Caching is an abstraction, not an optimization

June 30, 2025 Caching is an Abstraction, not an Optimization I've always been told that caching is a tool to make software faster. That, given some careful considerations to consistency, caching makes it so that when you want to read a given piece of data, you don't have to go all the way back to some backend database or API server or SSD and can instead just read from some faster location like memory for the same data. Caching is thus a tool to improve performance. My feelings now are that t

Google is testing a smaller, more reachable Gemini overlay on tablets

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a UI update for the Gemini app on Android tablets that shrinks the size of the overlay. The new overlay is about one-third the width of the screen instead of two-thirds and is anchored to the right side. This updated interface only applies to the standard Gemini experience and seems to be part of a slow server-side rollout. There are a lot of AI chatbots you can talk to these days, but I personally use Google Gemini on all my dev

This crazy thin foldable embarrasses the Galaxy Z Fold 7 even before its launch

Honor TL;DR HONOR has launched the Magic V5 and claims it to be the “world’s thinnest foldable.” The Magic V5 beats the OPPO Find N5, which previously held the thinnest foldable’s title, and will also beat the Galaxy Z Fold 7, given the latter’s rumored thickness is true. The biggest drawback of the HONOR Magic V5 is its limited availability and the low probability of its coming to the US. In merely half a decade since the first foldable phones started hitting the market, the segment has got

Should you buy a cheap Android tablet from Amazon? This model is a surprisingly viable option

ZDNET's key takeaways This is a great value tablet, with a 12-inch display and running Android 15. While performance is on the lower end of the spectrum, this is still more tablet than most people need. The tri-fold case leaves a little to be desired, and there's nowhere to store the stylus. View now at Amazon View now at Blackview more buying choices The quality of budget Android tablets continues to amaze me, and Blackview -- a company renowned for its ruggedized smartphones -- has consiste

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Issues? It Might Just Be Your HDMI Cable

As the Switch 2 continues to sell in the millions for Nintendo, it shouldn't be a surprise that there'd be some issues with the console. It appears, however, that one problem Switch 2 owners are facing is actually just a matter of using the wrong cable. Reddit users have posted about their Joy-Cons disconnecting when they're playing on their Switch 2 while it's docked, an issue spotted earlier by IGN. It does appear that, luckily, the issue can be resolved by using the included HDMI cable for t

New macOS malware targets crypto and Web3 startups with fake Zoom update

North Korean hackers are behind a new and unusually sophisticated macOS malware campaign that targets the crypto industry using fake Zoom invites. Here’s how it works. Dubbed “NimDoor” by researchers at SentinelLabs, the attack is more sophisticated than the typical macOS threat, and it chains together AppleScript, Bash, C++, and Nim to exfiltrate data and maintain access in compromised systems. Here’s SentinelLabs’ executive summary of the hack: DPRK threat actors are utilizing Nim-compiled

NimDoor crypto-theft macOS malware revives itself when killed

North Korean state-backed hackers have been using a new family of macOS malware called NimDoor in a campaign that targets web3 and cryptocurrency organizations. Researchers analyzing the payloads discovered that the attacker relied on unusual techniques and a previously unseen signal-based persistence mechanism. The attack chain, which involves contacting victims via Telegram and luring them into running a fake Zoom SDK update, delivered via Calendly and email, resembles the one Huntress manag

What I learned gathering nootropic ratings (2022)

The effectiveness of a nootropic varies a lot from one person to another (your mileage will vary). This is why I built a nootropic recommendation system Enter ratings on nootropics you’ve tried, and it will spit out nootropics liked by people with similar rating patterns. This was initially based on the 2016 SlateSta

Lovable on track to raise $150M at $2B valuation

Lovable, one of the darlings of the vibe coding world and one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI startups, is working on raising a fresh round of over $150 million at a near $2 billion valuation, the Financial Times reports. The raise and giant step-up in valuation comes just months after the Swedish startup raised a $15 million round led by Creandum in February. The company described that round to TechCrunch as “pre-series A,” but with numbers this large, it’s safe to say that Lovable has jumped f

Business Class Ain’t What It Used to Be. Don’t Tell First Class

Five years ago, Covid-19 largely brought business travel to a halt. Now companies are getting their employees back in the air, and carriers are reinventing themselves to appeal to post-pandemic fliers willing to pay more. Airlines worldwide are reconfiguring the real estate on their planes by segmenting their cabins into higher-margin business-class seating. They’re beefing up their traditional business cabins to snag higher fares while providing more luxurious premium economy seating for trave

Apple’s ‘iPad Fold’ won’t be launching any time soon, per new report

Next year, Apple is expected to debut its first ever foldable iPhone.
