GrapheneOS and Forensic Extraction of Data

Matthai Hi, I am writing an article and I am sharing a draft with you. I will be glad if you share your thoughts and suggestions with me. GrapheneOS is an Android-based, open source, privacy and security-focused mobile operating system for mobile phones. It is one of the most secure and privacy protecting operating systems (and yes, it does this task comparable and in some scenarios even better than iOS, but we will come to that later). However, in the beginning of May, someone started an at

Download the new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro wallpapers [U: iPhone 17]

You know the drill: new iPhones, new wallpapers. And if you liked what you saw during the “Awe Dropping” event, we’ve got you covered. Download the new wallpapers below. iOS now creates its default wallpapers dynamically, reacting to movement and interaction on the device. For this reason, the images below are static versions of those wallpapers. And here is one interesting tidbit: the wallpapers can be configured to color-match either the device or the color of the iPhone case. iPhone Air Th

Apple Snuck a Clue About Its Smart Home Plans Into the iPhone Air Reveal - and I Caught It

Apple's "awe dropping" Tuesday event has wrapped up, and we're all still taking in the new paper-thin iPhone Air line (not everyone's in awe of it) as well as the iPhone 17 Pro. But something caught my ear in the middle of the iPhone Air announcement. Along with other connectivity support, Apple made sure to add that the iPhone Air would support Thread. In a presentation where every second and word was intentional, it means a lot that the company included it. (Preorders for the iPhone 17 Air ope

Do Microcurrent Devices Actually Work? Dermatologists Share Pros and Cons

If you regularly watch videos of people's morning and evening routines, you've likely seen several microcurrent devices.

But do they actually work? To find out, we asked dermatologists for more information about microcurrent devices' pros and cons and how they compare to professional treatments.

Survey shows Google Home users have high hopes from Gemini

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Google Home devices are in for a significant reform. On October 1, Google will announce Gemini for smart speakers and displays and subsequently replace Google Assistant with it on these devices. And we have huge expectations from this upgrade. Gemini has big shoes to fill. Google Assistant has shouldered the load of the entire breadth of commands intended for smart speakers for nearly a decade. However, the recent decline in Google Home’s ability to understa

Did Anyone Ask for a Super Thin iPhone Air?

The star of Tuesday's "awe dropping" Apple event was undeniably the iPhone Air, a slim, much-rumored version of its new iPhone 17. It's only 5.6mm thick -- thinner than three stacked credit cards -- if you ignore the huge camera bump. But does anyone actually want a super-thin iPhone? Apple has loaded up the iPhone Air with better battery life and faster processing power via the A19 Pro chip. It's also got a 48-megapixel fusion camera and a 12-megapixel 2x telephoto camera. Apple said this is t

A Split-Second Hint in the iPhone Air Launch Shows Apple's Ready for the Smart Home

Apple's "awe dropping" Tuesday event has wrapped up, and we're all still taking in the new paper-thin iPhone Air line (not everyone's in awe of it) as well as the iPhone 17 Pro. But something caught my ear in the middle of the iPhone Air announcement. Along with other connectivity support, Apple made sure to add that the iPhone Air would support Thread.

Switch modder owes Nintendo $2 million after representing himself in court

It has often been said that the lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. That truism apparently extends to Switch modders as well, at least in the case of Ryan Daly. The operator of the now-defunct moddedhardware.com (archived) now owes Nintendo $2 million after a recent settlement filed in a Washington state District Court. The final judgement, which was jointly agreed to by both parties, asserts that Daly knowingly sold devices such as the MIG Switch and MIG Dumper that "are pri

TL;DR The AYANEO Pocket AIR Mini has a new 4.2-inch 4:3 screen, with a price “everyone can afford.” As the name indicates, the design is a smaller version of the AYANEO Pocket AIR.

Rabbit Overhauls Its R1 AI Device With a Major Touch-Focused OS Update

The Rabbit R1, a dedicated AI device that received middling reviews last year, just received a major software update overhauling the entire operating system, Rabbit Inc. founder and CEO Jesse Lyu said Monday in a video posted on X. In the video, Lyu acknowledges the R1's shortcomings, saying his team was overwhelmed by the hype and expectations the device received. Since then the R1 has seen 30 updates, but with rabbitOS2 the device's operating system is getting a complete overhaul. RabbitOS2

OpenWrt: A Linux OS targeting embedded devices

The OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it;

College Football 26 is $20 off in time for the 2025 season

is down to $19.99 at Amazon . It’s just small $5 discount, but this is something that’s worth jumping on if you’re planning international travel any time soon. Its slim design aside, I like that it has four ports (two USB-C, two USB-A), and support for Type A, I, G, and C plugs, which allows it to work in over 200 countries and regions, according to Anker. In terms of USB power, it’s on the slow side — best for when you want to charge gadgets overnight. For instance, one of the USB-C ports can d

This pettable Poké Ball is a Tamagotchi-style toy with over 150 Pokémon inside and I need it now

Japanese toymaker Takara Tomy is releasing a Poké Ball virtual pet toy so you can fulfill your dreams of carrying your favorite Pokémon around with you everywhere. I don't know how this one slid under my radar when it was announced at the end of August (perhaps because all my attention has been on Tamagotchi Paradise ) but now that I've seen it, I must have it. While it appears to be a Japan-only release, the product page shows it will have an English language option in the menu. Pre-orders are

Samsung leak reveals how you’ll be opening and closing its dual-hinge foldable

TL;DR A new animation for Samsung’s multi-fold foldable has leaked. The animation shows how the device will open and close. It also appears to show that users will be able to take selfies with the rear cameras. Samsung debuted the Galaxy S25 FE this week, but that’s not the last smartphone the company is expected to announce this year. The tech giant also has a multi-fold device, popularly but misleadingly called a “tri-fold,” due later this year. Last week, a few 2D animations related to the

This Extremely Slim Phone Is Hitting Apple and Samsung Where It Hurts

You have to travel across the world to find just how Americans are devoid of choice for interesting phones. At IFA 2025, I went hands-on with Tecno’s Slim phone—or at least I tried to hold onto its incredibly thin frame. It’s an apt name for such an irregular phone, one that has me asking whether Samsung and—potentially—Apple need to rethink what people really want from frisbee-light phones. China-based Tecno has a penchant for weird mobile devices. The company recently revealed a Phantom Ultim

Google leaks its new Nest Cams and Nest Doorbell inside the Home app

AssembleDebug / Android Authority TL;DR Images and mentions of the upcoming Nest Cam Indoor, Nest Cam Outdoor, and Nest Doorbell have been spotted in the latest Google Home app update.

Google is preparing to launch some new Nest-branded products. The company sneakily teased a new Gemini-equipped Nest speaker at the Pixel 10‘

The DuRoBo Krono e-reader boasts open Android and a built-in audio player

It is available for Kickstarter pre-sale now for €279.99, with shipping expected in November 2025. Most e-readers stick to the basics: an E-Ink screen, a bookstore tie-in, and enough battery to survive a long vacation. At IFA 2025, DuRoBo debuted a more ambi

The Pretty Screen on Lenovo’s Legion Go 2 Will Almost Make You Forget About Its Price

Why change what works? In the case of Lenovo’s Legion Go 2, the question morphs into “Why change what makes you distinct?” Lenovo’s upcoming sequel to its Legion Go handheld gaming PC is more powerful, has grips made for human hands, and sports a prettier screen. Its blood is flowing with the same DNA as Lenovo’s odd handheld, but now it comes with a price tag designed to make your wallet weep. Here’s the kicker. At IFA 2025, Lenovo declared the Legion Go 2 will start at $1,050 for a version we
