The tool that was used to make Portal with RTX launches in open beta later this month.

Chipolo is selling 10,000 item trackers that have slight imperfections.
The company’s “Perfectly Imperfect” series of Card Spot trackers have small cosmetic flaws but otherwise work “seamlessly,” according to a press release. I’m guessing that the trackers should indeed work just fine; I don’t see why minor external scuffs would make a difference.
They’ll be available to buy starting January 9th for $35, and Chipolo will donate a dollar to one of three nonprofits for every “Perfectly Imperfect” tracker sold.

Samsung is apparently trying to trademark the word for foldable OLED panels, as reported by Android Central. My guess is that it’s some marketing term for more durable foldable screens — perhaps for the next Z Fold and Z Flip?
