Foldable phones are thin and light in 2025, so why are these brands bending the truth?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-26 00:00:19

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR A Twitter user has shown that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner than the HONOR Magic V5. It turns out both HONOR and OPPO measure their foldables without the protective inner screen film. A closer look at product pages also reveals that some brands don’t include these layers when weighing their foldables. HONOR launched the Magic V5 in China earlier this month, and the company claimed that the white version was the world’s thinnest foldable phone at 8.8mm. H

Here’s how Apple Intelligence keeps privacy in mind versus the competition

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2026-02-25 15:10:43

Artificial intelligence has obviously been the industry craze for the past couple years. While large language models are incredibly capable, they’ve always come with a bit of a compromise: privacy. Ultimately, you’re still using a model hosted in the cloud, and all of your conversations are stored on some server. Apple’s always had privacy at the core of its products – so in the months leading up to the debut of Apple’s AI features, many people wondered: how would Apple handle it? Today, we del

Apple's next iPad Pro will reportedly get two front-facing cameras

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-25 16:20:42

The iPad Pro with the M5 chip is expected to be just as easy to use for selfies in a landscape or portrait orientation. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple will add a second front-facing camera on the portrait edge of the upcoming iPad Pro that's expected to launch later this year. It may seem like a small quality-of-life upgrade, but it means the iPad Pro can use either camera to center the subject for selfies or FaceTime calls.

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Last year, I was emphatic that my time with Pixel phones was over because Google had announced it was planning to inject even more AI "goodness" into Android. I saw that as an opportunity to jump ship. My goal was to buy the Nothing Phone 3.

Digital vassals? French Government ‘exposes citizens’ data to US'

news.ycombinator.com Anne-Laure Dufeal 2026-02-25 00:26:09

France’s deepening reliance on US tech giants is raising alarms about digital sovereignty and exposing public data to foreign jurisdictions. In a French Senate report on economic and digital sovereignty, Senators accused the French State of “political fault”. That was in regard to outsourcing essential data infrastructure to US companies subject to US extraterritorial laws, including Microsoft, despite repeated warnings and alternatives. “France is subject to US extraterritorial law,” the repo

We did not visit Poland often. Only when someone died. I have not been able to bring part of my mother’s ashes to Poland yet because of the pandemic. They sit in my living room, waiting to join my other dead relatives in her village of Bedoń.

How slow motion became cinema’s dominant special effect

news.ycombinator.com Scott W. Stern 2026-02-21 15:34:29

About 20 years ago, a neuroscientist named David Eagleman strapped a bunch of students into harnesses, hoisted them to the top of an imposing metal tower, and then, without warning, dropped them 150 feet. Though the students landed safely in nets, the experience was—by design—terrifying. Eagleton wanted to simulate the feeling of plummeting to one’s death. His goal was to figure out why survivors of near-death experiences almost always said the same thing: “It felt like the world was going in sl

Log by Time, not by Count July 20, 2025 "How to Log" is a surprisingly deep topic in software engineering with many different viewpoints, and they're almost all valid in different situations. I'm going to argue that when processing lots of events, it's best to log every X seconds, rather than every X messages. This is a simple concept, but I've never seen it written down before.

Around the year 1404, Christine de Pizan completed her work, Livre des faits et bonnes mœurs du sage roy Charles V. It was both a biography of the French king who reigned from 1364 to 1380 and a guide to how an ideal monarch should live and rule. Christine had a good vantage point to tell this story.

“Dynamic Programming” is not referring to “computer programming”

When seeing the phrase “dynamic programming” in an algorithms class or leetcode study guide, the first question people ask is “what does ‘dynamic’ mean in this context?”. The key question is instead “what does ‘programming’ mean in this context?”, because it does not mean “computer programming”.
