Probably.The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is about eight months away (it could drop in July 2026), the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has long been unveiled, while the iPhone Fold (that’s not an official moniker) is nowhere near on the horizon.Currently, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Oppo Find N5 are being regarded as the very best one can get in the (book style) foldable form factor.Some…

3I/ATLAS is the third interstellar object ever discovered in our solar system. Telescope observations suggest it is a roughly 7-mile-wide (11 kilometers) comet zooming at more than 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h). Astronomers discovered it in early July as it emerged from beyond the orbit of Jupiter. An analysis of the comet’s composition and unusually flat, straight trajectory revealed that it did not originate within our cosmic neighborhood, and was likely ejected from a distant star system long before our sun ever formed.The exotic comet has many peculiar properties, from its chemical composition to its large size. This has fuelled speculation…
In a letter to a House committee last month, legal counsel for Alphabet, YouTube’s parent company, claimed that president Joe Biden’s administration sought to “influence” the company to crack down on Covid-19 misinformation. Republicans celebrated the letter as an apparent admission of Democratic censorship.But Democrats seem to be throwing cold water on the allegations. In a new letter to YouTube CEO Neal Mohan first reported by WIRED, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee Jamie Raskin shares half a dozen excerpts of transcripts with 20 Alphabet employees. According to the letter, none of them claim they were ever pressured to…
The iPhone 18 Pro might miss out on the same “feature” that the iPhone 17 Pro did: the option to purchase it in the color black. If true, it’ll continue Apple’s slight nudge towards encouraging users to buy the iPhone Air instead, leaving the Pro models for actual professionals who need the hardware.No black color for iPhone 18 ProAccording to a recent post (translated source) by an industry insider, the iPhone 18 Pro might be skipping a black color option next year as well, just like the iPhone 17 Pro did. This is hardly a dealbreaker for most consumers, but…
South Korean game studio Shift Up recently posted a developer interview video to celebrate the third anniversary of its RPG Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. And as reported by Automation Media and ThisIsGame, during this video, the studio’s director Hyungsuk Yoo took a hard stance against “hateful expressions” in the popular RPG, saying: “We will never tolerate anyone intentionally inserting hate speech into NIKKE or approaching the game with that mindset.” However, the devs don’t directly mention what this is in reference to in the video; it’s very likely an attempt to address a controversial situation involving a piece of art…

A California-based startup’s controversial plan to put 4,000 tennis-court-sized mirrors in orbit around Earth is “catastrophic” and “horrifying,” astronomers warn.Reflect Orbital, which was founded in 2021, has recently taken the first step in a scheme to sell sunlight at night by bouncing solar rays off giant “reflectors” that can redirect the vital resource almost anywhere on our planet. By doing this, the company aims to extend daylight hours in specific locations, thus allowing paying customers to generate solar power, grow crops and replace urban lighting.But experts say it is a wildly impractical plan that should never get off the ground.…
Cozy Gaming AccessoriesCourtesy of PluflPlufl Human Dog Bed for $275: The Venn diagram of cozy gamers and those who enjoy nesting is probably closer to a circle than you’d think. The Plufl human dog bed is supremely comfortable thanks to its memory foam sides and base, and its plush machine-washable cover. I find it the perfect place to curl up to game for hours at a time, and there’s room for snacks and plushies too. I wish the footprint were smaller, but I’m still willing to sacrifice space for it, which should be a testament to how comfortable it is.MoonPod…
