futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-27 20:15:08

In February, as the disastrous effects of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency's gutting of federal agencies started to emerge, the agency's figurehead Elon Musk took to the stage of the Conservative Political Action Conference and waved a chainsaw in the air.

Android 16’s Live Updates won’t work with your favorite music player, and that’s a bummer

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-29 19:00:04

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 introduces Live Updates, a new feature that elevates ongoing notifications to the status bar, but it excludes media playback notifications. This is because media apps use a dedicated “Media style” template, which is not one of the specific styles that can be promoted to a Live Update. Switching styles would cause media apps to lose key playback controls and features, a trade-off developers are unlikely to make for this new functionality. Li
