Current price: $900 (55% off) Original price: $2,000 Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 sits at the premium end of foldable smartphones, combining flagship performance with one of the most versatile form factors available today. Like the Galaxy S26 Ultra, it runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, providing the power needed for multitasking and the company’s AI-powered features. When closed, the Fold 7 functions like a traditional smartphone thanks to its spacious 6.5-inch outer display. Open it up, however, and the device transforms into an 8-inch mini tablet. The larger inner display is perfect for reading, gaming, and working across several apps, making the Galaxy Z Fold 7 surprisingly effective at productivity tasks. You can have one app on one half of the screen and another on the other half. Samsung also equipped the phone with a 200MP main camera that captures highly detailed images with excellent clarity.

Jennifer Lopez issues advice to ‘loser’ exes after 4th divorce

Published by Daniella Wilson

Jennifer Lopez has divorce number four under her belt, but despite her numerous relationships, she doesn’t see herself as a “failure.” The 56-year-old singer offered up some dating advice following her 2024 divorce from Ben Affleck, advising people to throw themselves a party when a relationship ends. “Breakups are not a failure. I honestly feel like it’s a launchpad into your next best self,” she said on the June 30 episode of Subway Takes. “We should have a party when we break up. People should say, ‘You broke up? Congratulations,’ because one, you made a decision. Two, it was probably the best thing for everybody.” Recommended videoYou may also likeWATCH: Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck However, she also warned that breaking hearts makes you a “loser” and incapable of personal growth. “If you’re the one who’s being heartbroken, you’re the winner,” she added, explaining: “Because if you go around your life and you’re breaking hearts, let’s say, you’re a loser.  “I’ve been on both sides.

A massive fireworks display in Washington, D.C., will celebrate America’s 250th birthday — and could also break a world record. President Trump says he will personally launch “the LARGEST FIREWORKS SHOW IN HISTORY” at the event. Setting a new Guinness World Record was a top priority for the event’s organizers at the Freedom 250 organization, a White House commission. And Pyrotecnico, the company putting on the July 4th show, plans to do that. But the company’s CEO, Stephen Vitale, also has another goal. “Our main focus is to make this the most memorable fireworks display that this generation will have ever seen,” he says. To do that, dozens of Pyrotecnico technicians will fire off about …

The 37 Best Outdoor Deals From the REI 4th of July Sale

The 37 Best Outdoor Deals From the REI 4th of July Sale

Published by skeptic

The Tundra Haul is our top-pick cooler. It’s expensive and big, but Yeti’s rotomolded cooler is the undisputed king for a simple reason—it keeps your stuff cold longer. The Tundra Haul is built like a tank, with 3-inch-thick insulated walls, a heavy aluminum arm, and puncture-proof, one-piece wheels. Fill this thing up and you’ll need a second person to lift it in and out of your trunk (or truck, in my case). I’ve managed to get five days of cold out of it in the insane humidity of Florida in the spring. Deals on Rain Jackets and Outdoor Apparel Courtesy of REI The Rainier is our favorite budget rain jacket, especially when it’s on sale. This particular deal, while limited in color options, is the lowest price I’ve seen in 5 years of covering REI sales. Unlike most rain jackets in this price range, the Rainier uses high-quality three-layer, seam-taped, laminate waterproofing that’s non-fluorinated (meaning no PFAS). It has some other features rare in budget rain jackets, like pit zips or venting, a weatherproof center …

Ahead of July Fourth, the U.S. Mint announced that it is releasing a limited edition run of 250,000 Declaration of Independence quarters. However, these aren’t available to purchase through official channels. The 25 cent pieces are being randomly distributed into circulation, Wonka golden ticket-style, meaning aspiring owners will need to start scouring their pocket change in the coming months if they want to find one. “We hope Americans enjoy the search for these iconic quarters as they’re meant to be shared, saved, and remembered as part of this historic anniversary,” U.S. Mint director Paul Hollis said …

Tesla ‘FSD’ approved in Denmark, 4th European country in 2 months

Tesla ‘FSD’ approved in Denmark, 4th European country in 2 months

Published by skeptic

Denmark has provisionally approved Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” (Supervised) system, making it the fourth European country to clear the software in roughly eight weeks. The Danish Road Traffic Authority, Færdselsstyrelsen, confirmed the decision today — notably after Denmark had previously raised concerns about the technology at the EU level. Denmark accepts Dutch approval after its own review Færdselsstyrelsen said it accepted the provisional type approval originally issued by the Dutch vehicle authority, RDW, on April 10. But the Danish authority stressed it conducted its own independent review before signing off. “After a thorough review and assessment of the technical documentation, Færdselsstyrelsen agrees with RDW’s assessment that the system will contribute positively to road safety by assisting the driver while driving,” the authority said in its official statement. Advertisement – scroll for more content The authority was clear about what FSD Supervised is not: “The system does not make the car self-driving. The driver is still fully responsible for driving.” Denmark joins the Netherlands, Lithuania, and Estonia in clearing the system through national recognition of the Dutch …

Moscow To Host US-Russia Hockey Match Week Of July 4th

Published by Jenni Sidey

The world’s two largest nuclear powers are apparently turning to old school, Cold War-style sports diplomacy to thaw out their deeply frozen bilateral relations, even as there’s as yet no solution to the grinding Russia-Ukraine war. Russian and American ice hockey players are scheduled to face off in Moscow on July 1. President Vladimir Putin first proposed holding hockey matches between Russian and American players in both countries during a direct phone call with President Trump. Getty Images Soon after that March 2025 phone call the Kremlin noted at the time that Trump had “expressed support” for the initiative. According to the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia (AmCham Russia), the event is part of a broader series of matches. Notably the initial match is timed just ahead of the milestone 250th anniversary of US independence on July 4th. “We hope this will help melt the ice that formed between us,” AmCham Russia President Robert Agee said Thursday. The announcement was made at the 29th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which is currently ongoing. He confirmed that Russia and …

Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX merger would be Musk’s 4th billion-dollar self-deal

Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX merger would be Musk’s 4th billion-dollar self-deal

Published by skeptic

Elon Musk is reportedly floating the idea of merging Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX, just weeks before SpaceX’s massive IPO on the Nasdaq. If it happens, this would literally be the fourth time Musk has orchestrated a billion-dollar transaction between companies he controls. No one in corporate America is doing this at the scale Musk is. Between SolarCity, Twitter/X, and xAI, Musk has built a playbook for self-dealing that is unprecedented — and now he’s gearing up for the biggest one yet. The latest merger talk According to CNBC, Musk has discussed with colleagues the possibility of folding Tesla and SpaceX together. The timing is notable: SpaceX filed its S-1 on May 20 and is expected to start trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX on June 12, targeting a valuation of up to $1.75 trillion and a raise of approximately $75 billion — the largest IPO in history. Tesla’s market cap currently sits around $1.6 trillion, meaning a combined entity could be worth over $3 trillion. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has put the odds …
