Starlink has brought high-speed internet to millions of rural Americans for the first time. It’s also one of the most expensive internet service providers in the country. So, how is it available in New York for just $15 a month? If Starlink wants to sell internet in the state, it has no choice. That’s thanks to the Affordable Broadband Act, a New York state law passed in January. However, customers will still have to pay $349 upfront for Starlink's equipment kit. That might be an insurmountable

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-01 05:55:11

Keep checking those gold prices—scientists have more news about the coveted metal. An energy startup claims it has the recipe for modern-day alchemy: turning mercury into gold inside a nuclear fusion reactor. Last week, Marathon Fusion, a San Francisco-based energy startup, submitted a preprint detailing an action plan for synthesizing gold particles via nuclear transmutation—essentially the process of turning one element into another by tweaking its nucleus. The paper, which has yet to undergo

Google’s Phone app could make resuming on-hold calls easier (APK teardown)

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a new “Unhold” shortcut in call notifications through its Phone app. The new button replaces the “Mute” button whenever a user puts a call on hold. Although not yet live, this change would improve usability by allowing users to resume held calls more efficiently. Google doesn’t mess around that much with the Google Phone app. It makes sense too, as you don’t want to disturb muscle memory for people for crucial tasks like calls. But e

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 Review: A Promising Update

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2026-01-03 02:03:00

It's hard not to like Samsung’s latest folding phones. Now in their seventh generation, the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 have reached a level of hardware refinement near perfection for their respective categories. That might sound like something I've been saying for the last several years—after all, every new Fold and Flip has made small tweaks to make them better than their predecessors—but the changes from 2024 feel more drastic.

New iPhone Fold leak makes the Galaxy Z Fold 7 cover display seem massive

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR A new report reinforces previous iPhone Fold leaks about a 5.5-inch cover screen and 7.8-inch inner display. The outer screen would be smaller than the first-gen Pixel Fold’s and a full inch smaller than that of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The iPhone Fold isn’t expected to launch before the second half of 2026.

Fusion Startup Says It's Figured Out How to Turn Mercury Into Gold

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-03 17:21:29

A fusion energy startup claims to have found a way to turn mercury into gold. As the Financial Times reports, San Francisco-based Marathon Fusion says that the same process that could one day represent a limitless source of clean energy could also be used for literal alchemy. As detailed in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, nuclear transmutation — effectively changing an element or isotope into a different one by ripping out protons from its nucleus — could be used to synthesize gold particles.

Three employees said that in practice, Elsa has hallucinated nonexistent studies or misrepresented real research.
