I know my way around a pair of joysticks — but I’d prefer to soar. I don’t want to think about filming while I’m flying. I’d rather explore. Now, camera maker Insta360 is launching its first drone, under a new drone company, to serve that exact demand. It’s called Antigravity, and in January 2026, it’ll ship a flying 360-degree camera whic

Survey reveals the worst Android phone to buy this month

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Android phones launch throughout the year, so there’s always a new phone to look forward to at any point. Thanks to this never-ending cycle and the ups and downs on discounts, phone recommendations are always in a state of flux—phones that are good to buy right now may not be the best choice later on, and phones that were skippable early in their release cycle can suddenly become insane value after a price drop.

The Galaxy S25 series might be more popular than all other Snapdragon 8 Elite phones combined

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy S25 reportedly sold more units than any other brand’s flagship. The Galaxy S25 series is also claimed to have outsold all other Snapdragon 8 Elite phones combined. The leaker, who shared these statistics, says this makes the regular variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite appear to be a “minority.” Samsung’s efforts with the Galaxy S25’s subtle redesign and extensive focus on AI features appear to have paid off.

CNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 9 Pro is currently on sale with $400 off After months of using Google's Pixel 9 Pro, I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. While Android users do swear by them, a lot of other people consider Android phones to feel overly complex.

Tesla Is Making a Move in New York City That Regulators Absolutely Hate

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-11-26 09:00:47

Tesla is coming in hot in New York City and regulators, legislators and consumers are already pushing back. The electric car company’s latest foray into regulator wrestling comes via a hiring push for autopilot drivers in NYC, despite holding no permits for that service in the city. Given that Tesla has already spent years fighting federal probes, civil and criminal lawsuits and a host of scrutiny from everyone from the SEC to local politicians, its new push appears to be a further continuation

Drag x Drive is more drag than drive

F-Droid build servers can't build modern Android apps due to outdated CPUs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-27 17:43:39

On August 7, 2025, a new build problem started hitting many Android apps on F-Droid. Many Android apps on F-Droid have been unable to publish updates if they use Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 8.12.0 or Gradle 9.0. The root cause: Google’s new aapt2 binary in AGP 8.12.0 started requiring CPU instructions (SSE4.1, SSSE3) that F-Droid’s build farm hardware doesn’t support. This is similar to a 2021 AGP 4.1.0 issue, but it has returned, and now affects hundreds of apps. As an example, my open-source
