I Tried Living Without the Internet for a Day: It Made Me Want to Throw Away My Phone

I stood on a ridge in the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque, New Mexico, surrounded by pinyon trees and red-barked pines, listening to the trill of dark-eyed juncos jostling through the underbrush. Amid all this beauty, my phone chimed. And chimed again. And buzzed and beeped. A friend sent an Instagram link. Uber Eats offered a discount deal. Target had a coupon for cleaning products.

Google is now rolling out a fix for buggy Pixel lock screens after Android 16

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-13 00:51:43

Google was (unsurprisingly) the first smartphone brand to offer stable Android 16 . Unfortunately, this update also resulted in seriously buggy lock screens for some Pixel owners. Thankfully, a Google spokesperson has confirmed to Android Authority that the problem has been addressed: A fix for this issue has begun rolling out today [July 8 – ed]. It’s automatic and users don’t need to take any action. We’re guessing this is a gradual release, so you might have to wait a couple of days if you

US Court nullifies FTC requirement for click-to-cancel

A federal appeals court today struck down a "click-to-cancel" rule that would have required companies to make cancelling services as easy as signing up. The Federal Trade Commission rule was scheduled to take effect on July 14 but was vacated by the US Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. A three-judge panel ruled unanimously that the Biden-era FTC, then led by Chair Lina Khan, failed to follow the full rulemaking process required under US law.

Scientists Discover Secret Weapon That Allows Pythons to Digest Bones

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-02-13 03:00:40

Pythons are notorious for their eating habits. After suffocating their prey with their lithe bodies, these large snakes swallow the animal whole. Now, researchers have shed new light on the cellular mechanisms that allow them to digest entire skeletons. The study, presented July 9 at the Society for Experimental Biology Annual Conference in Belgium and published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, investigated the intestinal cells of Burmese pythons.

Choosing a Database Schema for Polymorphic Data (2024)

Designing a schema for your relational database is a daunting task that has long term implications for the database's performance, maintainability, and correctness. And it often requires making decisions before having a clear picture of the exact shape and distribution of your data, or what the common access patterns will look like. It's not a permanent decision: tables can be altered and databases migrated. But these migrations can be slow and expensive. To top it all off, some data is less am
