I never use a case, but it’s a must on my Pixel 10 Pro

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority Phone cases do a great job of protecting our devices, but nothing can match the feel of a smartphone when its caseless — metal and class is cool to the touch and satisfying in a way no silicone case could ever be. That’s why I’ve mostly gone caseless since last year when I got my Galaxy S24 Ultra. After a few weeks with the Pixel 10 Pro, though, I’ve had to change my ways and buy a phone case because of the way Google built this phone. Do you use a case on y

Elon Musk Is Out to Rule Space. Can Anyone Stop Him?

Just off the Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway, the hotel’s rooftop bar is open late. The bartender passes out shots and turns Ozzy up. It’s 11:37 pm on a hot July night in Cape Canaveral, Florida, when our heads all swivel in the same direction. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket takes off, its orange plume glowing bright, about 12 miles due north up the Banana River. The “Iron Man” riff starts to blast. It’s fun for the couple dozen of us there.

Galaxy S26 Ultra’s display could outshine the iPhone 17, but there’s bad news for S26 Pro, Edge

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy S26 Ultra may feature a new, brighter, and more power-efficient display. The display is rumored to use the new M14 material set and a special CoE technology that removes the polarizer layer, a first for a conventional Galaxy phone.

How Isaac Newton discovered the binomial power series (2022)

But in one letter to his competitor Gottfried Leibniz, now known as the Epistola Posterior, Newton comes off as nostalgic and almost friendly. In it, he tells a story from his student days, when he was just beginning to learn mathematics. He recounts how he made a major discovery equating areas under curves with infinite sums by a process of guessing and checking. His reasoning in the letter is

Bringing Observability to Claude Code: OpenTelemetry in Action
