Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Review in Progress (Live Updates) Samsung's buzzed-about new phone was tricky to get my hands on, but I'm excited to use it. Here are my ongoing observations.

I think @abraralheeti.bsky.social is a fantastic reviewer and I love that she's doing a kind of blow-by-blow "live blog" of her experience with the TriFold, which is an absolutely absurd piece of tech

Apple Vision Pro, One Year In: The Future Needs to Hurry Up Commentary: Apple's expensive headset remains something that appeals only to pros (and rich bros). There are things it does right and things it needs to improve as soon as possible.

A little late on my one-year Vision Pro thoughts, but there are clear things holding it back right now…but how long will they take to be addressed www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

As a fan, I still want Pete Alonso to return to the Mets It is arguably not the shrewdest baseball decision, but I contend a reunion between the Mets and Alonso is the best move for both sides.

Samsung, Please Spare Me Gemini's Photography Tips Commentary: Does an AI really know what makes good photos or art? Samsung's Galaxy S25 series with Gemini Live certainly thinks so. I'm not sold.

I might not be a professional photographer, but I’m Gen Z. I can take a good photo.

Spent last night getting to know Red Note for the 1st time. Fun, fascinating and interesting so far, but as always I had to consciously pull myself away after realizing I’d burned two hours liking and scrolling.
