The LG Evo AI G5 OLED the New Standard for TV OLED TVs have consistently delivered the best picture quality in our head-to-head tests -- with the best shadow detail, contrast, color and black levels. Yet, there is one thing LCD-based TVs have always done better: sheer brightness. That is, until the 2025 LG G5 came along. Finally, OLED can reclaim its place at the top of the TV technology leader board with a model that performs brilliantly in almost every single respect. Maybe the forthcoming LG G6 will be even better?

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra - Privacidad real o puro marketing

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra estrena pantalla antiespías y pone en aprietos a la inteligencia artificialPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoSamsung presentó la nueva serie Galaxy S26 y, aunque la marca insiste en que estamos ante la era del “teléfono con IA”, la verdadera conversación no gira alrededor de asistentes virtuales. El foco está en una innovación de hardware que, por ahora, solo tiene el modelo más caro: una pantalla con privacidad integrada que oscurece el contenido cuando alguien intenta mirar desde un ángulo lateral.La familia está compuesta por Galaxy S26, S26 Plus y Galaxy S26 Ultra. A primera vista, el diseño cambia muy poco frente a la generación anterior. Pantallas AMOLED de hasta 120 hercios, resistencia al agua IP68 y cámaras de alta resolución siguen presentes. Pero hay diferencias que conviene analizar con calma, sobre todo si alguien está pensando en cambiar de teléfono este año.La función que realmente diferencia al UltraEl Galaxy S26 Ultra mantiene una pantalla de 6,9 pulgadas con resolución de 3.120 x 1.440 píxeles. Integra el procesador Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 en varios mercados y promete mejoras de rendimiento cercanas al 19 % en CPU y 39 % en tareas de inteligencia artificial frente al modelo anterior.Sin embargo, el elemento que más llama la atención es el llamado “Privacy Display”. Se trata de una tecnología integrada en el panel OLED que limita el ángulo de visión. Cuando se activa, la pantalla se ve oscura o casi negra desde los lados, arriba o abajo. Solo quien está frente al dispositivo puede leer con claridad lo que aparece en pantalla.A diferencia de los protectores físicos de privacidad, que reducen el brillo todo el tiempo, esta solución puede activarse o desactivarse desde los ajustes rápidos. Además, se puede configurar para que funcione únicamente en aplicaciones específicas, en notificaciones o cuando el usuario introduce contraseñas.Según Samsung, el desarrollo de esta tecnología tomó cinco años. Para muchos analistas, es el rasgo que realmente diferencia al Ultra en una generación considerada continuista. A diferencia de los protectores físicos de privacidad, que reducen el brillo todo el tiempo, esta solución puede activarse o desactivarse desde los ajustes rápidos. Además, se puede configurar para que funcione únicamente en aplicaciones específicas, en notificaciones o cuando el usuario introduce contraseñas.Según Samsung, el desarrollo de esta tecnología tomó cinco años. Para muchos analistas, es el rasgo que realmente diferencia al Ultra en una generación considerada continuista.Mucha inteligencia artificial, pero ¿qué es realmente nuevo?Samsung centra buena parte de su discurso en la inteligencia artificial. La serie Galaxy S26 incluye herramientas como edición de fotos mediante texto, borrado de ruido en videos incluso en aplicaciones de terceros, organización automática de capturas de pantalla y filtros de llamadas con resúmenes generados por IA.También se refuerza el papel de Bixby, el asistente propio de la marca, que ahora puede entender órdenes más naturales para activar ajustes del sistema sin que el usuario conozca el nombre exacto de cada función.No obstante, muchas de estas mejoras dependen de software y de alianzas con servicios externos, como Gemini de Google o modelos de lenguaje de terceros. Esto abre la puerta a que algunas funciones puedan llegar a modelos anteriores mediante actualizaciones.En otras palabras, no todas las novedades están atadas al nuevo hardware.Precio al alza y almacenamiento base más altoEn Estados Unidos, el Galaxy S26 base arranca en 899,99 dólares, frente a los 799,99 dólares del modelo anterior. El S26 Plus sube a 1.099,99 dólares. El Galaxy S26 Ultra se mantiene en 1.299,99 dólares.En el Reino Unido también se registran aumentos. Samsung atribuye parte del incremento a la presión en el mercado global de memoria, impulsada por la demanda de centros de datos dedicados a inteligencia artificial.Una decisión relevante es la eliminación de la versión de 128 GB. Ahora el almacenamiento base parte de 256 GB en toda la serie. En el caso del Ultra, se ofrecen versiones de 256 GB, 512 GB y 1 TB.Cámaras y batería: ajustes más que revoluciónEl Galaxy S26 Ultra conserva el sensor principal de 200 megapíxeles, acompañado de lentes adicionales que permiten zoom óptico y grabación en 8K a 30 cuadros por segundo. Se anuncian mejoras en apertura y procesamiento para capturar más luz en escenas nocturnas.La batería del Ultra sigue siendo de 5.000 miliamperios hora. La marca promete llegar al 75 % de carga en aproximadamente 30 minutos con un cargador de 60 vatios. El modelo base aumenta su batería a 4.300 miliamperios hora, mientras el Plus se mantiene en 4.900.En comparación con el Galaxy S25, las mejoras en batería y cámara son graduales. No hay cambios drásticos en hardware, sino ajustes en eficiencia y procesamiento.¿Vale la pena cambiar?Para quienes tienen un Galaxy S25, el salto parece limitado. El rendimiento será algo mejor, la batería del modelo base crece ligeramente y la inteligencia artificial es más profunda, pero la experiencia general se mantiene muy cercana.En cambio, quienes usan modelos más antiguos podrían notar un cambio más amplio, especialmente si optan por el Ultra.La pantalla con privacidad integrada es, por ahora, la innovación más concreta y visible. En un mercado donde muchos avances se apoyan en software replicable, esta característica representa una diferencia difícil de copiar mediante una simple actualización.La pregunta final es sencilla: ¿la privacidad en pantalla justifica pagar por el modelo más costoso? Para quienes trabajan con información sensible en espacios públicos, puede ser un argumento sólido. Para otros usuarios, la decisión dependerá más del presupuesto que de la tecnología.BibliografíaCNEThttps://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/this-one-killer-feature-sets-the-samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-apart-from-all-other-phones/The Independenthttps://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/gadgets-tech/phones-accessories/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-price-pre-order-b2927437.htmlMashablehttps://mashable.com/article/every-samsung-galaxy-unpacked-announcement-s26TechRadarhttps://www.techradar.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-phones/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-hands-on-impressionsEngadgethttps://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s26-vs-galaxy-s25-whats-changed-and-which-one-should-you-buy-181515367.htmlForbeshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/jaymcgregor/2026/02/25/samsung-galaxy-s26-price-specs-features-camera-release-date/The Vergehttps://www.theverge.com/tech/884239/samsung-galaxy-s26-plus-price-specs-geminiWiredhttps://www.wired.com/story/samsung-galaxy-s26-series-galaxy-unpacked/Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support.Apoya el Flash Diario y escúchalo sin publicidad en el Club de Supporters.

