One UI 8 Beta Program Eligibility Debunked

Samsung has recently given a new notice to all Samsung Members users that lets you know about the new Beta Program participation procedure. This is to let everyone know that the procedure has changed for easier management via the new Beta Program page, which can be accessed by going to Samsung Members > Beta Program.

Currently, we only have information that indicates that the One UI 8 Beta Program is available only for select flagship devices, including the Galaxy S25 series, in Korea, the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, India, and Poland. However, the Beta Program page itself is available for all devices, including the ineligible ones.

However, there has been confusion with the fact that this notification also confirms the Beta banner for the upcoming version of One UI, called One UI 8, which misled some users into thinking that their device, even if the notification itself is delivered to Beta ineligible devices like the Galaxy A16, is eligible for the beta program.

This is a general notification posted to the Samsung Members notices page to ensure that everyone knows about the new procedure for the Beta Program participation, should they have a Beta Program eligible device in the future.

“Rachel Halton still doesn’t know who made the decision, in October 2022, to summarily decommission the $160,000 #JacquardLoom that had been a cornerstone of #RMIT’s renowned #weaving and #textile #design courses for 20 years.

Nearly 3 metres high and weighing more than half a tonne, the loom was an intricate machine of polished wood, steel, compressed air and #mechatronics: simultaneously a grand monument to the golden age of the #TextileIndustry and a modern #tool for weaving strands of #yarn into intricate #fabrics. Halton knew she couldn’t let it end up in landfill.”

“The loom was the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere, and one of only a handful in the world, bought for the university’s #Brunswick campus in the early 2000s, soon after Halton started teaching there. It “elevated what you could do as an artist”, she says.

Students enrolled just to have access to it. International artists visited especially to weave on it. It became integral to Halton’s creative practice.”

“Watt has “a very special affinity” with the loom. It isn’t just the time she spent working on it at RMIT, or that it sat in her home for months after it was rescued. She’s also been using her coding skills – self-taught – to update its electronics. It’s as though technology is lapping back on itself, given that #Jacquard #PunchCards inspired the basis of #ModernComputing.”

This is why Australia can’t compute.

For many people, hot water isn’t something they have to think about a lot. It’s just there when they need it for the most part. But not so much for those who are road-tripping and tent camping at, say, music festivals this summer. That’s where BougeRV’s battery-powered shower comes in. The $310 outdoor water heater “delivers a luxurious spray of hot steaming water to the unwashed, be they human, canine, or stubborn pots and pans,” writes tech editor Thomas Ricker.
