Samsung’s upcoming earthquake warning system goes beyond what Google offers

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is preparing a new earthquake warning system that’s more refined than Google’s broader system for Android. The feature will allow Galaxy users to set a custom magnitude threshold for alerts. Users can also preview earthquake warnings and set different thresholds for day and night. Samsung is upgrading earthquake alerts on Galaxy phones with more features than what Google’s built-in Android system currently offers. Google’s version is a straightfor

I changed 6 settings on my Roku TV to instantly improve the performance

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Few things ruin the joy of watching a good show more than suddenly seeing that rotating asterisk symbol or swirly icon that tells you your TV is buffering. Or maybe it's stuttering, or altogether freezing. If this is happening on your Roku TV, don't give up on it just yet. Also: How to disable ACR on your TV (and why doing so makes such a big difference) Like phones and computers, Rokus have caches that accumulate temporary data, which inevitably slows them down over time.

Pipelined State Machine Corruption

There are a number of network protocols that we might refer to as text protocols, where we send a line of text to the server and it sends back a response. Perhaps I should call them CRLF protocols, to distinguish from protocols where we’re blasting JSON back and forth. To speed things up, it can be tempting to have the client send multiple requests without waiting for individual responses. This is called pipelining. Support varies by protocol. NNTP requires that servers support it. HTTP 1.1 def

Here’s My Experience With 5 Cheap Gadgets I Bought From AliExpress

If you're shopping online, you may have noticed products from Temu and AliExpress often come up in your shopping search. These items are so cheap that you may wonder if it's really a steal or if you should stay away. I was in that boat as well. And I love a good YouTube video where the host tests cheap tech from low-cost retailers. So, curious as I am, I decided to try my hand at testing cheap home products from the popular discount marketplace, AliExpress. Now, when shopping for a new piece of

Best Internet Providers in Orlando, Florida

What is the best internet provider in Orlando? Orlando may be home to the most magical place on Earth and a new Epic Universe of attractions, but for those of us who call it home, internet options can be a bit less cheery. CNET recommends Spectrum for being the best internet in Orlando. More so for areas without fiber access, due to the cable giant's broad coverage and relatively affordable internet. Plans in certain parts of Orlando start as low as $25 per month, and Spectrum brings the option

Apple’s push in India continues: Foxconn to start making iPhone casings in the country

Foxconn is taking another step in cementing its rolerole in Apple’s Indian manufacturing strategy. After years of focusing mainly on iPhone assembly, the Taiwanese contract manufacturing giant is now preparing to build iPhone casings locally for the first time. Here’s why that matters. According to a new report from The Economic Times, Foxconn is setting up a new unit at the ESR Industrial Park in Oragadam, Tamil Nadu, focused specifically on making metal casings for iPhones. Casings, often re

Scammers hijack real support pages to show fake phone numbers

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years.TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust Bottom line: A recent warning from Malwarebytes explains that users searching for tech support phone numbers can encounter fake contact information, even when visiting the official websites of major brands. Users should carefully examine text appearing in support site search bars and approach sponsored Google search results with caution, if at all. Many people likely understand that they should ver

Tech giants unleash AI on weather forecasts: are they any good?

A wave of machine-learning weather models have been unleashed by some of the very biggest businesses on the planet. These challenge the orthodoxy of traditional physics-based computer forecasts that have been incrementally developed and improved over many decades. But are the machine learning models any good? The weather is a national obsession for us Brits, and it is no wonder given the huge changes that are seen and felt from one day to the next.

Microsoft strengthens Windows 365 Cloud PCs with virtualization-based protection

What just happened? Cloud-based Windows installs are generally more secure than local setups, especially against physical and network attacks targeting endpoint devices. Now, Microsoft is raising the bar further by enhancing security features specifically for Windows 365 Cloud PCs. Microsoft recently announced two security-focused changes to the Windows 365 Cloud PC platform. The subscription-based service will soon disable all user-level file redirections and enable several virtualization-base

Spotify may finally let you import music without jumping through hoops (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify is working on a feature to import your music. Currently, the service offers no way to import music from other services. We also discovered a URL for the feature. Hopping from one music service to another can be a pain for multiple reasons. However, losing the playlists you spent all of that time creating may be the biggest pain of all. If you want to switch to Spotify, this will be the position you’ll find yourself in since it doesn’t offer an im

Tesla's robotaxi debut will reportedly be limited to only 10 cars in very specific areas

The long-promised launch of Tesla's robotaxi service in Austin is scheduled for June 22, and it sounds like the company's initial offering will be modest at best. The Financial Times writes that Tesla will only have around 10 cars available for rides and that the company plans to make them "avoid the city’s most challenging intersections." If issues arise, remote operators will also reportedly be able to take control of the cars to make sure they reach their final destination. Tesla CEO Elon Mu

