TL;DR Samsung recently compared its approach to smart wearables with Chinese fitness devices, claiming it focuses on “high quality.” It said that Chinese smartwatches offer seven to ten days of battery backup because they offer low-power components. Samsung, on the other hand, is focusing on accurate health measurement systems that are already being tested for the next two generations of the Galaxy Watch.

Amid growing tensions and an escalating trade war between the United States and China, international business travelers may be understandably wary about traveling to the Chinese mainland. The US Department of State currently has a Level 2 travel advisory for China, instructing visitors to “exercise increased caution” because of the “arbitrary enforcement of local laws.” The reality on the ground is more complicated.

iOS 26 beta 5 adds ‘Mode Switching’ toggle to revert Camera swipe direction

iOS 26 includes a redesigned Camera app that changes how you switch between shooting modes. As of iOS 26 beta 5, the redesign comes with a new toggle in Settings as well. In addition to changing the visual appearance, Apple has changed the interaction model for how you switch between shooting modes. Previously, the visual metaphor for switching modes was like moving a physical dial with different shooting modes under your finger. If you swiped left, you moved to the dial setting to the right.

Patrick McGee, who literally wrote the book on Apple in China, explains. For the last two quarters, Apple CEO Tim Cook has noted that iPhones sold in the U.S. are sourced from India. The move, of course, allows Apple to avoid those pesky Trump tariffs on products exported from China and sold in the United States. Responding to a technically tru

Yes, you need a firewall on Linux - here's why and which to use

JuSun/Getty ZDNET's key takeaways Linux is highly secure, but you should still have a firewall. You should know if your ISP's hardware (gateway) uses a firewall. One of the easiest Linux firewalls is UFW and its GUI sidekick, GUFW. I've been using Linux for nearly 30 years. Over those years, I've experienced only one security issue (a rootkit on a server I inherited). The reason for that is Linux's heightened security.
