Girl Scout cookies are universally adored, but incredibly hard to find — unless you know a Girl Scout. After years of selling cookies the old-fashioned way, Girl Scouts will now have their own websites and apps to help them sell cookies digitally. Of course, you’ll still have to find your local troop, but there’s an app for that!

Using the Girl Scout Cookie Finder app, you can search for the troop nearest you and then connect with a Girl Scout. Just tell a scout your email address, and she’ll email you a link to her cookie selling site. There, you’ll be able to see her profile, learn what she plans to do with the money she earns from cookie sales, and place your cookie order. The new Digital Cookie initiative is the first major change the organization has made to its cookie sale system since the tradition first began in 1917.

The Digital Cookie program is intended to teach the girls about online entrepreneurship, handling transactions online, and setting up their own websites. More than 1 million scouts are expected to use the new digital cookie sales technique, but not every troop will join in. The Girl Scouts organization leaves it up to the troop and each girl’s parents, whether they want to participate or not. For the most part, Girl Scouts and their parents seem excited about it. However, no one is more thrilled about digital cookie sales than the Girl Scout cookie loving American public.

You can download the Cookie Finder app right now on the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, but you can’t actually search for Girl Scout cookie sellers yet. There’s still 10 days, 9 hours, and a bunch of minutes left before sales start. In the meantime, you can meet the cookies on the app and drool over the pictures of Samoas, Trefoils, Do-si-dos, and Tagalongs.

A new leak teases how thin the Galaxy S25 Slim will be — and it’s impressive
Side profile of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 "Slim" has been part of the rumor mill for a while now. If you've missed it, here's what you need to know: It almost certainly does exist, and it's expected to launch sometime during the middle of 2025, instead of next month like the rest of the Galaxy S25 lineup. And now, we have a better idea of just how thin this phone might actually be.

Well-known tipster Ice Universe shared the information on Weibo, stating that its thickness "may be 6.x mm." In other words, the leaker isn't sure of the exact thickness, but expects it to fall between 6mm and 6.9mm.

Google Photos is getting a cool new feature to speed up your photo edits
Google Photos' year in review feature for 2024.

Google Photos for Android is introducing a new feature that simplifies photo editing right before sharing. A tipster from Android Authority first reported this tool.

The new “Quick Edit” tool lets users easily enhance or crop individual photos before sharing them. It features an “Enhance” button, which functions similarly to the “Enhance” effect in the standard photo-editing options. A crop button is also similar to the one in the regular photo editor. When multiple photos are selected before hitting the share button, the typical share sheet appears instead of the new “Quick Edit” screen.

The base model Galaxy S25 will get a RAM upgrade we’ve waited years for

Back in November, we heard rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S25 might come with an upgraded amount of RAM compared to the base Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra both start with 12GB of RAM minimum, but until now, the majority of base-model Samsung handsets only had 8GB.

Abhishek Yadav, a known leaker, shared a post on X that said the base storage variant of the Galaxy S25 would come with 12GB of RAM. This also implies that the base storage is likely to be 256GB too. As apps, operating systems, and integrated AI become more powerful, so do their technical requirements. A bump to the base amount of RAM and storage will yield improved performance (hopefully) without a significant cost increase.
