After some users gave a lukewarm reception to Apple Intelligence in the iPhone 16, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 lineup remains focused on innovative AI features, while doubling down on integrations across its ecosystem of products. Samsung wants…

Like past January Unpacked events, Samsung released three new Galaxy S models, with the base models getting some subtle but meaningful upgrades, including a thinner and lighter design.  Other changes include the introduction of new colors, including Icyblue, Navy, Mint, Silver Shadow, as well as online-only exclusive colors like Blueblack, Coralred, and Pinkgold.

Step 2: Stay the course on IFS Intel is on a multiyear mission to reinvent itself as a foundry service and compete with TSMC and Samsung. If there is a knock on Gelsinger, it’s that he didn’t make it abundantly clear to the board and to investors that this is a long-term project that will require time and investment before a payoff. The investment can pay off if the board and shareholders are patient, but…

Introduction: Overcoming GPU Management Challenges   In Part 1 of this blog series, we explored the challenges of hosting large language models (LLMs) on CPU-based workloads within an EKS cluster. We discussed the inefficiencies associated with using CPUs for such tasks, primarily due to the large model sizes and slower inference speeds. The introduction of GPU resources offered a significant performance boost, but it also brought about the need for efficient management of these high-cost resources. …

Degioanni noted that cloud networking, especially in Kubernetes environments, can be very complex with various approaches like service mesh, ingress, and gateways. Stratoshark is designed to be agnostic to the specific cloud networking approach, focusing on collecting data at the endpoint level rather than relying on the networking layer. One particular issue that Combs said is common in Kubernetes is the CrashLoopBackOff issue that can be difficult to diagnose and resolve. Combs said that Stratoshark provides…

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Did you know that a modern TV uses significantly less energy than a TV that’s a decade old? Maybe that shouldn’t be a surprise, considering how much more power-efficient today’s display panels are. According to Perch Energy, the average power consumption of an old TV runs around $54 per year in energy costs. Because LED-backlit TVs and OLEDs consume less power than traditional LCD screens, newer models cost about $32 annually.  Also: This futuristic…

Adam Breeden/ZDNET In the age of smart TVs, convenience reigns supreme. We can access a world of entertainment with just a few clicks, but this comes at a cost: accumulating cache data.  Also: The best TVs of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed Just like on your phone or computer, a cluttered TV cache can lead to sluggish performance, app crashes, and even hinder new content from loading properly. That’s why it’s important to clear all that…
