Samsungs limited run Galaxy Z TriFold is all sold out
Interested in buying a Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold? You might be permanently out of luck.
As spotted by 9to5google, Samsung has updated the online listing for the very big foldable phone to say that the "limited run" device is "now completely sold out." Presumably, that means you simply will not be able to get one at any point in the near future, if ever. 9to5google pointed out that Samsung had never referred to the TriFold as a "limited run" device before this website update.
Now, the site recommends users check out the Galaxy S26 Ultra or Galaxy Z Fold 7 instead.

If you've been following the TriFold saga closely, this isn't terribly surprising. The device launched in Asia late last year, made its western debut at CES in January, and we were already hearing that it might have a limited run by March. Samsung did one final restock online and at a handful of Samsung retail stores around the U.S. in early April, and that was seemingly the end of the line for the TriFold.
Maybe this was always the plan, or maybe Samsung quickly realized there was no sustainable way to keep manufacturing a nearly $3,000 smartphone in the age of global memory shortages. Regardless, it seems like anyone who wanted a TriFold either already has one, or will never get one.
At BookCon 2026, Heated Rivalry author Rachel Reid and show creator Jacob Tierney sit down to talk about instant chemistry and whats next for the show
The first panel at BookCon drew lines of fans an hour before its start. Fans have shown up in style. I spotted dozens of iterations of t-shirts with the faces of actors Hudson Williams and Connor Storie plastered on them. Boston Raiders, Montreal Metros, and New York Admirals jerseys are in abundance, too. 3,000 fans are here, waiting to see Rachel Reid and Jacob Tierney in conversation for the first time.
But while this may be the first public conversation between the Heated Rivalry author and show creator on a grand stage, it's clear that these two have been in perfect sync since their first Zoom call. Moderated by former Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Versha Sharma, Reid and Tierney took to the stage at BookCon for a session called "Game Changing TV: Heated Rivalry." The conversations spanned across their entire collaboration, from their very first DM to the music that makes the show, to how their lives have changed since the show aired.
Tierney, whose knack for comedy shines through, discussed how the show moved at a lightning pace. The adaptation kicked off in August 2023, with the first episode airing on November 28, 2025. Heated Rivalry's inception and creation happened at lightning pace for television. Tierney, who was the co-creator and director of Letterkenny, said that, rather than the show being slowed down by roadblocks, at every turn it appeared to accelerate instead. The show was sold to HBO before it was even finished, with episode six only finishing four days before it aired.
Reid, who has penned six novels in the Game Changers series, has been involved in the journey since the beginning, first meeting Tierney over Zoom. The author said that throughout the process, she felt respected and involved in reading script drafts and audition tapes.
While the show's leads, Hudson Williams, who portrays Shane Hollander, and Connor Storie, who portrays Ilya Rozanov, weren't physically present at the panel, both asked questions on behalf of the pair. Storie's question was apt, asking the pair what made them such a mutually good fit for this adaptation. The pair said that their visions have felt instinctively aligned, with Reid noting that, as she wrote the infamous kiss between Scott and Kip depicted in episode 5 of Heated Rivalry, she had an image of the cinematic version, which Tierney was able to bring to life.
The show, which has become known for its intimate and plentiful sex scenes, is not there just for the sake of it. Tierney said he wanted to make a show with queer joy and a horny show at that, but more so, sex is a vehicle for the show's characters to be honest and vulnerable with each other.
Music also came up, with the show's needle drops, including Tatu's "All The Things She Said" and Wolf Parade's "I'll Believe in Anything," having a renaissance two decades after their release. There's no formal equation to the music; instead, they let the songs be like casting the right actor, with Tierney noting that songs should serve a "specific task."
Tierney is in the midst of writing season two of Heated Rivalry, which takes on Reid's sequel, Long Game. The writer and director called Long Game "an emotionally sophisticated book" and said that parts of Reid's Role Model will find their way into season two. For Reid, a new book in the Game Changer series, Unrivaled, is due for a 2027 release. The author is still in the writing stage, mentioning that while she felt pressure writing Long Game, the previous book in the series, Unrivaled presents a whole new challenge because of the show's massive popularity.
Fans in the room seemed alight, hearing first-hand from the author and creator of Heated Rivalry, basking in an hour dedicated to a show that set the internet and book world ablaze. Moderator Versha Sharma ended on the sentiment that the whole room could agree on: "Rachel Reid's universe is the world as it should be."

Hot-swappable hard drives seemed brilliant in the '90s—here's why Iomega Jaz never stood a chance
Computer storage has always been a problem. There never seems to be enough of it. Just as we get bigger disks and drives, file sizes swell to accommodate them. So you can imagine in the '90s what a chore it was to move large media files or make backups when all you have are 1.44MB floppy disks.

Meta finally adds direct messages to the web version of Threads
Meta is adding a feature to the web version of Threads that, honestly, probably should've been there a while ago.
As spotted by Engadget, Threads executive Connor Hayes posted an image showcasing a new redesign for the web browser version of the Twitter-like social network. It's a pretty substantial redesign, including a bunch of new elements on the left sidebar such as the ability to easily switch between different feeds. Eagle-eyed viewers will also undoubtedly notice the addition of a direct message inbox. That feature has been available in the Threads mobile app since last June, but web users have been without it for almost an entire year. That, seemingly, will change soon.
SEE ALSO: Threads has overtaken X in daily users, but only on mobileHayes' post didn't include a specific timeframe for when this new redesign will go live, so don't get too excited just yet if you're a web-based Threads user who wants to send and receive DMs. The only hint Hayes gave is that users can expect to see some of these updates "in the coming weeks."
Longtime social media users might find it strange that there has been such a massive gulf in feature availability between the mobile and web versions of Threads, but it makes a certain amount of sense. Threads has actually become pretty popular, but largely on mobile. X is still the preferred microblogging service on web browsers, at least going by user count. Meta is just operating where its bread is buttered. At least now web users can rest assured that they haven't been forgotten.

They're simple, they're familiar, and they're good enough for most people. And honestly, if you just want something that works the same way every time you turn on the TV, that familiarity is hard to beat.

My old Excel spreadsheets were a mess—here's how I fixed them in just an hour with AI
Every professional who works with data knows that moment of dread when opening an old, complex Excel file. They can quickly become a file of mismatched formats, formulas that are great but overused, and data full of errors. This is a massive time sink.
