Buyers like the matte finish and near-invisible crease, but some users report the internal display cracking near the hinge, in one case just six hours after unboxing. A YouTuber's stress test of 10,000 folds showed the hinge holding up while the crease became visible. Meanwhile Galaxy Z Fold 8 sales in Europe are apparently up 45% year-over-year, with search traffic rising right after the Duo reveal. The episode also covers Spotify's new QR-code verification for family plans, a $25 billion Meta privacy fine in New Mexico, and a stolen shipment of RTX 5090 GPUs in Sao Paulo. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
