23 years ago I was in a bad place. I'd quit my first attempt at a PhD for various reasons that were, with hindsight, bad, and I was suddenly entirely aimless. I lucked into picking up a sysadmin role back at TCM where I'd spent a summer a year before, but that's not really what I wanted in my life. And then Hanna mentioned that her PhD supervisor was looking for someone familiar with Linux to work on making Dasher , one of the group's research projects, more usable on Linux.

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority It’s been just under six years since the first Galaxy Fold launched, and in the time since then, foldable phones have become among the most interesting in the Android world. I’ve personally tested and reviewed many of them, including models from Samsung, Google, OnePlus, and others. But as much as I appreciate what foldables offer, and as someone who’s been reviewing phones for 10 years, I’ve yet to actually purchase one for myself. Why? One of the main things t

As a child of the '90s few things get my nerd brain tingling like good ol' Super Mario. Even hearing my best friend's Mario-themed phone notifications take me back to a simpler time. So it's no surprise that I completely nerded out when I saw 8BitDo's Retro Mechanical Keyboard decked out in Mario colors. A solid mechanical keyboard with a heavy dose of nostalgia? Count me in.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE leak points to thinner bezels

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-11 20:28:56

TL;DR A new leak may give us our first look at the Galaxy S25 FE. The device is said to feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Samsung just launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, and it’s probably the most polarizing Galaxy phone in years. The new phone brings an impressively thin and light design along with a 6.7-inch display. It also has the S25 Ultra’s 200MP main camera. Unfortunately, this thin and light phone comes with several compromises, such as no telephoto camera and 25W wired charging power.
