bits 0x02: switching to orion as a browser July 24, 2025 The most interesting thing I wanna share is my browser switch. I’ve always been using Arc. As that is done, I made the switch to Zen. Pretty buggy but ok. The biggest problem I had was the power draw. As I’m preparing a more nomadic lifestyle, I really need to care for my battery. The power draw is really just way too high. By accident, I stumbled upon Orion. I’ve had it in the back of my head but for whatever reason never even looked at

The last few years have seen anime movies and premiere episodes take to the big screen and make a ton of money, so Crunchyroll is getting on that with its new Anime Nights program. During San Diego Comic-Con, the streamer/distributor revealed its plan to put an anime on the silver screen for the third Monday of every month to “honor the past, elevate the present, and celebrate the future of anime.” The titles will range from fan favorites and anniversaries to “curated” TV episodes, and even pre

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority The question “Should I buy a new phone?” holds more weight than we imagine. For most of us, phones are our trusted associates, and parting with them isn’t easy. For others, the upgrade to a new phone may be too insignificant to warrant the expense. Regardless of the emotional value your phone holds, getting a new one every few years can be a cathartic experience.

6 features from other skins I want on One UI

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-30 14:00:59

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority One UI has been with us for six years now, and it’s easily the best Android skin Samsung has made. One UI is smoother, more reliable, and easier to use than Samsung Experience or TouchWiz, the skins that preceded it. Aside from a blip with One UI 7, it’s been updated quicker than ever, often beating other Android skins. The features One UI delivers have made it my favorite flavor of Android since I first used it on my Galaxy S10 Plus, but there are still thin

The Greek Small-Town Doctor Who Knows AI’s Secrets

On vacation in Greece since July 17, I figured it was a good opportunity to see how artificial intelligence was perceived in this small European Union country, which sits at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. My curiosity was amplified by the fact that I was far from the famous islands like Santorini or Mykonos, which are typically overrun by tourists.

Non-Hormonal Male Birth Control Pill Passes Key Test

For many couples, the numerous options for birth control still come with plenty of hassles. But scientists are working on an alternative approach that might be more appealing for some: a non-hormonal male birth control pill with possibly very few side effects. The drug is codenamed YCT-529, and it’s being developed by the company YourChoice Therapeutics, in conjunction with researchers from the University of Minnesota and others.

DeX gives us the ability to turn our Samsung phones and tablets into ultra-portable laptop replacements, provided all you need is Android apps and a browser. While DeX has gained plenty of features since its introduction, it’s still fundamentally the same as it was in 2017. That’s changing with One UI 8, though, as Samsung has rebuilt DeX upon Android

The header works as a mechanism for conveying the original source IP addresses of clients, and not just across one hop, but through chains of multiple intermediaries. This list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses is helpful to understand where requests have really come from in scenarios where they traverse several servers, proxies, or load balancers.

Tesla Readies a Taxi Service in San Francisco—but Not With Robotaxis

Tesla has publicly staked its future on its robotaxis. Now the company is planning to launch a public car service in the San Francisco Bay Area. Tesla is calling it a “robotaxi” service, but legally, this one will have to use cars with human drivers. The plan appears to put the electric carmaker in murky legal waters in a US state with the country's most tightly regulated autonomous vehicle industry—and where Tesla is already being sued for misleading language around its driver assistance tech.
