9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-10-29 23:13:25

From the United States to the United Kingdom, from Brazil to Japan, and in many countries in between, Apple has been facing a series of antitrust probes, particularly over its App Store rules. Now, Colombia is also joining in. Here are the details. Last year, Colombia’s Office for Competition Protection launched a probe into Apple’s App Store rules. In its preliminary conclusion, it said that Apple had “employed abusive strategies that were contrary to free commerce.” Now, as reported by Mobil

You can now interact with third-party agents directly within Zed. To make this possible, we created the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), and we've partnered with Google to integrate Gemini CLI as the initial reference implementation. Because software developers rely on diverse tools in a variety of different tech stacks, we see room for multiple agents competing to solve problems in different domains.

Das Problem mit German Strings

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-31 11:59:35

German strings are everywhere I look. The impression I’ve gotten from working in the Rust Arrow/Datafusion ecosystem and related file formats for the last couple of months is that StringViews (the implementation of German strings in Arrow) are becoming, if they have not already, the canonical form of representing string columns at execution time. This is generally a good idea. German strings are a fantastic innovation rooted in simplicity that greatly improves most string processing use-cases i

Scientists Uncover Unexpected Connection Between Covid and the Common Cold

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-01 22:25:00

As annoying as catching a cold may be, there could be a silver lining. New research suggests that it may temporarily protect you from getting covid-19. Researchers revealed that individuals, especially children, who had recently been infected by a rhinovirus—the most frequent culprit behind the common cold—were remarkably less likely to get a SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes covid-19, in the following weeks. These results might shed light onto why children have lower chances of devel

Google is testing new colors for Android Auto, again (APK teardown)

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a less vibrant, desaturated color palette for Android Auto. The change uses a “Primary Color” derived from the user’s wallpaper to avoid overly bright visuals while driving. These changes are still being tested and have not yet begun rolling out publicly. Material 3 Expressive is the season’s flavor, and many Google apps have adopted the new design language. Android Auto also took part in the Material 3 Expressive revolution, rolling ou

Satellites Spotted a Strange Glow in the Ocean, and Scientists Have a Wild Explanation

Since the early 2000s, scientists have been puzzled by a gleaming turquoise spot in the middle of the Antarctic Ocean showing up in satellite images. The patch is located just south of the great calcite belt, a region that's rich in the mineral form of calcium carbonate, and teeming with coccolithophores, tiny marine organisms that grow reflective calcite shells out of the mineral. The patch itself, however, has been considered far too frigid to support these tiny plankton, causing a longstand

Media over QUIC (MoQ): Refactoring the Internet's real-time media stack

WebRTC gave us interactivity. Each solved a specific problem for its time, and together they power the global streaming ecosystem we rely on today.

The attr() function in CSS is a powerful function that allows you to use the value of an attribute of an HTML element as the value of a CSS property. This function is commonly used with the content property in pseudo-elements to display the value of an attribute on the page. The attr() function has been around for a while and is widely used in CSS. However, it was limited to only accepting a single argument: the name of the attribute whose value you wanted to use.
