androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 17:22:44

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR One UI 8.5 has leaked, and one new feature we’ve already spotted appears to be a system for combatting photosensitive epilepsy. Your phone will detect when video contains flashing lights, and automatically dim the screen. It’s still unclear if this will be available for all devices getting One UI 8.5, and if it will work for gaming. Photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) may often be played for comic effect on shows like The Simpsons, where characters are briefly

Would You Use a Mouse With a Fake ‘Click?’

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-21 21:03:17

Logitech’s race to offer an esports mouse with the fastest response time has led us to a mouse that’s completely different than any I’ve used before. Mice have relied on the same type of microswitches for their button clicks for so long, it’s hard to imagine what would be next. So I didn’t know what to think when I sat down in front of the $180 Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike mouse that doesn’t “click” in the traditional sense. Instead, it uses haptics to offer a facsimile of the classic click sen

DACLab says it can remove CO2 using less electricity than many competitors

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-09-23 21:00:00

The world’s countries may have pledged to cut its carbon pollution, but with global emissions reaching an all-time high last year they’ve fallen far short. Digging out of that hole is going to require removing carbon straight from the atmosphere. But it comes with a hefty price tag, mostly because of the energy required. Removing one metric ton of CO 2 using direct air capture is expected to require around 2,000 kWh of electricity when the technology is sorted and scaled up. One startup called

For a long time, we had a recurring TODO in our calendar: once a month, check whether any Linux distro we test against got a new stable version—or dropped support for an old one. Sounds simple. In reality, it was annoying, error-prone, and we were always late. Someone had to remember, look up release notes, update our CI matrix, and push a commit. Sometimes we missed a release for weeks, even months. Sometimes we forgot to remove an EOL version. It was busywork, not engineering. So we automate
