A Galaxy Z Flip 3 user reports that her smartphone’s foldable screen broke in half at the hinge after just one year of use. A store in Bangladesh unboxed a Pixel 7 Pro well ahead of its release. And power cuts of less than two hours could be organized to relieve the electricity network. This is the recap.
Friday September 2, 2022 was the launch of the new series The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime Video. From the work of JRR Tokien, the Lord of the Rings, this highly anticipated series was watched by 25 million viewers worldwide when its first episode went live. The average rating from journalists and critics is rather high, since it reaches 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. But, in addition to not being unanimous, she suffered a significant wave of racist, misogynistic and insulting comments. Which is very unfortunate. In writing, we really appreciated the series and we have dedicated a complete file to it where we will add the summary of the episodes as they are released. In the meantime, here is the September 5 recap.
The Pixel 7 Pro is already fully unboxed
We know it: Google will present two smartphones in the coming weeks: the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Pending official information, many leaks and rumors animate social networks. But the palm undoubtedly goes to Gadgetfull Comics, a store located in Bangladesh. The latter has published a video which reveals all the contents of the box and of course the contours of the smartphone. The video can be accessed by clicking on the link below.

Is the Galaxy Z Fold 3 screen more fragile than advertised?
According to Samsung, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 screen is tested to last a long time. The firm announces that the screen reaches 200,000 openings and closings. That is a longevity of several years. Only, not all models seem to be as resistant: a British journalist posted a photo of her Z Flip 3 whose screen split in two after only one year of use… And obviously, the smartphone is not more usable.

Electricity shortage: Enedis will not cut a Linky meter more than another
The Linky connected meter is the subject of much controversy. Some are true, like the fact that alternative electricity distributors can access your personal data without permission. Others look fake. One of these false rumors concerns the higher risk of experiencing a power cut this winter, at a time when international tensions are high and the cold is setting in in Europe. According to the daily Releasepower cuts, which could be a solution envisaged to offload the network according to Elisabeth Borne, would not specifically target households equipped with a Linky… but all French households.
