Samsung has redesigned the Galaxy Fold to address the screen durability issues that torpedoed its launch, Bloomberg reports, with the folding phone soon to begin commercial production. The company still isn’t able to confirm a release date, however, and one person told Bloomberg that the phone is unlikely to resurface at next month’s Galaxy Note 10 event.
Samsung is said to have made the screen’s protective film “flow into the bezels so it would be impossible to peel off by hand.” Previous review units shipped with a film that looked like a removable screen protector, even though removing it would actually destroy the screen — as some reviewers found out.
The Verge’s unit had a different problem, however, developing a strange bulge that ultimately broke the OLED panel. It’s not clear whether Samsung’s re-engineered hinge, which is apparently now flush with the display and stretches the protective film further, would do anything for that issue.
We’ll have to see how that shakes out, but the main takeaway from the Bloomberg report is that the Fold should return sometime this year. When it does, you can expect a lot of scrutiny.

Giertz got tired of waiting for Elon Musk to release Tesla’s first pickup truck, so she made one herself. Simone Giertz was tired of waiting for Elon Musk to unveil his new Tesla pickup truck, so she decided to make one herself. The popular YouTuber and self-described “queen of shitty robots” transformed a Model 3 into an honest-to-god pickup truck, which she dubs “Truckla” — and naturally you can watch all the cutting and welding (and cursing) on her YouTube channel. There’s even a fake truck commercial to go along with it. Giertz spent over a year planning and designing before launching into the arduous task of turning her Model 3 into a pickup truck. And she recruited a ragtag team of mechanics and DIY car modifiers to tackle the project: Marcos Ramirez, a Bay Area maker, mechanic and artist; Boston-based Richard Benoit, whose YouTube channel Rich Rebuilds is largely dedicated to the modification of pre-owned Tesla models; and German des...

Lori Gilbert Kaye, 60, was "a true Eshet Chayil, a Woman of Valor," her friend said. The woman who died Saturday after a gunman opened fire at a synagogue in Poway , near San Diego, died saving the rabbi, her friend said. Lori Gilbert Kaye, 60, was killed in the attack, which occurred on Shabbat, the last day of Passover, and the six-month anniversary of the deadly synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh. Kaye was "a true Eshet Chayil, a Woman of Valor," her friend Audrey Jacobs wrote in a Facebook post. "You were always running to do a mitzvah (good deed) and gave tzedaka (charity) to everyone," Jacobs said. According to CNN , Kaye died after she stepped in between the gunman and the synagogue's founding rabbi, Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein. Goldstein, 57, suffered gunshot wounds to both his index fingers, and will likely lose his right one, a doctor at the Palomar Medical Center reportedly said. As he was being taken into surgery, Goldste...
