androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-19 01:41:56

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google is putting together its framework for Android developer verification, connecting dev names to even sideloaded apps. Recent additions to the Android SDK offer a little insight into how the system may ultimately operate. One variable suggests that users may not be able to sideload even verified apps without an active network connection. Android’s approach to software openness is changing in some fundamental ways right now, and the shift has not been

Flick Shot Rogues is the rare turn-based game that my brain is gelling with

Try as I might, turn-based strategy games don't usually do it for me. That's one reason I haven't yet dipped into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, many people's favorite of the year so far. I'd almost always rather be playing a more action-based game. But after trying the demo for Flick Shot Rogues on a whim during the most recent Steam Next Fest, the game hasn't been far from my thoughts.

Rereading

How arrogant would you have to be to think you’ve gained everything from a book on your first reading? A wildly intelligent friend once said this to me and it struck home. A seemingly obvious point I’d ignored for years changed my approach to reading in a way that has considerably improved my life. If you already reread books regularly, feel free to skip this. If you’re like the old me who thought “Why would I reread a book when there are so many amazing books I haven’t yet read” then read on.

NASA Mission to Map Sun’s Protective Bubble Could Help Better Predict Dangerous Space Weather

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-19 01:38:43

The Sun is an energetic star, constantly radiating energy and pumping streams of charged particles out into space. And while this solar wind can be dangerous in itself, without it, Earth and all the other members of our planetary system would be at constant risk of threats from outer space. Our host star creates a protective bubble called the heliosphere that extends far beyond the orbit of Neptune, shielding the planets from the interstellar medium.
