Samsung tries to prove its foldable phones are tough in a new test video

Samsung is sharing new details about how it tests the durability of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3. However, it's unclear exactly why Samsung is releasing this information now, especially given that both phones launched in August; that makes us think it could be an attempt to assuage fears sparked by recent reports of cracks on Galaxy Z Flip 3 screens.

In a video posted on its website, Samsung shows four separate tests. One has the phones in an environmental chamber, where Samsung tests the phones under different climates to make sure they still work. Another test engulfs the phones in water. One uses a robot arm to test the performance of the S Pen on the Z Fold 3. A fourth test folds both phones over and over.

When it comes to finding a device to use to read your ebooks, you have a few options to choose from. You can always buy a tablet or use your smartphone, but those devices are multipurpose and can be used for a ton of things, like surfing the web or doom-scrolling on Twitter. If you are looking for something to strictly read books, e-readers, while niche, are designed to store all of your books in a virtual library with limited functionality.

Amazon, having helped pioneer the e-reader, has dominated the space for years with its Kindle lineup, which consists of three unique models with their own pros and cons.

Below, we've listed each model currently available for purchase. Sometimes, there isn't a deal for one, or any, of the products....

HTC’s new Vive Flow headset reportedly launches this week

HTC is planning to release a new VR headset this week and is also working on its own metaverse-like virtual world, according to a report from Protocol.

Let's start first with that new headset. It's reportedly a standalone VR headset called the Vive Flow and is intended to be a media consumption device "with access to some casual gaming," Protocol says. However, it won't ship with controllers and will be less powerful than the Oculus Quest 2, Protocol reports. The Vive Flow will reportedly be announced at HTC's October 14th event, which would make sense, as HTC is promoting the event with the "Go with the Flow" tagline.

The new metaverse space is apparently called Viveport Verse. According to a site about the service (which was live as...

Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen said Monday that she will speak to the platform's independent Oversight Board at its invitation.

"I have accepted the invitation to brief the Facebook Oversight Board about what I learned while working there," Haugen tweeted. "Facebook has lied to the board repeatedly, and I am looking forward to sharing the truth with them."

Haugen, a former product manager in Facebook's civic integrity group, leaked a large cache of internal Facebook documents to the Wall Street Journal showing problems within the organization. She appeared on 60 Minutes two days before she testified before Congress that Facebook "repeatedly" misled the public about "what its own research reveals about the safety of children and...

Now every Twitter web user can ‘soft block’ annoying followers

Twitter is rolling out a new feature that lets any user on the web remove a follower without blocking them, an action also known as a "soft block."

To soft block a follower, head to your profile, click followers, click the three-dot menu next to a follower, and then click the option "Remove this follower." (You can see what that option looks like in an image from Twitter at the top of this post.) A follower you remove won't be notified of the change.

A soft block is different from a block because it allows a user to still see your tweets and direct message you, but they won't see your tweets on your feed. That said, when you remove a follower, they can follow you again if they want.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy sent an email to employees on Monday outlining a shift in work-from-home policies for its office workers. As of August, the plan had been for employees to return to the offices in January 2022, with the expectation being that workers spent three days a week in the office and two days a week remote. However, under the new policy announced Monday, Amazon lets individual teams decide how often their people need to come into the office.

Here's Jassy's explanation of the new policies and how they will work:

For our corporate roles, instead of specifying that people work a baseline of three days a week in the office, we're going to leave this decision up to individual teams. This decision will be made team by team at the...

The best deals on MacBooks right now

Posted: 11 Oct 2021 10:50 AM PDT

The 2020 MacBook Air, one of the best laptops you can get, is now available at Amazon starting at $850.

With multiple configurations and various models to choose from, including some equipped with Apple's new M1 processor, finding a deal on a MacBook or Mac Mini is not all that difficult.

Here, we'll run through the discounts that are currently available for the latest MacBook models, as well as any deals to be had on the Mac Mini. Of course, there are also frequent discounts available for older Intel-based configurations — which will be compatible with macOS Monterey upon its release later this year — and we'll highlight those when we find them.

Alternatively, purchasing refurbished is another way to save money on an Apple computer. Apple's refurbished store provides a one-year warranty on all products and generally has discounts of 15-...

Netflix has suspended a trans employee who tweeted about Dave Chappelle's comedy special The Closer. In the stand-up set, which was released on October 5th, Chappelle doubles down on his jokes about LGBTQ groups.

The next day, Netflix software engineer Terra Field tweeted about Chappelle, writing that the comedian "attacks the trans community, and the very validity of transness" in the special:
