The Office of the Pennsylvania Attorney General announced that a ransomware attack is behind the ongoing two-week service outage. In an official statement, Attorney General David W. Sunday Jr. said that the office refused to pay the attackers. “The interruption was caused by an outsider encrypting files in an effort to force the office to make a payment to restore operations.

The Pixel 10 has a new way to customize Quick Settings. Here’s how I created the perfect setup

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-22 06:00:08

Joe Maring / Android Authority There are so many software changes to talk about with the Google Pixel 10, and perhaps one of the biggest is Google’s Material 3 Expressive redesign. We’ve been discussing Material 3 Expressive for a while now, but the Pixel 10 series is the first set of phones to ship with the software in a fully finished build. As I’ve been testing all the various Material 3 Expressive updates on the Pixel 10 Pro, something that has stood out to me is the new Quick Settings UI.

JBL’s Grip Is the Tallboy of Portable Bluetooth Speakers

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-23 08:00:01

I’ve seen a lot of influences for wireless audio products (single-use pill packaging and cassette tapes, for example), but JBL’s Grip is a first. According to JBL, the Grip, a new smallish Bluetooth speaker announced at IFA 2025 that focuses on portability, is modeled after the proportions of a seltzer can. To be honest, my first thought was a tallboy, but maybe that says more about me than it does JBL. No matter what you think of when you see the Grip, it sounds like a solid Bluetooth speaker

When Carson Szeder turned five dollars into more than a thousand by betting on an NFL game last year, he knew he was onto something major. “Definitely my biggest win,” he says. He hadn’t scored because he was especially deft at football analytics—or because he was particularly lucky. Instead, he says he used an AI program to help him decide how to gamble.

India’s Offgrid raises $15M to make lithium optional for battery storage

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-10-23 16:30:00

Lithium has become the default choice for battery-powered systems, but its limitations — from volatile supply chains to short lifespans — are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Offgrid Energy Labs, a deep-tech startup based in India, wants to make lithium less central, especially when it comes to battery storage. The seven-year-old startup, incubated at IIT Kanpur, has developed a proprietary zinc-bromine-based battery system as an alternative to lithium-ion technology. Called ZincGel,

F1 in Hungary: Strategy and fast tire changes make all the difference

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Chinese regulatory filing suggests that the Galaxy S26 Edge could have a smaller battery than previously rumored. The listing hints at a 4,200mAh battery rather than a 4,400mAh battery. This would still be an improvement over the Galaxy S25 Edge. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge might be the most polarizing Android phone of 2025. The device has a very slim and light design, but this form factor comes at the expense of battery life.

Most American students learn in high school about the 1856 “caning” of Senator Charles Sumner by Representative Preston Brooks. Teachers love the incident because it serves as a tidy encapsulation of so many themes from that period of American history. The attack stemmed, like so many problems in the 1850s, from the dispute over slavery. Sumner was a fierce abolitionist who had recently given an aggressive speech opposing the Kansas-Nebraska Act. In that speech, he attacked Senator Andrew Butle
