Galaxy Z Fold8 has a very useful feature: app-level display customization. For example, YouTube normally shows only two rows of video recommendations on the screen. After reducing the display size, it can show three rows of videos at the same time, allowing me to browse more content without constantly... show more

Samsung needs to learn how to advertise better. The amount of features that they fail to advertise or advertise properly in their keynote is genuinely annoying.

First, the conclusion: the so called Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra leak from last night turned out to be a false alarm. After watching the original video over and over again, I'm convinced it isn't a Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. It's actually the blue version of the Galaxy Z Fold7. Because of the lighting and color temperature, the blue frame appeared black on camera, which led to the confusion. Here are the three biggest clues: 1. The inner display camera cutout is too large. Compared with the official Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra renders, the inner camera hole on the Fold8 Ultra is noticeably smaller. The one in the leaked video is still the larger Fold7-style cutout. 2. The rear camera housing doesn't match. The cylindrical camera housing reflects light with a bright metallic sheen, which is much more consistent with the blue Galaxy Z Fold7 than the black Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. Some of the hardware details also don't line up. 3. The inner display is still highly reflective. The device in the video shows obvious screen reflections. However, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is the first Fold to feature an anti reflective inner display film. Anyone familiar with Samsung foldables should immediately notice that the reflections don't look like this. Based on these three points, I'm confident the device in the video is a blue Galaxy Z Fold7, not the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. The confusion is understandable because the two generations are incredibly similar. They share the same overall dimensions and aspect ratio, making them very easy to mix up. The good news is that the real Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra will be even better. It will have an even less visible crease than the Fold7, along with the new anti reflective inner display film.

Galaxy Z Fold8 series needs to be recalled I saw users pressing the corners of their Z Fold8 series models and the display actually giving in deep I tested my Z Fold8 Ultra and all four corners of the main display give in. The display seems to not be glued to the bezel and have no support under the corners I can feel the support end, leaving a small triangle in the corner with nothing under it which results in the corners bending. In the video I drag my finger instead of just pressing to feel that point where the support ends

I’ve been following the evolution of foldables for a while, and what I find interesting is that the category is finally moving beyond the question of “How many screens can we fit into a phone?” The new HUAWEI Mate XT 2 ULTIMATE DESIGN caught my attention for a different reason, Huawei seems to be asking what a foldable phone should actually feel like in everyday life. The feature that stood out most to me is the new folding architecture. Instead of simply improving the previous design, Huawei has changed the way the device folds altogether. The two sides fold inward, fully enclosing the flexible display, while an independent outer screen lets you use the phone normally when it’s closed. That feels like a meaningful design decision to me. A foldable is only truly useful if you don’t have to think about the folding mechanism every time you use it. For calls, messages or quick tasks, it behaves like a phone. When you need more space, you open it up and suddenly have a much larger canvas. The other feature I found genuinely interesting is Lingdun Privacy Display. With increasingly work from our phones, emails, financial information, business documents, conversations. The idea of having hardware-level privacy that can help shield the screen from people looking from the side feels surprisingly practical. And perhaps that’s what I like most about this generation. The impressive part isn’t simply that it looks futuristic, it’s that some of the engineering appears to be focused on solving very ordinary problems: How do I use a large screen without carrying a tablet? How do I protect what I’m looking at in public? How do I make a sophisticated device feel natural? That, to me, is where technology becomes interesting when innovation stops being about showing what’s possible and starts making everyday life a little easier.