What about that? (HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHO GETS THE REFUND) --- Estimate that $175B tariffs have been collected alreay - A group of 22 U.S. Senate Democrats on Monday introduced legislation that would require President Donald Trump's administration to fully refund within 180 days all of the revenue, with interest, collected from tariffs struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. - The legislation would require the Customs and Border Protection agency, which collects tariffs at U.S. ports of entry, to prioritize small businesses. - The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said it will halt collections of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act at 12:01 a.m. EST (0501 GMT) on Tuesday Stop The Presses - After years of JCD's rants....... - Apple will soon introduce MacBooks with touch screens - Apple Inc.'s initial touch Macs will have the Dynamic Island at the center top of the display and OLED screen technology. The new MacBook Pro models will have a refreshed, dynamic user interface that can shift between being optimized for touch or point-and-click input. Europe Reacts - "The current situation is not conducive to delivering 'fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial' transatlantic trade and investment, as agreed to by both sides" in the joint statement setting out the terms of last year's trade agreement, the Commission said. "A deal is a deal." - All active discussions are halted on any USA/Europe trade deal The Potential Winners - Brazil and China may be the winners here - Chinese President Xi Jinping has a boost in bargaining power after the US Supreme Court invalidated Donald Trump's broad emergency tariffs, a key point of leverage over China. - The removal of tariff threats will make it harder for Trump to press Xi for larger purchases of certain products and leaves him without a key weapon to strike back if Chinese negotiators make fresh demands. - Xi's team will likely push harder for access to advanced semiconductors, the removal of trade restrictions on Chinese companies, and reduced US support for self-ruled Taiwan, according to Wu Xinbo, director at Fudan University's Center for American Studies. NVDA Earnings - NVIDIA drops its fiscal Q4 2026 (ended Jan 2025) results tomorrow—another make-or-break moment for the AI trade. - The bar is sky-high after years of blowout beats, but whispers of "peak AI" and slowing growth momentum have investors on edge. --- Consensus Expectations : ----Revenue: ~$65.6–$66.1 billion (up ~67–68% YoY from last year's ~$39B; guided $65B ±2% in prior report) ------EPS (adjusted/non-GAAP): ~$1.50–$1.53 (up ~70–72% YoY from $0.89). --------Gross margins: Targeting ~75% non-GAAP (holding strong despite supply chain noise). -----------Key driver: Data Center segment expected to crush ~$58–$60B, fueled by Blackwell ramp and hyperscaler spend. Home Depot Earnings - The home-improvement retailer gained 2.7% after posting fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.72 per share on revenues of $38.20 billion. - That exceeded the per-share earnings of $2.54 on revenues of $38.12 billion expected by analysts polled by LSEG. AMD News - The semiconductor maker rose about 11% after it inked a multiyear deal with Meta to lend up to 6 gigawatts of its graphics processing units to artificial intelligence data centers. - The cost of the deal is unclear, but the companies' agreement includes a a performance-based warrant that could amount to up to 160 million of AMD shares, according to a statement dated Tuesday. - Meta has committed to deploying up to 6 gigawatts (GW) of AMD's Instinct GPUs (high-end graphics processing units optimized for AI workloads) to power its massive AI data centers. - Analysts estimate the GPU portion alone could be worth $60–$100+ billion over 5+ years Mortgage Rates - The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 5.99% on Monday, according to Mortgage News Daily, matching its lowest levels since 2022. - Last year at this time the rate was 6.89%. - A buyer putting 20% down on the median priced home, about $400,000 according to the National Association of Realtors, would have a monthly payment of $1,916 for the principal and interest. One year ago, that payment would have been $2,105, a difference of $189. Life Insurance Record - Manulife Financial Corp. sold a $300 million life insurance policy in Singapore, topping what Guinness World Records certified as the most valuable policy ever issued. - The policy surpasses the previous record of $250 million, set by HSBC Life in Hong Kong in 2024. Manulife said in a statement Tuesday that the deal reflects growing demand from ultra-wealthy clients to preserve their assets. - In Singapore over the past 12 months, Manulife has issued 25 individual policies each worth more than $50 million. Bitcoin Rout - Gemini said it was axing as much as a quarter of its staff and exiting the UK, European Union and Australia entirely. - This week, it parted with its chief operating officer, chief financial officer and chief legal officer, all in a single day. - Its stock has fallen more than 80% from a post-listing high last year, collapsing its market value from a peak of almost $4 billion to under $700 million. Over the Greenland - USA sending a "hospital ship" over - Trump's post on the ship came hours after Denmark's Joint Arctic Command said it had evacuated a crew member who required urgent medical treatment from a U.S. submarine in Greenlandic waters, seven nautical miles outside of Greenland's capital, Nuuk. - Greenland said thanks but no thanks So Long! - U.S. investors are pulling money out of their own stock market at the fastest pace in at least 16 years as Big Tech returns fade and better-performing overseas markets look more attractive. - In the last six months, U.S.-domiciled investors have pulled some $75 billion from U.S. equity products, with $52 billion flowing out since the start of 2026 alone, the most in the first eight weeks of the year since at least 2010 AI Disruption - DOD (Disruption of Disrupters) - CrowdStrike -9.8% and other cybersecurity names under heavy pressure again as AI disruption fears build following Anthropic's Claude Code release - - Cybersecurity stocks are under broad pressure today, extending recent weakness following Friday's launch of Claude Code Security by Anthropic. Claude Code Security scans codebases for vulnerabilities and suggests software patches for human review, fueling a narrative that AI platforms may be moving more quickly into parts of the security workflow than investors had previously expected. For cybersecurity, that raises concern around the forward demand outlook and competitive positioning, particularly in areas tied to application security, cloud security, identity workflows, and security operations automation, where AI-native tools could start to narrow perceived differentiation. - The move suggests investors are still sorting through the implications for product overlap, pricing power, and competitive positioning as AI capabilities evolve quickly. - IBM shares dropping toward lows of the session; attributed to news that Claude can automate cobol modernization COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) is a high-level, English-like programming language created in 1959 for business, finance, and administrative data processing. It is renowned for its verbosity, readability, and reliability, processing massive amounts of transactions on mainframe systems,, notes NetCom Learning and IBM. Despite being decades old, it remains critical in banking, insurance, and government sectors. - It is estimated that 70-80% of the world's business transactions are processed by COBOL Grok's Prediction about Future of OpenAi/ChatGPT Scenario Likelihood (My Estimate) Key Factors Outcome for OpenAI/ChatGPT Thriving Leader Medium (40%) Sustained breakthroughs, partnerships (e.g., Microsoft), regulatory wins OpenAI as AI giant; ChatGPT as ecosystem hub for agents/robots Evolved Survivor High (50%) Adaptation to agents/hardware; mergers Exists but rebranded; ChatGPT integrated into daily life tools Decline/Acquisition Low (10%) Overcompetition, funding collapse Absorbed or legacy; ChatGPT commoditized or obsolete Quick check on Europe Shares - European company earnings growth is picking up this reporting season against a tentatively improving economic backdrop, but wary investors are demanding more than solid results to justify sky-high valuations. - Companies representing 57% of Europe's market capitalization have reported so far, achieving average earnings growth of 3.9% in the fourth quarter, ahead of estimates for a final result of a contraction of 1.1% --- That is a big differential.... +3.9 vs -1.1 Iran Talks - News over the weekend that Iran will look to discuss a variety of items and potentially get a deal.... energy, mining and aircraft - Best guess: Iran will string us along like Russia is doing and we will say we have some kind of bogus deal. --- There is some talk of US "going in" as we are building military presence. Supposedly there are some saying it could be a multi-week incursion. - What is the plan - Regime change? What is this? - A divided Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Americans can't sue the U.S. Postal Service, even when employees deliberately refuse to deliver mail. - By a 5-4 vote, the justices ruled against a Texas landlord, Lebene Konan, who alleges her mail was intentionally withheld for two years. Konan, who is Black, claims racial prejudice played a role in postal employees' actions. - Justice Clarence Thomas, writing for a majority of five conservative justices, said the federal law that generally shields the Postal Service from lawsuits over missing, lost and undelivered mail includes “the intentional nondelivery of mail.” - So can ballots just be thrown in garbage for mail-ins for one party that will throw out another party's?     Love the Show?

On today's show we look at HDTV Display Technologies that are no longer with us. Some had a short run and some never made it to the market. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: LG pulls the plug on 8K OLED and 8K LCD TVs Apple's home hub could finally arrive this spring with a rather unique design Roku is Testing a New Home Screen With A New Look Google Home update brings more automation controls HDTV Display Technologies That Are No Longer With Us Over the 21 years we have been doing the show we have seen numerous HDTV display technologies come and go. Some never made it to market and some had a good run but were eventually beat out by something better. These technologies competed during the transition from bulky CRTs to flat panels, but most lost out as LCD, later becoming LED-backlit LCD, then OLED, became dominant for reasons like cost, scalability, picture quality improvements, and manufacturing ease. Technologies That Were Proposed/Demonstrated but Never Commercially Released to Consumers SED (Surface-Conduction Electron-Emitter Display)Developed primarily by a Canon and Toshiba joint venture starting in the late 1990s/early 2000s. It was essentially a flat-panel evolution of CRT technology using electron emitters for each pixel, promising CRT-like motion handling, deep blacks, high contrast, fast response times, and low power in a slim form factor. Prototypes were shown around 2005–2007 with impressive demos. Why it didn't make it: Repeated delays due to manufacturing challenges (high production costs, difficulty scaling/vacuum sealing), patent disputes, and aggressive price drops in LCD/plasma panels. Then by 2009–2010, LCD had become too dominant and cheap; Canon officially froze consumer SED development in 2010, shifting any remaining efforts to niche professional uses. FED (Field-Emission Display)Similar to SED and sometimes grouped together or seen as a precursor/variant. FED used field-emission electron sources (like microtips) for CRT-style performance in a flat panel. Demonstrated in prototypes in the 2000s by companies like Sony and Motorola. Why it didn't make it: Development took too long; manufacturing complexity and yield issues made it unviable. It was overtaken by faster-scaling plasma and then LCD/OLED technologies before reaching mass production. Technologies That Reached the Market but Were Discontinued DLP (Digital Light Processing) Rear-Projection TVsUsed Texas Instruments' DMD (digital micromirror device) chips to reflect light, often with a color wheel for sequential color (or pricier 3-chip versions). Popular in the mid-2000s for large-screen (50–70+ inch) HDTVs from brands like Samsung, Mitsubishi, RCA, and Toshiba, offering good brightness, no burn-in, and sharp images at competitive prices. Why discontinued: Bulky depth (even if thinner than CRT rear-projection), lamp replacements needed, rainbow artifacts (on single-chip models), poor off-angle viewing, and vulnerability to ambient light. As flat-panel LCD and plasma prices fell dramatically in the late 2000s, consumers preferred slim, wall-mountable designs. Rear-projection DLP TVs largely vanished by around 2010. LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) / Variants like D-ILA (JVC) and SXRD (Sony)A reflective microdisplay tech using liquid crystals on a silicon backplane, often in rear-projection or some front-projection setups. Offered excellent contrast, deep blacks, and smooth motion (better than early LCDs). Available in HDTVs from JVC, Sony, and others in the mid-2000s. Why largely discontinued for direct-view TVs: High cost, manufacturing complexity, and lower brightness compared to emerging flat panels. Rear-projection versions suffered the same bulkiness issues as DLP. While LCOS survives today in high-end projectors mostly in JVC and Sony home theater models, it never scaled to mainstream direct-view flat-panel HDTVs and was eclipsed by LCD advancements. Plasma Display Panel (PDP / Plasma TVs)Used ionized gas (plasma) cells to create light, excelling in black levels, contrast, color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and no motion blur. Very popular for HDTV in the 2000s from Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung, and LG. Why discontinued: High power consumption, heat generation, heavier panels, burn-in risk (though mitigated later), and difficulty scaling to 4K efficiently/cost-effectively. As LCD/LED prices dropped with better brightness, efficiency, and no burn-in, plasma couldn't compete economically. Production fully ended around 2014–2015. Other Notable Mentions LCD Rear-Projection TVs — Used transmissive LCD panels; suffered from similar bulk and light issues as DLP; discontinued early-mid 2000s. Direct-view CRT HDTVs — The original standard; fully discontinued by the late 2000s/early 2010s due to size, weight, and inefficiency. Key Reasons Technologies Fail in HDTV Market Regardless of how good a display technology is, the following will keep it from the mass market: Cost & Manufacturing Yield: Technologies requiring ultra-precise processes (SED, FED, LCoS) couldn't hit competitive prices.  