airfoil designed for minimum drag and uninterrupted flow of the boundary layer is called a laminar airfoil. The