Now that I am home and have access to my files I decided to do a quick test with one of my Vtubing avatars. It works way better with my larger iPad Pro (less crashing/more memory and more screen space) compared to the mini so I did want to bring that up. Importing the file over as GLB was more stable than just OBJ plus it kept the color info from the previous texture. I texture all my avatars on substance painter but have been looking at an alternative when I am out and about that is not on the computer and this actually hits all the right "wants". Adding a quick video of the way the app works for me. I like that it has layers, I can alter my brushes and even add stabilization when I am drawing (which I use that extensively on procreate so that was a huge plus). The stamp tools will come in handy as well but did not show it on this video. The file itself is imported as "one mesh" but each part is treated as their own separate piece which I show in the video. I do the same thing on substance painter making it really easy for me to texture. The app then exports the texture out for each object which is the same way I do so on substance. Overall I am extremely impressed with the work Sparseal has done on this application and see how useful this will be for my current work flow of texturing. I for one love the ability to be "portable" which is a big reason I sculpt so much with Nomad Sculpt on the iPad. Having the freedom to do your work away from a desk and if you feel like doing it outside is probable why I yearn for iPad apps so much like so. Give this app a look, it is free to try on the App Store (It is $19 to be able to export, but a one time buy). It is called "Wafer" for the iPad. I already use CozyBlanket from the same creator to do re topology so I expected this level of fantastic with this current app.

Galaxy Z Fold8 (regular) has to be the most pointless phone I have seen. The fact that this FOLDABLE does not have Flex Mode, and an adjustable hinge design, is legitimately stupid. Z Flip8, a phone that is $700 CHEAPER than Fold8, DOES have Flex Mode! The whole point of a Foldable is to prop it up, and use it as a makeshift tripod. I feel bad for people who are upgrading from Fold4, 5, and 6, expecting to have this feature, but in reality, they pay more for less features.

A simple action that I think is going to continue to pop up more and more? Get - Keep I love Gets because of their ability to accomplish a lot of the same things you want your ball screen to do. The thing that is fantastic about them, however, is their keep-ability. If the defense plays at the level, or switches, or in any way gives you space to attack... the Keep option is LETHAL. Great potential action for younger team too!

.David Sacks explains how the establishment uses hate speech as a red herring to mask their true intention of exerting political censorship and controlling the narrative: "What the left has wanted to do since Elon Musk took over Twitter is to say that this is about allowing more hate on the platform, and that has never been the motivation for those of us who care about free speech... What is our main concern about censorship? It is political suppression. It's about narrative control. It's not like we want more hate on the platform. We want a level playing field. We don't want the thought police at Twitter putting their thumb on the scale of American democracy and deciding who has a voice and who doesn't. That's what this is really about. The people who believe in censorship want to make you think that this is about allowing more hate, and it's not."

I think a video tells the story much better. Here's a crease comparison between four foldable phones: Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Fold8, OPPO Find N6, and vivo X Fold6. What impressed me most about the Galaxy Z Fold8 isn't just how shallow the crease is, but how well it holds up over time. Thanks to its redesigned main hinge structure and improved stress distribution, the Z Fold8 appears to maintain its shallow crease for a longer period and even shows a degree of self-recovery. For example, when I unfolded the phone this morning, the crease was slightly more noticeable than it had been the night before. After leaving the device fully open for about 10 minutes, the crease gradually became less visible and returned to almost the same condition I had seen the previous evening. Of course, this is based on my observations of a single retail unit during everyday use, so it doesn't necessarily represent every device. If it continues to maintain this level of crease performance after long-term, repeated folding, then the Galaxy Z Fold8 could set a new benchmark for crease durability among foldable smartphones.

ELON MUSK: Over 1 billion people use 𝕏. "The reason we say 1 billion users is actually over a billion users is that while our monthly users are, on average, around 600 million, the number of people who have the X app installed is well over a billion, it's just that most people only occasionally come to the X app when there's some major world event. But as we give people more reasons to use the X app, whether it's for communications, for Grok or for X money, whatever the case may be, we want it to be such that, if you wanted to, you could live your life on the X app, and as we make it more and more useful, we'll obviously give people compelling reasons to use the app every day, and have my expectation is well over a billion daily active users."

