10 Best Electrolyte Powders (2025): Tasty and Effective

TL;DR Don't choose something with ultra-high amounts of sodium, carbohydrates, or sugar unless you need to based on your exercise levels or a sweat test. Amy Brownstein, a registered dietitian nutritionist at MyNetDiary, says electrolytes are minerals that exist naturally in your body. These include magnesium, calcium, chloride, sodium, potassium, and phosphorous. Electrolyte powders usually contain these, as well as sugars and carbohydrates which can help a little bit with the absorption of th

Did you know your Samsung phone has a secret Wi-Fi menu? Here’s how to enable it

Joe Maring / Android Authority If you have a Samsung phone, there’s a good chance you chose it over competing Android handsets because of the sheer number of settings Samsung lets you play with. Whether it’s having a half-dozen ways to take a screenshot or creating a powerful automation system with Samsung Routines, there’s no shortage of ways to get the most out of a Samsung Galaxy phone. While Samsung makes some of these things readily available and easy to find, other software features are

This ultra-rugged MagSafe wallet solves my biggest issue with FaceTime

ZDNET's key takeaways The Supcase MagFlip is a magnetic wallet and stand combo for $42. It holds up to five cards, features RFID protection, and can be adjusted into several viewing configurations. While a rugged option, the cards can be difficult to access, and it's rather bulky. View now at Amazon View now at Supcase more buying choices I'm a MagSafe fan.

Galaxy S26 Ultra, S26 Edge spotted: Is the ‘Plus’ model really going away?

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and Galaxy S26 Edge have appeared in the IMEI database. The early listing of the Galaxy S26 Edge suggests a January launch for the phone. It also adds weight to rumors that Samsung may drop the Plus variant from next year’s flagship lineup. The first official signs of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series have emerged, with the Galaxy S26 Edge and S26 Ultra appearing in the IMEI database. The listings, uncovered by SammyPolice, are an

Samsung just leaked its own Galaxy Z Flip 7, Z Fold 7 colors, including exclusive shade

Evan Blass TL;DR Samsung has accidentally published staging sites for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7. The listings are filled with placeholder information, but they seemingly confirm colors and storage options. Samsung will apparently offer Green Mint as the online-exclusive color. Samsung is gearing up to launch its new Galaxy foldable phones next month, and we’ve seen a steady stream of leaks already. However, it looks like the company may have inadvertently posted information abo

I changed 7 Samsung phone settings to instantly improve the battery life

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are some of the best Android phones available today, thanks to their responsive and feature-rich software. But most Samsung phones -- especially the flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 -- come with over-the-top features that you might not use daily. If your new Galaxy phone isn't lasting an entire day on a single charge, there are ways to make the most of what you have without hindering the user experience. Also: The

Tell HN: Meta developer account suspended

Hi all, my Meta developer account was suddenly restricted without warning, and there’s no way to appeal or reach support. I believe this may have been triggered by a location (read, IP address) change: I’m a student-entrepreneur who recently moved from China to Kenya for school holidays. I’m building a WhatsApp-based accounting tool for African small businesses, and this restriction is blocking critical operations. I’ve come across others facing the same issue, with no review option or clear re

Samsung Teases ‘Ultra’ Foldable for Unpacked Event Next Month

Is it already time for another Samsung Unpacked event? You bet your ass it is. Samsung has announced it’ll be hosting an event next month on July 9 for what’ll presumably be its latest Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold foldable Android phones. Unlike previous years, when Samsung announced new foldable phones in Paris and Seoul, this go-around will be in Brooklyn, New York (my hometown!) starting at 10:00 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT. Gizmodo will be at the event live, but there will also be a live stream on Sams

Why Ancient Egypt Smashed Hatshepsut’s Statues After Her Death

Hatshepsut is one of the most famous figures in ancient Egypt. In 1479 BCE, she took on the role of regent on behalf of her young nephew Thutmose III. By 1473, she began ruling as a pharaoh in her own right, becoming one of the civilization’s exceptionally rare female sovereigns. Over three thousand years later, when archaeologists excavated thousands of fragments of her statues, scholars widely assumed that her spiteful successor had ordered the total destruction of her images. New research, ho

Samsung's New Galaxy Foldables Will Be Announced at July 9 Unpacked Event

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

The goal of this collaboration is to help everyday people like me understand how food and general eating habit

I ported pigz from Unix to Windows

I just finished porting pigz from Unix to Windows (you can download pre-compiled binaries ). This article describes how I did it. Pigz was clearly written with Unix in mind, with no thought given to cross-platform portability. Thankfully, it’s a relatively simple, command-line program that sticks to using standard C library. Porting pthreads Pigz uses pthreads for threading. Porting pthreads code to Windows would be a nightmare. Lucky me: someone already did all the hard work and implemented

Judge Says Requiring ChatGPT to Save Chat Logs Is Not a ‘Mass Surveillance Program’

OpenAI and some of its users have objected to a court order that requires the company to indefinitely maintain all of ChatGPT’s chat logs as part of an ongoing copyright lawsuit, claiming that holding onto such records amounts to a “nationwide mass surveillance program.” The court was not moved. Judge Ona Wang, who initially issued the order to retain all data from the popular chatbot, rejected multiple requests to overturn the decision—though OpenAI has vowed to continue to fight the order, acc

China's first gaming GPU, the Lisuan G100, performs like a 13-year-old Nvidia GTX 660 Ti

Facepalm: China recently unveiled its first gaming GPU, the Lisuan G100. Built on a 6nm process, the card was touted as a potential rival to Nvidia's RTX 4060. However, a recent Geekbench listing suggests its performance is closer to that of the 13-year-old GeForce GTX 660 Ti or the 10-year-old Radeon R9 370. The listing also appears to reveal shockingly anemic specifications, including just 32 Compute Units, 256 MB of VRAM, and a 300 MHz GPU clock. Overall, the card managed a score of only 15,

Super Micro shares fall on planned $2 billion convertible debt offering

Super Micro Computer shares fell about 6% on Monday after the server maker said it plans to offer $2 billion in convertible notes, maturing in 2030. A company's stock often falls on the announcement of a convertible offering because the eventual conversion to equity could dilute existing shareholders' stakes. Super Micro, which has seen its business boom due to soaring demand for Nvidia's artificial intelligence processors, said in a press release that it plans to use the proceeds from the off

NASA's Voyager Found a 30k-50k Kelvin "Wall" at the Edge of Solar System

In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager probes to study the Solar System's edge, and the interstellar medium between the stars. One by one, they both hit the "wall of fire" at the boundaries of our home system, measuring temperatures of 30,000-50,000 kelvin (54,000-90,000 degrees Fahrenheit) on their passage through it. There are a few ways you could define the edge of the Solar System – for instance, where the planets end, or at the Oort cloud, the boundary of the Sun's gravitational influence wher
