androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-26 07:17:42

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google Maps is testing a Material 3 Expressive-style redesign on Wear OS 5. The new UI features larger icons and an improved layout.

Bzip2 crate switches from C to 100% rust

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-26 06:06:54

Today we published bzip2 version 0.6.0 , which uses our rust implementation of the bzip2 algorithm, libbz2-rs-sys , by default. The bzip2 crate is now faster and easier to cross-compile. The libbz2-rs-sys crate can also be built as a C dynamic library, if you have a C project that would benefit from these improvements. Why though? Why bother working on this algorithm from the 90s that sees very little use today? The thing is that many protocols and libraries still need to support bzip2 to be

Streaming Has Overtaken Traditional TV for the First Time Ever

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-26 06:35:00

Streaming became the most popular single form of TV usage years ago, but that was not its final hurdle. The juggernaut of broadcast and cable television combined meant that consumers were still using traditional TV services more than streaming overall, even if streaming was more popular than either of them individually. According to data from Nielsen, streaming just overcame this final hurdle. Nielsen says that in May, cable television accounted for 24.1% of all TV usage and broadcast TV repres

EVs dominate the most American-made cars index and it’s not just because of Tesla

techcrunch.com Kirsten Korosec 2025-09-26 06:57:17

Tesla vehicles took the four top spots of the 2025 American-Made Index (AMI), an annual list calculated by Cars.com that ranks qualifying vehicles built and bought in the United States. Tesla’s dominance in the AMI isn’t new. The U.S. automaker, which assembles its four light-duty passenger vehicles in Texas and California, has landed in the top 10 ever since it started participating in the annual ranking five years ago. This year, the Model 3 was ranked as the most “American-made” vehicle sold

Here are five of my favorite iOS 26 features that you might’ve missed

Apple unveiled iOS 26 last week at WWDC 2025. While Liquid Glass and iPadOS certainly stole the show, there’s a number of smaller features for iPhone users that I think a lot of people will still enjoy, and I’ll be diving into them here.

Iranian state television on Tuesday afternoon urged the country’s public to remove the messaging platform WhatsApp from their smartphones, alleging the app — without offering specific evidence — gathered user information to send to Israel. In a statement, WhatsApp said it was “concerned these false reports will be an excuse for our services to be blocked at a time when people need them the most.” WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption, meaning a service provider in the middle can’t read a message.
