Samsung finally made the Quick Panel customizable enough in One UI 9

Samsung finally made the Quick Panel customizable enough in One UI 9

Published by skeptic

Samsung spent two straight updates (One UI 7 and One UI 8/8.5) promising a Quick Panel you could rearrange, but both times, there were limitations to the ways you could customize the panel. One UI 9 is the first version where that’s no longer true, offering full customization for the Quick Panel. ̌Samsung itself confirms the sound toggle is finally separate from the volume slider, the sliders got a visual overhaul, and the system-level cap on resizing (from One UI 8.5) is out of there. Here’s exactly what changed, what a third-party module (Good Lock) still covers that Samsung doesn’t, and where to find every setting on your own phone.

The evolution of Samsung’s Quick Panel layout From rigid splits to delayed modular power When One UI 7 debuted in January 2025, it really changed how users interacted with quick controls, introducing separate panels for notifications and quick settings.

There’s only one Control Panel dialog left that Windows Settings hasn’t replaced

There’s only one Control Panel dialog left that Windows Settings hasn’t replaced

Published by skeptic

Windows 11 has gotten surprisingly good at steering me away from Control Panel. If I right-click This PC and choose Properties, I end up in Settings. If I open the old System page in Control Panel, Windows redirects me there too. But if I start looking for environment variables, pagefile controls, or crash dump settings, Windows still sends me back to System Properties, with its cramped buttons, crowded tabs, and unmistakably old-school Windows design. The shortcut is sysdm.cpl, and Windows 11 still uses this dialog for a handful of advanced settings that Settings hasn’t fully absorbed.

Microsoft replaced System but left the back room intact Microsoft moved out but forgot a few boxes Afam Onyimadu / MUO Microsoft has been peeling responsibilities away from Control Panel for years, and the old System page was one of the more obvious casualties.

Trump – named America’s worst-ever president by panel of experts – puts out his own chart listing himself as the greatest

Trump – named America’s worst-ever president by panel of experts – puts out his own chart listing himself as the greatest

Published by Sam Flores

President Trump has shared a chart ranking the best U.S. presidents, and the Republican predictably put himself in the top spot, above such heavyweights as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The president’s Thursday post was in response to a clip from CNN, whose recent poll found that 53 percent of GOPers named Trump as the Republican president they admire the most, beating out Lincoln and Ronald Reagan. Commentators noted a variety of oddities with Trump’s self-created ranking, such as leaving out his recent Republican predecessors entirely. “Trump apparently has no opinion on where Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush rank as presidents,” historian Christopher W. Jones wrote on X. “Trump’s stupid chart of ‘greatest’ presidents is a chart from Life Magazine in 1948, with his name added at the top and the Democrats he doesn’t like at the bottom,” conspiracy theory expert Mike Rothschild wrote on X. “Exactly the kind of thing a healthy, high-functioning person shares.” President Trump shared a chart listing the best presidents on Thursday and put himself in the top spot, …

Plug-in solar: could a low-cost panel cut your bills? | Energy bills

Plug-in solar: could a low-cost panel cut your bills? | Energy bills

Published by Sam Flores

Despite this summer bringing hours of sunshine, many Britons have been unable to cash in on free electricity generated by the sun. Rooftop solar panels are usually out of the question if you live in a flat or rent your home, and the cost has made them prohibitive to many more households. However, this could be about to change because next week the first wave of low-cost “plug-in” solar panels will go on sale in Great Britain. Also known as “plug‑and‑play” or “balcony” solar, the clue to what makes them different is in the name: you can fix them to a balcony or garden wall, then plug them in like a toaster. The mini solar systems are a familiar sight on balconies in Spain and in Germany, where they are known as a Balkonkraftwerk (balcony power plant), but until a recent change in the law, they were not permitted in Britain. Matt Parry from the Renewable Energy Association, a trade body for renewable energy, says the kits are a gamechanger. “It democratises solar and gives everyone …

FDA Panel Backs Wider Access To Six Peptide Therapies, Citing Grey Market Concerns

FDA Panel Backs Wider Access To Six Peptide Therapies, Citing Grey Market Concerns