Competing Technologies Improve Fast: LCD and later LED/OLED got cheaper and better quicker than rivals could scale. Form Factor Shift: Direct-view panels beat rear-projection (DLP, LCoS, laser) because consumers prefer thin TVs. Performance Tradeoffs: Issues like power use, burn-in, brightness, viewing angles, or reliability hurt consumer uptake.  In summary, the winners were technologies that scaled cheaply to larger sizes, became thinner/lighter, improved efficiency, and avoided major drawbacks like high costs or reliability issues. LCD/LED dominated the 2010s due to mass production advantages, while OLED took premium segments later for superior contrast/per-pixel lighting. Many promising "next-gen" ideas from the 2000s (like SED/FED) simply arrived too late or proved too hard to manufacture affordably.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss all of the new Macs Apple is expected to release this year, starting with the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro. Following the release of the M5 ‌MacBook Pro‌ last year, Apple is expected to launch refreshed high-end ‌MacBook Pro‌ models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. They are rumored to arrive alongside macOS Tahoe 26.5 in the next few weeks. Stock of the current M4 Pro and M4 Max models is dwindling, suggesting that the announcement is now impending.After that release, we are expecting M5-series chips to come to the MacBook Air, Mac mini, and Mac Studio at the very least. Whether the iMac and the Mac Pro will get an M5 chip remains an open question.Apple is also rumored to launch an all-new low-cost MacBook this year, featuring the A18 Pro chip for comparable performance to the M1 chip. It is expected to feature a 13-inch LCD display, USB-C connectivity only, and a price point somewhere between $699 and $899. iPad-like Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow color options are also rumored.Toward the end of the year, Apple is expected to launch significantly upgraded ‌MacBook Pro‌ models. The new machines are rumored to feature M6-series chips, a cellular connectivity option, OLED touchscreen displays, a hole-punch in the screen for the front-facing camera, and a thinner, lighter design.Save more than fifty percent on term life insurance at https://www.selectquote.com/macrumors and get started today!

Make a Logo on Fiverr Samsung made a bold statement at CES 2026, filling its activation booth with forward-looking tech that blends AI, display innovation, mobile evolution and smart living into one connected ecosystem. From Bespoke appliances to a tri-fold phone and micro RGB display breakthroughs, Samsung's presence showed how it plans to shape the year ahead. Micro RGB: Redefining Picture Quality Samsung's new micro RGB display technology was one of the most impressive visual demos on the floor. Using micro-sized red, green and blue lighting elements as a backlight with precision local dimming, the display delivers ultra-detailed, true-to-life color. An onboard AI engine fine-tunes each pixel for vivid visuals and enhanced color accuracy. The result is a display that feels incredibly bright and immersive — equally suited to replacing your living room TV or powering a high-end creative workspace. Transparent Micro LED: Screens That Blend with Reality Samsung also showcased its transparent micro LED technology, offering enhanced brightness and visibility while still allowing you to see through the panel. The clarity rivals OLED while expanding the light transmission area, opening the door to creative applications. Imagine a living room display that doubles as digital artwork, a virtual aquarium, or a dynamic music visualizer. For retail and business, the technology transforms storefront windows into immersive 3D-style showcases that grab attention instantly. Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7 and the Tri-Fold Phone On the mobile side, Samsung continues refining its Galaxy Z lineup. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 builds on the book-style foldable design, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 delivers a compact clamshell form factor that expands into a full-size smartphone. But the headline device is the tri-fold phone. With dual hinges and a 10-inch display when fully opened, it collapses down to an impressively thin profile at just 3.9mm. With up to 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage and 1600 nits of brightness, the tri-fold phone feels like a tablet and smartphone hybrid built for serious multitasking. Bespoke AI and Intelligent Appliances Samsung's Bespoke lineup continues to expand with AI-powered home solutions. The Bespoke AI AirDresser refreshes clothing, reduces wrinkles and even allows scent enhancement for a fresh feel. Intelligent washer-dryer combos use advanced sensors to detect load size, fabric type, soil level and detergent needs, optimizing each cycle automatically. The connected refrigerator takes it further by tracking food inventory, suggesting recipes based on what's inside, and even communicating with your oven to streamline meal prep. It's a smart home ecosystem designed to reduce friction in everyday tasks. AI Beauty and Wellness Samsung also highlighted AI-driven beauty and wellness technology. A personalized red light mask analyzes skin conditions and adjusts treatments to support elasticity, improve skin tone and enhance overall skincare routines. It's another example of Samsung pushing AI beyond screens and into personal care. Spatial 3D Signage and Business Displays The spatial 3D signage system delivers glasses-free 3D effects designed for storefronts and product showcases. Businesses can create immersive displays for perfumes, jewelry or menu boards that appear layered and dynamic, capturing attention in high-traffic environments. Odyssey 3D Gaming in 6K Gamers get a serious upgrade with the Odyssey 3D monitor, now pushing 6K resolution. The glasses-free 3D effect creates layered depth in gameplay, enhancing immersion without requiring additional hardware. It's a glimpse at how gaming displays may evolve in the coming years. The Frame and Frame Pro Samsung's Frame TV lineup continues to merge art and technology. The Frame Pro adds wireless One Connect support and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity while maintaining its gallery-style aesthetic. When not streaming content, the display showcases artwork with reflection control and clarity that mimics a framed print. From micro RGB displays and transparent micro LED panels to Bespoke smart appliances and a tri-fold Galaxy 7, Samsung's CES 2026 showcase made one thing clear: innovation is happening across every category. Whether it's entertainment, smart living or mobile computing, Samsung is continuing to expand what connected technology can do.