It means Script TV, as of this summer, can be streamed on hundreds of millions of televisions in just a few clicks on your TV remote. Here is a rough demo of one of our CTV apps. Mass adoption for decentralised television is coming fast, powered by $SCPT. We go live on Samsung, LG, Apple TV and more in the near future. Get ready (🍿, 📺)

TM Roh, please take some time and actually use a Galaxy Z Fold 8. Let me explain why I’m saying this. This may seem like a tiny issue. It’s just an animation when opening and closing an album in Gallery. But what bothers me is what this tiny detail reveals: just how little Samsung’s software team seems to care about these parts of the user experience. I seriously wonder whether some of the executives responsible for this product, including TM Roh, have ever actually used the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as their primary phone. Because this problem is ridiculously easy to notice. You don’t need days of testing. Use the Z Fold 8 on its inner display for half an hour, open Gallery, tap an album cover, then go back. You’ll immediately see it: there is basically no proper transition animation. The interface simply switches from one screen to another. I have three levels of expectations for system animations: 1. Does an animation exist? 2. Does it look good? 3. Does it have originality and its own visual identity? If the animation looks bad, I can criticize the aesthetics. If it looks ordinary, I can say it lacks polish. But Samsung hasn’t even passed Level 1. And that becomes even more ridiculous when you compare it with other Android foldables. Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z TriFold, OPPO Find N6, Xiaomi 18 Fold. They are all Android foldables dealing with the same basic challenges of large screens, multitasking and UI transitions. So why can OPPO do it? Why can Xiaomi do it? Why does Samsung continue to ignore something this basic, even on a foldable costing thousands of dollars? Is Samsung incapable of making these animations? Of course they can. They simply don’t seem to consider them important enough. Leave it unfinished and someone will defend Samsung anyway. Make the experience crude and someone will say, “It doesn’t affect functionality.” Sell the phone for $2,000 and people will still buy it. Over time, why would Samsung feel any urgency to polish these details? The feature works. Good enough. Animations? Whatever. Details? Whatever. Aesthetics? Whatever. Those little things users see, touch and feel hundreds of times every day? Apparently, whatever. But this is 2026. OPPO and Xiaomi are already putting serious effort into animation logic, visual continuity, interaction feedback and their own software aesthetics. If Samsung continues treating “the feature works” as the finish line, the gap in software experience will only become more obvious. And now the iPhone Duo has arrived. Samsung no longer gets to assume that people looking for a premium foldable will eventually come back to Galaxy because there is no serious alternative. That advantage cannot last forever. What makes this even more unfortunate is Samsung’s enormous influence on the Android market outside China. For many people, Galaxy is their primary window into high-end Android. When crude interactions like this remain unchanged for years, people gradually get used to them. They start thinking this is simply what Android is supposed to feel like, and that animation, visual continuity and software aesthetics don’t really matter. And many of the people who couldn’t tolerate it may have already moved to the iPhone. That is exactly why I keep talking about these seemingly “tiny” problems. User experience is built from hundreds of tiny details like these. So if you own a Galaxy Z Fold 8, try this right now. Unfold it. Open Gallery on the inner display. Tap an album cover. Then go back. Look at it yourself. Is this really the software experience you expect from a nearly $2,000 flagship foldable in 2026? Stop rationalizing every problem Samsung leaves unfinished. The more users defend every missing detail, the less reason Samsung has to improve it. It’s your money. You bought a flagship. You have every right to expect Samsung to get the basics right.

Database table size impacts performance in more ways than one: a) B-tree depth. Using 8k pages and a 16b uuid: 1 level = ~370 rows 2 levels = ~138k rows 3 levels = ~50m rows 4 levels = ~20b rows The lookup cost on a table with 100k rows is not the same as one with 1b rows. This can apply both to the table itself (MySQL cluster index) as well as the indexes. Sometimes a single query requires many of them. b) Small table → fits in RAM → fast reads. The larger the table, the more likely to read from disk plus churn the cache. c) # of indexes. Each adds maintenance overhead for insertions, and for Postgres vacuum overhead as well. Keep an eye on this! It's useful to take regular stock of your tables + indexes. Clean bloat. Remove unused indexes. Partition if needed.

Database table size impacts performance in more ways than one: a) B-tree depth. Using 8k pages and a 16b uuid: 1 level = ~370 rows 2 levels = ~138k rows 3 levels = ~50m rows 4 levels = ~20b rows The lookup cost on a table with 100k rows is not the same as one with 1b rows.

