Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 review: Wider really is better
After seven generations, Samsung made a huge change to its flagship foldable phone this year: It split the line into two devices. Sitting at the very top is the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which looks and feels like a more refined version of last year's handset.

WhatsApp lance les appels vocaux et vidéo sur le web
WhatsApp annonce l’intégration des appels vocaux et vidéo pour sa version web, ainsi que des fonctionnalités comme le transfert d’appel ou la salle d’attente.

BMW tente un pari que presque tous ses concurrents ont abandonné : un cabriolet électrique
Le constat est presque sans appel : en France, le nombre de cabriolets électriques neufs commercialisables se compte sur les doigts d’une seule main, avec notamment la Maserati GranCabrio Folgore et le MG Cyberster. Et c’est à peu près tout si on met de côté la Fiat 500e cabriolet qui n’est pas du même calibre ou encore la Mini Cooper SE Cabriolet, produite à moins de 1 000 exemplaires en 2023. Ailleurs, les projets…

The EPA calls this one of the president's "commonsense approaches to regulating." The Trump administration just announced that it is exempting data centers from certain pollution limits that were originally mandated to prevent acid rain, according to a report by Reuters. Simply put, power plants that primarily serve data centers will not have to be part of the Clean Air Act's Acid Rain Program (ARP). These "islanded" power plants that serve data centers instead…
