My biggest Z Fold 6 regrets after a year - and what Samsung must fix for the Fold 7

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2026-02-16 20:00:18

Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's not a hot take to say that Samsung hasn't changed the core design of its Galaxy Z Fold series since day one. While the cover screen has grown over time, the overall candy bar-style form factor has remained mostly untouched. While brands like Honor, Vivo, and Google have released slimmer foldables, Samsung has stuck to steady, incremental upgrades, resulting in a sturdy hinge that holds at almost any angle and polished software for productivity.

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2026-02-16 23:01:42

After years of production delays, Netflix and Skydance are finally poised to release The Old Guard 2, the Charlize Theron-led sequel to the 2020 adaptation of Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández’s Image Comics series. Directed by Victoria Mahoney, the sequel reunites its immortal mercenary found family for another globe-trotting mission. Unfortunately, this time around, their greatest threat isn’t its new immortal big bad and its long-awaited grudge match. It’s the sequel’s narrative inertia that’s

The Hidden Engineering of Liquid Dampers in Skyscrapers

[Note that this article is a transcript of the video embedded above.] There’s a new trend in high-rise building design. Maybe you’ve seen this in your city. The best lots are all taken, so developers are stretching the limits to make use of space that isn’t always ideal for skyscrapers. They’re not necessarily taller than buildings of the past, but they are a lot more slender. “Pencil tower” is the term generally used to describe buildings that have a slenderness ratio of more than around 10 to

The U.S. Space Force Wants Industry Ideas for Space-Based Missile Interceptors

In May, President Donald Trump selected a design for the Golden Dome—a space-based defense system designed to protect the U.S. from foreign missiles. Though some experts consider it a pipe dream, Trump claims he can build it in three years. The United States Space Force is already getting the ball rolling.

Ford EV sales fall 31% while hybrids rise

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2026-02-18 16:22:46

Ford saw a 31% drop in U.S. sales of electric vehicles in the second quarter of 2025, led by a collapse of E-Transit vans and declining popularity of the F-150 Lightning. At the same time, hybrid sales jumped more than 23% compared to last year. Halfway through the year, and the company has sold just 38,988 electric vehicles — down nearly 12% from where Ford’s EV sales stood at the same point in 2024.

Aesop in Words of One Syllable

In the 19th Century, British and American children’s literature evolved from puritanical moral and religious instruction to delightfully imaginative tales meant to awaken a sense of wonder. But morality and imagination could certainly thrive together. Æsop’s Fables in Words of One Syllable is an excellent example of this. The ancient Greek storyteller Aesop may or may not have existed, and he may or may not have written the hundreds of morality tales attributed to him. Yet his stories have been

Some printers cost less than US $1,000, and they can be used to create one-off objects or low-volume production of items. 3D printed objects have one major limitation; it’s not easy to make them “smart.” Adding digital processors and other components remains a challenge, as does ad
