This is a comparison between the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Xiaomi 18 Pro using their partial-window privacy modes. This test is especially useful because only part of the screen has privacy protection enabled, while the rest of the display remains in normal mode. That allows us to evaluate two... things at the same time: how strong the privacy effect actually is, and how well the normal, non-private areas preserve their brightness, viewing angles, and overall image quality. From this comparison, Samsung performs very well in both areas. The protected section becomes extremely difficult to see from the side, while the rest of the screen largely maintains its normal brightness, viewing angles, and image quality. The Xiaomi 18 Pro shows a very different result. Its protected area still remains fairly visible from an angle, while the parts of the screen that are supposed to remain normal also suffer from reduced brightness and worse viewing angles. In other words, Xiaomi's current implementation appears to sacrifice a noticeable amount of normal display quality without achieving an equally strong privacy effect. Samsung's approach feels much more complete: strongly protect the areas that need privacy, while preserving the normal viewing experience everywhere else. This partial privacy test makes the difference between the two implementations very clear.show more

Even with Privacy Mode turned off, the Xiaomi 18 Pro still has noticeably narrower viewing angles than the Galaxy S26 Ultra. You can see it clearly in the video. That’s a bit unfortunate. Xiaomi has made the difference between Privacy Mode on and off relatively small. Even with it turned off, the display still retains some privacy-screen characteristics, so brightness and visibility drop noticeably when viewed from an angle. In other words, the normal mode still feels like it has a mild privacy filter applied. The upside is that the transition between the two modes is less dramatic. The trade-off is that even when you don’t need privacy protection at all, you still lose some viewing angle.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra display looks like absolute garbage next to the iQOO 16. Honestly, it looks like shit. The S26 Ultra uses M14 OLED, while the iQOO 16 has moved on to the newer M16 OLED, so the latter already has an advantage at the panel level. But the real disaster is Samsung’s privacy display design. Look at this comparison. The moment you tilt the S26 Ultra, the woman’s skin tone starts turning yellow and green. At wider angles, she almost looks like a ghost. Meanwhile, the iQOO 16 keeps her skin tone remarkably accurate, with excellent clarity and color consistency even from extreme angles. And please pay attention to this: I did NOT enable Privacy Display. This is the S26 Ultra in its normal display mode. The privacy feature is completely off, yet the viewing angles are already this bad. That means even if you never use Privacy Display at all, you still have to live with the side effects of this optical structure every single day. Tilt the phone a little and colors shift. Skin tones collapse. A flagship display that cannot even maintain basic color consistency at normal viewing angles is simply unacceptable. The first thing I checked after getting the iQOO 16 was its viewing angle performance, because this issue matters a lot to me. And honestly, I was so happy. This finally feels like a proper flagship OLED again. Then I looked back at my S26 Ultra and almost wanted to cry. Samsung has some of the best OLED technology in the world, and M14 OLED itself is perfectly capable of looking excellent. Yet Samsung sacrificed viewing angles, transparency, and color consistency for a privacy feature that most people will only use occasionally. Ruining hours of daily viewing quality for a feature you may need for a few minutes is absurd. I really hope other smartphone brands do not blindly copy this trend. Privacy protection can be achieved with software, accessories, or other solutions. Do not destroy the fundamentals of a great display for it. And this is exactly why I am already worried about the S27 Ultra. Even if Samsung upgrades it to M16 OLED, if it keeps the same privacy display structure, I do not expect it to match the clean, transparent, and consistent color performance of the iQOO 16. A great display should first get the basics right: accurate color, clarity, and viewing angles. If a normal human face turns yellow green the moment you tilt the phone, no advanced OLED material can save it.

Aster Chain mainnet is coming soon 🥷 Aster 🥷 When I think about privacy in crypto, the first image that comes to my mind is a protected palace. In this video: A trader is executing trades inside the palace. Bots try to track and hunt every transaction. But ninja warriors appear to defend the palace. They represent Aster Chain protecting the privacy of every trade. After the battle, the ninjas win, and the palace remains secure. Inside the palace, trading continues safely and privately, with every transaction protected from watching eyes. For me, that’s what privacy looks like: A powerful protection system that keeps every trade secure and unseen. Privacy looks like a fortress. #PrivacyLooksLike #AsterChain #Crypto #Web3 #Privacy #AIvideo

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.

