12 Things That Are Better to Do on a Book-Style Foldable

How-To Geek - Sun, 09/07/2025 - 17:30

I often hear people say that they like the idea of a book-style foldable, but they can't imagine what they would actually do with one. I use one every day, and here are tasks I do on my foldable that feel far more practical, or simply just better, than on my previous phones.

Midjourney accused of brazen theft in Warner Bros. Discovery lawsuit

Mashable - Sun, 09/07/2025 - 17:28

Warner Bros. Discovery is suing Midjourney for copyright infringement, joining Disney and Universal in the battle over AI's impact on film and TV.

"Midjourney thinks it is above the law. It sells a commercial subscription service, powered by artificial intelligence technology, that was developed using illegal copies of Warner Bros. Discovery’s copyrighted works," the complaint reads.

The suit claims that Midjourney is built on theft by "brazenly" dispensing Warner Bros. Discovery’s intellectual property. One example? Bugs Bunny, according to the complaint filed on Thursday in California federal court, and The Hollywood Reporter. Other examples include Superman, Batman, the Flash, Wonder Woman, Scooby-Doo, and the Powerpuff Girls, according to the Associated Press.

"The heart of what we do is develop stories and characters to entertain our audiences, bringing to life the vision and passion of our creative partners,” a Warner Bros. Discovery spokesperson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "Midjourney is blatantly and purposefully infringing copyrighted works, and we filed this suit to protect our content, our partners, and our investments."

According to the Associated Press, the lawsuit argues that Midjourney creates "consumer confusion regarding what is lawful and what is not lawful by misleading its subscribers to believe that Midjourney’s massive copying and the countless infringing images and videos generated by its Service are somehow authorized by Warner Bros. Discovery."

Warner Bros. Discovery is seeking $150,000 per infringed work.

This is just one of many lawsuits against artificial intelligence — Anthropic settled a copyright lawsuit for $15 billion earlier this month, and Disney and Comcast’s Universal's June complaint alleges that Midjourney is a "bottomless pit of plagiarism."

Custom Watchlists—The Streaming Feature We Desperately Need

Threads is making it easier to follow multi-part posts

Mashable - Sun, 09/07/2025 - 15:46

If you're an active Threads user, you've probably seen a ton of new changes over the past few days: a newly increased 10,000-character limit, a text attachment feature, and now, as Threads said in a post on its site, the company is "making it easier to thread on Threads."

Basically, it wasn't always easy to post a multi-post Thread on the app — or to tell when someone else was doing that. Threads like these are a really helpful tool for people live-posting through an event, doing a live-watching of a show, or posting a multi-part story. Now, Threads is testing a change that "makes it easier to see a series of connected posts by adding a label that shows a post’s position in the thread." For instance, a post might say "1/4" if it is the first of four posts in a Thread.

SEE ALSO: Who is actually using Threads? View on Threads

Threads is also showing threads in your profile a bit differently by allowing users to see the "first and second posts in a thread, followed by an indicator of the number of additional posts you’ve added." And when someone clicks into your thread, they'll see all of your responses in one place, with the intention of making it easier to keep track of the conversation.

"To share a multi-part thread, start by writing your first post in the composer. Then, tap “Add to thread” to keep building. Repeat as many times as you need to tell your story in a series of connected posts," Threads explained.

How Nintendo's Biggest Mistake Gave Birth to Sony's PlayStation

Atari spiraled downwards after crashing the video game industry, Sega failed to follow up on the success of the Genesis, and even Microsoft isn't the system-seller it used to be.

Is color really worth $250? Reviewing the Kindle Colorsoft.

Mashable - Sun, 09/07/2025 - 11:00

The Kindle Colorsoft has had a weird rollout. The color e-reader debuted in October of 2024 but quickly paused shipping after customer reports of discoloration. Since then, the Colorsoft has quietly been on the market with two new iterations joining the lineup. Now the Colorsoft collection includes Kindle Colorsoft (16GB), Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (32GB), and Kindle Colorsoft Kids.

Amazon's Kindles admittedly joined the color e-reader party pretty late. Before the Colorsoft's launch, Kobo already had two color e-readers, the Clara Colour and Libra Colour, Boox had the Go Color 7, and the Remarkable Paper Pro tablet has a color display too (although the Remarkable is more of a paper tablet than an e-reader).

With the debut of the Colorsoft, Amazon also had a huge price problem, as the first device launched — the Colorsoft Signature Edition — cost $279.99. As of July 2025, Amazon released the more affordable Kindle Colorsoft, which we're here to review today.

At $249.99, it's still an investment of an e-reader — so is it worth it? Here are our thoughts on the Kindle Colorsoft.