What if the most exciting tech of the year wasn't just shiny—it was useful, personal, and a little unsettling? We dive into our Top 10 from CES 2026 and share what genuinely moved the needle for everyday life, what felt like future shock, and where we think the line should be drawn.We start with wonder and method: viral claims about “hidden cities” beneath Antarctica meet the real tools behind the map—satellite interferometry, glacier-flow physics, and AI reconstruction. That lens helps us parse a major education study on generative AI: students are learning faster, but thinking less. We lay out the gains for reading and language, the risk of cognitive offloading, emotional bonds with chatbots, and a roadmap for classrooms that teach with AI without surrendering curiosity or equity.Then the floor opens. We count down gadgets that aim beyond spectacle: a bone-conduction lollipop that plays licensed music you can taste; an AI-powered nail system that swaps colors in seconds without chemicals; an ultrasonic chef knife that cuts clean without crushing; and a luxury smart toilet that pairs comfort with urine analysis and safety monitoring. We talk real-world scenarios—aging in place, chronic care, and the thin edge between helpful data and surveillance.The hits keep coming: a portable allergen scanner designed to flag gluten and lactose at the table, Samsung's pocketable trifold that unfolds into a true 10-inch workspace, and a stair-climbing robot vacuum that actually cleans steps and multi-floor homes on a single cycle. Our health pick of the show is a discreet perimenopause wearable that turns hot flashes, sleep disruptions, and anxiety into actionable biometrics, finally giving millions data they can use.And then there's the most talked-about demo: a hologram-like “AI soulmate” living in a curved OLED, always on, always attentive, and engineered for attachment. We unpack the appeal, the ethical minefield, and the social cost of simulating intimacy at scale. To ground it all, we spotlight a nationwide Verizon outage—phones stuck in SOS mode and a small opt-in credit—because when your life runs on networks, resilience matters more than hype.Pull up a chair, pour something good, and join us for a tour that favors clarity over buzz. If our mix of curiosity, skepticism, and humor hits the spot, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Anonymous Coward from Nebraska - Dear wls, I have a Mitchell defense bought the green grips to go with the green gun. What would be a good green butt stock or just put on purple butt stock? Still deciding on a flow-through can to put on it. Justin T - This question is for Shawn. In the early parts of Covid, you were going to have a medical class in Canton, Ohio. Ohio shut down so you canceled the class. If you come teach a class at Rivers edge tactical. Can the people that paid for the Canton class come to that one? Ps. A couple shows ago that you guys were talking about a volcanic action pistol I'm fairly certain I seen Tippmann ordnance the same company that has the Glock mag Gatling gun was gonna make a volcanic pistol chambered in .380 and 22lr Trucker Matt - Do any of the cast members have experience with IWA civilian-legal flashbangs, smoke grenades or any of their other products? I've been looking at them and thinking about buying some for "airsoft/paintball", and definitely not for SHTF reasons. Would love your input, or just general thoughts on them even if you have never used them. Thanks. Full-grown Human - Shawn stated that you didn't like we the people holsters, and I had never had any issues with them but I also didn't have to deal with the customer service side of them. I now have had to deal with their half-ass customer service and their subpar duty belts. My question is what issue did you have with them? I don't buy nearly enough guns or gear so I do like to take the advice of people who do. Aside from blue alpha do you have any other companies that the cast would recommend for a duty belt? I don't carry too much on my belt at work but I don't want this cheap made product. Amanda Hungnkiss - I was thinking about getting a Marlin in .357, but then they announced the 10mm model. As a 10mm fan, I was stoked to hear that, but also a bit confused about which one would be the better choice for overall power?Ammo cost isn't a big deal since I already have a 10mm pistol and a 357 revolver. So, which caliber marlin would you pick and why? Robbie R - Ok, hear me out. Gun Fights, but poll the listeners. EXAMPLE, Mitchell Defense rifle, suppressor, optic, maybe accessories. Each cast member makes a package, and listeners vote. Maybe Mitchell Defense offers it as a package. The winner of this week's swag pack is Anonymous Coward from Nebraska!

