How this one tablet convinced me gaming on Android is worth it

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-12-23 00:18:00

RedMagic Astra ZDNET's key takeaways The RedMagic Astra gaming tablet is available on Amazon starting at $700. The tablet offers unmatched performance for an Android tablet. When the fan is in use on the Astra, the battery does drain a bit faster, and the price is up there for a tablet. $699 at Amazon As far as gaming is concerned, I'm not ashamed to say that I've done it all: consoles, PCs, handhelds, phones, and now, tablets.

Finally, an Android Auto adapter that's reliable, highly functional, and won't break the bank

ZDNET's key takeaways The AAWireless Two typically costs $65 and gives you wireless Android Auto support when plugged in. A new built-in button lets you quickly swap between paired devices. The companion app is almost too robust, but that's a good problem to have. $64.99 at Amazon Since I bought my first car three years ago, I've had the worst luck with wireless Android Auto adapters.

This Android 16 feature solved my biggest problem with phone notifications - how it works

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Have you ever been relaxing when, out of nowhere, your phone blows up with notifications? I've been there too many times, which led me to keep my phone on silent mode 24/7. Then Google teased a new feature in Android 15 called Notification Cooldown that promised to change everything. Notification Cooldown didn't exactly hit the mark in Android 15, but it has made a comeback in the latest iteration (Android 16) to ensure that it works exactly as expect

Drawing for the New Yorker

news.ycombinator.com Liza Donnelly 2025-12-23 09:27:56

Drawing cartoons is an odd profession, I must admit. But someone has to do it. The New Yorker magazine has run cartoons— or drawings, as they like to call them— since its inception 100 years ago. The editors knew how popular satirical art was, and considered it a crucial part of the nascent publication. Not just decoration; far from it. The art was more successful than the writing in that first year! A lot of the process of creating a drawing of this type involves doodling, a lot of observing,

US fertility rate fell to a record low in 2024, mirroring a global trend

In a nutshell: The CDC released data this month that shows the US fertility rate fell to an all-time low in 2024, but the number of babies that were born last year increased YoY. It means that while there were more births overall, a smaller percentage of women of childbearing age are having children. There were 3.6 million babies born in the US in 2024, up 1% compared to the previous year, according to the CDC's data. But the general fertility rate – the number of live births per 1,000 women of

Elon Musk Scoffs as Rival Waymo Plows Through Car While Driving Wrong Way Down Street

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is trying to ward off critics of his approach to autonomous driving. Many years ago, the mercurial billionaire decided to rely exclusively on cameras — rather than LIDAR and radar sensors, like Tesla's competitors — for the carmaker's driver assistance software. Critics have long pointed out the limitations of such an approach, arguing that visual sensors can easily be fooled by anything from severe weather to a wall painted to look like the road beyond it.
