    Samsung made the S25 Ultra’s battery replacement a little less finicky.

    Instead of having to fuss with a pull tab that’s supposed to release the battery from its adhesive, Samsung secured the S25 Ultra’s battery with tape, as shown in this teardown from JerryRigEverything. Now you can simply peel back the tape covering the battery and then lift it out — no isopropyl alcohol required.

    Elon Musk’s DOGE reportedly gained “full access” to the federal payment system.

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave DOGE members access to the system on Friday, which “sends out money on behalf of the entire federal government,” according to The New York Times. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) has already written a letter to Bessent expressing concerns about the report, saying “any politically-motivated meddling in them risks severe damage to our country and the economy.”

    Walgreens’ digital door screen drama.

    For the past couple of years, Walgreens has been locked in a legal battle with CoolerX, a startup founded by the pharmacy chain’s former CEO, according to a report from Bloomberg. CoolerX replaced glass refrigerator doors with digital screens inside hundreds of Walgreens stores, but frequent glitches reportedly led Walgreens to attempt to exit its 10-year contract.

    However, Bloomberg reports that CoolerX responded with a $200 million lawsuit over breach of contract and “secretly cut the data feeds” to dozens of stores, leading customers unable to see what’s inside of the fridges.
