6 Android launchers that are better than your default home screen - and why

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Android launchers let you replace your default home screen. Six top launchers offer unique features, styles, and pricing. A new launcher can make your phone feel fresh and faster. One of the main reasons I started using Android (version 1.5 with an HTC Hero phone) was because it ran a version of the Linux kernel. I knew that fact would lead to a thing I value: flexibility.

Do I not like Ruby anymore? (2024)

Do I not like Ruby anymore? 2024/05/28 I recently started working at a Python shop. The reasons behind this choice of employment are very much unrelated to the technology stack. Python is not my favorite programming language. In fact, allow me to drop the euphemism and express my pure, unadulterated thoughts about it: I never liked Python, I see it as a huge red flag and I think the world would be a better place if we all decided to finally move on from it.

Notice a weird beauty filter on Shorts? YouTube says it’s on purpose

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube has been secretly upscaling Shorts by certain creators without their consent. Creators have not been offered any notification or given any option to disable upscaling. The team has clarified that it is using “traditional machine learning” to denoise and unblur videos.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 teardown shows how much progress Samsung has made toward repairability

Bitcoin Flash Crash Roils Crypto Market

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-05 00:50:49

Crypto prices dipped Monday following a so-called flash crash of Bitcoin on Sunday. And while Ethereum dipped as well, the second most popular cryptocurrency is still up significantly on the month. Bitcoin’s weekend crash is being blamed on a single whale who sold 24,000 Bitcoin, according to crypto watchers on X. Bitcoin’s most recent peak hit $117,370 on Friday, not too far from the all-time high of $124,500. But Bitcoin is currently sitting at $112,660, well below recent highs. “Bitcoin fla

Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the quiet part out loud, telling reporters that he believes we're in a "phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI." Simmering concerns about a growing AI bubble — a word repeatedly invoked by Altman himself during the appearance — have gripped the industry, with spooked investors triggering a major tech sell-off in the wake of the CEO's remarks.

Apple is looking for its next cash cow. But Tim Cook won’t need to look far because, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is working on reinventing the iPhone with not one, not two, but three models. The first of the three iPhones will come next month at Apple’s annual fall launch event. The long-rumored “iPhone 17 Air” will reportedly be Apple’s thinnest phone ever—even skinnier than the iPhone 6, which sparked “bendgate” back in 2014. The 17 Air is expected to replace the iPhone

One of the more salient side effects of the incredible shrinking tech sector is the loss of so many high-paying jobs, many of which young jobseekers were encouraged to apply for by those who implored them to "learn to code." As such, we generally expect inflated salaries when we learn what people who work at Big Tech firms make — between $120,000 and $160,000 for entry-level positions, say, and up to a half a million dollars for middle management.
