The same photos, four ways: How Android brands see the world differently

Robert Triggs / Android Authority It’s the perfect time of the year to take snaps of pretty, colorful things. But as we know, not every camera captures the same scene in quite the same way. Often, the differences are small, but when it comes to color science, every brand has its own take on what the perfect picture looks like. Despite years of innovation and brand partnerships, it seems impossible to please everyone. Whether it’s Samsung’s historic oversaturation or more modern issues with blan

This Pixel 10 rumor just gave Google an edge over Samsung and OnePlus

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Recent rumors and leaks suggest that the Pixel 10 series will feature magnet-based Qi2 wireless charging. That would position the Google Pixel well above Samsung, Motorola, and OnePlus in charging capabilities. The big question is how fast the charging will be, and how reliable it is compared to the iPhone's MagSafe.

A brazen attack on air safety is underway — here’s what’s at stake

theverge.com Darryl Campbell 2025-11-19 11:00:00

At the end of July, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) convened a three-day public hearing to investigate January’s mid-air collision over Washington, DC that killed 67 people. After the hearing, two conclusions were inescapable. First, the disaster should have been prevented by existing safety rules. And second, the government regulators responsible for air safety have become hesitant to enforce those rules, especially when it means standing up to industry demands for more flights

Anthropic says some Claude models can now end ‘harmful or abusive’ conversations

Anthropic has announced new capabilities that will allow some of its newest, largest models to end conversations in what the company describes as “rare, extreme cases of persistently harmful or abusive user interactions.” Strikingly, Anthropic says it’s doing this not to protect the human user, but rather the AI model itself.

Court Records Reveal Sig Sauer Knew of Pistol Risks for Years

A court exhibit recently published online summarizes Sig Sauer’s internal P320 testing and shows that the gun maker and U.S. Army were both aware of serious safety risks with the pistol since at least 2017, years before it was fielded to soldiers as the full-size M17 and compact M18. The document — prepared as a part of Sig Sauer’s contracting process with the U.S. Army — outlines multiple ways the pistol could fire without an intentional trigger pull.

Snapshots of Kids Bike Jumping in the 1970s

news.ycombinator.com Sheldon D. 2025-11-18 09:37:20

Back in the 1970s (and before), parents didn’t stress about our health and safety as much as they do today. It’s not that they cared less – they just didn’t worry obsessively about it. It’s a far guess to say that some of the kids seen bike jumping and being bike jumped (which is the more dangerous?) are parents now – which means that they survived and can recall how less restricted, less supervised, less obsessively safety-conscious things were – and it was fine.

‘Star Trek’ Is Born on ‘Strange New Worlds’

A few weeks ago in Strange New Worlds‘ up-and-down third season, “A Space Adventure Hour” delivered a deeply unsubtle paean to the creation of Star Trek. This week, Strange New Worlds does much the same: but this time the birth of Star Trek is within the text itself, making for a much more interesting lens on the birth of an icon. From the moment that it opens, it becomes clear that “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail” (named for a Vulcan idiom that Spock uses later on) is not going to be a typical ep
