Apple’s iPhone Duo Fails JerryRigEverything’s Durability Test

Zack Nelson’s scratch and bend tests reveal a $1,000 inner display repair cost on Apple’s $1,999 foldable Spend $1,999 on Apple’s first foldable and you deserve to know exactly what you are buying. Zach Nelson of JerryRigEverything ran the iPhone Duo through his durability gauntlet, and the results are worth reading before you tap “Add to Bag.” If you’re already thinking ahead, browsing iPhone accessories worth keeping is a smart next step. The inner display scratches at Mohs hardness level 2, a level soft enough that a fingernail can scratch the panel. That number is the headline, and everything else in the test flows from it. The iPhone Duo held up reasonably well on the outside, but its foldable components revealed the vulnerabilities that matter most to buyers. Nelson subjected the iPhone Duo to scratch, dust, and bend tests. The specific failure points, according to Dexerto and…

The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max has me very worried about 2027 flagship phones

The Find X10 Pro Max is a fantastic smartphone that’s easy to love. It continues on the strong run started by last year’s Find X9 Pro, this time with an even bigger 8000mAh battery (in some regions, anyway), next-gen Dimensity power and a triple 200MP rear camera setup – the first smartphone to offer such a high-res trio. It’s a phone I’ve enjoyed using as my daily phone for the past month. The screen is big and bright with those ultra-slim 1.1mm-thick bezels that make everything look and feel premium, and when combined with battery life that easily lasts two days, long gaming sessions are genuinely enjoyable. It goes without saying that it’s a pretty damn capable phone in the camera department too. Those 200MP sensors deliver consistently great shots, complete with Hasselblad tuning and an updated Master Mode that removes much of the artificial processing seen with pretty much every…

Is It Actually Possible To Travel Through Time?

The scientists gave an unexpected answer. Jumping into the future, going back to the past to set things right—time travel fascinates not only science fiction writers but also physicists. But what does science actually say about this? Will we ever be able to build a real time machine—to travel back to ancient times or visit our great-great-grandchildren? To answer this question, we first need to understand how time itself works. But physicists haven’t even come close to answering this question yet, writes Futura. Still, there’s one thing we can say with certainty. Traveling to the future is achievable. But traveling to the past is either incredibly difficult or simply impossible. It all begins with Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity. They describe space, time, mass, and gravity. And the main conclusion from them is this: time does not flow at a constant rate. It can speed up or…

Fix Firebase Variant CI Configuration

Build variants select wrong Firebase projects. Quick solution: app/src/staging/google-services.json When an Android continuous integration pipeline compiles multiple product flavors or build variants, the Google Services Gradle plugin can inadvertently bind production credentials to staging builds or vice versa, causing unexpected data leakage or runtime initialization failures. This issue typically surfaces when developers rely on a single global configuration file or misconfigure directory structures for variant-specific JSON credentials, leading to mismatched client package names during compilation. How the Plugin Chooses the Matching Client Understanding the matching mechanism requires examining how the Google Services Gradle plugin processes files during compilation. According to the official documentation on the Google services Gradle plugin and configuration, the plugin reads the…
