Samsung Launches Mobile Wallet App to Compete With Apple and Google

Samsung Launches Mobile Wallet App to Compete With Apple and Google

What's happening

Samsung just launched its mobile wallet platform for storing digital IDs, credit cards, car keys and other essentials.

Why it matters

Smartphone makers are attempting to replace the physical wallet with digital alternatives. Google recently announced a similar revamp to its Wallet app, while Apple is adding new features to Apple Pay.

Samsung is the latest tech giant trying to replace your physical wallet with a digital one that lives on your phone. The company on Thursday launched Samsung Wallet, a new mobile wallet for storing digital keys, boarding passes, ID cards and credit cards. Apple and Google announced major updates for their own virtual wallet platforms in recent weeks.

Samsung previously announced its mobile wallet in February alongside the Galaxy S22, but only just launched the platform on Thursday. Samsung is merging two existing services to create Samsung Wallet. The app combines Samsung Pay, its mobile payment service for storing payment cards and vaccine records, and Samsung Pass, which manages passwords and login information for apps and websites. 

The unified app signals an expansion of Samsung's efforts to make its service better compete with those offered by Apple and Google. Samsung Wallet is launching via an app update, and Galaxy device owners can migrate their information directly from the Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pass apps. 

Samsung Wallet will support official forms of identification such as driver's licenses and student IDs later this year. Google also announcement in May that it's working with governments to incorporate IDs into Google Wallet. Apple Wallet already supports virtual IDs in several states.

Samsung also wants its wallet app to serve as a hub for digital keys to your car and home, functionality that's already availableon the iPhone. The company says it's working with nine home security companies on virtual home keys, and Samsung Wallet will also integrate with the company's SmartThings platform. As for car keys, Samsung Wallet will support digital car keys for certain BMW, Hyundai and Genesis models. Korean Air will also be Samsung's first partner for storing digital boarding passes.

In addition to storing traditional payment methods like credit, debit and loyalty cards, Samsung will also allow users to manage their cryptocurrencies from its new Wallet app. The entire platform is protected by Samsung's Knox security software. 

American are increasingly embracing the idea of replacing their physical credit cards with digital ones. Usage of in-store mobile payment services is expected to surpass 50% of all smartphone users in the US by 2025, says a 2021 report from eMarketer. 

Now, tech companies are developing more comprehensive alternatives to the traditional wallet, a mission that Google and Apple both made clear during their recent press events. "With Apple Wallet, we're working hard on our goal to replace your physical wallet," Corey Fugman, Apple's senior director for Wallet and Apple Pay, said during the company's Worldwide Developers Conference last week. 

Adoption is estimated to take off in the coming years. One in two people are expected to use a mobile wallet by 2025, according to a July 2021 report from financial tech company Boku and market research company Juniper Research. The launch of Samsung Wallet is also another sign that tech companies are increasingly relying on apps and services to lock in existing users.

Apple, AMD launch Mac Pro GPU modules for RX 6000 Pro series

Apple, AMD launch Mac Pro GPU modules for RX 6000 Pro series

As of Tuesday, Apple has begun to replace the top-end Vega 2 Pro MPX Module GPU options with the newer-generation RDNA2-based Radeon Pro RX W6000X series for Mac Pros, which now lets you configure a system with up to four GPUs. Existing customers will still be able to buy Radeon Pro Vega 2 and Radeon Pro Vega 2 Duo modules, and new configuration options still include the creaky Radeon Pro 580X and the last-gen W5000X Pro series.

The RX 6800 and 6900 architectures are optimized for working with high-resolution assets and promise a solid speed boost for the Mac Pro in real-time rendering, interactive 3D responsiveness, video editing and more. Apple says there's a performance bump of up to 84% in Octane X, up to a 26% higher frame rate in 3D interaction in Cinema 4D and up to 23% speedier performance in DaVinci Resolve. Presumably, those are increases over the old Pro Vega 2 modules, and make sense given the generational speed increases we typically see in GPUs.

The modules are based around a similar (but not identical) GPU to the W6000 Pro series designed for PCs and have the same basic silicon -- the same 80 or 60 compute units (with 64 stream cores each), 128GB Infinity cache per GPU, same 256-bit memory interface and so on. They also use the same veteran Infinity Fabric that bypasses the PCI bus for GPU-to-GPU communication, a big deal for the Duo, and have substantial on-chip cache, which is necessary for managing the bulkier data associated with pro creative workflows. 

Radeon Pro 6000 series module specs

	AMD Radeon Pro W6900X	AMD Radeon Pro W6800X	AMD Radeon Pro W6800X Duo
Compute units	80	60	120 (total)
Stream processors	5,120	3,840	7,680 (total)
Memory interface	256-bit	256-bit	256-bit (per GPU)
FP32 TFLOPS	Up to 22	Up to 16	Up to 30.2
Infinity cache	128MB	128MB	256MB (total)
Total graphics power	300W	300W	400W
GDDR6 memory	32GB	32GB	64GB (total)
Price	$5,600 for single, $11,600 for duo	$2,400	$5,200 for Duo, $9,600 for dual Duos

They've got twice the memory of the consumer products, though, which makes a big performance difference. It also accounts for a chunk of the high price: GDDR6 is expensive and likely to get more so thanks to ongoing chip shortages. (Apple says its systems are "assembled in the US," though that doesn't insulate it from component shortages.) Plus the special sauce Apple mixes in. But they cost the same as the modules they replace, so no price shocks there.

