Surveys show Google desperately needs to do much better with Pixel battery defects

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-22 10:30:46

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority Google’s mid-range Pixel phones have suffered from a litany of battery issues. The company issued updates to some Pixel 4a and Pixel 6a models that effectively reduced battery capacity in a bid to prevent overheating. This comes after some users reported device fires. The issues haven’t ended here, as Google is now offering free battery replacements for some Pixel 7a models due to battery swelling. Will these issues affect the Pixel 9a? I have my reservation

I’d pay for a decoy PIN and profile on my Android phone, and I’m not alone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-22 11:00:20

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority A few days ago, my colleague Calvin shared an interesting fact about GrapheneOS: The custom ROM allows him to set a duress PIN that completely erases the phone when he enters it, including encryption keys and the eSIM partition. It’s a very drastic privacy measure that lets anyone protect their data if they’re being forced to hand over or unlock their phone when they don’t want to do it. I love that the feature exists for those who think they might need it, e

The Morning After: Insta360’s first drone is unlike anything else

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-22 11:15:55

The Insta360 Antigravity A1 is a new 360-degree FPV drone from a spin-off brand called Antigravity. The A1 includes a drone, OLED Vision goggles and a Grip motion controller — it’s more of a set. The drone has two ultrawide cameras that can capture 8K video, and it uses stitching algorithms to make the drone invisible in the final footage. When I tested out the preproduction model in Germany, the flying experience is different but surprisingly intuitive, even for new pilots, and the goggles str

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has announced sanctions against Grinex, the successor to Russian cryptocurrency exchange Garantex, which was previously sanctioned for helping ransomware gangs launder their money. A TRM Labs report, released in April, revealed that Grinex has strong ties to Garantex's previous operations, but stopped short of providing evidence that it was being used for illicit transactions. Grinex was promoted on Telegram channels linked to Garantex soon after U.S. author

Plex has notified some of its users on Thursday to urgently update their media servers due to a recently patched security vulnerability.

Swiss vs. UK approach to major tranport projects

Start with the timetable So, let’s imagine the UK had done this in 2008. What might the planners have noticed? Well, first up, they'd have spotted that our major cities need more frequent and faster rail connections from suburbs to centres and that these are prevented at the moment by insufficient platform capacity in stations like Leeds, Manchester Piccadilly and Birmingham New Street. So we need more station capacity in our city centres. They'd have identified that many suburban lines into

How Long Can I Keep Fresh Chicken in the Fridge

Using meat delivery services has made it easy to have everything I need for cooking dinner delivered right to my door. But while getting fresh chicken so quickly has made it easy to figure out what I make, I've realized I don't always finish everything I've ordered. This means I'm often using leftovers for lunch the next day.

If you've had your Android phone for a while, you might have noticed that its battery life isn't what it used to be. Most modern Android phones boast impressive battery life, often lasting a full day or more on a single charge. Still, the more you use your phone, the faster that battery drains. Activities like watching videos and using navigation apps tend to drain your battery faster than usual, as do certain software and apps. Older phones also generally have shorter battery life.

Porsche’s best daily driver 911? The 2025 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid review.

Porsche 911 enthusiasts tend to be obsessive about their engines. Some won't touch anything that isn't air-cooled, convinced that everything went wrong when emissions and efficiency finally forced radiators into the car. Others love the "Mezger" engines; designed by engineer Hans Mezger, they trace their roots to the 1998 Le Mans-winning car, and no Porschephile can resist the added shine of a motorsports halo.

Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux

news.ycombinator.com Mark Stosberg 2025-12-19 04:00:04

On Linux, Control-C and Control-V don't work for copying and pasting in terminals. The Control modifier is used for its original purpose of inserting control codes. Instead, terminal apps require an extra Shift modifier, like Control+Shift+C. But what if there were hidden shortcut combos for copy and paste on Linux that work across most apps without adding any additional software or configuration? By the end of 2025, this will be the case, and many apps already support them. Here's the scoop!
