The Galaxy S26 Pro might kill the best Samsung phone for most people

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-22 03:30:34

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority We’ve heard that Apple is planning to shake up its iPhone lineup this year by dropping the Plus model in favor of a thinner iPhone Air — going from the least-hyped iPhone to what’s sure to be an attention grabber. Samsung, too, introduced the Galaxy S25 Edge to show off a slimmer design on the Android side. But the rest of the S25 lineup? Boring with a capital B. There weren’t enough changes to justify it as a worthwhile early upgrade over the Galaxy S24 ser

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is reportedly developing affordable smart glasses inspired by Ray-Ban Meta. The glasses may include a camera, speakers, and a microphone, but no display. Set for a late 2026 debut, these smart glasses are separate from Samsung’s XR headset plans. Smart glasses remain a particularly niche genre of wearable technology, even in mid-2025, but they are steadily growing in popularity.

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority Google’s mid-range Pixel phones have suffered from a litany of battery issues.

The issues haven’t ended here, as Google is now offering free battery replacements for some Pixel 7a models due to battery swelling. Will these issues affect the Pixel 9a? I have my reservation

Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux

news.ycombinator.com Mark Stosberg 2025-12-19 10:00:04

On Linux, Control-C and Control-V don't work for copying and pasting in terminals. The Control modifier is used for its original purpose of inserting control codes. Instead, terminal apps require an extra Shift modifier, like Control+Shift+C. But what if there were hidden shortcut combos for copy and paste on Linux that work across most apps without adding any additional software or configuration? By the end of 2025, this will be the case, and many apps already support them. Here's the scoop!
