TikTok is adding new features to its app to let songwriters highlight their works. These features, rolling out in beta, include a “Songwriter” label and a new tab on their profile to show off their musical works.

Samsung boss cleared of fraud by South Korea's top court Samsung boss Lee Jae-yong has been cleared by South Korea's top court of fraud charges, concluding a years-long legal battle over his role in a 2015 merger deal. Lee, the grandson of Samsung's founder and the de facto head of the company since 2014, had been accused of using stock and accounting fraud to try to gain control of the firm. In its final verdict, the Supreme Court in Seoul upheld a not guilty verdict, after Lee was acquitted

Inside the box: Everything I did with an Arduino starter kit

news.ycombinator.com Pedro Lopes 2025-07-25 08:21:40

Earlier this year I saw a Tech Ingredients episode where a laser gimbal automatically tracks drones and shoots them down. I was fascinated by their motion control mechanism, specially the usage of a PI Controller, a high-frequency clock Teensy microcontroller, and their integration with custom hardware and a machine vision powered tracker. Soon after I was researching the underlying electronics and how to experiment upon their concepts. The most obvious microcontroller to drive these would be a

The 1960s schools experiment that created a whole new alphabet

news.ycombinator.com Emma Loffhagen 2025-07-25 16:33:24

Throughout my life, my mum has always been a big reader. She was in three or four book clubs at the same time. She’d devour whatever texts my siblings and I were studying in school, handwrite notes for our lunchboxes and write in her diary every night. Our fridge door was a revolving display of word-of-the-day flashcards. Despite this, she also was and remains, by some margin, the worst speller I have met.

I Finally Held a Foldable That Doesn't Feel Like Two Stacked Phones: The Galaxy Z Fold 7

Holding the Galaxy Z Fold 7, I have to remind myself this is not just any ordinary phone. The wildly thin design and wider cover screen makes this generation of Samsung's foldable feel incredibly normal, at least when it's closed. When it's unfolded, it's a whole different story.

Call of Duty cheaters complain after Activision launches new wave of mass-bans

techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2025-07-26 16:59:19

Several players of the popular first-person shooter Call of Duty complained last week that they were permanently banned from the game for using a well-known cheat. Video game streamer ItsHapa wrote on X last week that Call of Duty players using ArtificialAiming, a cheat provider of more than 19 years, were the targets of a “massive wave of permabans,” referring to bans that cannot be reversed, which prevents cheaters from creating new accounts.

After 6 months, I’m still not over Samsung’s lazy Galaxy S25 launch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-26 16:00:43

Back in January, when Samsung launched the three main phones in the Galaxy S25 series, I wasn’t shy with my criticism. I openly wondered why the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus even exist, and pointed out how the Galaxy S25 Ultra is such a nominal upgrade over the Galaxy S24 Ultra that it’s a wonder Samsung didn’t drop the price. Surprisingly, at the time, Samsung teased that a significant part of the Galaxy S25 family was yet to come: an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight phone called the Galaxy S25

2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA feels like a real car, not a science experiment

Mercedes provided flights from Detroit to Copenhagen, Denmark, and accommodation so Ars could drive the CLA with EQ Technology. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. The Mercedes-Benz CLA is a marked departure from Mercedes' EV efforts. Instead of a dedicated line of EQ vehicles—like the EQB, EQC, and EQS—we're getting vehicles "with EQ Technology."

Techno-noir may not have ever been a major genre, but it delivers twists and turns in a futuristic city where things are darker than they seem. Films like Johnny Mnemonic, Blade Runner and 12 Monkeys popularized the genre, but they're far from the only options. One of my overlooked favorites of the genre is Dark City, a mind-bending techno-noir thriller that explores the idea of identity against a city swathed in darkness. Released in 1998, the underrated gem preceded The Matrix by a year, and
