| It's Saturday, October 19, 2019. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Welcome to your weekend! This morning is a great time to catch up on all of Google’s new hardware, our re-review of the Galaxy Fold and some exciting news items from Friday. That includes Nike’s accessible Air Jordans and Google’s parent company getting into the drone delivery business in the US. (View in browser.) FlyEase makes it easy to get sneakers off and on without changing their looks. At a glance, the AJI High FlyEase appears to be just like any other Air Jordan 1, but its new technology is going to be a welcome change for the accessibility community. The adaptive system is made up of a zipper mechanism that ties around the heel, a Velcro strap for the ankle area, an adjustable tongue and laces that don't need to be tied. Together, all these FlyEase features can create a way for simple, one-handed entry, into the shoes. | | Sponsored Content by Stack Commerce | | Just can't trust it. Yeah, we’re back here again. Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is one of those devices that inspires adoration and annoyance at the same time. Its foldable design means you can carry around a tablet in your pocket and get plenty of work done along the way. The Fold’s power and flexibility are nothing short of intoxicating, but it leaves much to be desired. Closed, it’s chunky and clumsy, and Chris Velazco has serious concerns about how well its main screen will hold up over time -- our review unit's display developed dead and stuck pixels out of the blue, and there are other units with more pronounced blemishes. The Galaxy Fold offers a glimpse at the future of smartphones and gives Samsung a potent foundation to build on, but almost no one should consider buying one right now. | | Sudo make me a sandwich. If you've used the command line in Linux or a Unix-based platform like macOS, you're probably familiar with the "sudo" command, which lets you run tasks with different (usually elevated) permissions than you'd otherwise have. It's powerful, but it was apparently too powerful until now. Developers have fixed a sudo flaw that lets you claim root-level access even if the configuration explicitly forbids it. Linux users can update to a newer sudo package (1.8.28 or later) to fix the flaw. You might not be immediately vulnerable as any attacker will need to have command line control over your system before they can even consider exploiting the flaw -- at that point, you probably have larger problems. | | The free trial is almost up -- time to make a decision. Apple’s $5 monthly subscription gaming package is here, and several Engadget editors are already hooked. Whether that’s due to a particular game they can’t shake, or because it can keep their kids away from microtransaction-heavy minigames, there’s apparently something for everyone. We’ll see how long that lasts. | | But wait, there's more... | | | |