The perfect combo: Galaxy Z Fold8 + Home Up Multi-Finger Gestures Remember the new multi-finger gestures added to Home Up a few days ago? I actually think they're even more useful on the Galaxy Z Fold8 than on the Galaxy S26. Here's a simple example. When using the Fold8 in portrait mode, the volume buttons sit near the top of the phone, making them a bit awkward to reach. That's where multi-finger gestures shine. I mapped three-finger swipe up and down to volume control, so I can adjust the volume instantly without touching the physical buttons. I also assigned four different actions to two-finger swipes in each direction, with each gesture launching a different app. Once you get used to it, it makes navigating the Fold8 incredibly fast and convenient. If you own a Galaxy Z Fold8, give Home Up's multi-finger gestures a try. It's one of those features that genuinely improves the experience.

One of the interesting things about being on-chain is how easy it is for anyone to trace your activity. For casual users it may not matter much, but for serious traders or builders it quickly becomes a concern. Anyone can follow your wallet activity, trading patterns, and transaction history. As the space grows, tools that allow users to interact with DeFi without exposing everything will matter a lot more. So, in the next few months, I'm going to be educating on how Houdini Swap approaches that. Follow me & turn on notifications. It's about to be a long ride from here!

Friends, I’d like to seriously discuss a suggestion regarding the Galaxy camera. Please read this patiently. As we all know, HDR and the Scene Optimizer cannot be used in Pro mode. No matter how you adjust the parameters in Pro mode, photos taken under strong light conditions cannot activate HDR or the Scene Optimizer, which is a significant issue. So here is the solution we need: Samsung should add more manual customization options in the default Photo mode (where HDR and the Scene Optimizer are supported). Options such as saturation, contrast, sharpness, and HDR intensity should be available directly in the standard shooting interface. This would allow users to freely create their own shooting style and capture stunning photos without losing the benefits of HDR effects and AI-based optimizations. Currently, the industry leader in mobile photography—vivo—already does this. In vivo’s default Photo mode, users can adjust contrast, saturation, sharpness, and more. Many vivo users love this high level of customization because it lets them fine-tune the look of every shot according to their personal preference. Samsung, at the moment, cannot match this. In the default Photo mode, the only adjustable parameter is exposure, which is far too limited. Therefore, I strongly suggest that Samsung follow vivo’s approach and introduce more customizable options in the default Photo mode. Let’s take a look at how vivo implements this—please watch the video. If you want Samsung to add this feature too, please reply with: 1. Let’s make sure Samsung sees this demand and accelerates development of this feature.

The Greeks had two ways of thinking about time: Chronos and Kairos. "The time used by storytellers is more cyclical, close to the time of nature. The Greeks talked about Chronos. Chronology time. The one we can measure. Then they talked about Kairos, which is deep time. That is the time of storytelling. Kronos is more measurable. It's easy to calculate. You can depend on clocks, calendars, and schedules. But Kairos is deep time, and you need to pay attention to Kairos. If you're interested in the stories of nature, maybe the journey of a rock, you can't just measure it with that tiny element of time. You have to look at millennia; you have to look at this long duration of time. I've always believed that storytellers should be interested in a much more cyclical notion of time."

As part of my assignment, I was tasked with designing a high-density data grid for an SEO platform. During development, our analysis of Google Analytics data revealed that the majority of our users access the platform on 13-inch display laptops. This insight necessitated optimizing the data grid for this screen size. A key challenge we encountered was the sidebar housing keyword filters, which occupied a significant portion of the available space. Since this feature was integral to the page, removing it was not an option. Even making it collapsible would have had minimal impact on the overall layout. Our initial approach involved implementing an inner horizontal scroll to accommodate additional columns. However, this solution introduced technical limitations due to the grid’s accordion UI pattern, which enables users to expand rows for detailed views. This functionality effectively split the table in half, making it difficult to synchronize scrolling across two separate grid sections within modern browsers. To address these constraints, I devised an alternative solution: implementing auto-expandable and collapsible columns based on content visibility. For instance, the "Flag" and "Performance" columns dynamically collapse by default and expand when hovered over, allowing users to access the necessary details when needed. This approach enabled us to fit all columns within a 13-inch display without relying on horizontal scrolling, ensuring a more efficient and user-friendly experience.
