I changed 12 settings on my Android phone to significantly improve the battery life

zdnet.com Max Buondonno 2025-09-12 21:32:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET I've spent large portions of my life looking for ways to extend the battery life on my Android phones. Admittedly, that sounds rather dramatic, but growing up with only budget models meant I was constantly tweaking device settings to squeeze every bit of juice out of their batteries. Thanks to this micromanaging, I successfully pushed the batteries on all my past smartphones to their absolute limit. I don't want to hoard this knowledge to myself, so I've decided to share it wit

iPhone 16E Specs vs. Google Pixel 8A: How Apple and Google's Lower-Cost Phones Match Up

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-12 21:00:07

Google's A-series Pixel handsets are typically budget-friendly, but currently the cheapest Google goes is $499 for the Pixel 9A. If you do want all of Google's flagship features and are comfortable with getting a used or refurbished device, you could check out last year's Pixel 8A which is going for under $300 in the secondary market. Strangely, Google is currently selling the Pixel 8A for the same price as the Pixel 9A, so it doesn't make sense to buy a new version of the Pixel 8A. A sub-$300

Joe Maring / Android Authority Given the rumored earlier launch date of August this year, the Pixel 10 series is right around the corner. As is customary with every Google product, the leaks are really starting to ramp up as we get closer to the release. Up to now, all the tidbits of info we’ve seen are pointing to an iterative update with no meaningful changes to the design, except perhaps a slightly bigger camera bar on the back.

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority It’s been just under six years since the first Galaxy Fold launched, and in the time since then, foldable phones have become among the most interesting in the Android world. I’ve personally tested and reviewed many of them, including models from Samsung, Google, OnePlus, and others.

Compiling LLMs into a MegaKernel: A path to low-latency inference

news.ycombinator.com Zhihao Jia 2025-09-13 20:20:54

One of the most effective ways to reduce latency in LLM inference is to fuse all computation and communication into a single megakernel — also known as a persistent kernel. In this design, the system launches just one GPU kernel to execute the entire model — from layer-by-layer computation to inter-GPU communication — without interruption. This approach offers several key performance advantages: Eliminates kernel launch overhead, even in multi-GPU settings, by avoiding repeated kernel invocatio
