It looks like curiosity about AI may be boosting smartphone sales. According to new data released from the International Data Corporation, smartphone shipment increased 1% year over year in the second quarter of 2025 despite tariff volatility and worldwide economic instability. Much of the increase in sales is attributed to midrange devices like Samsung's Galaxy A36 and other smartphones that have started incorporating AI.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-24 15:17:34

There are countless Android-powered gaming handhelds, but they go beyond the usual slate of Android games by offering console emulation support. The problem is the game ROMs on these devices, which are not entirely legal. Italian YouTuber Once Were Nerd is learning how seriously some rightsholders are taking game piracy after agents from the country's Guardia di Finanza showed up to confiscate his consoles. He now says the investigation could lead to criminal charges and the end of his channel.

Cloudflare says 1.1.1.1 outage not caused by attack or BGP hijack

To quash speculation of a cyberattack or BGP hijack incident causing the recent 1.1.1.1 Resolver service outage, Cloudflare explains in a post mortem that the incident was caused by an internal misconfiguration. The outage occurred on July 14 and impacted most users of the service all over the world, rendering internet services unavailable in many cases. “The root cause was an internal configuration error and not the result of an attack or a BGP hijack,” Cloudflare says in the announcement.

TL;DR Analogue announced its N64 FPGA device is finally shipping in August. Released in pre-order in October 2024, the Analogue 3D faced nearly a year of delays.

Here’s why you can’t rate that system app in the Google Play Store

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-26 07:34:30

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Earlier this year, Google started working to implement minimalistic app listings for system services in the Play Store. These listings do not include a review section nor allow users to rate the apps. Users are now starting to see this new format for system services roll out widely. Should all app listings be created the same? At first glance, it might make sense to expect all app listings in the Play Store to have the same stuff: description, screensho

We Are Having a Very Hard Time Believing the "Shape" of Tesla's New Robotaxi Geofence Is a Coincidence

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-26 08:18:30

Tesla has expanded the area where its Robotaxis can operate in Austin, and it's difficult — nay, impossible — to ignore its resemblance to something unmistakably vulgar. As folks immediately pointed out online, the crudely-shaped geofence is, essentially, a bathroom graffiti-level dick drawing — and given his puerile sense of humor, there's a non-zero chance that Tesla CEO Elon Musk made it that way on purpose. Indeed, after someone posted a video showing the phallic geofence on X, the shitpos

Lenovo’s Luxurious Chromebook Plus 14 Has More Power Than It Knows What to Do With

2025 “Excessive” isn’t a qualifier I would use to demean the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14. It’s merely a statement of fact. It’s a pretty device with surprisingly good audio and more power under the hood than the previous leading contender, the $700 Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus. But is taking the crown as king of ChromeOS enough to justify the $650 asking price? Even with a few exclusive software features, using it is not a distinct experience from using any other $400 or under Chromebook Plus m