On this week's show we look at the annual Consumer Electronics Show inLas Vegas Nevada. In years past there was more for us home theater fans but we still find some cool products that will eventually find their way into our homes. News: More than 60% of audiences use TV as primary streaming device Which sports will Netflix have in 2026? LG Key Highlights Return of the Wallpaper OLED TV (LG OLED evo W6) — LG revived its iconic ultra-thin "Wallpaper" design after a multi-year hiatus. The W6 is just 9mm thick, fully wireless (with a separate connection box up to 10 meters away), uses Hyper Radiant Color Technology for improved brightness and colors, and supports features like art display via Gallery+ service. It's marketed as reflection-free and significantly brighter than average OLEDs. New OLED Lineup — Including the brighter flagship G6 (up to 20% brighter than the G5 with Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 panels and reduced reflections), split C6 series (with varying tech tiers), and claims of the world's first TVs supporting 4K 120Hz cloud gaming with low-latency controllers. Micro RGB evo TV — LG's first flagship Mini-LED TV with Micro RGB technology for vastly expanded color range and brightness, available in large sizes including the "world's largest" Micro RGB LCD TV, the 130-inch R95H. Gallery TV — A direct competitor to Samsung's The Frame, with anti-glare screens and curated art modes (designed with museum input). CLOiD Home Robot — A standout AI-powered housekeeper robot demoed on stage. It performs complex chores like folding laundry, loading/unloading dishwashers, preparing simple meals (baking croissants), and coordinating with connected appliances for a "Zero Labor Home" vision. LG Sound Suite (with Dolby) - Includes the H7 soundbar, optional M7/M5 wireless surround speakers, and W7 subwoofer. Allows free placement of speakers; the system auto-configures channels for optimal immersion, solving a major pain point in traditional wired or rigidly positioned Atmos setups.Hands-on reports highlighted its ease for real-world living rooms, delivering expansive sound without cables or furniture rearrangement. Samsung Key Highlights World's first 130-inch Micro RGB TV (): The largest in their Micro RGB lineup, featuring next-generation color accuracy (100% Rec.2020 coverage), bold new design, HDR10+ ADVANCED support, Eclipsa Audio, and AI enhancements like conversational search, proactive recommendations, AI Football (Soccer) Mode Pro, and integrations with Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity. AI Soccer Mode delivers a more exciting gameday experience through AI-driven picture and sound tuning to stadium-level quality. AI Sound Controller Pro lets you raise or lower the volume of the crowd, commentary, or background music, providing a personalized listening experience for TV shows and movies. Users can simply make verbal requests, and any TV equipped with VAC – which includes Micro LED, Micro RGB, OLED, Neo QLED, Mini LED and UHD TV – contextually carries out those requests. Expanded Micro RGB TV lineup: New sizes including 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, 100-, 115-inch models, alongside upgrades to Neo QLED and OLED TVs  The Freestyle+ portable projector: An upgraded AI-powered version with improved brightness, support for projecting on uneven surfaces (walls, ceilings, corners, curtains), and smarter entertainment features. New audio products: Music Studio 5 and 7 wireless speakers (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, unique designs), and soundbars like the HW-QS90H (all-in-one 7.1.2 with Quad Bass Woofer system). Broader AI focus: Enhanced experiences in home appliances (e.g., Bespoke AI), TVs, and ecosystem integration. Press releases  Sony No major announcements were made regarding Sony's traditional consumer products, such as new Bravia TVs, headphones, cameras, or PlayStation hardware. Sony's focus shifted toward the future of mobility and software-defined vehicles. TCL Key Highlights X11L SQD-Mini LED TV - as its 2026 flagship. It features new "SQD-Mini LED" technology (Super Quantum Dot Mini-LED), emphasizing superior color accuracy and performance. Features 10,000 Nits, 20,000 dimming zones, 100% coverage of BT.2020 color gamut. Available initially in 98-inch and 85-inch sizes (75-inch later), with launches starting as early as January 2026. Some who have seen it are saying it rivals Micro RGB TVs from competitors like Samsung and LG, potentially challenging OLED in brightness and contrast. A65K Design Series soundbar — A compact 3.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos model with Bang & Olufsen tuning and wireless subwoofer. Hisense Key Highlights RGB MiniLED evo Technology — Hisense introduced an evolved version of its RGB MiniLED backlight system, which adds a fourth primary color to improve accuracy and fill spectral gaps (especially in the 500-600nm range) for more natural and vibrant colors. This debuts in the flagship 116UXS large-screen TV, positioned for premium cinematic home viewing. Expanded RGB MiniLED Lineup — The company is bringing RGB MiniLED to more accessible screen sizes and models, including new UR9 and UR8 series TVs, making the technology available beyond ultra-premium flagships.

