Android 16 lets the Linux Terminal use your phone’s entire storage

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-08 18:24:06

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR The Terminal app on Pixel phones enables users to run Linux apps via a Debian virtual machine. The Android 16 Beta 4, and subsequently the stable Android 16 release, removed the previous 16GB storage cap for the Linux VM. In Android 16 QPR1, manual storage resizing has been replaced with dynamic storage ballooning, allowing the VM to adjust its storage needs automatically.

Google is building a Linux terminal app for native Android development - here's why that's huge

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-12-12 09:19:45

Jack Wallen/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Google is developing another Linux terminal app. The app runs a full Debian environment. Developers will be able to build Android apps on device. For some time, Android has had access to a terminal app that ran a full-blown, text-only Linux environment. This app is enabled via Android's developer options feature and makes it possible for users to run Linux commands (even SSH). From Google's perspective, that wasn't enough.

15 TikTok Videos About ‘Clankers’, a New Slur for Robots

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-12-12 14:35:26

Terms like “social media,” “podcast,” and “internet” emerged years ago as ways to talk about the latest advancements in the world of technology. And over the past month, we’ve seen some new terms popping up in the world of tech, from clanker to slopper, even if they seem to be mostly tongue-in-cheek at this point. What’s a clanker? It’s a derogatory word for a robot, a term coined in 1920 for a Czech play about dangerous mechanical men. And given the fact that humanoid robots are still pretty r

The ‘Star Wars’ Slur That Has Been Mainstreamed by Anti-AI Discourse

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-12-13 18:30:52

“Clanker.” You’ve probably heard the term online a lot lately, as growing wariness of the acceptance of generative AI has led to an almost science-fictional world of anti-robot sentiment. It’s become an increasingly common derogatory term, growing beyond the constraints of referring to chatbots and image generators to refer to any kind of non-human robotic intelligence. It’s perhaps fitting then, as it penetrates increasingly mainstream social circles, that “Clanker” itself is rooted in science

El Salvador’s Crypto President Could Stay in Power for Decades After Changes to Constitution

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-12-16 18:50:12

El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly approved changes to the country’s constitution on Thursday that will extend presidential terms from five years to six and abolish term limits. That means President Nayib Bukele, a far-right crypto enthusiast who’s allied with President Donald Trump, could potentially stay in power for the rest of his natural life. First elected in 2019 on a promise to crack down on gangs, Bukele was supposed to be prohibited from running for re-election in 2024. But the countr

I can’t go any further without talking about the term we use to describe these children. Journalists, myself included, have called them “three-parent babies” because they are created using DNA from three people. Briefly, the approach typically involves using the DNA from the nuclei of the intended parents’ egg and sperm cells. That’s where most of the DNA in a cell is found. But it also makes use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)—the DNA found in the energy-producing organelles of a cell—from a thir