Published by Jenni Sidey

Via American Greatness, A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel has voted to recommend expanding legal access to six popular peptide compounds. Supporters say it could pull patients out of the unregulated grey market that has flourished under years of federal inaction. The FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee reviewed seven peptides during a two-day hearing in Maryland last week, weighing whether each should be added to the agency’s Section 503A Bulks List. Reuters reported the panel voted in favor of moving six forward: BPC-157 for ulcerative colitis, TB-500 and KPV for wound healing, MOTS-c for obesity and osteoporosis, Semax for cerebral ischemia, migraine and trigeminal neuralgia, and Epitalon for insomnia. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that help regulate metabolism, growth and tissue repair, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Some, including insulin and GLP-1 weight loss drugs, are already FDA approved, while others have remained in regulatory limbo even as demand exploded among patients seeking help with weight loss, muscle building, chronic disease and performance. If the FDA ultimately adopts the recommendation, licensed …

Marvel Studios Announces Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider, David Jonsson as Black Panther and More At San Diego Comic-Con 2026 Hall H Panel

Published by Jenni Sidey

A Ryan Gosling Ghost Rider movie and the first Black Panther 3 cast announcements were among Marvel Studios’ big new-project reveals at San Diego Comic Con’s famed Hall H. Although there wasn’t much news on the X-Men front, this weekend’s presentation by Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige did contain a few slivers of insight as to where the MCU is headed in the aftermath of Avengers: Doomsday (whose latest trailer dropped this week in the swirling wake of The Odyssey, to somewhat muted reception online) and 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars. In case you weren’t refreshing your social media feeds, we’ve got the breakdown on all three biggest bits of news out of the panel. A Fresh Ghost Rider Project Revs Up Jesse Grant/Getty Images After many rumors and much speculation, Feige announced that the character of Ghost Rider will return to the MCU, this time played by Ryan Gosling. The film, helmed by Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy, will release in 2028. A writer has yet to be announced. This marks a reunion …

Marvel Studios Brings Doomsday to Its Most Crowded Comic-Con Panel

Published by Daniella Wilson

After years of massive Comic-Con panels with full Avengers casts, it didn’t seem possible that Marvel Studios could go bigger. But, boy, did they. In a first for Hall H, the studio surprised the 7,000-strong crowd by revealing a hidden stage in the back of the cavernous room, with castmembers from Thunderbolts* and the 2000s X-Men movies appearing. After giving brief speeches, the actors made their way from the back, through the entire hall, high-fiving fans along the way and the crowd screaming like it was a Beatles or BTS concert. They joined the main stage already populated by Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, and the star attraction, Robert Downey Jr. It was just one part of supersized panel, that included the startling revelations that Alien: Romulus breakout David Jonsson would play the son of T’Challa (the late Chadwick Boseman) in Black Panther 3 for a Dec. 15, 2028 release. He will take the mantle of the Black Panther. Another bombshell: not only would Ryan Gosling play Ghost Rider in a new movie, but …

Apple Seeking 20% OLED Panel Price Cut for iPhone 18 Pro Max

Apple Seeking 20% OLED Panel Price Cut for iPhone 18 Pro Max

Published by skeptic

Apple is pushing OLED panel suppliers to lower their prices for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, as the cost of memory chips and other components rises, reports The Elec. According to the Korea-based report, Apple has proposed paying around $70 for OLED panels, but it might end up paying even less. Industry estimates suggest that Samsung Display and LG Display will supply the panels for around $66.50 each. That would be a roughly 20 percent drop from the prices paid for iPhone 17 Pro Max OLED panels. The report says that the price Apple has paid for iPhone OLED panels has fallen with each new generation. However, this year’s reduction is unusually steep, especially considering that the iPhone 18 OLED panel is expected to require greater manufacturing complexity – Apple will be using Samsung Display’s latest M16 OLED material set, which improves luminous efficiency, lifespan, and color performance. Smartphone makers across the board are said to be trying to offset rising memory costs by reducing procurement expenses for other components, including display panels and camera …
