Reddit users can no longer see how many people are subscribed to their favorite subreddit communities. The platform has announced that it’s removing the member count metric that appears on subreddit pages — located under the page bio on the right for desktop users, or at the top under the subreddit name on mobile — to better focus on real-time engagement. The member count is being replaced by two metrics. One shows how many users have visited a subreddit in the past seven days, “based on a roll

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-10-28 00:00:00

Three former Google X scientists aim to give you a second brain virtually — not in the sci-fi or chip-in-your-head sense — but through an AI-powered app that gains context by listening to everything you say in the background. Their startup, TwinMind, has raised $5.7 million in seed funding and released an Android version, along with a new AI speech model. It also has an iPhone version. Co-founded in March 2024 by Daniel George (CEO) and his former Google X colleagues Sunny Tang and Mahi Karim (

Apple failed to solve my biggest fear about the iPhone Air

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-28 07:00:51

Joe Maring / Android Authority The rumors about the iPhone Air were true. Just a few months after Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, Apple has thrown its hat in the ring with its own ultra-thin iPhone. At first glance, the iPhone Air does look impressive. The 5.6mm body is shockingly thin, the display looks great, and having the latest A19 Pro chip is quite the achievement. However, there was one aspect more than anything else that I was curious to hear about: battery life. The Galaxy S25

YouTube Music didn’t learn from Spotify’s mistake, tries to paywall lyrics

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-28 07:02:29

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube Music is experimenting with paywalling lyrics for its free users. The company is limiting the number of free lyrics views before prompting users to upgrade to a Premium account. This move is similar to what Spotify did, a change it eventually reversed after user backlash. Spotify and YouTube Music are reasonably competitive in their features, with each service having some nice extras. Spotify Connect is a lifesaver if you have multiple devices, wh

The Galaxy S26 Ultra might get a camera downgrade

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-28 07:21:29

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could offer an inferior 3x camera to the S25 Ultra. The phone will apparently use a 3x camera with a smaller sensor, suggesting lower quality photos. We’ve already seen some Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra camera leaks, and we most recently heard that the 3x camera could get a new sensor. Now, it sounds like this might be a downgrade.

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A hidden feature in Android 16 QPR1 offers a new, faster way to reorganize your Quick Settings tiles. Instead of dragging and dropping, you can double-tap a tile to select it and then tap its new position to move it. This method is more precise and avoids the awkward scrolling and accidental drops common with the old way.

Nikon has unveiled its first cinema camera developed in collaboration with the company it acquired last year, RED. The Nikon ZR (the "R" is for "RED" I imagine) is a camera that neither company could have made on its own, marrying RED's color science and video codecs with Nikon's advanced subject detect AF and in-body stabilization.
