I tested Samsung's flagship QLED TV for a week and didn't miss the OLED model at all

Samsung QN90F TV ZDNET's key takeaways The QN90F TV has excellent picture and sound. It's great for streaming and entertainment, with useful display settings and features in tow.

Indoor surfaces act as sponges for harmful chemicals

Scientists injected volatile organic compounds into a test house and found large reservoirs for the potentially hazardous chemicals in porous surfaces such as wood, cement and paint. VOCs contained in insecticides, cigarette smoke and wildfire smoke can remain on indoor surfaces for as long as one year. Irvine, Calif., Sept. 22, 2025 — Indoor surfaces have an unexpectedly strong ability to absorb and hold harmful chemical compounds that can threaten human health for as long as a year, accordin

5 Worst Foods to Cook Using Teflon, According to an Instructor of Health-Centered Cooking

Nonstick cookware is great for some things, but treating it like a Swiss Army knife for cooking is a recipe for disaster. Nonstick pans have issues with proper browning and searing. Ask it to give your steak a crust, and it'll respond with something sad and gray. And here's the kicker: Some foods are nonstick coating assassins. They'll chip away at that slippery surface faster than you can say "not under warranty," leaving you with chemical flakes in your scrambled eggs or stir-fry. Sure, we a

Rungis: The Market and the City – A day at Europe's largest fresh food market

The international market of Rungis, the largest fresh food market in Europe, is located close to Orly airport, south of Paris — about an hour’s drive from the city centre during the day, but just 20 minutes in the dead of night when those who feed Paris are already awake and hard at work. On your way there you will notice that nearly all early-morning encounters are connected to food: bakeries are lit up, with the smell of fresh bread already floating in the air, while supermarket employees wait

The Trump Admin Is Suing Amazon for Tricking People Into Prime Subscriptions. Here’s How That Might Affect You

The Federal Trade Commission is taking Amazon to court this week over the tech giant’s moneymaker Prime subscription program. In a trial set to last for the next month, FTC is claiming that Amazon tricked millions of customers into signing up for a Prime membership and then made it very tough to cancel said subscription. “Millions of consumers accidentally enrolled in Prime without knowledge or consent, but Amazon refused to fix this known problem, described internally by employees as an ‘unsp

One UI 8.5 teases the return of this sorely missed Samsung Weather feature

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung removed pollen tracking from its Weather app a little while ago, but it’s back in the leaked One UI 8.5 build we tested. This build shows tree, grass, and ragweed pollen levels on color-coded leaf icons, linking to Weather.com for details. The same version also refreshes the Weather app’s navigation buttons, borrowing design cues from iOS. Samsung Weather gives you most of the staples you expect from that type of app, like temperature, UV index,

Show HN: Python Audio Transcription: Convert Speech to Text Locally

Last week, I faced a dilemma that many researchers, journalists, and content creators know all too well: I had hours of recordings that needed to be transcribed. I had serious privacy concerns about uploading sensitive content to commercial transcription services and their third-party servers. Instead of risking it, I built a Python-based transcription system using OpenAI’s Whisper model. The result? All my audio files were transcribed in under 10 minutes with 96% accuracy—completely free and p

For the first time ever, Visible now has a physical retail presence

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Verizon’s Visible brand is expanding with limited in-store availability through Best Buy.

As T-Mobile announces a new CEO and its commitment to a digital-first experience (meaning more focus online and less in-store), Verizon’s dig

MagSafe Monday: SUPCASE MagSafe Wallet with AirTag Holder review and hands on

MagSafe wallets usually lean toward being slim, but SUPCASE continues to go the other direction with function over form. The SUPCASE MagSafe Wallet with AirTag Holder is thicker than most MagSafe wallets, but in exchange you get more storage, AirTag support, and a built-in stand. Some of my favorite gear Abode Home Security System Abode is the best home security system and includes compatibility with HomeKit. MagSafe Monday: Every Monday, Bradley Chambers looks at the latest and greatest in th

Samsung is preparing to say goodbye to Microsoft for your photo backups (APK teardown)

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung will stop using OneDrive as a cloud backup option in the Gallery app. Instead, the company will use its own cloud solution to back up your data. There’s no date yet for when OneDrive support will end. If you have syncing enabled in the Samsung Gallery app, then your photos will automatically be backed up to the cloud. Not only does this allow you to access your photos from other devices, but it’s also nice knowing you won’t lose your precious mome

5 Android phones you should buy instead of the Galaxy S25 FE

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Between its flagship Galaxy S25 lineup and its latest Fold and Flip entries, Samsung has had a pretty busy 2025. But there’s another Samsung phone that may have flown under your radar: the Galaxy S25 FE.

WIRED’s Politics Issue Cover Is Coming to a City Near You

Here at WIRED, we tend to stick to journalism. We talk about our work to anyone who will listen—during podcasts, on social media, over dinner with our politely listening friends—but we tend to confine our bragging to the scoops we get, the stories we write.

Samsung’s Color E-Paper display looks so good in this video, fans want it on a phone

TL;DR Samsung has posted a new video showcasing its Color E-Paper display, and fans want to see it on Galaxy-branded e-readers, tablets, and phones.

A Cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover Is Causing a Supply Chain Disaster

For almost three weeks, the production lines at global car giant Jaguar Land Rover have stood still. Usually busy turning out an estimated 1,000 vehicles per day, staff at multiple JLR factories across Britain have been told to stay at home as the automotive firm responds to a damaging cyberattack. But as its recovery has stretched from days to weeks, the knock-on impacts are being felt at the hundreds of companies that supply JLR with parts and materials and risk turning the attack into a full-

Apple Silicon GPU Support in Mojo

The latest nightly releases of Mojo (and our next stable release) include initial support for a new accelerator architecture: Apple Silicon GPUs! We know that one of the biggest barriers to programming GPUs is access to hardware. It’s our hope that by making it possible to use Mojo to develop for a GPU present in every modern Mac, we can further democratize developing GPU-accelerated algorithms and AI models. This should also enable new paths of local-to-cloud development for AI models and more

7 things I miss about Samsung since switching to a Pixel

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority I’ve used a lot of Nexus and Pixels in the past, but from 2019 until present, I’ve been a Samsung guy, owning the S10 Plus and every Ultra model from the S20 to the S24 series. A few months ago, I started thinking about switching to a Pixel for the first time since the Pixel 3 XL. After the Pixel 10 launched, I pulled the trigger and bought a 10 Pro.

With ‘Super Mario Galaxy,’ the Switch 2 Feels More Like the Wii Than Ever

Remember Super Mario Galaxy (not the upcoming movie)? You better. It’s one of those games that came out for Nintendo’s oddest console, the Wii, built for the system with a controller shaped like a TV remote. It was more than innovative for the time. No other game has managed to replicate Galaxy’s complicated gravity simulation. Every jump and leap sends Mario orbiting around a planetoid, the camera barely able to keep up. It’s as magnificent now on the Switch 2 with a big 4K television as it was

James Gunn Wants ‘Man of Tomorrow’ to Show Lex Luthor’s Layers

While the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow isn’t out until 2027, that hasn’t stopped director/writer James Gunn from vaguely teasing some plans, particulary as they relate to Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor. In a recent interview with The Ringer-Verse, Gunn was asked about his approach to Lex for Tomorrow and the DC universe overall. Gunn is aiming to “get into the heart of Lex” and explore more of his human side. By his own admission, Lex was a bastard in that first movie (even before he killed Sup
