This Galaxy Z Fold 7 model offers a much longer warranty

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Enterprise Edition in Europe. The phone comes with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty instead of the standard two-year warranty. The device is otherwise identical to the standard Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last month, and it offers a more durable folding screen than previous models. What if you want peace of mind regarding any issues, though?

A YouTuber Is Folding and Unfolding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 Times

Folding phones are no longer a fad. But they have moving parts that regular smartphones lack, and the constant folding and unfolding could eventually lead to failure. For the last few days, the host of Korean YouTube channel Tech-it has been folding and unfolding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 over and over and over, with the goal of doing 200,000 folds. The fold-a-thon is presumably meant to see how the redesigned hinge and flexible display hold up on Samsung's thinnest foldable yet. Tech-it's h

The Galaxy S26 Edge battery rumors just got even more promising

TL;DR A new leak suggests the Galaxy S26 Edge will have a 4,400mAh battery. That’s noticeably up from 3,900mAh in the S25 Edge and slightly more than a previous 4,200mAh claim. Both leaks point to Samsung addressing one of the biggest complaints about the S25 Edge. The Galaxy S25 Edge was one of Samsung’s most criticized flagships of recent years, and much of that frustration rightly centered on battery life. Now, we have a second clue that Samsung may address that with a beefier battery for

Dental Floss Could Deliver Next-Gen Vaccines, No Needles Required

Flu shot season is around the corner, and while injections remain the most common form of vaccination, scientists are working hard to find other ways to deliver inoculations that don’t involve shoving a needle into your flesh. And in a new study, researchers think they might have found another novel approach: dental floss. In the new work, a team of scientists based in the U.S. demonstrated how this might work on lab mice, finding that vaccine delivery via dental floss was more effective at sti

Scientists are growing tumors in space to study how to personalize cancer treatment

Forward-looking: Although precision medicine has advanced rapidly in recent years, many cancer patients still undergo standard treatments that may not work for everyone. Research underway on the International Space Station offers a glimpse of future care, where doctors map out each course of therapy using a detailed simulation of the patient's cancer. In a laboratory more than 249 miles above Earth, a new generation of cancer research is unfolding. A biotech startup is harnessing the microgravi

Yes, you need a firewall on Linux - here's why and which to use

JuSun/Getty ZDNET's key takeaways Linux is highly secure, but you should still have a firewall. You should know if your ISP's hardware (gateway) uses a firewall. One of the easiest Linux firewalls is UFW and its GUI sidekick, GUFW. I've been using Linux for nearly 30 years. Over those years, I've experienced only one security issue (a rootkit on a server I inherited). The reason for that is Linux's heightened security. Out of the box, it includes a tight permissions system and security mech

Every Visual Workflow Tool Is Just Excel for Developers Who Gave Up

Samsung unveils the Odyssey G75F: a 37-inch 4K VA monitor for around $1,000

What just happened? There are so many similarly specced monitors these days that we rarely see "world firsts" anymore. However, Samsung is claiming that title with yet another new Odyssey, which it says is the first-ever 37-inch 4K display. The Odyssey G7 G75F joins Samsung's increasingly long list of Odyssey monitors, but it's the first monitor ever to combine a 37-inch panel with a 4K (3840x2160) resolution, according to the company. It's rare to see a 37-inch monitor – 32 inches tends to be

7 Red Flags When Choosing Cheap PC Components

With rising graphics card prices, you may want to save on other components when building a gaming PC. If you've read our CPU reviews, which compare current processors using high-quality motherboards, memory and PSUs, you may come to the conclusion that only the graphics card matters when playing at appropriate resolutions, and that the best-value PC is one built with the cheapest modern components elsewhere.

Galaxy S26 could get a hardware upgrade for much easier payments

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is apparently thinking about adding an additional NFC antenna to the top of the Galaxy S26 series. This should make it more convenient to use tap-to-pay, as you can do so via the rear or top of the phone. The Galaxy S26 rumors are trickling in at a steady pace, even though the expected launch window is roughly six months away. The latest leak has revealed that Samsung could significantly improve NFC payments like Samsung Pay or Google Wallet.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 survives JerryRigEverything’s bend test, but it’s not all good

TL;DR YouTube channel JerryRigEverything has put the Galaxy Z Flip 7 through its durability test. Samsung’s phone survived a bend test with the screen intact, and it also fared better than expected in sand and dust. Unfortunately, the Flip 7’s inner screen is easily scratched, which is in line with other foldable phones. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 was recently put through YouTube channel JerryRigEverything’s durability test and fared better than expected. Now, it’s the Galaxy Z Flip 7‘s turn

Microsoft’s unreleased Surface Duo foldable with Windows is on sale, but good luck trying to buy it

David Imel / Android Authority TL;DR An unreleased prototype of Microsoft’s dual-screen foldable phone, Surface Duo, was recently found listed online for sale. While Surface Duo ran on Android, the leaked prototype runs an unreleased version of the Windows Phone interface. Microsoft envisoned this as an intermediate between a regular phone and a Windows PC, but never realized due to the decline in Windows Phone’s popularity. Microsoft persistently dabbled with mobile phones for almost the en

Samsung could finally catch up to other Android OEMs with this navigation choice

Joe Hindy / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung could soon let you choose swipe navigation as the default while setting up a new phone. Samsung is testing a choice screen that will allow choosing between three-button navigation and swipe navigation gestures during setup. The feature is only being tested and could be introduced with One UI 8.5 on the Galaxy S26. Despite being a leading innovator in the mobile space, Samsung can sometimes resist change, especially when the mandate originates from

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR A truck carrying 12,000 Galaxy phones, including 5,000 Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 models, was stolen in London. The shipment was apparently worth almost $10 million, but it was insured. This also comes a few days after Samsung confirmed that its new phones broke pre-order records for Galaxy foldables.

The Subway Game (1980)

The Subway Game Copyright © 1980, Peter R. Samson (to home page) The Subway Game was a diversion that developed out of the frequent visits to New York by myself and various friends at M.I.T. In its basic form it requires two participants: an innocent victim, called the Contestant; and a more knowledgeable companion, called the Monitor. With some allowances, the game can be viewed as a simulation of the following scenario. A stranger to New York is going to visit some friends there. He gets a

Alarming New System Can Identify People Through Walls Using Wi-Fi Signal

Once upon a time, in their startling report titled "Bigger Monsters, Weaker Chains," ACLU analysts Jay Stanley and Barry Steinhardt argued that the US was quickly becoming a full-blown "surveillance society," where advanced technology and crumbling regulation come together to create the kind of world that was previously the domain of dystopian science fiction. "The fact is, there are no longer any technical barriers to the Big Brother regime portrayed by George Orwell," they wrote. That was in

Show HN: My Bytecode Optimizer Beats Copilot by 2X

Even amid the AGI race, a specialized tool really outperforms general‑purpose models. And even when this specialized tool is a side-project and at a very early stage. I am building as a side-project a tool called SuperVM. It optimizes bytecode and machine code similarly to how a LLM would do but instead of using statistical systems, it uses deterministic systems and reasons from facts instead of probabilities (nothing new here these things have been around forever). All the generated code is

How I do support and community

I could see myself running a hotel. A little world where the architecture is otherworldly. And of course, the service is impeccable – because nothing matters more in any business than how customers are treated. (source) I collected this photo as inspiration ~14 years ago. Feels good to finally use it. But while it’s normal for one night in a hotel to cost ~$300, most people expect the price of a month of using pro-grade software – some of which cost millions of dollars to produce and maintain
