Brands might be cooling on satellite features, and that’s bad news for cheaper Androids

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-21 12:36:10

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Chinese brands are scaling back satellite communication and keeping it for top-end models only. A reliable tipster says past high-end sat-com flagships sold poorly and were dropped. This could make global brands less likely to bring the feature to affordable phones. Satellite communication has been one of the most talked-about phone features in the past couple of years, and it’s no longer just for emergencies. Just this week, our APK teardown showed h

Is Air Travel Getting Worse? More delays, fewer accidents, and lower prices

news.ycombinator.com Maxwell Tabarrok 2025-11-21 08:06:33

Over the past couple of years, bad personal experiences with delays, testimonies from friends, and news or reactions to air travel incidents seem to have become much more common. It’s difficult to tell if these extra anecdotes reflect a change in the true rate of airline accidents and delays or if they instead result from fluctuations in the human social layer where confirmation bias, saliency, and mimesis can draw our concern far out of proportion. Thus, I turn to the primary source data. Her

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET Most of us already know that carrying unencrypted data on portable drives is a bad idea. The consequences of that data falling into the wrong hands can range from embarrassing to damaging to potentially opening up you or your company to legal headaches.

Does Steven Spielberg’s ‘AI: Artificial Intelligence’ Play Differently Today?

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-21 17:00:42

Rewatching Steven Spielberg’s 2001 film AI: Artificial Intelligence, it feels as plausible as ever, but also more misguided. In 2001, AI was barely a thought in everyday life. It was the thing that destroyed the world in Terminator, and still a lofty goal in tech circles. Today, as the technology continues to grow and dominate daily conversation in almost every way, you may expect to watch the film and have a slightly new perspective. Some change in insight. Instead, the film falters as Spielber

Using meat delivery services has made it easy to have everything I need for cooking dinner delivered right to my door.
