Everyone’s in awe of ‘tri-fold’ phones, and now projectors are all ‘yeah, us, too’

Stephen Schenck / Android Authority TL;DR The Aurzen ZIP projector has a Z-shaped folding design that collapses to just one inch thick. A 5,000 mAh battery delivers 90 minutes of operation on a charge. In addition to the folding design letting you easily direct the ZIP’s output, you can turn it on its side for screen-mirroring portrait mode. Listen, foldables are cool — who doesn’t love big things that transform into smaller things — but they’re also becoming a little been-there-done-that as

I tried smart glasses with a built-in display, and they made my Meta Ray-Bans feel outdated

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways The Rokid Glasses are launching through Kickstarter, with a retail price of $599. They feature built-in displays that project textual information, such as a teleprompter, AI responses, and more. The 12MP camera sensor leaves something to be desired, and a stable internet connection is required for most functions to work. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's quote about b

SQL Needed Structure

Published 2025-09-04 Here are two pages from the internet movie database: There are two things to note about these pages. The data on the page is presented in a hierarchichal structure. The movie page contains a director, a list of genres, a list of actors, and each actor in the list contains a list of characters they played in the movie. You can't sensibly fit all of this into a single flat structure like a relation. The order of the hierarchy isn't the same on both pages. On one page we hav

How I Fix AI Image Hallucinations While Using ChatGPT, Midjourney and More

I'm CNET's AI image and video generator reviewer, and one of the best parts of my job is laughing at the truly terrible, deeply flawed, occasionally frightening AI images that pop out while I review different AI image generators. Don't get me wrong, AI creative software has come a long way in a short amount of time.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra $300 off, but only in these two colors

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Samsung’s most exciting phones right now include foldables, flip phones, and a super-thin phone. These are cool, but if you want true performance and an overall premium experience, you can’t beat the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. We would argue it is still Samsung’s best phone, and you can often catch better deals on it. It’s currently as cheap as $999.99, which is a $300 discount.

Yes, the Screen on This Lenovo Laptop Really Flips From Horizontal to Vertical

Walking into a Lenovo showroom can sometimes feel like I accidentally stepped into a taping of the 1990s sitcom Family Matters. I’m there to see the standard, Carl Winslow-level laptops, the tried and true dependable designs. Then steps in Steve Urkel. Behind his technicolor suspenders, he’s holding a giant metal monstrosity he’s calling a head-tracking laptop stand along with a notebook that flips from landscape to portrait. “Did I do that?” the Urkel side of Lenovo says, snickering from the co

I ditched Spotify and set up my own music stack

For years, I relied on Spotify like millions of others. The convenience was undeniable stream anything, anywhere, discover new music through algorithms, and share playlists with friends. But over time, several issues became impossible to ignore: artists getting paid fractions of pennies per stream, fake Artists and ghost Tracks, AI music and impersonation, creepy age verification complicity and the fact that despite paying monthly, I never actually owned anything. So I decided to take back contr

These Are the Catchiest Songs of All Time, According to AI

Catchy songs have been around as long as there's been music, but what makes a song stick in our minds is still a mystery. I recently chaperoned the all-night graduation party at my daughter's high school. After hanging out at an all-games-and-rides-free arcade until 2 a.m., we took the graduates on chartered buses to a private all-ages nightclub in downtown Seattle. It boasted free unlimited fountain soda and snacks, a photo booth with props, a trivia contest, glow necklaces and, best of all, a

3 Sports Documentaries You Absolutely Should Watch Right Now

There was a time in 2012 when NBA fans from all over were stricken with Linsanity. Jeremy Lin was a benchwarmer for the New York Knicks for much of that season, until he helped the team lock down a seven-game winning streak when he replaced a sidelined Carmelo Anthony in February of that year. Lin's popularity exploded, and though he was traded in the following offseason, his dazzling performance cemented a lasting legacy. Lin left the NBA in 2019 to play internationally, and he just announced

It seems safe to expect a fair bit of camp in a Street Fighter project, and that bears out in some of the castin

Rocketships and Slingshots
