These $80 Windows XP Crocs just made me desperate for Android footwear

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. According to iFixit, if anything does go wrong, actually repairing the device is a different kind o

Under the Hood of AFD.sys Part 1: Investigating Undocumented Interfaces

A quick look at how I used WinDbg and NtCreateFile to craft a raw TCP socket via AFD.sys on Windows 11, completely skipping Winsock. Under the Hood of AFD.sys Part 1: Investigating Undocumented Interfaces Introduction This is the first post in a series about my deep-dive into the AFD.sys driver on Windows 11. The idea is that both this write-up and the library that comes out of it will be a one-stop doc set - and a launchpad - for poking at other drivers that don’t ship with an official spec.

Hands-on: BMX SolidSafe Solid-State Battery Pack [Video]

Recently there have been over 1.7 million mobile power banks recalled. The reason? Most power banks still use lithium-ion cells filled with flammable liquid electrolytes that present a real risk. Drop it, leave it in heat, or overcharge it, puncture it – and it can swell, and even ignite causing fire. How do powebank makers address this problem? BMX is launching its SolidSafe mobile power bank on Kickstarter with a solid core that significantly reduces the amount of flammable liquid inside the

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to launch on August 20, but it might not go on sale till October 9. It will be difficult for Google to beat Samsung in the foldable segment this year due to design differences.
