By Jackson Chung August 5, 2026

Crews in Jeddah have pushed the Jeddah Tower, previously known as the JEC Tower, past another hard-won mark. The structure now stands 430 meters high with 107 floors finished, a clear signal that the long-stalled project has regained serious momentum.

Samsung took a hard look at how people actually use big foldable screens and decided the tall, narrow shape everyone had gotten used to was not the full story. The Galaxy Z Fold8, priced at $1,900 with $350 Amazon GC, arrives with a shorter, wider body that feels closer to a passport than a phone book, and that single change unlocks a far better experience for videos, games, and everything in between.

Styrofoam Turned Gasoline Can Be Used to Run a Generator

By Jackson Chung August 5, 2026

Most people toss old packaging foam in the trash without a second look. Joel from the Lowered Expectations channel decided to turn a pile of it into something that powers a small engine instead.
