Android phone backups may soon get an option to save all your downloads (APK teardown)

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Android offers convenient built-in backup tools, but these don’t automatically save every file on your phone. Google appears to be working on a new option to explicitly back up downloaded files. At the moment it’s not clear if this would support any and all files types, or be limited to documents. Backing up your data is easily one of the most important thing you can do if you’re looking to avoid a smartphone accident causing you a lot of heartache, but

CNET Editors Tested High-Tech Camping Gear: Here Are Our Top Picks

Why I like it: The Grayl GeoPress is among my best outdoor gear purchases. I feel confident drinking water from lakes, rivers and even the sketchiest of sources with this filtered water bottle -- and that's saying something, because I nearly bit the dust by acquiring three strains of E. Coli from contaminated water at one point (before I knew about Grayl). It efficiently removes waterborne pathogens, including 99.9999% of bacteria, viruses and protozoa, and filters particulates like silt, micro

The future of large files in Git is Git

If Git had a nemesis, it’d be large files. Large files bloat Git’s storage, slow down git clone , and wreak havoc on Git forges. In 2015, GitHub released Git LFS—a Git extension that hacked around problems with large files. But Git LFS added new complications and storage costs. Meanwhile, the Git project has been quietly working on large files. And while LFS ain’t dead yet, the latest Git release shows the path towards a future where LFS is, finally, obsolete. What you can do today: replace

Here are our eight favorite genre roles so far, starting with his current project… Alien: Earth The newly launched FX sci-fi series is mapping out a fresh small

McKinsey Terrified as It Realizes AI Can Do Its Job Perfectly

Illustrious consulting firm McKinsey is staring down the barrel of AI. All those highly-paid suits are at risk as AI agents, AI models designed to autonomously carry out certain tasks, promise to do what they do with instant results — and without six-figure salary demands. "Do I think that this is existential for our profession? Yes, I do," Kate Smaje, a senior partner tapped to lead McKinsey's AI efforts, told the Wall Street Journal. But, she insisted, "I think it's an existential good for u

Wild Video Shows Humanoid Robot Effortlessly Folding Laundry

Some users report their Firefox browser is scoffing CPU power

People are noticing Firefox gobbling extra CPU and electricity, apparently caused by an "inference engine" built into recent versions of Firefox. Don't say El Reg didn't try to warn you. Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference. All we have so far is a smoking gun, but it does look like Mozilla's

I’d pay for a decoy PIN and profile on my Android phone, and I’m not alone

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority A few days ago, my colleague Calvin shared an interesting fact about GrapheneOS: The custom ROM allows him to set a duress PIN that completely erases the phone when he enters it, including encryption keys and the eSIM partition. It’s a very drastic privacy measure that lets anyone protect their data if they’re being forced to hand over or unlock their phone when they don’t want to do it. I love that the feature exists for those who think they might need it, e
