Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is preparing a range of “Pixelsnap” accessories for the Pixel 10 that support wireless charging. Despite Qi2 support, the phone may require the use of a case to add the magnets needed for alignment. In addition to Google’s own accessories, look for a range of similar Made by Google solutions from third parties. What is so hard about giving Android users what they want?

Rust compiler performance

news.ycombinator.com Kobzol'S Blog 2025-09-16 16:24:44

Perhaps the most often repeated complaint about Rust is its slow feedback loop and long compilation times.

Recently, in addition to the usual compile times complaints, I also started noticing the following sentiments being expressed by frustrated Rust developers: “Why doesn’t the Rust Project care more about this pressing and

The elephant in the room, if you haven’t noticed, is batteries. Not in the “oh, it doesn’t last a full day” sense — we’re talking swelling, melting, and potentially exploding.

Google's latest budget phone, the $499 Pixel 9A, arrived fresh off the heels of Apple's "affordable" offering, the $599 iPhone 16E. Very convenient timing.

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has made it harder to build custom Android ROMs for Pixel phones by omitting their device trees and driver binaries from the latest AOSP release.
