Samsung could finally tackle shutter lag with this Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-09 00:28:32

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A long-time leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will retain the same 200MP main camera as its predecessors. This main camera sensor will apparently be accompanied by a wider aperture. This latest leak comes after a wild rumor that the S26 Ultra would offer a larger 200MP sensor. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has been on the market for just over six months, but we’ve already encountered a ton of Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks. We previously heard that the new pho

Apple TV+: MLS commissioner shares confusing Season Pass viewership numbers

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-01-08 14:05:43

Apple tends to be pretty tight-lipped when it comes to viewership data. But in a midseason press conference earlier today, Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber offered a rare (but puzzling) update on how MLS Season Pass has been performing in 2025. According to Garber (via Sports Business Journal), matches are averaging 120,000 unique viewers per game, a figure he said represents a 50% increase compared to last year. Interestingly, he said the jump is not necessarily due to the Apple TV

tsbro TypeScript for the Browser. No tooling, no build step, simply works. TypeScript is still second-class citizen with regards to browser adoption, there is a proposal to fix that, but until then we have to use tooling, bundlers, build steps that are an impediment for when you want to quickly create a short demo or PoC. There are ways to run TypeScript code but it can't import other files or make use of remote packages. tsbro solves this by completely bypassing the browser's import system u

Trump, who promised to save TikTok, threatens to shut down TikTok

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-08 11:37:24

Donald Trump vowed to save TikTok before taking office, claiming only he could make a deal to keep the app operational in the US despite national security concerns. But then, he put Vice President JD Vance in charge of the deal, and after months of negotiations, the US still doesn't seem to have found terms for a sale that the Chinese government is willing to approve. Now, Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has confirmed that if China won't approve the latest version of the deal—which coul

How a Y Combinator food-delivery app used TikTok to soar in the App Store

techcrunch.com Dominic-Madori Davis 2026-01-09 04:00:00

The internet trend is simple: A friend or family member looks into the camera and tells viewers, in a slightly aggressive tone, that they are about to witness a presentation and that they better be nice. That’s what Kendall, the sister of Lucious McDaniel IV, did, and after she stepped aside, her brother pitched his company, BiteSight, a food-delivery app that lets users watch videos of food before ordering.
