Samsung confirms Unpacked for early July

is a reviewer with 10 years of experience writing about consumer tech. She has a special interest in mobile photography and telecom. Previously, she worked at DPReview. Samsung’s summer Unpacked is officially on, starting at 10AM ET on Wednesday, July 9th. The invitation features a jazzy little bop and the words “Ultra Unfolds,” so I think it’s safe to assume we’re getting that foldable Ultra phone the company previously hinted at. The event is set to take place in Brooklyn, but you can watch

Samsung's Cheaper Galaxy Flip 7 FE Foldable Phone Shows Up in New Leak

New renders of the rumored Galaxy Z Flip7 FE phone, a cheaper alternative to last year's Z Flip 6, have hit the internet via notable leaker Evan Blass. The images were shared Monday on smartphone news site Phone Arena.

New All-Time Low Price for This 15.6-inch FHD Portable Monitor, No Need to Wait for Prime Day

A single screen can be too confining, especially when you need to multitask. Since carrying around a full-sized desktop monitor to take with them is not practical, portable monitors have become a handy alternative. The MNN portable monitor is unique in its extremely thin frame so it easily goes into any backpack and carry it with them to travel. Currently, Amazon is offering this 15.6-inch FHD portable monitor at an all-time low price of $61, down from its usual price of $90. This 31% discount

With 1.2.2 update, Civilization VII tries to win back traditionalists

It has been just over 130 days since Civilization VII launched to mostly positive reviews—but quite a bit of disappointment for series traditionalists. At first, developer Firaxis was releasing primarily bug, balance, and UI fixes, but today saw the release of version 1.2.2—possibly the biggest yet in terms of adding features to the game. Available for all platforms except Switch and Switch 2—which will get it later—the update adds several tweaks that allow the game's players to customize games

Scientists Are Sending Cannabis Seeds to Space

Having dedicated much of his working life to studying the cannabis plant, Radišič believes it is uniquely qualified for space agriculture. It grows fast, adapts well, and has been an agricultural crop for thousands of years. According to Radišič, if at some point we want to grow life on Mars, this makes it an ideal candidate. “Sooner or later, we will have lunar bases, and cannabis, with its versatility, is the ideal plant to supply those projects,” he tells WIRED. “It can be a source of food, p

Databricks, Perplexity co-founder pledges $100M on new fund for AI researchers

Andy Konwinski, computer scientist and co-founder of Databricks and Perpelexity, announced on Monday that his personal company, Laude, is forming a new AI research institute backed with a $100 million pledge of his own money. Laude Institute is less an AI research lab and more like a fund looking to make investments structured similar to grants. In addition to Konwinski, the institute’s board includes UC Berkeley professor Dave Patterson (known for a string of award-winning research), Jeff Dean

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be one of the first foldables with an IP68 rating

TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is said to sport a smaller hinge. The outer display may be bigger than last year, despite the device being roughly the same size. Google’s foldable could have an IP68 rating. As other brands race to make the thinnest foldable on the market, there haven’t really been any hints that Google is chasing after the same goal. Even if Google may not be interested in claiming the title of world’s thinnest, it seems we can still expect the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to be a bit slimm

If you need a tablet data plan, these two Verizon Value brands are your best bet

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR If you’re looking for unlimited tablet data, Straight Talk and Total Wireless may be your very best option. Plans are just $10 to $20 a month for those with an existing phone plan from either provider. You’ll get truly unlimited data, though it will see deprioritization during periods of congestion. While all three major US wireless providers offer optional tablet plans for both prepaid and postpaid customers, official tablet support is actually much

Ask HN: How to Get Rid of Gemini?

After the google+ fiasco I thought Google had learned their lesson about ramming new products down people's throats whether they like them or not, but with Gemini it seems like this lesson has been forgotten. I usually am a pretty happy user of Google's products but they have really ruined the experience for me (and on top of that they are charging extra for the privilege of ruining the experience). Is there a way to completely and permanently get rid of Gemini in such a way that my normal work

Blink Security Bundle Is 50% Off for Early Prime Day, Includes 7 Cameras and Storage With a MicroSD Card

It’s never been easier or more affordable to keep an eye on your home, both inside and out. Whether you’re heading out of town or just want extra peace of mind while you’re at work, a dependable security camera system can make a world of difference. The problem is, most setups either cost too much up front or require subscriptions to get all the features. And if you’re already paying for the equipment, there’s no way you want to spend more money on a subscription every month, too. Luckily, there

Why I prefer this Lenovo tablet over the iPad for multimedia consumption (and it's on sale)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Lenovo Tab Plus retails for $330, but is frequently on sale. Contrary to its small size, the model houses a booming eight-speaker system and a long-lasting battery. The MediaTek Helio chipset and dim display won't be winning any awards.

This upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 rival is thinner than a pack of gum

TL;DR HONOR has revealed that its upcoming Magic V5 foldable phone will be just 8.8mm thick when folded. That means the new foldable is thinner than a pack of chewing gum or a CD case. The Magic V5 is scheduled to launch in China on July 2. Samsung is gearing up to launch a Galaxy Z Fold 7 that looks significantly thinner than previous models. However, rival brand HONOR says its upcoming Magic V5 will be the thinnest book-style foldable phone on the market. Now, the company has dished out spe

The stablecoin evangelist: Katie Haun’s fight for digital dollars

In 2018, when Bitcoin was trading around $4,000 and most Americans, at least, thought cryptocurrency was a fad, Katie Haun found herself on a debate stage in Mexico City opposite Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist who had dismissed digital assets as near worthless. As Krugman focused on Bitcoin’s wild price swings, Haun steered the conversation toward something else — stablecoins. “Stablecoins are really interesting and really important to this ecosystem to hedge against that volat
