Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world’s thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I’ve had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one — both positively and negatively.  At 8.93mm thick when folded, it’s closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn’t come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it’s better than…

ZDNET I’ve been wearing an Oura Ring for over a year. Whenever I’m asked about my thoughts on the device, I say that the Oura Ring is one of the few products that nearly always does exactly what it claims to do.  The ring can predict when you’re about to get sick, catch variations in your heart rate, provide an accurate list of ingredients to log after you take a photo of your breakfast, and…

The recent emergence of powerful open-source AI models like DeepSeek has sent many enterprises scrambling to block access per their security policies. While AI teams increasingly turn to open repositories to leverage free and highly capable models like DeepSeek, security teams face mounting pressure to prevent unrestricted downloading of artifacts from untrusted sources.

ZDNET’s key takeaways PNY 1TB CS3150 M.2 storage drive, available for around $115. Overall, it’s a fast M.2 drive with active cooling to keep running temperatures below the maximum rated temperature. The heatsink makes the drive rather bulky, and you will need a 4-pin fan header on the motherboard to power the fans. In the not-so-distant past, the solution for speed-boosting an aging and sluggish PC was to add more RAM or upgrade the processor….

ZDNET’s key takeaways The Anker MagGo Qi2 magnetic wireless charger pad is available for only $25. It’s a cheap high-speed Qi2 compatible wireless charger, but well-built and features a long cord. There is no charger included with the standard option (this kit costs an additional $9). Recently, I’ve seen more and more power banks integrating wireless charging capabilities, such as the Anker MagGo Qi2. These devices are appealing for their ability to attach directly to…

Stanish said that, in 2023, she wrote a paper that predicted “by 2028, more than 70% of multinational enterprises will alter their data center strategies due to limited energy supplies and data center moratoriums, up from only about 5% in 2023. It has been interesting watching this trend evolve as expected, with Ireland being a major force in this conversation since the boycotts against data center growth started a few years ago.” Fair, equitable, and…

A good pair of headphones can be your best friend, but choosing the right pair is a personal experience. Maybe you want headphones with strong noise-canceling properties to take on your daily commute. Perhaps you want headphones that can hang during your intense workouts or ones that simply work well and won’t break the bank. No matter your headphone needs, there’s a pair for everybody, and you shouldn’t be toting a pair that doesn’t best…
