Lettuce Grow Indoor Farmstand Review: Grow Your Own

Upon receiving the Lettuce Grow Indoor Farmstand in the mail, I did not expect that I’d be enjoying some tea before I’d even unwrapped all the parts. “Is that … Zooey Deschanel? With a Dollar Tree Property Brother?” my husband asked, peering over my shoulder as I unpacked various tubes and parts. And indeed, among the boxes was a glossy handout of a slightly younger-looking Zooey, standing with a man who did vaguely resemble her current husband, Jonathan Scott, of Property Brothers fame.

My apologies, Samsung, I was unfamiliar with your Fold game

I spent a long time dismissing the Galaxy Z Fold as a ho-hum foldable that didn’t seem like it was interested in innovation. Maybe it’s because I’ve always been more of a fan of flip phones, but I never really felt like I wanted to give Samsung’s original foldable the time of day. And then, I got pushed out of my comfort zone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 arrived on my doorstep, ready for review, and I decided to make the most of my adventure. I can’t believe I waited this long.

Microsoft Teams voice calls abused to push Matanbuchus malware

The Matanbuchus malware loader has been seen being distributed through social engineering over Microsoft Teams calls impersonating IT helpdesk.

The Pixel Watch 4 might not become e-waste if you damage it

Google is hosting its annual Pixel event on August 20, which will likely feature the Pixel 10 series and the Pixel Watch 4. The new Pixel phones are expected to retain the physical design of last year's phones, but a new report claims Google's smartwatch is getting an important hardware upgrade—it may finally be repairable. Google has stuck with the same design for all three generations of the Pixel Watch, making changes only to internal components, displays, and charging. Even with the year-to

The chip powering Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold may have just been revealed by One UI 8 (APK teardown)

How to run an LLM on your laptop

For Pistilli, opting for local models as opposed to online chatbots has implications beyond privacy. “Technology means power,” she says. “And so who[ever] owns the technology also owns the power.” States, organizations, and even individuals might be motivated to disrupt the concentration of AI power in the hands of just a few companies by running their own local models. Breaking away from the big AI companies also means having more control over your LLM experience. Online LLMs are constantly sh

Samsung DeX turns the Galaxy Z Flip 7 into a pocket-sized PC, but it’s missing one key feature

TL;DR The new Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the first in Samsung’s clamshell foldable lineup to support Samsung DeX, turning it into a compact, portable PC. DeX provides a full desktop experience on an external monitor and works with a wired connection, even when the phone is closed. While a powerful addition, it lacks the ability to use the cover screen as a touchpad, a feature found on competing Razr phones. Samsung’s clamshell folding phones have always been true flagships in terms of specs and perfo

Is it safe to buy retro gaming handhelds with pre-loaded games? Here’s my expert advice

Emulation handhelds have exploded in popularity over the past few years. But despite their growing mainstream appeal, they still exist in a legal and ethical gray area when it comes to piracy. While emulators themselves are perfectly legal, many devices come bundled with microSD cards crammed full of sketchy pre-loaded ROMs. Recently, this practice landed an Italian YouTuber in serious legal trouble. Authorities threatened them with steep fines and up to three years in prison for “promoting pir

Virtuos has provided support on a number of large game projects — including a recent patch for Cyberpunk

Samsung may have accidentally revealed its tri-fold’s name, and it’s not very exciting

TL;DR Samsung has filed a trademark for its upcoming triple-screen foldable. The filing reveals the name “Galaxy Z TriFold,” but we’re skeptical of this being final. The foldable is rumored to launch in October, but with availability limited to China and South Korea. Samsung’s progress on a new style of foldable with three inner screen faces instead of two is no longer a secret. It has repeatedly teased the new shape and even showcased a working prototype at Mobile World Congress 2025 of what
