Google Photos may soon consolidate all creation tools in one colorful new tab (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos could soon get a new tab to give users easier access to the app’s creation tools. We’ve spotted the upcoming Create tab while digging through the latest release, but it’s not live yet. The tab will house the Collage, Highlight Video, Cinematic photo, Animation, and the upcoming Photo to video and Remix tools. Google Photos offers several tools to help users create highlight videos, cinematic photos, collages, and more with their images.

CISA tags Citrix Bleed 2 as exploited, gives agencies a day to patch

The U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency has confirmed active exploitation of the CitrixBleed 2 vulnerability (CVE-2025-5777) in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway and is giving federal agencies one day to apply fixes. Such a short deadline for installing the patches is unprecedented since CISA released the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, showing the severity of the attacks exploiting the security issue. The agency added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabiliti

This $210 Android tablet feels just like my Surface Pro - and the battery is just as good

ZDNET's key takeaways Tabwee's 10-inch tablet with Android 15 is available on Amazon for $210. It features a large 5,000mAh battery for decent runtime, and comes with a folio case, keyboard, stylus, and a mouse. The hardware has its limitations for more demanding tasks. $219.99 at Amazon It amazes me just how much bang for your buck you can get if you choose an Android tablet over an iPad these days. While the cheapest new iPad will set you back at least $300, you can get some absolutely amaz

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 just sold me on a foldable iPhone

For years, I’ve been snickering at foldable phones, the perpetual “next big thing” that never quite gets here. And while I still think Samsung is mostly winning in this market by walkover, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 might have just made Apple’s case for what a foldable iPhone could look like. And I like it. The double-stacked tradeoff was always a dealbreaker Ever since its first edition, Samsung’s flagship foldable has looked to me like a bulky prototype that somehow escaped the lab. Sure, the compa

Not enough foldable phones are priced for people who just want to try them out without going broke. We used to love pointing readers to deals on the Microsoft Surface Duo, which have since gone extinct, it seems. And, the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE? $900 isn’t all that cheap, actually. So, this Prime Day deal on the original Google Pixel Fold will have to do. The 256GB versio

The best dorm room essentials for college students

If you like retreating to your corner of the dorm room to watch shows on your tablet, the HoverBar Duo 2 can make the viewing experience a lot more comfortable. The first-gen model easily made the list of our favorite iPad accessories, and the new generation improves upon that model with a quick-switch tab to swap out the weighted base for a clamp. It’ll work with just about any tablet-sized slab from five to 8.68 inches — so ereaders and even smartphones should fit. The handy accessory can tur

Cybersecurity’s global alarm system is breaking down

Cybersecurity practitioners have since flooded Discord channels and LinkedIn feeds with emergency posts and memes of “NVD” and “CVE” engraved on tombstones. Unpatched vulnerabilities are the second most common way cyberattackers break in, and they have led to fatal hospital outages and critical infrastructure failures. In a social media post, Jen Easterly, a US cybersecurity expert, said: “Losing [CVE] would be like tearing out the card catalog from every library at once—leaving defenders to sor

Google’s foldable Pixel phones are in serious trouble

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The foldable Android market got a lot more interesting this week. At its latest Unpacked event on July 9, Samsung unveiled a trio of new folding phones. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 ushers in the most impressive foldable hardware from Samsung ever, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 gives Samsung’s flip phone the larger cover screen we’ve waited years for, and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE adds a much-needed affordable option to Samsung’s foldable lineup. But while the new Fold and Flips a

This ‘Molecular Shield’ Might Stop Pollen Before It Wrecks Your Nose

Every year, pollen seasons grow longer and more intense—to the great misery of those suffering from pollen allergies—myself included. There’s only so much one can do with antihistamines or hot towels, and no amount of protective measures—masks, firmly shut windows, you name it—appears to offer any protection from the endless sneezing, runny noses, and itchy eyes. But what if, by spraying something akin to a nasal spray, you could thwart the onslaught of those pesky allergens before they latch o

Measuring the impact of AI on experienced open-source developer productivity

We conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to understand how early-2025 AI tools affect the productivity of experienced open-source developers working on their own repositories. Surprisingly, we find that when developers use AI tools, they take 19% longer than without—AI makes them slower. We view this result as a snapshot of early-2025 AI capabilities in one relevant setting; as these systems continue to rapidly evolve, we plan on continuing to use this methodology to help estimate AI accel

Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY does not scale

At Recall.ai, we run an unusual workload. We record millions of hours of meetings every month. Each of these meetings generates a large amount of data we need to reliably capture and analyze. Some of that data is video, some of it is audio and some of it is structured data – transcription, events and metadata. The structured data gets written to our Postgres database by tens of thousands of simultaneous writers. Each of these writers is a “meeting bot”, which joins a video call and captures the

Pharmaceutical scientists come up against a hard limitations here on Earth: gravity. Varda Space wants to change that.
