The Galaxy Z Fold 8 could finally get rid of one of the worst things about foldables

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 will apparently use the same “laser-drilled display metal plates” as the foldable iPhone. These parts reportedly enable a crease-free screen on Apple’s device, suggesting the Z Fold 8 won’t have a display crease, either. This would be a major step forward for the industry, as all foldable phones to date have a crease. Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has a dramatically thinner and lighter form factor than p

Amazon’s AI push is undermining its sustainability goals

Amazon’s decarbonization goals are being undermined by its push to be a leader in generative AI.

In fact, prices soared in 2024 as some of the most well-known fast food chains hiked prices to make our favorite treats more costly than ever. Not all fast food is created equal, and one restaurant has inc

Block shares plunge 17%, head for worst day in 5 years after earnings miss

In its financial report late Thursday, Block reported earnings of 71 cents per share, falling short of the average analyst estimate of 87 cents, according to LSEG. Revenue of $6.03 billion also missed expectations of $6.29 billion. The company posted $2.31 billion in gross profit
