Samsung’s dual-hinge foldable is looking like a beast for productivity in new animations leak

Amazon's Vega OS coming to Fire TVs this year - what it means for your devices

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Amazon reportedly set to launch a proprietary OS for Fire TVs. Various devices would run Linux-based Vega OS instead of Android-based FireOS. The change won't happen immediately and is likely to start with new devices. Amazon Fire TV devices are convenient, but their interface is among the least user-friendly I've tested. While Amazon has worked to improve its FireOS with frequent updates, the co

Ebola outbreak in DR Congo rages, with 61% death rate and funding running dry

An Ebola outbreak in a southwestern province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is escalating quickly, as some health responders say they have less than a tenth of the funding needed to contain the deadly disease. The first case was identified in a 34-year-old pregnant woman on August 20, when she sought care at a local hospital in the Kasai province for fever, bloody vomiting, and hemorrhages. She died on August 25. Officials declared an outbreak on September 4, when the case tally was up

Daylight Savings Time Is So Bad, It’s Messing With Our View of the Cosmos

Tracking gravitational waves—invisible ripples in space-time from intense astronomical events—pushes the limits of what astronomers must do to reduce unwanted noise. Scientists have been getting increasingly better at doing just that, but new research warns that something rather unexpected might be getting in the way: daylight savings time. In a preprint titled “Can LIGO Detect Daylight Savings Time?,” Reed Essick, former LIGO member and now a physicist at the University of Toronto, gives a sim

Trump’s new H-1B policy caused short-term panic — and will cause long-term chaos

Throughout his 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump often claimed that his efforts against immigration were primarily against irregular or illegal immigration, and that he was happy to have people go through “proper channels.” Those assurances got weaker as he moved into his first term, but he still made at least rhetorical overtures to legal immigration — he had to appease a business community that was still skeptical of his then-new political movement. Now, Trump and anti-immigration ideo

Something is seriously wrong with YouTube TV multiview, users say

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR For the past couple of weeks, YouTube TV users have been complaining about bad picture quality when using multiview. Numerous reports indicate that watching a single channel appears fine, but the quality severely degrades when watching two, three, or four channels at once. This is reportedly happening even with fast, wired internet connections and with other streaming apps running fine, suggesting it may be an issue with YouTube TV itself. YouTube TV’s mu

'One Battle After Another' Star Leonardo DiCaprio on Why 'It Feels Like Real People'

One Battle After Another follows the story of Bob Ferguson (Leonardo DiCaprio), an ex-revolutionary who, after many years in exile, is suddenly propelled into a race to save his daughter Willa (Chase Infiniti) and face his destructive past.

Could These Eye Drops End the Need for Reading Glasses?

The Stats don’t lie: after age 65, most people will struggle to focus visually on close-up objects. You might have seen this among your friends and relatives or even experienced it yourself, holding books, magazines, or your phone farther away from your face to try to bring words and pictures into focus. Many of those affected start using reading glasses. But a new treatment could become available: eye drops. This deterioration of vision is called presbyopia. It is not a disease but a natural,

At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, happening October 27–29 at Moscone West in San Francisco, Box CEO and co-founder Aaron Levie takes the Disrupt Stage for a candid conversation on what invention really looks like inside a public company, what AI is changing (and not changing) in enterprise software, and why staying sharp means questioning everything — even your own best ideas.

Meta launches ‘Vibes,’ a short-form video feed of AI slop

In a move no one asked for, Meta is introducing “Vibes,” a new feed in the Meta AI app and on meta.ai for sharing and creating short-form, AI-generated videos. Think TikTok or Instagram Reels, but every single video you come across is essentially AI slop. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the rollout of Vibes in a post on Instagram that features a series of AI-generated videos. In one video, a group of fuzzy-looking creatures hops from one fuzzy cube to another. In another, a cat kneads some d

Researchers Just Found Something Extremely Alarming About AI’s Power Usage

Researchers have found that the carbon footprint of generative AI-based tools that can turn text prompts into images and videos is far worse than we previously thought. As detailed in a new paper, researchers from the open-source AI platform Hugging Face found that the energy demands of text-to-video generators quadruple when the length of a generated video doubles — indicating that the power required for increasingly sophisticated generations doesn’t scale linearly. For instance, a six-second

Amazon Fire TV devices expected to ditch Android for Linux in 2025

After the posting—and apparent editing—of a job opening spotted this week, it's expected that Amazon will bring its homegrown operating system to Fire TV devices this year. Most of Amazon’s Fire-branded devices, which include tablets, currently run some version of Fire OS, which is an Android fork based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). For years, Fire OS’s reliance on AOSP has resulted in Amazon devices coming out with older software, such as 2024’s Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet, which came
