    That’s no moon.

    As Artemis II sends back some wallpaper-worthy photos of the Moon and a solar eclipse, it may have given Samsung some inspiration for its next generation of smartphone cameras.

    Hopefully Samsung will add this to their photography AI so we can all take perfect photos next time we’re on the other side of the moon.

    Apple’s foldable iPhone to use Samsung display.

    The Elec reports that Samsung Display secured a three-year exclusivity deal for folding iPhone screens, with the maybe-delayed, maybe-not-delayed Apple foldable due later this year. The question is whether Apple is getting the nearly creaseless panels Samsung showed off at CES, which it will need to match the Oppo Find N6.

    Will the foldable iPhone use Samsung Display’s “crease-less” display we saw at CES?

    Japan gets the Pixel 10A in a snazzy new blue.

    Google’s latest affordable phone launched in Japan today, more than a month after its release elsewhere. The wait might have been worth it though, since Japanese buyers can get the phone in an exclusive isai blue finish, designed in partnership with Heralbony, a creative company that works with artists with disabilities.

    Google Photos gets playback speed controls for video.

    Android users can now watch videos as slowly as 0.25x or as fast as 2x, though Google hasn’t said when the option will roll out to iOS or the web. Tap the three dot menu on a video to find the new speed options.

    Add it to the to-do list.

    As Iran threatens to destroy OpenAI’s Stargate data center in Abu Dhabi, just think of all the extra admin it’s created for the people in charge of construction.

    miakizz:

    barring anything else, pour one out for some poor construction project manager who suddenly has to add “site being blown up” to the Asana board