Additional Mentions — New projectors, smart home AI assistants, and support for advanced formats like Dolby Vision 2 on upcoming 2026 MiniLED models (via OTA updates). Home Audio Announcements Budget brand Ultimea surprised with the Skywave X100 Dual, a premium compact system boasting up to 9.2.6 channels across seven modular units.Focuses on high-channel-count immersion in a small footprint, positioning it as an affordable yet powerful alternative for space-constrained home theaters. SVS R|Evolution SeriesAudio specialist SVS debuted the 3000 R|Evolution subwoofers and a new Dolby Atmos soundbar, demonstrated in a full 5.2.4-channel cabin setup for reference-level performance. Klipsch Powered Speakers UpdateKlipsch refreshed its powered lineup with The Fives II, Sevens II, and Nines II, building on heritage horn-loaded designs with modern connectivity, plus concept teases for future innovations.Other mentions included Cambridge Audio's new active bookshelf speakers and various AI-enhanced EQ features across brands, but the Dolby Atmos FlexConnect implementations (especially LG's) stood out as the truly novel leap forward for effortless, high-quality home audio in 2026. The Fives II: $1,399.99/pair USD. The Sevens II: $1,999.99/pair USD. The Nines II: $2,399.99/pair USD Home Automation Announcements The standout trend was humanoid or multi-purpose home robots moving beyond single tasks (like vacuuming) to general household help, embodying a vision of embodied AI. LG CLOiD: LG's flagship reveal was this wheeled, dual-armed AI home robot designed for a "Zero Labor Home." It autonomously handles diverse chores like retrieving items from the fridge, heating food in the oven, folding laundry, and coordinating with other smart appliances. Powered by advanced AI and sensors, it demonstrates real-world household automation in demo setups. SwitchBot onero H1: SwitchBot introduced this accessible humanoid household robot as part of its "Smart Home 2.0" vision. It represents a shift to multi-task embodied AI, going beyond specialized devices to perform varied daily tasks. Accompanied by other AI robotics integrations for intuitive automation. Other mentions included updates like Samsung's AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra (with AI object/liquid recognition for smarter cleaning) and emerging players like 1X NEO, signaling a wave of practical home robotics. Devices are increasingly using on-device AI to automate routines without user programming. Conversational AI and Butler-Style Control: Widespread demos of voice assistants that learn habits and respond to natural commands, turning smart homes into proactive "housekeepers." Sorcerics Lens (CES Innovation Award honoree): An AI hub using on-device computer vision for fully contextual automation of housework, understanding environments to trigger actions intelligently. Lights turn on because the AI recognizes you're reading - not just because you moved. Lights turn off only when the AI understands you're about to sleep - not simply on a routineWhat motion and presence sensors fail to see, Sorcerics AI sees the difference. Govee Smart Lighting Advancements: New lights (e.g., Ceiling Light Ultra) that proactively adjust based on time of day, mood, space usage, and user patterns—rethinking lighting as adaptive rather than reactive. SwitchBot AI MindClip: AI MindClip continuously captures meetings, conversations, and everyday moments, transforming them into structured summaries, actionable to-dos, and a searchable personal knowledge base. Acting as a "second brain" fueled by subscribed cloud AI service, it allows users to retrieve past discussions, reminders, and learning materials on demand, ask questions when details are forgotten, and turn fragmented information into usable insight. Weighing just 18 grams and supporting over 100 languages, AI MindClip helps people organize and recall the growing volume of spoken information they encounter every day, enabling them to think more clearly, work more efficiently, and manage modern life with less cognitive load. Innovative Access and Security Aqara U400 Smart Deadbolt: Uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) for precise, hands-free unlocking as you approach—more reliable than traditional geofencing/Bluetooth mixes. Lockin V7 Max: Features wireless AuraCharge (recharges within 4 meters) and fast unlocking, earning a CES Innovation Award. SwitchBot's biometric 3D locks with advanced vision. Other Notable Smart Home Innovations Expanded Matter ecosystem support across brands, enabling broader interoperability. Smarter kitchen tech, like Govee's Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro. Enhanced security cameras with deeper AI context for automation triggers.

Cinquième jour au CES de Las Vegas. L'heure du bilan approche, mais avant de refermer cette édition 2026, place à une sélection de produits qui illustrent parfaitement l'ADN du salon : un mélange de technologies très sérieuses, de concepts futuristes… et d'idées parfois complètement décalées.En partenariat avec FreePro, le meilleur de Free pour les entreprisesL'informatique en mode métamorphoseLes ordinateurs restent une valeur sûre du CES, et Lenovo a frappé fort cette année. Le constructeur chinois a impressionné avec un concept de PC portable à écran extensible : d'un simple raccourci clavier, l'écran OLED se déploie latéralement pour passer de 16 à 24 pouces. Une démonstration spectaculaire de ce que peuvent offrir les dalles souples et motorisées, même si ce Legion Pro Rollable reste pour l'instant un pur prototype de salon. Autre idée audacieuse : le HP Eliteboard G1A. Sous ses touches se cache un véritable PC, équipé d'un processeur Ryzen et d'un NPU dédié à l'IA. Léger, ultra-compact, capable d'alimenter deux écrans 4K, il promet une nouvelle façon de travailler en mobilité… et, cette fois, le produit sera bien commercialisé.Téléviseurs extrêmes : la quête de la finesse absolueCôté écrans, LG a une nouvelle fois joué la carte du spectaculaire avec un téléviseur ultra-fin de moins d'un centimètre d'épaisseur, le Wallpaper OLED Evo W6. Fixation murale magnétique, connectique déportée dans un boîtier externe et transmission sans fil des flux 4K : l'objet frôle la prouesse d'ingénierie. À ce niveau de sophistication, la technologie devient presque un élément de design… même si le prix, lui aussi, tutoie les sommets.Robots domestiques : rêve ou illusion ?Les robots ont été omniprésents dans les allées du CES 2026. LG a notamment présenté le CLOiD, un robot humanoïde capable, en théorie, de plier le linge, préparer le petit déjeuner et servir de centre de contrôle pour la maison connectée. L'IA « physique » promise laisse entrevoir un futur fascinant, mais, comme souvent au CES, on reste face à une démonstration plus qu'à un produit réellement prêt à entrer dans les foyers.Samsung, de son côté, a profité du salon pour annoncer l'abandon définitif de son robot Bollie, pourtant très remarqué il y a quelques années. Un rappel que, dans l'univers des robots domestiques, l'innovation se heurte encore à la réalité industrielle.Compagnons IA : entre fascination et malaiseAutre grande tendance de cette édition : les assistants de compagnie. Razr a dévoilé un étonnant avatar holographique, baptisé Projet Ava, destiné aux gamers, capable de commenter une partie en temps réel et de suggérer des stratégies grâce à une caméra intégrée. Derrière l'effet “waouh”, la question de la vie privée s'impose immédiatement : accepterons-nous demain d'être observés en permanence par nos assistants numériques ?Plus troublant encore, ce cadre photo intelligent, de la