The original introduction of Dark Mode also made it possible to make macOS more colorful, moving away from the Aqua and Graphite themes that defined macOS X for most of its run. But Tahoe opens things up enough that you can make some truly discordant-looking color combinations. As in iOS and iPadOS, Tahoe manipulates app icons that haven't been updated so that they can change color with the rest of the operating system. Tahoe recognizes three different kinds of icons that all get treated in sli

Samsung killed its classic DeX mode in One UI 8, but there’s a good reason

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-13 08:42:55

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung killed its “classic” DeX in One UI 8, replacing it with a new version built on top of Google’s native Desktop Mode in Android. This move aligns DeX with Google’s broader effort to improve Android’s desktop capabilities, which should benefit DeX in the long run. However, the new DeX is currently a downgrade for users, as it lacks many quality-of-life features that were present in the classic version. Samsung DeX is one of the best features of O

Major Quantum Computing Advance Made Obsolete by Teenager

A teenager from Texas has taken quantum computing down a notch. In a paper posted online earlier this month, 18-year-old Ewin Tang proved that ordinary computers can solve an important computing problem with performance potentially comparable to that of a quantum computer. In its most practical form, the “recommendation problem” relates to how services like Amazon and Netflix determine which products you might like to try.

There is no memory safety without thread safety

There is no memory safety without thread safety Memory safety is all the rage these days. But what does the term even mean? That turns out to be harder to nail down than you may think. Typically, people use this term to refer to languages that make sure that there are no use-after-free or out-of-bounds memory accesses in the program. This is then often seen as distinct from other notions of safety such as thread safety, which refers to programs that do not have certain kinds of concurrency bugs