Let me make one thing clear: even if we get a free review unit from Apple, we will always show both the PROS and CONS of the device. The Pixel 11 Pro was a review unit. We showed the Genshin Impact crash issue, and it was fixed later. The more we talk about real issues, the more attention they get from brands, and that can help them fix the problem. Just last week, we showed that Samsung had the worst sustained brightness in our test. At the same time, we showed that the iPhone 18 Pro Max had the best sustained brightness. It did not overheat or heavily dim the display. So if iOS has a bug, we will show it too. I’m a consumer just like you. Moving a Widget to another Home Screen page is a normal thing. Millions of iPhone users can do this. This is my LAST attempt to show this issue: iPhone 16 Pro Max: iOS 27.2 Beta iPhone 17 Pro Max: iOS 27.0.1 iPhone 18 Pro Max: iOS 27.0.1 The proof is right in front of you. We are not faking anything. We are simply showing what is happening on the phones. We will always show the good AND the bad, no matter which brand it is.

I am still very surprised there has not been an effort to search the desert areas for #NancyGuthrie. I previously showed an example of using drone still images to map entire areas and then applying specialized detection software. This is another example, using video captured from a drone and detection software programmed to identify humans and human remains. In this case, from a few months ago, I located this individual using that method. The deceased person was wearing clothing that blended into the environment and was largely concealed under brush, yet we were still able to detect the person while covering large areas of land from high altitudes with drones and specialized software. I feel the Sheriff’s Department and/or the family should consider this type of strategy in the areas with the highest probability of detection. #SAR

The Supreme Court justices ruled on Monday that constitutional privacy protections apply to cellphone location data. At issue was the police use of what's known as "geofence warrants" to locate all devices near the scene of a crime in 2019. The court ruled that, even when location information is shared with companies like Google and Apple, people don't forfeit their expectations of privacy. The case was widely viewed as a test for how privacy would be protected in this digital age.

Regardless of whether the 🍉 about Zhou Ye is true or not Entertainment Lawyer, Li Zhenwu make his legal opinion. “Do celebrities as public figures, lose their freedom to date and their right to privacy from being secretly filmed?” Normal dating isn’t an ILLEGAL things and doesn’t break the moral values, but secretly photographing celebrities' place outside the official works is ILLEGAL! According to relevant provisions of the Civil Code, privacy includes the tranquility of personal life and private spaces, activities, and information that one doesn’t wish to disclose. A person’s legitimate daily activities within their residence shouldn’t be photographed, recorded, or disseminated without authorization. In this case, the filming actions constitute multiple infringements: secretly filming intimate activities and peeping into private spaces from outside windows both constitute violations of privacy rights; filming and publicly disclosing the appearance of the individuals without permission also violates relevant laws regarding portrait rights.

$The privacy conversation in crypto has been stuck in 2019. Two camps shouting about whether people deserve to hide things… … while the constraints that actually decide this sit somewhere else entirely 👇🏻 ◢ No company can run payroll on a public ledger This is the boring commercial reason privacy matters and it gets almost no airtime. A business putting salaries, supplier terms and margins on a transparent chain hands its competitors a spreadsheet. Every institution that seriously looked at on-chain settlement hit this wall and went quietly back to settling off-chain. Confidentiality is a baseline requirement in normal commerce, and we built the one financial system that cannot provide it. ◢ Front-running needs an audience The part DeFi should care about most. Sandwich attacks work because your intent gets broadcast before it executes. So, a searcher reads your swap, jumps ahead of it, and sells it back to you at a worse price. Private execution deletes the thing being read. Privacy is a MEV defence, and that framing gets a fraction of the attention the compliance argument does. ◢ The first users get the worst privacy Any privacy system is only as strong as the crowd hiding inside it. With a few hundred users, timing and amounts correlate well enough to unpick a lot of the activity anyway. Early adopters carry real exposure while providing cover for everyone who shows up later. Anyone treating a young private network as bulletproof today has the maths backwards. ◢ A sealed chain with open edges Flawless privacy on-chain does nothing about the exits. Deposits and withdrawals still pass through venues that collect identity, and analytics firms are good at joining those dots. The technology closes the middle of the journey and leaves both ends roughly where they were. Genuinely useful, and much smaller than the marketing suggests. ◢ My take Opt-in privacy carries a design flaw nobody enjoys discussing. Choosing to hide marks you as somebody with a reason to hide, which is the exact attention you were trying to avoid. It only works when it arrives as the boring default that everyone gets without asking for it. So the metric worth watching next year sits away from proving times. How many wallets switch this on for people who never requested it, and whether any of them have the appetite to try.$

Last week in Miami was about one big conversation about the future of crypto… and somehow, every conversation kept leading back to Midnight! 🌙 Being there as a Night Force Leader was honestly such a special experience. Everywhere you turned, people were talking about privacy, compliance, and identity. The Midnight booth was packed nonstop. From builders and founders to institutions like ETF providers and MasterCard, everyone wanted to learn more about rational privacy, the Midnight Passport, and how Midnight is approaching programmable privacy in a completely different way. 💪 Beyond the tech, one of the best parts of the week was meeting so many amazing people from all over the world. I had the best time connecting with the Midnight community and seeing how bullish people are about the future of privacy on-chain. And one thing became very clear: the privacy narrative is no longer niche… It’s becoming essential for crypto mass adoption! 🔥

The loss of Roe was not only the loss of federally protected reproductive rights, but also medical privacy. This impacts everyone, even those who cheered for the loss of medical privacy rights. This is also why we are now seeing AGs threatening to prosecute women who travel to other states to access abortion and why the Biden administration had to create a new HIPAA rule to prevent gop states from accessing a woman's medical records who travel to another state for an abortion. Reproductive rights should be federally protected. Medical privacy should be federally protected. People are not the property of the state they live in.

