DJI’s first 360-degree camera can continuously capture 8K footage for over 100 minutes

is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. DJI has announced the company’s first 360-degree action camera designed to compete with the Insta360 X5 and the aging GoPro Max (which the company is planning to replace soon). The new DJI Osmo 360 slightly edges out the X5’s recording capabilities by capturing 8K videos at 50fps instead of 30fps, and features a design that’s both smaller and nea

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X and 9970X Review

AMD's latest Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series arrives with a familiar formula: massive core counts, eye-watering specs, and price tags to match. Built on the Zen 5 microarchitecture, these chips pack up to 64 cores and 128 threads, along with 80 lanes of PCIe 5.0 connectivity. As with previous generations, the lineup is split in two: a high-end desktop (HEDT) range, simply called Threadripper 9000, and a workstation-class series known as Threadripper Pro 9000WX. Our focus here is on the HEDT chi

If Samsung gets it right, the Galaxy S26 Pro could be a game-changer for small phone fans

Yesterday, Android Authority published an exclusive report detailing what Samsung’s Galaxy S26 lineup could look like next year. And based on what we know, Samsung could be releasing one of the biggest Galaxy S shakeups we’ve ever seen. Traditionally, we expect Samsung to release three phones: a base model, a Plus variant, and its flagship Ultra — as you see with the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, with the Galaxy S26 series, we may instead get the Galaxy S26 Pro, Ga

How one single image may have convinced me to buy the Google Pixel 10

Google Pixel 10 leaks have been nonstop over the last few weeks. From device renders and specs to Tensor G5 details, little has been left to the imagination. What we’ve seen so far has painted a promising, if not overly exciting, picture for Google’s next phones. The Tensor G5 should be the highlight, thanks to its new 3nm design and Google’s switch from Samsung Foundry to TSMC. The base Pixel 10 getting a telephoto camera is exciting, too. While the leaks have been fine, I haven’t seen anythi

One UI 8 lets you use Samsung DeX on your PC again, but there’s a catch

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR The latest One UI 8 release makes it possible to use Samsung DeX on PCs again, though you’ll need a third-party tool called scrcpy to do so. Samsung previously discontinued its “DeX for PC” application, leaving users without the dedicated desktop interface on their computers. One UI 8’s new DeX can run on a virtual display, which allows the open-source scrcpy tool to mirror the full desktop experience to a PC. If you have a compatible Galaxy device, y

I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with Rust

"Everything is chrome in the future" was a line said by SpongeBob SquarePants in an episode from 1999, and it turned out to be a prophecy about web browsers. Google Chrome is the world's most popular browser, and most of its competitors are based on the same Chromium code: Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi, Opera, Brave, and Arc, just to name a few. The main exceptions are Safari and Firefox. It wasn't always this way. At the start of the millennium, Internet Explorer used its own Trident engine on Windo

Nothing Headphone 1 vs. AirPods Max: Which Over-Ear ANC Headphones Win?

Sometimes, picking a pair of headphones feels like an impossible choice. There are lots to choose from, and the barrier to entry is enough to send haptic chills down one’s spine. If there’s one thing that most can agree on, it’s that Apple’s AirPods Max are probably the standard for people considering headphones in the U.S., especially if you already own an iPhone. But AirPods Max are so damn expensive, right? Is it worth shelling out $550 for a pair of headphones when competitors like Nothing’s

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review: Quantum leap

The first foldable phones hit the market six years ago, and they were rife with compromises and shortcomings. Many of those problems have persisted, but little by little, foldables have gotten better. With the release of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung has made the biggest leap yet. This device solves some of the most glaring problems with Samsung's foldables, featuring a new, slimmer design and a big camera upgrade. Samsung's seventh-generation foldable has finally crossed that hazy boundary betw

Asus Chromebook CX14 Review: What You Get for $429

You could certainly make the argument that cheap Chromebooks keep the world running. That's at least true in schools. But for all their importance, not as many new affordable Chromebooks come out each year as you might think. Asus is changing that in 2025 with the Chromebook CX14, a surprisingly pleasant 14-inch laptop that costs just $429 in its higher-end configuration. As far as cheap Chromebooks go, this is among the best. Blending In Photograph: Luke Larsen The CX14 might not look like

Hey Microsoft, is it ‘Xbox PC’ or ‘Xbox on PC’?

is a senior editor and author of Notepad , who has been covering all things Microsoft, PC, and tech for over 20 years. Microsoft first started using the “Xbox PC” term in a blog post announcing the Gears of Wars remaster in early May. It was a new branding effort designed to signal that games are available on PC through its own Xbox PC app and store. The Xbox PC branding didn’t last long though, as Microsoft has now started using “Xbox on PC” instead. Which one is it, Microsoft? The Xbox PC br

Samsung confirms earlier launch for Galaxy S25 FE, teases more big releases for 2025

Worried about the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s screen durability? Here’s what Samsung says.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 ZDNET's key takeaways The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an excellent upgrade over its predecessor, thanks to its slim and light design, a strong hinge and a wider coverscreen.

Lyon Is Replacing Windows and Microsoft Office with Linux and OnlyOffice

Jumping Rocks/Contributor/Getty Is it something in the water? First, it was Denmark bidding Microsoft adieu. Then it was the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.

ReproZip – reproducible experiments from command-line executions

ReproZip ReproZip is a tool aimed at simplifying the process of creating reproducible experiments from command-line executions, a frequently-used common denominator in computational science. It tracks operating system calls and creates a package that contains all the binaries, files and dependencies required to run a given command on the author's computational environment (packing step). A reviewer can then extract the experiment in his environment to reproduce the results (unpacking step). Q

All of your international packages are about to get more expensive

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold dimensions tell a grim yet promising story

Late last week, we got a sneak peek at the upcoming Pixel 10 series’ dimensions. While all phones in the line-up are getting heavier than their predecessors in the Pixel 9 series, it’s the Pixel 10 Pro Fold that jumped out to me, mostly because it’s eschewing the entire foldable industry’s trend right now. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is slightly narrower than the 9 Pro Fold (while also sporting smaller bezels and a larger outer display), but it’s a little thicker when unfolded, even thicker when fold

SpaceX faces two new lawsuits alleging safety‐related retaliation

Trump will end the de minimis exemption for low-cost global shipments

President Donald Trump's latest economic move is to halt the de minimis exemption, a provision that made international shipments of low-value items cheaper. When the exemption ends on August 29, shipments valued at or under $800 will be subject to duty fees when sent by any carrier other than the international postal network, no matter what country they are coming from. According to the White House's announcement of this change, shipments will either be assessed with an ad valorem duty equal to
