Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A firm specializing in X-ray CT scans has investigated the recently recalled Anker power banks.

Although the company didn’t go into details about what was wrong with the device, it did mention that units sold between 2016 and 2022 pose a potential fire safety ris

Google just forced some Pixel 4a holdouts to finally install their battery-nerfing update

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-01 11:30:19

David Imel / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s been dealing with the fallout of bad batteries on the Pixel 4a and Pixel 6a. So far, that’s involved updates that limit charging capacity after a certain number of cycles. While there was a trick to avoid that update on the Pixel 4a, Google seems to have closed the loophole. This year, Google has found itself forced to confront and deal with an awkward problem that’s been casting a shadow across its otherwise largely well-received Pixel smartphon

The special hell of Bolt, Europe's Uber clone

I was in Latvia a few weeks ago. Riga’s one of the Europeans cities without a good transit link from the airport into city. Snooping around online, I found that the recommended way to get a ride was the use of an app called Bolt, a European clone of Uber. I realize now that I didn’t actually check that Uber wasn’t available in Latvia, but I’m not against experimenting with a new app here and there.

Here’s something that will make you lose just a bit more faith in humanity—or at least reach for some hand wipes. New research shows that even in hospitals, a substantial number of people aren’t bothering to wash their hands. Scientists from the University of Surrey in England led the study, installing sensors near hospital toilet and sink pipes to keep track of people’s handwashing. Nearly half of toilet users skipped the sink after flushing, they found. The researchers say more effective stra

In 2024, astronomers surmised that Betelgeuse might have a stellar “buddy.” If this hypothetical companion existed, it would help answer some questions about the red supergiant’s strange glowing patterns. As it turns out, these suspicions were correct.