Estrogen: A Trip Report

The following blog post discusses my personal experience of the phenomenology of feminising hormone therapy. It will also touch upon my own experience of gender dysphoria. I wish to be clear that I do not believe that someone should have to demonstrate that they experience gender dysphoria – however one might even define that – as a prerequisite for taking hormones. At smoothbrains.net, we hold as self-evident the right to put whatever one likes inside one’s body; and this of course includes hor

Testing a Robust Netcode with Godot

Testing a Robust Netcode with Godot The biggest challenge I faced in developing Little Brats! was the online multiplayer part: synchronizing computers with sometimes consequent latency while maintaining the “fast-paced action game” aspect was far from simple. I'll tell you all about it! Lag compensation, prediction/reconciliation, etc. I'm not going to do a detailed tutorial on these points, as there are tons of them already, but to give you an idea of the principle: when a client computer pe

‘The Phantom of the Paradise’ Might Find New Life as a Stage Play

The Phantom of the Paradise, the vastly underrated horror-tinged rock opera from the minds of Brian De Palma (Carrie) and Paul Williams (The Muppet Movie), might be getting a new musical adaptation. Movie Maker reports that Williams and Sam Pressman, whose father Ed Pressman produced the 1974 cult film, are currently developing it as a stage production. “I’m excited about having a chance to deliver what fans have been suggesting for years… POTP as a stage musical,” Williams said in a statement

Public/protected/private is an unnecessary feature

public/protected/private is an unnecessary feature Regular code using this interface works great: Users can write generic code that works for any Vehicle, and use a Car with that code. The implementer of Car can restrict users to only ever use Car instances through the Vehicle interface, by only allowing construction of Car instances through, for example, a function make_car with return type Vehicle. But the interface doesn't work with inheritance: Users cannot write a generic class that can i

Best Internet Providers in Brooklyn, New York

What is the best internet provider in Brooklyn? CNET's experts recommend Verizon Fios as the best internet service provider in Brooklyn, New York. The fiber provider offers outstanding customer care and fast, nearly symmetrical speeds. If Verizon Fios isn't available at your address, Optimum and Spectrum are excellent alternatives. If you're looking for the most affordable broadband, Astound Broadband, Spectrum and Starry offer plans starting at $30 per month. Astound offers the best value and

Security may not be exciting, but AWS proves it's essential

Editor's take: If I'm being totally honest, it's difficult to get excited about improved security capabilities in the tech world. I know they're incredibly important and absolutely essential to keep everything functional in today's cyberthreat-filled world. But it's kind of like thinking about insurance – not much fun. On top of that, by necessity, security updates need to be released at a rate that's as fast (or even faster) than the latest technological innovations in order to keep bad actors

Once You Notice ChatGPT's Weird Way of Talking, You Start to See It Everywhere

It's not written by humans, it's written by AI. It's not useful, it's slop. It's not hard to find, it's everywhere you look. As AI-generated text is becoming increasingly ubiquitous on the internet, some distinctive linguistic patterns are starting to emerge — maybe more so than anything else, that pattern of negating statements typified by "it's not X, it's Y." Once you notice it, you start to see it everywhere. One teacher on Reddit even noticed that certain AI phrase structures are making t

Scientists Line Up Satellites to Create "Artificial Total Solar Eclipse"

Two satellites just carefully lined up to form a perfect "artificial total solar eclipse" in orbit. Earlier this year, the two probes, which are part of the European Space Agency's Proba-3 mission, positioned themselves in a perfect line 492 feet apart to have one of them perfectly obfuscate the Sun's rays. Impressively, they were able to maintain their position with an accuracy down to the millimeter. The outermost satellite then snapped fascinating pictures of the Sun's corona, the outermos

Apple explores new technique to make AI better match users’ writing styles

As more users start relying on AI for writing tasks like email drafts and document summaries, one common frustration remains: the output often sounds way too generic. Even when models like ChatGPT or Gemini are given detailed prompts, they rarely nail a user’s individual tone or voice without plenty of manual tweaking. Apple is now proposing a solution. In a new research paper (Aligning LLMs by Predicting Preferences from User Writing Samples) to be presented at the International Conference on

I Was Shocked to Learn These 10 Foods Aren't Vegetarian

Think It's vegan? Think again. Depending on how strictly you follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, some seemingly plant-based foods might not make the cut. Surprising ingredients, including animal byproducts, can sneak into everyday staples like sugar, wine, and even corn tortillas. You might be a pro at reading labels, but it's easy to assume certain items are animal-free when they're not. Here are 10 common foods that aren't always as vegetarian- or vegan-friendly as they seem. Cheese Rea

Something Comically Bad Just Happened to the Inventor of Ozempic

Image by Kristian Tuxen Ladegaard Berg/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images / Futurism Rx/Medicines Novo Nordisk, the Danish company behind Ozempic and Wegovy, made one very dumb decision a few years ago that's now poised to massively eat into its profits — a wild twist in the pharma company's saga, and an all-time cautionary tale for its peers. When watching an interview with the head of generic drugmaker Sandoz, Science magazine columnist Derek Lowe learned something incredible: that Nov
