1+ min ago (388+ words) Ever since Samsung announced the Galaxy Z TriFold last week, we've had a lot of questions about the phone. What does it feel like to use Samsung's first tri-fold foldable? Are the hinges sturdy? How heavy/bulky is the phone? Is this folding design better or worse than the Huawei Mate XT? Well, we now have answers to all of those. My colleague Paul Jones recently went hands-on with the Galaxy Z TriFold at the Dubai Mall " one of the only places in the world where Samsung is demoing the phone " and he came away with a lot of thoughts about Samsung's futuristic foldable. It's one thing to read about the Galaxy Z TriFold and see pictures online, but what is it like to hold the phone in your hands? As it turns out, it's pretty great. One of our…...

Nvidia has been deploying its GB200 Blackwell architecture at Microsoft and other tech giants as demand for compute to train and run AI models surges. Blackwell, announced in March 2024, is roughly twice as powerful as its predecessor, Hopper, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at launch. GB200 is part of an earlier wave of Blackwell deployments, with the GB300 generation now available. In early fall, an internal email sent by a staffer on the Nvidia Infrastructure Specialists (NVIS) team described one Blackwell installation of server racks for OpenAI, which Microsoft supports as its cloud partner and largest investor. The email described the setup of two GB200 NVL72 racks, each of which houses 72 Nvidia…...

They were then directed to the r/TVTooHigh community, where they posted the before and after pics of their living room with the newly-adjusted TV and asked if they had done a decent job. The silly-sounding yet useful Subreddit is the place to be whenever you are second-guessing whether the TV in your living room or bedroom is mounted at a correct height. Created in 2019, the description of r/TVTooHigh is as precise as it could be: "TVs that are too high". Sufficiently annoyed by the recommendation, u/Super-Olive-4750 took the matter into their hands. u/Super-Olive-4750 also asked the good people of the community if they were pleased with the new TV position. "You took it well. I told someone that before and he sent me a dm that he was going…...

24+ min ago (423+ words) For years, 4K has been the gold standard for gaming monitors, but ASUS clearly thinks that's too easy. Enter the ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG, a 27inch IPS panel boasting a 5120 x 2880 resolution'that's 77% more pixels than 4K. At 218 pixels per inch, the density is absurd, cramming professionalgrade clarity into a screen size most gamers already consider the sweet spot. This isn't just a creator's display repurposed for gaming. ASUS has built it with players in mind, topping out at a 180Hz refresh rate, 0.3ms response time, and support for both FreeSync Premium and GSync compatible VRR. It's a monitor that wants to deliver both eyebleeding detail and competitive smoothness. Of course, 5K gaming at 180Hz is a nightmare for even the most powerful GPUs. ASUS knows this, which is why the Strix 5K comes with a clever dualmode option. With the press of a button, users can drop the resolution to…...

Do note that Apple has been offering this facility since the iPhone 14 launched back in 2022. The certification also confirms the smartphone's support for wired charging at 60W, with the charger brick sold separately.

Also, as we previously reported,Samsung is finally bringing iPhone-like wireless charging to the Galaxy S26 lineup: As per the available information at this time, theGalaxy S26 Ultra is expected to feature a selfie camera hole that will be around 4mm bigger than its predecessor's, resulting in a wider field of view, but at the cost of overall aesthetics.

32+ min ago (408+ words) WhatsApp has announced a bunch of new features right in time for the holiday season, and the most notable addition is something that the company thinks "will make voicemails a thing of the past." In reality, it works much like traditional voicemails, with the added convenience of leaving a video message after missed video calls. Furthermore, the company has introduced a new media tab on desktop. This feature was first spotted in a beta release last month, and it's finally making its way to the stable channel. The tab lets users search through shared documents, links, and media from all chats in one place. Switching between iPhone and Android devices has always been a notoriously messy and time-consuming process, often leaving users with missing app data, incomplete media transfers, and lost messages. Thankfully, Apple and Google have teamed up to…...
