Teardown confirms Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a repair nightmare, but maybe that’s the point

TL;DR iFixit gives the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 a pitiful repair score in its latest teardown. Fragile inner components, glued batteries, and a hard-to-replace screen make DIY fixes tough. It could be that the same design choices may help the phone survive extreme durability tests. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 impressed last week in JerryRigEverything’s notorious bend test, which is just as well.

Germany's identity crisis: The trains no longer run on time

BERLIN — Germany: the land of beer, sausage and trains that run on time. Actually, make that the land where 56 percent of trains run on time. More precisely (or imprecisely, depending on how much of a rush you are in), the land where 56 percent of trains arrive within six minutes of the scheduled time — which is the cushion Deutsche Bahn, the national railroad company, allows itself for an “on-time” arrival.
