We've been patiently waiting for the Samsung tri-fold phone to launch since it was briefly teased back in January,” tech journalist David Nield writes. But it looks like production will start in September, meaning it could be available in the fourth quarter of 2025. Read Nield’s story at @TechRadar, which includes details about the device.

TechRadar · More Samsung Galaxy tri-fold specs have leaked – as One UI 8 gives us our first glimpse of its designBy David Nield

"Precision, prediction, and possibility - this is the future of care." - Futurist Jim Carroll

I'm off to speak at an event today that combines the themes of personalized and predictive medicine, medical device technology, and the future of manufacturing. It should be a great event!

As I open my upcoming keynote, one of the first visuals I’ll be sharing highlights a core message: medical device transformation and disruption are accelerating—fast.
This slide sets the stage with four key forces driving this transformation:

Changing relationship with personal health circumstances. Patients are becoming active participants in their care. With wearables, digital health platforms, and real-time data, individuals are managing their wellness proactively, not reactively.

New manufacturing design, development, and time-to-market methodologies. Technologies like 3D printing and additive manufacturing are collapsing innovation cycles. Rapid prototyping and agile development mean devices can move from concept to reality faster than ever before.

Acceleration of medical science. Breakthroughs in areas like genomics, bioengineering, and regenerative medicine are reshaping what’s possible in care. The speed of discovery is feeding directly into smarter, more adaptive devices.

Medical device intelligence. We’re now embedding AI into the very fabric of medical devices. These tools are no longer passive: they’re predictive, responsive, and increasingly autonomous in their ability to assist care decisions.

This is the convergence of diagnostics, therapeutics, and innovation.

And it supports the idea I’ll emphasize throughout the keynote:

“Precision, prediction, and possibility—this is the future of care.”

Who knows. I might be dancing in the rain!

Continued thread

Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

Traveling to the US Now: Visas, Border Control & What to Know

#US #border officials have “wide-ranging discretion” to deny entry…

“We’ve seen people detained just for saying they’re ‘Open to Work’ on LinkedIn,” said a NJ-based #immigration lawyer.

Even citizens should prepare for additional #screening.

Travelers’ #SocialMedia, #text #chats & other history on their #devices can be searched.

🚨 Imagine, if digital technology were a country, it would emit as much greenhouse gas as 5.5 times France or 2 times Canada. Does that shock you ? So are we ! 🤯

User #devices in use 🤳 (smartphones, tablets, computers, connected watches, televisions, etc.) account for more than half of the #environmental impact of digital technology 💻 🌍.
