Scott Brown / Android Authority If you have ever missed an important call because your Pixel was stuck on vibrate or if you’ve ever been publicly embarrassed by your blaring phone, you’re not alone. A Redditor recently shared how they solved this exact problem using a built-in Pixel feature most of us tend to overlook. Called Rules, the feature has been around for a while, but many Pixel owners, including yours truly, never touch it. Rules let you automate changes to your phone’s audio stat

'WhiteCobra' floods VSCode market with crypto-stealing extensions

New VoidProxy phishing service targets Microsoft 365, Google accounts

A newly discovered phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform, named VoidProxy, targets Microsoft 365 and Google accounts, including those protected by third-party single sign-on (SSO) providers such as Okta. The platform uses adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) tactics to steal credentials, multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes, and session cookies in real time. VoidProxy was discovered by Okta Threat Intelligence researchers, who describe it as scalable, evasive, and sophisticated. The attack begi

Eye drops could replace glasses or surgery for longsightedness, study says

Doctors have developed special eye drops for people with longsightedness that could replace the need for reading glasses or surgery. Hundreds of millions of people worldwide have presbyopia, which is when the eyes find it difficult to focus on objects and text up close. Glasses or surgery can usually resolve the problem but many find wearing spectacles inconvenient and having an operation is not an option for everyone. Now experts say the solution could be as simple as using eye drops twice a

Accelerated Game of Life with CUDA / Triton

Let’s look at implementing Conway’s Game of Life using a graphics card. I want to experiment with different libraries and techniques, to see how to get the best performance. I’m going to start simple, and get increasingly complex as we dive in. The Game Of Life is a simple cellular automata, so should be really amenable to GPU acceleration. The rules are simple: Each cell in the 2d grid is either alive or dead. At each step, count the alive neighbours of the cell (including diagonals). If the c

Eric Kripke Assures ‘The Boys’ is Still Getting a Mexico Spinoff

Prime Video’s been feeding superhero audiences with The Boys and its Gen V spinoff, but the franchise has other shows in the works. Up on the docket is one set in Mexico that’s gone quiet since the initial reveal back in 2023. But according to Boys showrunner Eric Kripke, that series remains alive and kicking.

Galaxy Buds 3 FE Review: Samsung’s ‘Fan Edition” Wireless Earbuds Are Just Enough

If you’re a Samsung fan and you see “FE” branding, you probably think a few things. The first thing that comes to mind is probably, “I’m saving some money.” For those not fluent in Samsung lingo, FE, which is actually short for “Fan Edition,” is the equivalent of SE in Apple-speak, meaning it’s a more budget-friendly alternative to the flagship-level gadgets. But it’s not just savings you want when you’re seeking something FE-branded—you want quality, too. Maybe you’re not expecting every bell a

Liam Hemsworth is Geralt in the first Witcher season 4 trailer

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. It’s been a few years since Netflix confirmed that Liam Hemsworth would be taking over as Geralt of Rivia in the live-action Witcher series. And while we caught a brief glimpse of him in action last year, the first proper clip from season 4 of the show reveals just how Hemsworth will be inhabiting the role — including his take on Geralt’s signature growling voice. In addition to giving us a better look at G

RFC9460: SVCB and HTTPS DNS Records

In AliasMode, the SVCB record aliases a service to a TargetName. SVCB RRsets SHOULD only have a single RR in AliasMode. If multiple AliasMode RRs are present, clients or recursive resolvers SHOULD pick one at random.¶ The primary purpose of AliasMode is to allow aliasing at the zone apex, where CNAME is not allowed (see, for example, [RFC1912], Section 2.4). In AliasMode, the TargetName will be the name of a domain that resolves to SVCB, AAAA, and/or A records. (See Section 6 for aliasing of SV

Lexy: A parser combinator library for C++17

Why should I use lexy over XYZ? lexy is closest to other PEG parsers. However, they usually do more implicit backtracking, which can hurt performance and you need to be very careful with rules that have side-effects. This is not the case for lexy, where backtracking is controlled using branch conditions. lexy also gives you a lot of control over error reporting, supports error recovery, special support for operator precedence parsing, and other advanced features. Boost.Spirit The main differenc

Two Slice A font that's only 2px tall, and somewhat readable! Uppercase and lowercase have some different variants, in case you find one more readable than the other. Numbers (sort of) and some punctuation marks are included. You can probably read this, even if you wish you couldn't. It tends to be easier to read at smaller sizes.

Pass: Unix Password Manager

Introducing pass Password management should be simple and follow Unix philosophy. With pass , each password lives inside of a gpg encrypted file whose filename is the title of the website or resource that requires the password. These encrypted files may be organized into meaningful folder hierarchies, copied from computer to computer, and, in general, manipulated using standard command line file management utilities. pass makes managing these individual password files extremely easy.

Magical systems thinking

The systems that enable modern life share a common origin. The water supply, the internet, the international supply chains bringing us cheap goods: each began life as a simple, working system. The first electric grid was no more than a handful of electric lamps hooked up to a water wheel in Godalming, England, in 1881. It then took successive decades of tinkering and iteration by thousands of very smart people to scale these systems to the advanced state we enjoy today. At no point did a single

Canelo vs. Crawford Fight: What Time to Watch the Action Tonight on Netflix

Saul "Canelo" Álvarez and Terence Crawford step into the ring tonight in a pro boxing matchup that will see Álvarez defending his title as super middleweight champion. As the crowd descends upon Las Vegas to watch the pair square up, the question lingers in the air of whether Crawford will beef up his weight -- and by how much -- to meet his opponent's. While Álvarez is a seasoned super middleweight contender (and current undisputed champion), Crawford has never fought in this weight class and

This real-life Google hack on my Pixel is why I could never switch to an iPhone

Paul Jones / Android Authority With the iPhone 17 finally getting some long overdue upgrades like a larger and high-refresh rate display, I’ve found myself toying with the idea of switching ecosystems over the past couple of days. It also doesn’t help that Google stumbled out of the gate with the recent Pixel 10 launch. Thanks to the latter’s unexpectedly small performance and battery life gains, I see no compelling reason to upgrade from my Pixel 8. But after mulling the decision over, I came
