Samsung plans to call its new three-screen phone the Galaxy G Fold. The tech giant might show off a sneak peek during its next Galaxy Unpacked event. The company wants to keep attention on its regular folding phones first. Samsung will start making the tri-fold device in September and sell it during the last three months of 2025.

The Galaxy G Fold could cost nearly three thousand dollars when it hits stores. Samsung will only sell the phone in China and South China to start. The high price comes from expensive parts and tricky manufacturing. The company expects low production numbers because the device is hard to build. Samsung will make the phones at its main factory in Gumi.

A cheap graphics card caught fire and melted its power connector in a shocking accident. The ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti ATS/Megalodon graphics card suffered terrible damage from overheating. This budget gaming card only needs about 200 watts of power to run properly. ASUS decided to put a fancy 16-pin power connector on the card anyway. The company made this special version for buyers in China back in 2023.
The real problem came from a bad adapter cable that ASUS put inside the box. This cable was supposed to connect the graphics card to older power supplies that lack the new connector type. ASUS made a huge mistake when they built this adapter cable. The cable was missing four important pins that help ensure a safe connection. These...

Mask seller Boniface Kariuki lost his life after a bullet smashed into his head and damaged his brain badly. Doctor Peter Ndegwa performed the body examination at Kenyatta National Hospital and found four tiny bullet pieces stuck deep inside the brain tissue. The pieces were probably made of rubber and doctors missed them during the first operation because they were small and hard to reach. Kariuki had almost no chance of living because his brain was hurt very badly and he lost lots of blood. Two other bullet pieces had already been taken out when he was still alive.
The autopsy report proves that a police officer shot Kariuki from close distance and the video showing this attack is real. Detectives from the Independent Policing...
