Never mind the Galaxy Z Fold 7, I wish Samsung copied this foldable alternative

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-27 00:10:53

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has just launched, and it’s one of the thinnest foldables yet, while offering a larger folding screen than previous models. As cool as Samsung’s latest Fold is, though, I’ve been spending time with an old alternative to foldable phones, and I’d love Samsung to copy this trick. Yep, I’m talking about LG’s Dual Screen Case. The LG Dual Screen Case was first launched in 2019 for the LG V50, and most subsequent LG flagship phones suppor

Why Lua Beats MicroPython for Serious Embedded Devs In professional embedded projects, ranging from industrial automation to medical devices and commercial IoT products, developers increasingly favor high-level, lightweight, and easy-to-use environments. While MicroPython has earned praise for rapid prototyping and field deployments on microcontrollers, its active ecosystem is largely centered around hobbyist boards.

Microsoft is moving closer to a password-free future, and if you're still using the Authenticator app to manage logins, big changes are coming fast. Starting Aug. 1, the app will no longer support passwords at all. This shift has already been in motion-new password creation was disabled in June, and autofill support was cut off in July. For years, Microsoft Authenticator was a go-to for managing both multi-factor authentication and saved passwords. But now, it's being refocused to support passk

Hill Space: Neural nets that do perfect arithmetic (to 10⁻¹⁶ precision)

news.ycombinator.com Justin Dujardin 2026-01-26 21:37:48

When understood and used properly, the constraint W = tanh(Ŵ) ⊙ σ(M̂) (introduced in NALU by Trask et al. 2018 ) creates a unique parameter topology where optimal weights for discrete operations can be calculated rather than learned . During training, they're able to converge with extreme speed and reliability towards the optimal solution. Most neural networks struggle with basic arithmetic. They approximate, they fail on extrapolation, and they're inconsistent. But what if there was a way to m

Jack Dorsey’s New App Just Hit a Very Embarrassing Snag

Serial entrepreneur Jack Dorsey, who cofounded Twitter, Block, and Bluesky, has started yet another new app — and this one's got an embarrassing secret. As TechCrunch reports, Dorsey's new open source messaging app, Bitchat, is supposed to be decentralized, private, and secure. There's only one problem: the Bluetooth-based app, by the venture's admission, is probably lacking in that key regard.

I Accidentally Learned Just How Durable the Galaxy Z Flip 7 Is

If you're concerned about how durable Samsung's foldable phones can be, I'm here to tell you not to worry. And that's especially true when it comes to the new Galaxy Z Flip 7. After less than six hours with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, I accidentally performed my own informal drop test. At a catered affair in Brooklyn, I walked outside to get a view of the waterfront, and when I pulled the Z Flip 7 out of my pocket, I fumbled it.

The U.S. Is Testing Tiny Nuclear Reactors That Can Go Practically Anywhere

In contrast to other technological advances, the objective for next-generation nuclear reactors seems to be to scale down, not up—an initiative backed by the Department of Energy (DOE). Earlier this month, the DOE announced a conditional agreement made with private firms Westinghouse and Radiant to conduct the first reactor tests at its Demonstration on Microreactor Experiment (DOME) facility, located at Idaho National Laboratory.

Crypto Billionaire Justin Sun Buys Another $100 Million of Trump’s Memecoin

Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron blockchain, announced this week that he had purchased yet another $100 million of Donald Trump’s memecoin, $TRUMP. Sun already owns a substantial amount of the asset. The crypto mogul also announced that the coin would soon be tradable on his blockchain. All of this is complicated by the fact that Sun still appears to be bogged down in a civil fraud case brought against him by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
