In the northern hemisphere, it's hard not to spend the winter in a state of slumbering sloth, just waiting for sunshine and good times to start again. Conveniently, Prime Day fitness tracker deals (all four days of them) drop right in the middle of summer, which makes this a great time to pick up the smartwatch or smart ring that you just didn't have the cash for at Christmas.

Tesla Is in Serious Trouble in China

As its sales continue to crater in the US and Europe, Tesla's reliance on China — its second-largest market and biggest production hub — is growing. But thanks to a surge in far more price-competitive and lucrative offerings from Chinese EV manufacturers like BYD, Tesla's woes look poised to metastasize there as well. Its market share in China is shrinking, the Wall Street Journal reports, which could represent yet another nail in Elon Musk's carmaker's coffin. The company sold 40,000 fewer ca

Samsung’s Z Flip Won’t Be Perfect Until It’s as Thin as the Z Fold 7

Samsung's flip-style foldable phone is so close to perfection. Despite the new look, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a far-too-similar foldable to the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The new clamshell phone has a larger exterior screen that integrates (with a heavy sigh) Google Gemini, but compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Z Flip 7 is still thick enough that it will protrude like a bony crag from any user’s thin pockets. I understand why Samsung places so much emphasis on its expensive flagships, but the fact is th
