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

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-22 01:30:19

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

A new Moto 360 is coming, but maybe not like you’d expect

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-22 01:38:56

TL;DR Leaked renders have provided us with our first glimpse of the new Moto 360 (2025) smartwatch. Unlike the last Moto 360, this one is reportedly made by Motorola itself, rather than a third-party company. Currently, it’s unclear whether the Moto 360 (2025) will run Wear OS, a scaled-back RTOS, or both. The Moto 360 will forever be one of the most memorable Android smartwatches, and according to a new leak, an updated 2025 model may be on the way soon. On Monday, Android Headlines publishe

Over the past few decades, an astonishing pattern has taken place: Americans no longer migrate. From a peak of roughly one third of the country moving cities in a single year, today, migration rates have declined and are now in line with the Old Continent of Europe. The dynamism of the American economy was predicated on all kinds of people seeking out work and building families, but now that mobility is gone — and we need to find out why.

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.

Astronomers Spot Companion Star in Orbit Around Iconic Star Betelgeuse, Confirming Suspicions

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.
