Travel Mugs, Nonstick Pans and More Items That Don't Belong in the Dishwasher

Whether you're learning the ropes of a brand-new dishwasher or you've been hands-free dishwashing for years, it's tempting to load it up and let it rip. It's summer -- you've got better things to do than babysit a sink full of dirty silverware. But before you start stacking every spatula and chef's knife onto the racks, take a beat. Your dishwasher's high heat and aggressive cycles can do more harm than good to certain kitchen tools. Warping, rusting, cracking and dulling are all fair game -- e

How Netflix’s ‘Leviathan’ United Japanese Animation and Western Imagination

Leviathan, the latest collaboration between Beastars‘ Studio Orange and Star Wars: Visions producer Qubic Pictures, marks Netflix’s entry—alongside Crunchyroll—into the realm of Western novel-to-anime adaptations, echoing a path carved by the Answer Studio’s Anne Shirley. Based on Scott Westerfeld and Keith Thompson’s 2009 steampunk alternate history of World War I (featuring mechs and living animal airships), the anime aims to go beyond a copy-paste replication of its source material. With the

Don’t look now, but YouTube’s video player has a new design

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube appears to be rolling out or testing a new UI design for its player on the web. The new design places the video controls into bubbles. This UI change was first spotted back in April. Every now and then, YouTube tries to update its look to mixed results. You may remember the backlash the company got last year when it tried to relocate the video title, description, and comments section to the right side panel. Well, the video platform is at it again

You May See Less AI Slop After YouTube Enacts New Video Policies

YouTube plans to make a change to its monetization policy on July 15 that appears to target "inauthentic" content. The change may be aimed at helping slow down the flood of AI-generated content on the platform to make it easier for viewers to find higher-quality videos. The company says in a short support post, "On July 15, 2025, YouTube is updating our guidelines to better identify mass-produced and repetitious content." In a follow-up video message, video creator and YouTube editorial and cr

Cleaner feeds ahead? YouTube is cracking down on AI slop

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube is preparing to update its creator monetization policies. The change is aimed at curbing revenue generation from “inauthentic” content. This update could result in less content that viewers consider to be spam. With the proliferation of AI tools, a growing number of YouTube channels are pumping out low-quality content, often referred to as AI slop. While it’s been an issue for a while, it appears YouTube is about to make a change that could help k

Material 3 Expressive brings some of the most noticeable changes to the Android platform in recent times. While it’s not a ground-up reimaginati

Memory-Level Parallelism: Apple M2 vs. Apple M4

The Apple M2, introduced in 2022, and the Apple M4, launched in 2024, are both ARM-based system-on-chip (SoC) designs featuring unified memory architecture. That is, they use the same memory for both graphics (GPU) and main computations (CPU). The M2 processor relies on LPDDR5 memory whereas the M4 relies on LPDDR5X which should provide slightly more bandwidth. The exact bandwidth you get from an Apple system depends on your configuration. But I am interested in single-core random access perfor

The HBO Max Name Change Is Here. Here's What to Know

Summer is usually a time for blockbusters, but Warner Bros. Discovery is giving us more than Superman this year. Max brought back its former name, HBO Max, on Wednesday, according to a press release. The company first announced the change to the streaming service during its Upfront presentation in May, and judging by this meme it shared, the media giant has a sense of humor about it. Warner Bros.

YouTube Can’t Put Pandora’s AI Slop Back in the Box

YouTube is inundated with AI-generated slop, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. Instead of cutting down on the total number of slop channels, the platform is planning to update its policies to cut out some of the worst offenders making money off “spam.” At the same time, it’s still full steam ahead adding tools to make sure your feeds are full of mass-produced brainrot. In an update to its support page posted last week, YouTube said it will modify guidelines for its Partner Program, w

Tim Cook has a new deputy but Apple’s next CEO is probably still someone else

Jeff Williams, often considered Tim Cook’s successor, is leaving Apple. Sabih Khan, a 30-year veteran of the company, is Apple’s next chief operating officer. Does Khan taking Cook’s old job make him CEO-designate? Jeff Williams retiring certainly clears the path for Khan to climb up the succession planning ladder. However, I would wager that Apple’s CEO succession plan isn’t changing. Jeff Williams retires and Sabih Khan steps up Jeff Williams, who has been called Tim Cook’s Tim Cook, has alw

Apple COO Jeff Williams is retiring this year

He also leads the teams for the Apple Watch and the company's Health initiatives, but no details have been shared yet about who will head up those section

Liquid Glass in iOS 26 beta 3 less dramatic as Apple optimizes redesign for usability

Google’s At a Glance weather icons are getting a controversial minimalist makeover

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 QPR1 beta users are noticing a change to the weather at a glance icon. The icon now appears flat and colorless. This change is happening in QPR1 beta only, not stable Android 16. If you’re an Android 16 QPR1 beta user and noticed that At a Glance looks a little different lately, you’re not alone.

Apple steps in to save decade-long Cupertino transit project

Recently, Apple spent more than half a billion dollars to acquire two office campuses it had already been leasing. Now, it shelled out a few million more to avoid a potential traffic disaster in its own backyard.

But Apple has stepped in with a $4 million contribution

On latency, measurement, and optimization in algorithmic trading systems

"The speed of light sucks." - John Carmack ‍ Software engineers within the world of low-latency automated trading (colloquially known as "high-frequency trading" or HFT) obsess over speed.

Major Satellite Suddenly Disappears

A satellite designed to monitor human-made methane emissions has gone missing in space. Dubbed MethaneSAT, the $88 million spacecraft was launched into orbit aboard a SpaceX rocket in March 2024 and was expected to collect data on the potent greenhouse gas for at least five years. But for the past two weeks, the satellite's operators, the nonprofit Environmental Defense Fund, have been unable to establish contact. Now, in a final blow, mission control says that MethaneSAT has lost power, crus
