Poll: Were you affected by Verizon’s service outage over the weekend?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-06 09:42:37

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Verizon had a very eventful August, thanks mainly to the unpopular decision to cut loyalty discounts. The company had to resort to damage control by offering new discounts instead of the old ones, but some customers felt tricked into accepting lower discounts. If you were willing to look past all of this, the carrier just bounced back after a rough weekend where it suffered a service outage. Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority?

I tried gaming on the Pixel 10’s new GPU and… it’s fine

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-05 17:00:52

While there’s plenty to unpack with the Pixel 10 series and its new Tensor G5 processor, one of the biggest hardware changes this year is the adoption of a brand new GPU architecture. Google has switched from its long-running use of ARM’s Mali to Imagination Technologies’ PowerVR series. Specifically, the PowerVR DXT-48-1536, but without the ray-tracing capabilities that the series can support. Early scepticism suggested that the move might not be much of an upgrade and potentially even a down

A lot of ink is spent on the "monoliths vs. microservices" debate, but the real issue behind this debate is about whether distributed system architecture is worth the developer time and cost overheads. By thinking about the real operational considerations of our systems, we can get some insight into whether we actually need distributed systems for most things. We have all gotten so familiar with virtualization and abstractions between our software and the servers that run it. These days, "serve

Can cheaper lasers handle short distances?

Optical technology is well established for long-haul communications, but the distances it serves are shrinking — especially in the data center. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) already drive short fiber links. But efforts are underway to further scale them down to provide more connections through waveguides than fiber can provide. “We have seen the transition from long haul to metro-to-local area networks and then into the data center,” said Suresh Jayaraman, senior director fo