🚨 Danny Goler: "If you use Apple Vision Pro and viewed while on DMT, the static symbolic code of reality becomes visible" 😱 "You all of a sudden have an image of the code if you're on DMT that is frozen. It's no longer moving. It's frozen." Researchers captured a high-resolution image of the laser band normally. When that same still image is loaded into Apple Vision Pro and viewed while on DMT, the static symbolic code becomes visible and remains completely frozen instead of running. The code only appears meaningful in the altered state. Without DMT the image looks ordinary. Custom software built for the Vision Pro lets participants click symbols in real time while their brain is scanned, registering exact coordinates and brain events. A radial menu offers the six most commonly reported symbols so reports can be labeled and compared. AI and the open repository at 'Veilbreak AI' are cataloging thousands of independent replications from people worldwide who have never spoken to each other. The frozen snapshot raises a clear question the team is now testing: is information actually present in the light field itself, or is it still a projection? This is the first time the phenomenon has been held still long enough for rigorous measurement.

🚨 Danny Goler: "If you use Apple Vision Pro and viewed while on DMT, the static symbolic code of reality becomes visible" 😱 "You all of a sudden have an image of the code if you're on DMT that is frozen. It's no longer moving. It's frozen." Researchers captured a high-resolution image of the laser band normally. When that same still image is loaded into Apple Vision Pro and viewed while on DMT, the static symbolic code becomes visible and remains completely frozen instead of running. The code only appears meaningful in the altered state. Without DMT the image looks ordinary. Custom software built for the Vision Pro lets participants click symbols in real time while their brain is scanned, registering exact coordinates and brain events. A radial menu offers the six most commonly reported symbols so reports can be labeled and compared.

The usefulness of the fibrillar pattern and pennation angle in the ultrasound diagnosis of muscle injury A 17-year-old patient who, while braking while playing football, feels a sharp pain in the anterolateral region of the proximal third of the thigh that prevents him from continuing to play sports. Typically, the axial plane (the short axis of the muscle) is used to study fibrillar tears, with a high diagnostic sensitivity. However, on many occasions, it can be easier to scan through the long axis of the muscle to visualize the different muscle fascicles and the pennation angle in their entirety, being able to make the diagnosis by observing the interruption and loss of tension of the muscle fascicles associated with the loss of the normal pennation angle. In the present case, the normal fibrillar pattern is initially visualized in the medial region of the rectus femoris muscle until the presence of a fibrillar tear in the posterolateral myofascial junction of its proximal third, where there is a sudden interruption of the fibrillar pattern due to the presence of an intramuscular hematoma.

"What is the cleanest way to compare Billions with other web3 identity layers and privacy layers?" The word privacy means a lot of things to a lot of different people. Often it is associated with consent, which is an action that you take that diminishes the privacy of a given set of data. Privacy is basically the process of information arbitrage, the selective disclosure of data in order to enable interactions. Although in a web2 environment, that "free" transaction of data often weighs very heavily to one side. When we talk about privacy at Billions Network, privacy is a static state, the absence of disclosure, or a way to describe the outcomes of mechanisms of data disclosure. We really focus on those instances where the selective disclosure of data is a question of legal compliance, of security, of financial value, where the decision to leverage this technology is not necessarily one of personal feelings, but rather of business efficiency, of compliance, and security. Source: Billions CEO Evin McMullen evin speaking at House of Chimera Spaces Event Dec 3, 2025 In an era where AI is rapidly evolving, the boundaries of identity and privacy are being rewritten. Don’t miss our next Billions event in Shenzhen, China 🇨🇳 🗓 Date & Time Dec 21 (Sun), 20:00–23:00 Join a relaxed evening to experience our privacy-preserving verification and dive into the future of human + AI privacy In collaboration with: TinTinLand (TinTinLand 中文), Asia’s leading Web3 platform for developer growth and ecosystem acceleration.

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 scrolling. This is one of the advantages of Samsung’s foldable experience. Samsung always gives users more control and more customization options, allowing each app to be displayed in the way that best fits their usage habits. A larger screen is not just about making everything bigger. It is about giving users more freedom to decide how they want to use that space.
