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

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-17 04:00:06

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. I watched helplessly as Samsung's newest foldable phone fell to the groun

As detailed in a new study presented at the Goldschmidt international geochemistry conference this week and due to be peer-reviewed later this year, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison analyzed six volcanoes in southern Chile to study how retreating ice sheets may have influenced past volcanic behavior.

Hertz Deploys AI Scanner That's Charging Hundreds of Dollars for Tiny Scratches on Rental Cars

Car rental giant Hertz is facing some blowback as customers report that its "AI-powered" vehicle scanner charges them hundreds of dollars for tiny cosmetic dings. Earlier this summer, a Hertz customer in Atlanta was charged a jaw-dropping $440 for an inch-long bit of curb rash — a cosmetic scuff — on the wheel of his rental, as our sister site The Drive first reported. Out of that, $190 was earmarked for "processing" and "administrative" fees, which were automatically calculated by the rental c

Cops say criminals use a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS — I say that’s freedom

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority Police in Spain have reportedly started profiling people based on their phones; specifically, and surprisingly, those carrying Google Pixel devices. Law enforcement officials in Catalonia say they associate Pixels with crime because drug traffickers are increasingly turning to these phones. But it’s not Google’s secure Titan M2 chip that has criminals favoring the Pixel — instead, it’s GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused alternative to the default Pixel OS. As som

Stone–Wales Transformations

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-17 06:07:12

Buckminsterfullerene is a molecule shaped like a soccer ball, made of 60 carbon atoms. If one of the bonds between two hexagons rotates, we get a weird mutant version of this molecule: This is an example of a Stone-Wales transformation: a 90° rotation in a so-called ‘π bond’ between carbon atoms. Here’s how it works in graphene: Graphene is a sheet of carbon molecules arranged in hexagons. When they undergo a Stone–Wales transformation, we get a Stone–Wales defect with two pentagons and two he

The Fourth Wave: How Speedballing Is Creating a New Kind of Drug Crisis

gizmodo.com Andrew Yockey 2025-09-17 06:00:30

Speedballing—the practice of combining a stimulant like cocaine or methamphetamine with an opioid such as heroin or fentanyl—has evolved from a niche subculture to a widespread public health crisis. The practice stems from the early 1900s, when World War I soldiers were often treated with a combination of cocaine and morphine. Once associated with high-profile figures like John Belushi, River Phoenix and Chris Farley, this dangerous polysubstance use has become a leading cause of overdose death
