AYANEO handhelds are known for premium pricing, but the company claims “everyone can afford” this one.

Delete, Delete, Delete: How FCC Republicans are killing rules faster than ever

The Federal Communications Commission's Republican chairman is eliminating regulations at breakneck speed by using a process that cuts dozens of rules at a time while giving the public only 10 or 20 days to review each proposal and submit objections. Chairman Brendan Carr started his "Delete, Delete, Delete" rule-cutting initiative in March and later announced he'd be using the Direct Final Rule (DFR) mechanism to eliminate regulations without a full public-comment period.

I recreated one of my favorite Pixel 10 features with this app

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-23 12:30:59

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority The Pixel 10 is a fresh new phone series, but its novelty lies mainly in the software, which revolves around features like Magic Cue, on-device AI improvements, scam protection, and more. Even camera improvements over the Pixel 9 series — apart from the newly added telephoto on the base Pixel 10 — largely rest on top of software enhancements.

I'm a longtime Pixel fan - but I'm skipping the latest model, and here's why

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Google's new Pixel 10 isn't worth the upgrade for me. It comes down to cost, color, and lack of new killer features. Too much AI is also a deterrent. The new Pixel 10 is upon us, and, as usual, Google wants us all to upgrade. For many of us, trading in our current model for a discount on the newer version has become a yearly tradition. I've done it ever since Google adopted the trade-in policy,

The move mirrors Apple's long-standing security approach. Android loses one of its last big differences from iOS.

The first inkjet printer was a medical device

news.ycombinator.com Allison Marsh 2025-10-22 04:08:07

Millions of people worldwide have reason to be thankful that Swedish engineer Rune Elmqvist decided not to practice medicine. Although qualified as a doctor, he chose to invent medical equipment instead. In 1949, while working at Elema-Schonander (later Siemens-Elema), in Stockholm, he applied for a patent for the Mingograph, the first inkjet printer. Its movable nozzle deposited an electrostatically controlled jet of ink droplets on a spool of paper. Rune Elmqvist qualified to be a physician,

It’s surprisingly easy to remove Google’s digital AI watermark on the Pixel 10

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-20 17:30:31

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Like the Samsung Galaxy S25, Google’s new Pixel 10 series is adopting C2PA metadata for digital media authenticity. Anytime the phones take a photo or edit it, they embed a watermark in the final image that traces its origin and any changes made to it. Google, like Samsung, is following this standard to help combat all inevitable confusion around an image’s provenance and veracity on the internet. Is this photo real or AI? Or is it real with AI embellishments?