Kindle Colorsoft price and specs From the outside, Kindle Colorsoft and Paperwhite are indistinguishable. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

As mentioned above, the Kindle Colorsoft with 16 GB costs $249.99. To put that price into perspective, that's $90 more than the comparable Kindle Paperwhite but $30 cheaper than the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition.

Compared to other color e-readers, it still runs expensive. The Kobo Clara Colour costs the same as the Paperwhite at $159.99, while the Kobo Libra Colour costs $229.99. So, looking at price alone, it's one of the most expensive color e-readers.

Let's get into the specs of the Kindle Colorsoft:

  • 7-inch display

  • Up to 94 nits brightness with adjustable warmth

  • 300 ppi resolution for black and white and 150 ppi for color

  • USB-C charging port with up to 8 weeks of battery life

  • 16GB of storage

  • IPX8 waterproof rating can be fully submerged in water for up to one hour

  • Comes in black, raspberry, and jade

The color doesn't disappoint Comparing the e-reader to the physical book. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

The big show-stopping quality of the Kindle Colorsoft is the color display, so that's the priority here. The color looks really nice on the Kindle Colorsoft.

I borrowed a copy of Heartstopper Volume 3 with Libby and sent it to the Kindle Colorsoft, but I wanted to see how it actually compared to the real thing. After grabbing a physical copy of the novel from the library, I set them side-by-side to see how the visuals compared.

The Kindle Colorsoft does a nice job of accurately color-matching the physical copy. However, the colors on the Colorsoft are muted compared to the book, even when you turn up the brightness. I wish the display were higher contrast to capture punchy, vibrant hues.

I also pulled out the Apple iPad (11th gen) to assess the color displays on the Colorsoft. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

But I wanted to verify that its muted tone wasn't just how the e-books were illustrated, so I pulled out my iPad to view the e-book within the Libby app. On the iPad, the colors were more vibrant and accurate to the physical book than the Kindle Colorsoft. Plus, the iPad highlighted the Colorsoft's lower resolution.

You won't miss a ton of color while using the Kindle Colorsoft — just don't expect the same vibrancy you'd expect with a physical copy. If that's a priority for you in reading digitally, go for a tablet instead, as color e-ink displays still have a ways to go in terms of resolution and quality.

It runs just like a Kindle Paperwhite

With the addition of color to a Kindle, I was curious if it would affect the efficiency of its operating system. Luckily, it doesn't. The Colorsoft runs just like the Kindle Paperwhite, which is to say, quickly and efficiently. There's little to no lag time between pages, and it has a 300 ppi resolution when using black and white, adjustable warmth and brightness, and an IPX8 waterproof rating.

There is one small difference when operating the Colorsoft compared to the Paperwhite. When using the e-reader in color, the screen tends to flash between pages while loading. This is a common plight among color e-readers, and something you'll find true among Kobo's color e-readers, too.

Other than the obvious color aspect, the Colorsoft boasts one advantage over the standard Kindle Paperwhite: It is ad-free. This was a pleasant surprise to me, but one I'd expect for a device that costs $250.

I am disappointed that Colorsoft doesn't have auto-adjusting brightness. For that, you'll have to spend even more on the Colorsoft Signature Edition.

Is the Kindle Colorsoft worth it? Is the Kindle Colorsoft worth it? We're opting for other e-readers. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

For the average reader, no, the Kindle Colorsoft is not worth it. Unless you're mostly reading graphic novels, you don't need color on an e-reader. When it comes to purchasing a Kindle, it's a better value to go for the Paperwhite or even the Signature Edition.

If you are really passionate about getting a color e-reader, I'd explore Kobo's offerings instead. The Clara Colour is our favorite e-reader at Mashable, and while it does have a slightly smaller screen, it possesses the same brightness and resolution as the Kindle Colorsoft — not to mention it's $90 cheaper. If you want the bigger screen, the Kobo Libra Colour is also great.

I might recommend this Kindle Colorsoft to parents buying for kids. This model is $20 cheaper than the Colorsoft Kids, and during setup, you can choose to set it up so it's kid-friendly. The color display is a huge boon for kids who want to experience their favorite books in color, plus it's a much better distraction-free reader than a tablet.

These future foods could help the planet, if we can stop being weird about them

Mashable - Sun, 09/07/2025 - 10:00

We visited London's Science Museum for "The Future of Food," a free exhibition that explores the sustainable practices of food production. From lab-grown meats vs factory farming to the future of bioengineering, the exhibition explores the role technology plays in food production and the impact that it has on our plates and our planet. We also looked at some innovations that could make the future of food more sustainable, including a UK company producing a palm oil alternative — but first, we'll need to overcome preconceived notions on where our food comes from.

"The Future of Food" exhibition is on at London's Science Museum until Jan. 4, 2026.
