Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Thanks to Google’s preponed release timeline, Android 16 has been out for Pixels since June. Samsung also launched phones with stable One UI 8 in July. The company has confirmed that more Galaxy devices will receive the stable update this month. Meanwhile, other Android manufacturers, such as OPPO, Xiaomi,vivo, and OnePlus, are now expected to announce their Android 16-based updates by October, which is far behind Google and Samsung’s rollout.

Disney will pay $10 million to settle claims by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that it mislabeled videos for children on YouTube, which allowed the collection of kids' personal information without their consent or notification to their parents. This occurred after the entertainment giant failed to tag kid-directed videos on YouTube as "Made for Kids" (MFK), a label that instructs the video streaming platform to block personal data collection and stop serving personalized ads on correctly des

For the past two years, the U.S. has been supplying tens of billions of dollars worth of military aid to Israel so that it can bomb the living crap out of the civilian population in Gaza. Now, as multiple human rights organizations accuse Israel of committing genocide in the region, America’s billionaire developer president seems to think it’s time to spin the bloodshed into real estate gold.

For years, there have been just two options for better TV sound: A traditional, AV receiver-based home theater system or a soundbar. The AV receiver route is undeniably the best way to go for a truly cinematic experience, but only the most diehard audiophiles are willing to deal with hulking metal boxes, yards of speaker wire, and a minimum of five speakers (plus a subwoofer) that must be placed just so.
