The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-06 04:00:34

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Android used to be synonymous with freedom. If you didn’t like your phone’s interface or bloatware, you could simply install a custom ROM — the colloquial term for a forked version of the Android operating system. But that golden era is quickly disappearing, as yet another major Android fork has run into troubles. CalyxOS, a major privacy-focused Android distribution, announced a sudden freeze on future releases earlier this month. While the project isn’t di

The Pixel 10 is unquestionably the best phone for people fed up with the iPhone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-06 08:00:04

Google has tried for years to lure iPhone owners to Pixel phones. This has even manifested in the company’s Best Friends Forever series of videos, as well as an RCS messaging campaign targeting Apple. That’s in addition to features like the Android Switch app and wired transfer capabilities to help make it easier to move your data. Now that the Pixel 10 phones are here, though, they might just be the best Android phones for people coming from iPhones. And it doesn’t have anything to do with qui

Notion’s offline mode might just make me ditch Obsidian

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Notion is one of my favorite tools. From databases to to-do lists, tracking restaurants I wanted to check out, and so much more, I’ve dabbled in it for years until I finally made the switch to Obsidian. That’s mostly because of Notion’s one fatal flaw. The moment you lose internet, the app effectively becomes useless. The moment you lose internet, the app effectively becomes useless.

US attack on renewables will lead to power crunch that spikes electricity prices

news.ycombinator.com Spencer Kimball 2025-11-06 10:22:36

Witthaya Prasongsin | Moment | Getty Images President Donald Trump's attack on solar and wind projects threatens to raise energy prices for consumers and undermine a stretched electric grid that's already straining to meet rapidly growing demand, renewable energy executives warn. Trump has long said wind power turbines are unattractive and endanger birds, and that solar installations take up too much land.

A Physicist Wants to Turn Jupiter’s Largest Moon Into a Gigantic Dark Matter Detector

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-06 08:00:14

When searching for the unknown, classic physics wisdom holds that a bigger detector boosts the chances of discovery. A physicist is taking that advice to heart, advancing a bold plan to use none other than Ganymede—Jupiter’s largest moon—as a dark matter detector on an astronomical scale. Dark matter refers to the “invisible” mass that supposedly constitutes 85% of the universe. There’s considerable evidence that dark matter exists, but it’s “dark,” meaning it doesn’t respond to light and very

The Pixel Tablet 2 would’ve been great with Android’s new PC-like keyboard and mouse controls

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Right after blowing our minds with the new AI-powered Voice Translate feature on the Pixel 10, Google went and dashed our hopes of seeing a new Pixel Tablet anytime soon. The company told Bloomberg that it has “paused development on a tablet overhaul until it figures out a meaningful future for the category,” which sure sounds like Google has given up on tablets once again.

Apple could rejuvenate the next iPad Air model with one new feature

The iPad Air hasn’t been a particularly interesting product for a number of years. Apple redesigned it in 2020 with the fourth generation model, and since then – it’s just been spec bumps and small feature upgrades. However, I think the next refresh could be a great opportunity to introduce a large feature upgrade: Face ID. Face ID has remained iPad Pro exclusive Despite the fact that Face ID is now an 8 year old technology, you can still only get it on the iPad Pro. This is in stark contrast
