One UI 8 beta introduces a shape-shifting lock screen clock design

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-25 18:01:44

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The latest One UI 8 beta brings a clock widget for the lock screen. Similar to iOS’ depth effect for the clock, Samsung’s clock automatically wraps around faces in real or animated images. The clock can also be moved around the lock screen, where its text adjusts to the available space. Samsung has already begun beta testing its upcoming interface, One UI 8, and is speculated to release it alongside the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip 7 phones in July. Unlike the

Show HN: Scream to Unlock – Blocks social media until you scream “I'm a loser”

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-29 15:49:56

Hi all, I kept wasting time on social media, even though I’d promised myself I’d stay focused. Regular site blockers didn’t help. I needed something that felt annoying enough to break the habit. That’s how the idea came up: make the blocker ask me to say something embarrassing out loud before it lets me back in. If I actually have to yell “I’m a loser” into my mic. Even better - the louder I screamed, the more time I’d get. So I put together Scream to Unlock. It’s silly, but so far it’s done

Yale TL;DR Yale is releasing its new Smart Lock with Matter support. The lock can be set up and operated entirely within Google Home.

The Matter standard gives the new lock compatibility with platforms like Apple Home and Alexa, but the real value lies in its connections to the Nest Doorbell. Not only d

Here’s a problem with local-first software. You want to work on a document together with a friend who lives far away from you. That sounds like local-first’s bread and butter: store the document as a CRDT, then use some sort of sync server to merge updates and relay them between you and your friend. But there’s a catch: the contents of that document are secret. So secret, in fact, that you don’t even want the app developer to know what they are. One way to solve this is end-to-end encryption.
