The best flip phones of 2025: Where does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 stand?

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-11-28 12:15:16

Flip phones have come a long way in the last decade. After their resurgence with the 2019 Motorola Razr refresh, they have only improved over the years. The best flip phones not only have a big cover display and a strong hinge but also an intuitive software to utilize their unique designs. The 2025 Motorola Razr Ultra, for instance, packs an AMOLED foldable display, a feature-rich user interface and a comfortable in-hand feel, alongside a bunch of AI features.

August 17, 2025 MCP tools with dependent types This summer, I’ve been playing a bit with writing an MCP server for Defold editor. The idea was to give Claude access to evaluating Lua code in the editor scripting context, so it can use the APIs available for querying and modifying game content. The best word to describe the experience is entertaining — it has a very vague idea of the available APIs, and prefers to experiment by evaluating code instead of browsing documentation, which results in

The Plan to Turn the Caribbean’s Glut of Sargassum Into Biofuel

wired.com Edith González Cruz 2025-11-28 11:00:00

Esteban Amaro, director of the Quintana Roo Sargassum Monitoring Network, agrees that fuel is the best product to focus on. Processing the seaweed into other consumer products is possible, but inadvisable given that the health risks of doing so have not yet been sufficiently studied. “I believe that sargassum’s purpose is to produce energy, because when it decomposes, it releases many heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and cadmium,” Amaro says. “Therefore it is better to produce biofuels or bi

Is Roblox Getting Worse?

wired.com David Gilbert 2025-11-28 12:00:00

Roblox can’t keep up. After years of criticism that its platform isn’t safe for the young gamers it caters to, the multibillion-dollar company announced in July that it was rolling out new measures to protect users, including an AI-powered age-verification system and other privacy tools. But researchers, experts, and lawyers have concerns the changes won’t stop Roblox’s bigger problem: staying ahead of individuals using the platform to exploit players.