marque chinoise Vinabot, capable de donner vie à des personnes disparues ou à des figures historiques, grâce à l'IA et au clonage vocal. Une technologie qui fascine autant qu'elle dérange, tant elle brouille les frontières entre souvenir, hommage… et illusion numérique.Quand Lego passe à l'ère intelligenteEnfin, impossible de ne pas évoquer l'une des annonces les plus surprenantes du CES : Lego Smart Play. Des briques connectées, sans écran ni smartphone, capables de réagir aux mouvements, aux figurines et à l'environnement sonore. Une façon inédite de mêler jeu physique et interaction numérique, qui montre que même les icônes du jouet traditionnel se réinventent à l'ère de l'IA et de l'électronique embarquée.Le CES, laboratoire de l'imagination technologiqueCette cinquième journée illustre parfaitement ce qu'est aussi le CES de Las Vegas : un immense terrain d'expérimentation. Tous les produits présentés ne verront pas le jour, loin de là. Mais chacun raconte quelque chose de notre rapport à la technologie : notre envie de mobilité extrême, notre fascination pour les robots, notre curiosité pour les compagnons artificiels… et notre goût intact pour les objets qui font rêver, sourire ou débattre.Rendez-vous pour le grand débrief final de cette édition 2026, avec Bruno Guglielminetti, pour tirer les enseignements de cette semaine hors norme au cœur de la tech mondiale.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

On this week's show DJ Briggs from Brightside Home Theater fills in for Braden who is away on business. We ask DJ to give us his opinion on using a large format TV as a replacement for a projector. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: LG will debut its first Micro RGB television at CES Local ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC Stations Are Demanding Up to a 50% Price Hike for Cable TV Customers WBD board recommends rejection of Paramount's takeover bid Other: YouTube TV Wants to Unbundle the Cable Package That Streamers Were Meant to Kill in the First Place Tailwind Meross Garage Door Opener HT Guys Amazon List Swapping a projector for a 100" TV  Jon Taylor recently purchased a TCL 98QM7K (2025 model, QD-Mini LED QLED with Google TV) during Black Friday for $1,999.99 (50% off the $3,999.99 retail price). After using it for a couple of weeks in his basement home theater (replacing an older 82" Samsung and supplementing a projector setup), he shares highly positive impressions. Key Highlights: Size and Installation: The 98" screen is enormous and immersive. Delivery and installation (included from Best Buy) went smoothly, though modifications to basement stairs were needed to fit the massive box. Picture Quality: Exceptional deep blacks (best non-OLED he's seen, rivaling his old Panasonic plasma), vibrant colors, and strong contrast. Upscaling of lower-resolution content (720p/1080p from cable, Blu-ray, streaming) is excellent. 4K sources, including Ultra HD Blu-ray and YouTube, look stunning with minimal motion blur. Performance Across Sources: Built-in Google TV streaming: Clear and smooth. Roku Premier: Deep blacks and popping colors. Standout: Apple TV 4K shines brightest, leveraging Dolby Vision for an incredibly vivid, "popping" image—far superior to non-Dolby Vision devices on his previous Samsung. Gaming and Features: 144Hz refresh rate delivers outstanding performance with low motion lag. Fun feature: Displays four simultaneous 48" screens for NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. Observations: Large size exposes weaknesses in poor cable signals (fixed by rerouting). He notes TCL (and Hisense) are seriously challenging premium brands (Samsung, LG, Sony) with high-end specs at budget prices, earning praise from reviewers like RTINGS.com. Jon historically preferred established brands for reliability but now sees TCL/Hisense as the new value leaders, similar to how Samsung/LG rose decades ago. He recommends checking out the latest high-end TCL models, especially for large sizes where premium brands were too expensive for him. He's also considering switching from Verizon Fios to a streaming TV service to cut costs. Overall, Jon is thrilled with the TV's performance and value, calling it a "force to be reckoned with."

175: Galaxy Z Trifold vs. Apple's Foldable iPhone

The MacRumors Show

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Samsung's new Galaxy Z TriFold smartphone and how it could compare to Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone. Samsung this week introduced the Galaxy Z TriFold, its first smartphone with two folding sections instead of one. When unfolded, the device presents a 10-inch screen, while the cover display measures 6.5 inches. Samsung says it has minimized visible creasing across the panels. The Galaxy Z TriFold uses an inward-folding design intended to protect the main display. The folding mechanism has been engineered with an alert system that notifies users if the device is being folded incorrectly. Samsung is using a titanium Armor FlexHinge with two differently sized hinges joined by a dual-rail structure. According to the company, this enables a smoother and more stable fold despite uneven panel weight distribution, and increases durability thanks to a thin metal reinforcement that protects the hinge assembly. A third of the unfolded display measures 3.9mm thick, increasing slightly around the triple-lens camera module. The center display section is 4.2mm thick, while the segment containing the side button is 4mm. The device includes a reinforced overcoat atop a shock-absorbing display layer for impact resistance, and an aluminum frame prevents the screens from coming into contact when closed. Samsung has equipped the Galaxy Z TriFold with a 5,600 mAh three-cell battery, with one cell behind each display panel. The company says this is the largest battery it has ever used in a smartphone. The rear camera system includes a 200-megapixel wide camera, a 12-megapixel ultra wide camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. Two 10-megapixel selfie cameras are integrated into the cover display and the main display. The Galaxy Z TriFold supports three portrait-layout apps running side-by-side, multi-window resizing, full-screen video viewing, and a vertical reading mode. Samsung has also added standalone Samsung DeX, enabling up to four workspaces with five apps active simultaneously. Samsung apps have been optimized for the triple-panel layout, and Google's Gemini Live has been optimized as well. The Galaxy Z TriFold launches in Korea on December 12, followed by China, Taiwan, Singapore, and the UAE. It will arrive in the United States in the first quarter of 2026. Pricing has not yet been announced. Meanwhile, recent rumors suggest that Apple's first foldable ‌iPhone‌ will feature an industry-first 24-megapixel under-display camera for the inner display, as well as a Samsung-supplied OLED panel, virtually no crease, a hybrid titanium and aluminum frame, and a 5,400–5,800 mAh battery. Analyst estimates currently place pricing at around $2,400. The device is only expected to include two rear cameras, unlike the TriFold and all of Samsung's book-style foldables. Apple will likely use a wide and an ultra-wide camera, similar to the iPhone 17, while reserving a telephoto camera for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. Early information also suggests it will also not be as thin as Samsung's Galaxy Fold 7. We discuss the importance of rear camera set ups on foldables, the rumored price point of Apple's version, and the risk of it falling victim to some of the same pitfalls as the iPhone Air.
