Google made the battery and display especially easy to remove. As other brands continue to make their smartphones increasingly difficult to repair, it appears Google has gone the opposite direction with the Pixel 10. The Pixel 10 Pro XL has now been fully disassembled in a new teardown video. This vi

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Users are reporting that there’s an issue with the Pixelsnap Ring Stand. It appears that the screws that hold the ring to the magnetic panel are becoming loose.

I’m what you might call the “Pixel guy” around here. When the Google Pixel 10 series launched, I was, as you can imagine, pretty excited. And for good reason! These are fantastic phones. From the standard Pixel 10 to the Pixel 10 Pro XL and even to the outrageously expensive Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google has delivered a lineup that is refined, intelligent, and a joy to use. I’ve already bought the Pixel 10 Pro, and I have a strong feeling it will be my pick for the best phone of 2025. But as much a
Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Google has relaunched the Pixel Referral Program for the Pixel 10 series, giving users 10 codes to share. A referral code provides a 10% discount on a new Pixel phone for the buyer and gives the referrer a $50 store credit. The credits and discounts are valid until February 28, 2026, and can be stacked with other offers, with some exceptions. Google relaunched the Pixel Referral Program last year for the Pixel 9 series. Users can refer their friends an
Next month, Microsoft is ending support for home editions of its Windows 10 operating system officially. While users may extend support by one year -- business customers get three -- the number of users who will take up Microsoft's offer is unclear. The extension is more or less free, as you get it as a consumer when you enable the backup functionality during the signup process. There is even a tool for that that lets you do all that with a local account and as little interaction as possible. A
Microsoft has fixed a known issue caused by the August 2025 security updates, which triggers unexpected User Account Control (UAC) prompts and app installation problems for non-admin users on all Windows versions. This issue is caused by a security patch that mitigates a Windows Installer privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-50173), which can enable authenticated attackers to gain SYSTEM privileges. To address the CVE-2025-50173 security flaw, Microsoft has implemented new User Account

Scott Brown / Android Authority The Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra are incremental upgrades over the last few generations of flagship tablets from Samsung, with brighter displays, faster processors, and the other improvements you’d expect from the latest in a long line of products. This year, though, there’s no Plus model, leaving the 11-inch Tab S11 and 14.6-inch S11 Ultra. Last year’s Galaxy Tab S10 series made a similar move, dropping the base model and instead offering the 12.4-inch Plus

Motivation For a moderately security conscious geek like myself, there can be a number of reasons to want to set up a home VPN server: Accessing your home computer via screen sharing without exposing it to the Internet (and thereby to potential evil-doers). Accessing servers with IP white lists (common case for security hardened IT systems). Accessing county-IP-filtered things like Netflix while travelling. Browsing privately from insecure WiFi networks. Getting access to services that are blo

Microsoft is ready to leave Windows 10 behind, and security support is due to end in October. If you aren't ready to upgrade to Windows 11, all isn't lost.

All you need to do is enable cloud backup, and connect it with your OneDrive account.
