This powerful Google Photos tool is finally arriving for older Pixels

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-05 15:17:32

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Reimagine in Magic Editor TL;DR The Google Photos Reimagine feature is starting to roll out to older Pixels. Reports from Reddit and Telegram show it working on Pixel 6 and Pixel 8 devices. Access appears limited for now, so not everyone on the same version will see it. Last September, we spotted early evidence that the Google Photos Reimagine feature, previously exclusive to the Pixel 9 series, might be coming to older Pixels. It took longer than we expected,

Google might replace the upcoming Pixel Pro Fold’s white and black models with two new color options. Leaked renders shared by Android Headlines show the Pixel 10 Pro Fold in a light green “Jade” and a silvery blue “Moonstone” — with no black or white option at all.

Reversing a Fingerprint Reader Protocol (2021)

TLDR: The sensor uses TLS-PSK over USB. We overwrite the PSK and are able to read images. Scan of not-my-finger. I recently got a new Laptop ( Lenovo Ideapad 5 - 15are05 ). Linux compatibility is quite good, as documented in the Arch Wiki. One part that is not working is the fingerprint reader. In this blog post I describe my approach to reverse engineering the fingerprint reader's windows driver and USB protocol.

The Pixel 10 Pro is copying one of the worst things about the Galaxy S25 Ultra

Joe Maring / Android Authority Just a day after official Google Pixel 10 renders leaked (showing the phone in some really striking new colors), we now have the same treatment for the higher-end Pixel 10 Pro. While the Pixel 10 Pro’s design hasn’t been a secret up until now, these latest renders do provide us with the best look yet at Google’s upcoming flagship. And, perhaps most importantly, we now know what colors the Pixel 10 Pro will be available in. So, what are we getting? Unfortunately,

Cops say criminals use a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS – I say that's freedom

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority Police in Spain have reportedly started profiling people based on their phones; specifically, and surprisingly, those carrying Google Pixel devices. Law enforcement officials in Catalonia say they associate Pixels with crime because drug traffickers are increasingly turning to these phones. But it’s not Google’s secure Titan M2 chip that has criminals favoring the Pixel — instead, it’s GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused alternative to the default Pixel OS. As som

Andy Walker / Android Authority When Samsung launched Bixby in 2017, it wasn’t well received. The virtual assistant, intended to rival Google Assistant, wasn’t nearly as mature or capable as it is now. Nevertheless, Samsung tried to push it onto users with a dedicated button well before it was ready. The voice assistant landscape has changed significantly since then. Google Gemini has replaced Assistant as my primary voice channel, but it hasn’t been smooth sailing. I’ve encountered many proble

The Pixel 10 is proof that the iPhone camera strategy isn’t working for Google

Google will launch the Pixel 10 series phones on August 20, and we’re excited about the standard Pixel 10. Leaked renders show that the base phone could offer a triple rear camera system for the first time, as a telephoto camera joins the main and ultrawide shooters. This is a major strategic shift for the standard Pixel flagship phone. However, this also signals Google’s acceptance that it’s no longer copying Apple’s strategy for base flagship phones.

When you open your Netflix app, it's easy to be overwhelmed by the number of shows to choose from.

This startup thinks email could be the key to usable AI agents

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2026-01-09 05:06:48

AI companies are pushing agents as the next Great Workplace Disruptor, but experts say they’re still not ready for prime time. AI agents often struggle to make decisions by themselves, hallucinate frequently, can’t cooperate with other agents, fail at confidentiality awareness, and integrate poorly with existing systems. Industry pioneers like Andrej Karpathy and Ali Ghodsi have said that, like the deployment of autonomous vehicles, humans need to be in the loop in order for agents to succeed.