The modules still include four Thunderbolt 3 ports and an HDMI 2 connection from the GPU. The latter is odd, since you'd have expected Apple to switch to HDMI 2.1, especially since other cards using the GPU already support it.

Stop Throwing Away Your Food Scraps: Repurpose Them to Save Money

This story is part of Home Tips, CNET's collection of practical advice for getting the most out of your home, inside and out.

When preparing a meal at home, many of us simply throw out the bones, peels and scraps that aren't going to be used in the dish. And after the meal, we scrape all the leftovers on our plate into the trash or down the garbage disposal. While this may seem like the easiest way to clean up, most of the food you're tossing out is edible or reusable, resulting in huge amounts of food waste -- and wasted money. 

Nearly 40% of all food in the US is wasted, adding up to 108 billion pounds of food every year, according to Feeding America. That's 130 billion meals and $408 billion being thrown away each year. 

While much of that waste does occur during the production and distribution stages before the food ever makes it to the grocery store, about 39% of food waste occurs in our own kitchens. With inflation spiking, gas prices rising and utility bills skyrocketing this summer, finding ways to save money just makes sense. Eliminating food waste in your kitchen is one great method to save. Here's what to do with those food scraps. (For more money-saving tips, check out these ways to save money on items you buy regularly and the common cooking mistake that's ramping your electric bill.)

What counts as food scraps?

There's a difference between food loss and food waste. 

The USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) defines food loss as "the edible amount of food, postharvest, that is available for human consumption but is not consumed for any reason." Food loss is specifically about what is edible, while food waste is often expanded to include foods not edible to humans like banana peels, bones and egg shells.

For the purposes of this article, I'm going to define food scraps as anything edible or nonedible that is being thrown away. I am using this more expansive term because many scraps like bones and peels can still be recycled for cooking or other purposes. As I'll explain down below, so many of the items you put in the trash can be reused, recycled or at least composted. Here are some of the main things you can do with the food you might otherwise throw away.

What can you do instead of throwing food out?

There are several ways to reduce food waste and save money. For starters, it's best to:

• Shop realistically and with a plan. I always recommend planning out your meals in advance and only buying what you have on your grocery list. 
• Try to coupon and join grocery stores' rewards plans. 
• Buy produce that's in season (it's cheaper).
• Cook in reasonable portions. Cooking the whole box of pasta seems easier, but you're more likely to throw some out rather than eating pasta for four straight days. 
• Eat your leftovers. Plan to eat your dinner leftovers for lunch the next day to ensure the food is eaten. 
• Avoid a cluttered fridge and pantry (we have tips for organizing your fridge here).
• Preserve the shelf life of the food in your fridge , including your fruits and veggies. 
  
• Know that sell-by/expiration dates are flexible. 
• Be better about freezing your food in time. 

But once you already have the food, what should you do with it? I have some recommendations. Not every part of a fruit or vegetable can be saved; sometimes you will just have to throw food out. But if you're going through your fridge or pantry with the intent of throwing stuff out, try these tricks instead. 

There are so many creative, unexpected ways to use those leftover food scraps.

Fruit scraps

• Bananas a little too ripe? Make banana bread or simply freeze the banana to later use in a smoothie. 
• Use apricot peels, and apple cores and peels to make jams. 
• Save fruit scraps (peels, tops or cores) and boil in a pot of water on the stove to make your home smell fresh.
  
• Use orange peels to clean your kitchen and defunk your garbage disposal. 
• Put lemon and lime peels down the garbage disposal to remove the stink.

Veggie scraps

• Use onion peels, tips of carrots, broccoli and celery trunks, and scallion and garlic bits to make a vegetable stock. You can simply place the scraps (frozen or not) in a pot with water. Add seasonings to taste and boil for about 10 minutes.
• Use leftover bits of your tomato (the peels, ends and juice) to use for a tomato sauce. 
• Mince and freeze leftover herbs in oil or water. You can even grow your own to save extra money. 
• Use veggie stalks for soups. There's so many delicious recipes for broccoli stalk soup. 
• Bake or air-fry veggie scraps into crispy veggie chips.
• Use leftover seeds, pits and cuttings of your veggies and plant them in your garden to regrow more.

Other food scraps

• Use your dried out bread to make homemade croutons and breadcrumbs from soups and salads.
• Reuse coffee grinds for DIY exfoliants and scrubs.
• Use old wine for cooking and simmering dishes.
• Make chicken and beef broths from leftover bones. 

The bottom line

There are many creative, unexpected ways to use those leftover food scraps. Not only will you feel like a pro in the kitchen, but you'll save money by stretching out your grocery store trips and the food your purchase. And that's not to mention the environmental benefits of reducing the food that heads to the landfill. Reducing food waste will in turn reduce methane emissions and your carbon footprint.

Plus, if you can't reuse your scraps in the kitchen or around the house, you can always use grounds, rinds, peels, cores, clippings and legumes to start a compost pile.

High-tech composters, like Whirlpool's Zera, can turn food scraps into compost in a matter of hours.
