I spent days trying to trigger Android's battery drain alert, but my phone outsmarted me

15 September 2026 at 13:30

I was a massive science fiction fan growing up (I still am). I never imagined that one day I'd have a fully functioning computer that could do just about anything in my pocket. That tiny computer does a lot every single day. The fact that it runs on a battery is amazing. Unfortunately, some processes, apps, and usage can kill your battery fast. But if you're on Android, your phone probably has a hidden feature that will warn you when it happens.

iPhone Duo vs Galaxy Z Fold 8: The New Foldable Champion

13 September 2026 at 06:30

Samsung is the reigning champion of foldable phones for a reason: it pushes the category forward with strong designs. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is one of my favorite folding phones of all time, and it helped popularize the passport-style shape that's quickly taking over the mobile world.

I skipped RetroPie and turned an old Samsung phone into a TV-connectable emulation station

12 September 2026 at 13:30

A colleague recently went to see The Prodigy live, and it made me nostalgic about my old PlayStation. Wipeout 2097 was one of the first games I owned for the console, and the song Firestarter still makes me think of the futuristic racing game. I really want to play it again, but instead of setting up RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi, I used an old phone.

Top chipmakers embrace ASML’s $400M machines, agree to crucial chipmaking change

8 September 2026 at 15:12

Leading chipmakers Samsung Electronics and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. announced plans to adopt ASML’s latest chipmaking machines in the next several yearsβ€”and they also joined Intel in agreeing to a crucial technology change that could boost chip production on the new machines by 40 percent.

This signifies the semiconductor industry’s broader embrace of high NA EUV photolithography technology that can cost up to $400 million per machine and is only provided by the Dutch technology company ASML, Bloomberg reports. The technology would allow chip designers to implement even smaller features in potentially more powerful and efficient next-generation chips produced for AI data centers and consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

ASML’s EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography machines enable chipmakers to use powerful laser light to imprint patterns in silicon wafers, layer by layer, and gradually form the computer circuitry that makes silicon chips work. Compared to older deep ultraviolet lithography, EUV technology harnesses a more powerful source of light with a shorter wavelength to create even smaller features on silicon wafers.
