Every new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 feature (and what hasn’t changed)

The Galaxy Z Fold 4's clamshell design left a gap between the upper and bottom halves of the display, which some even claimed was bigger than the gap of the Z Fold 3 before it.The gap raised durability concerns, since dust, sand, dirt, and other particles could quickly get into the phone's inner display and affect the phone's functionality. To address these issues, the Z Fold 5 has a gapless design that closes completely when folded.Also: Every product announced at Samsung Unpacked: Galaxy Z Fold 5, Watch 6, Tab S9, more …

Zoe Saldaña Hasn’t Closed the Door on a Gamora, Star-Lord MCU Reunion

Disney and Marvel’s MCU is over a decade old, and many actors who started out in the franchise early on are moving on to seek other opportunities. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was the end of the Guardians as we know them, as the characters went their separate ways with the film’s conclusion. It also marked the time for some actors to move on, but after recent comments, we wonder if Zoe Saldaña has left the door open for a return. Alongside Dave Bautista, Saldaña shared that she planned to move away from blockbusters…

A Misleadingly-Marketed Ego Trip Still Hasn’t Been Forgiven for Its Sins

You’ve got to hand it to M. Night Shyamalan for reinventing himself and managing to salvage his career just as it was beginning to look as though he’d been written off for good, with the writer and director now in the process of consistently churning out mid budget genre films that can always be relied on to turn a tidy profit at the box office. That certainly wasn’t the case a decade ago, when a string of critical and commercial disasters had effectively ruined his reputation and almost killed his mainstream career.…

Nintendo Hasn’t Made A Star Fox In Seven Years, But Here’s The Next Best Thing

With hope seemingly lost, however, Flippfly--the developer behind 2013 indie hit Race The Sun--have a present for ya with their next project, Whisker Squadron: Survivor.Whisker Squadron is a roguelite on-rails space shooter where players blast into space as the titular Whisker Squadron--Olivia, Gigi, Max, and Ross--as they do a barrel roll in 30-minute runs…

Covid hasn’t entirely gone away—here’s where we stand

Reassuringly, older, non-expired tests do still seem to be picking up new variants of the virus (although it’s worth bearing in mind that we don’t know how future variants might evolve). But they’ve never been 100% accurate, and they still aren’t. (Antonio reviewed a few of the tests back in 2021 and had mixed results.) A study published a couple of days ago found that symptomatic people should really take two tests, 48 hours apart. And people who think they might have been infected but don’t have symptoms should test…

M2 Ultra Mac Pro review shows Apple’s powerhouse hasn’t left the worst of the Intel era

After teasing that a new Mac Pro was coming more than a year ago, Apple went almost radio silent when it finally unveiled the M2 Ultra computer during the WWDC 2023 keynote. Not only did it share the stage with the new Mac Studio, but it was tough to learn anything about this new machine in the wild. While BGR already reported an unboxing of the M2 Ultra Mac Pro, we were still lacking a review of this product. Fortunately, Apple did hand off a few review units for journalists, and The Verge had access to an M2…

4 years after Jony Ive left Apple, here’s what’s changed (and what hasn’t)

Today marks four years since it was announced that Jony Ive was leaving Apple, a revelation that sent shockwaves through the tech world. Just like that, the man who was synonymous with Apple’s product philosophy was gone – and everyone was asking what would come next.Since then, it’s been common for people to assume that Apple has changed in seismic ways, namely that it has extracted its head from its proverbial design backside, stopped making foolish decisions brought on by an obsession with minimalism, and started…

Why hasn’t L.A. seen a big San Andreas quake recently?

It’s a riddle that has both blessed California and still raises worries for the future: Why hasn’t L.A. seen a big San Andreas earthquake in generations? And what does that mean when it does come?A new study provides a possible answer — the drying Salton Sea, about 150 miles southeast of L.A., and the lack of sudden, major floodwaters funneling into it since it formed more than a century ago.But one thing is certain. The drought of earthquakes on the San Andreas fault will not last. A drying Salton Sea may be helping…
