Dyson is making a splash this Prime Day with some of its biggest Prime Day discounts ever on Amazon – a rare move for the brand which has never been known to lower prices on major sale days. This year, however, Dyson is slashing prices across its line, from its top-selling vacuums to air purifiers, hair dryers, and most excitingly, the ultra-popular Airwrap. Right now on Amazon, the Dyson Airwrap Origin is at an all-time low of $399, down from its standard $499. It’s a deal that’s sure to attra

Linda Yaccarino steps down as CEO of Elon Musk’s X

Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X, stepped down from her role on Wednesday morning after two years. “When @elonmusk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company,” Yaccarino wrote. “I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.” After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down a

Samsung’s Audio Eraser now lets you clean up audio in other apps

Galaxy Watch Ultra gets more storage, a fresh color, and One UI 8 Watch — all without a price hike

Samsung’s new foldables are nearly perfect, but I still won’t upgrade from an older Fold or Flip

It’s summer, and that means it’s time for Samsung’s newest foldables — the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. And the good news is that this year, the new phones don’t just offer small refinements over last year’s models. The devices have fewer compromises, feel less awkward in the hand, and the cameras are no longer playing catch-up with the mainline series. It’s clear Samsung’s folding phone lineup is finally maturing in the right direction. That said, I can’t help but feel a little cautious since t

I held the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and it finally feels like Samsung actually tried

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series is the most widely available book-style foldable phone family. However, I’ve only begrudgingly recommended these devices to people wanting a large foldable. That’s mostly because Samsung has coasted on the design and hardware front while rivals have sprinted ahead with exciting designs and impressive hardware. After laying my hands on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, though, I’d argue that in some ways, it’s the most cutting-edge foldable

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner, lighter and has a larger 8-inch display

With the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung is getting closer than ever to perfecting its folding smartphones. The new model is a substantial improvement over the Fold 6 with a much thinner, lighter design, larger and brighter display and an improved hinge design that reduces visible creasing to almost nothing. It's also more powerful and comes with a new wide-angle camera that finally matches up with the mainstream Galaxy S series. Though it superficially resembles the previous model, Sams

Everything Samsung Announced at Its Summer Galaxy Unpacked Event

The Fold7 measures 8.9 millimeters when folded, a drastic reduction from the 12.1-mm Galaxy Z Fold6. Unfold it, and you're looking at a minuscule 4.2 mm of thickness, down from 5.6 mm last year. Honor's Magic V5 folding phone, announced last week, beats Samsung on thinness at 8.8 mm folded and 4.1 mm unfolded, but Samsung's specs are still impressive. The Fold7 is also lighter at 215 grams, a 24-gram drop from the Fold6. It weighs less than an iPhone 16 Pro Max. What's even crazier is that the

HBO Max comes full circle, and this time your apps will auto-update

The HBO streaming video app became HBO Max when the company added Warner Bros movies and Turner TV shows. In the worst rebrand since Twitter became X, the company later dropped the unique and valuable HBO part of the name and kept the generic and worthless Max part. Two years later, the company is fixing that. It today becomes HBO Max once more – and this time around, your apps should automatically update … Musk still holds the dumbest rebrand award thanks to throwing away a global household n

Apple Support app may soon get a generative AI assistant, and that’s a good thing

Apple might be the next company to add a ChatGPT-style chatbot to its Support app, likely as a way to automatically handle cases covered in its documentation and hand off only the trickier ones to a human. All things considered, this is a good move. A ‘Support Assistant’ potentially powered by a third-party model The Support app already has a live chat feature that connects users to actual humans, but wait times can get a bit unpredictable depending on the time of day, or after peak seasons li

Phrase origin: Why do we "call" functions?

On StackExchange, someone asks why programmers talk about “calling” a function. Several possible allusions spring to mind: Calling a function is like calling on a friend — we go, we stay a while, we come back. Calling a function is like calling for a servant — a summoning to perform a task. Calling a function is like making a phone call — we ask a question and get an answer from outside ourselves. The true answer seems to be the middle one — “calling” as in “calling up, summoning” — but indi

The Army Is Giving Up on War Horses

According to a report from Task and Purpose, the Department of Defense is significantly cutting back on funding for its Military Working Equid program, and it plans to put an end to almost all horse-related operations.

European VC breaks taboo by investing in pure defense tech from Ukraine’s war zones

Defense tech has gone from a no-go zone for VCs to a hot investment sector. However, dual use — meaning that the technology must also have civilian applications — is still a requirement for most of them, including the NATO Innovation Fund. Estonian VC firm Darkstar breaks from this trend by investing in purely military applications, with the goal of helping rearm Europe using combat-proven solutions emerging from Ukraine. “This is very critical, not only today but for the next 10 years,” said i

Surfing on a Matchbox (1999)

It is one tenth the size of a Palm Pilot and dwarfed by a typical desktop computer, which is 3,000 times larger. The matchbox-sized server was built from standard components by Professor Vaughan Pratt, a computer scientist at Stanford University, California. "It's basically a powerful little computer and we could have set it up for a number of different uses," he said. "But, because most people think of servers as mysterious boxes, located in dark basements, I thought making it into a web serv
