6 free Android apps I use to learn something new every day

Megan Ellis / Android Authority I’ve had a lifelong love of learning, to the point where I used to read encyclopedias and dictionaries as a child, along with a variety of non-fiction books around specific topics. This love of learning hasn’t dampened as an adult, as I frequently find myself in Wikipedia rabbit holes, and my YouTube Watch Later list is filled with topics around science, history, psychology, and other topics I want to learn about. The difference, however, is that I have a lot le

ZDNET's key takeaways The new Ecovacs Deebot N30 Omni retails for $700 This midrange robot vacuum and mop features auto-emptying, mop washing and drying, and strong suction, which we were able to confirm during testing The downside is that the Deebot N30 Omni doesn't boast the best obstacle avoidance capabilities, which significantly hinders how often you have to rescue it after it gets stuck on a small object. $379.99 at Amazon $379.99 at Walmart more buying choices The Ecovacs Deebot N30 Om

Fortnite Maker Epic Games Settles With Samsung Following App-Blocking Lawsuit

Epic Games says it's reached a settlement after taking legal action against Samsung, which it sued last year along with Google over antitrust issues. In a motion filed in a California district court, Epic requested a dismissal of its claims against Samsung, saying Epic, "has reached a settlement agreement with Defendants Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc." Epic did not disclose the terms of the settlement, but the original suit focused around Samsung blocking th

Is it possible to play doom on an oscilloscope using only lissajous figures?

Getting a piece of electronics to run doom (1993) is a classic project in hobby electronics, and so far people have gotten doom to run on pretty much anything, including analog oscilloscopes. However, in all cases that I have seen, the only part of the oscilloscope that is really "running" doom is the CRT display, which is hooked directly to an external computer a la 90's game consoles.Meanwhile, people also have managed to get analog oscilloscopes to display some pretty extraordinary and dynami

On Mexico’s Caribbean Coast, There’s Lobster for the Tourists and Microplastics for Everyone Else

The fishermen of Puerto Morelos, on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, risk their lives every time they head out to sea to fish or dive for lobsters. Their bounty is dependent on luck, as the weather often makes it impossible to go out, while on other days the hooks they cast come back empty. These workers set out every day to find the best lobsters possible for the affluent vacationers who come to the region, while they and their families, cut off from many of the benefits of tourism development, get by

Why English doesn't use accents

Portrait of Jean Miélot (after 1456), Jean le Tavernier Canterbury, AD 1105 The cold of the stone floor in the scriptorium creeps up through Godwin’s boots. He pays it no mind. Before him lies a copy of the Chronicle, just arrived from the old capital of Winchester. In it is written the history of the English people. His people. Today, his job is to make another copy. No difficult task for Godwin, or any monk. But Abbot Robert will want to inspect the work before vespers. Abbot Robert. A No

Take Two: Eshell

30 Jun 2025 Charles Choi This is a contribution to the Emacs Carnival 2025-06: Take Two collection of posts on Christian Tietze’s blog. My first take with Eshell many years back did not leave a good impression. My early expectations was that it should act like any other shell, only to be unpleasantly surprised by it. It took a long time for me to warm up to Eshell. Upon reflection, it was because I wasn’t ready for it. Now Eshell is an inseparable part of my Emacs experience. Paradoxically th

We Found the 8 Most Common Foods With Microplastics

Microplastics are the latest hidden hazard worry for the world -- and now they've even been found in chewing gum. UCLA researchers have found that every time we chew gum, microplastics are released directly into our mouths. In addition to that, a new study published in Chemistry for Life tested 10 chewing gum brands and found every single one contained microplastics. This was found to be the case with both natural and synthetic varieties. A gram of gum releases around 100 microplastics on averag

Shonen Jump’s Comics App Now Lets You Read as Much Manga as You Want

Shonen Jump’s manga reading app has long been one of the best deals in digital comics—free recent chapters, speedy turnaround on official translations of some of the biggest manga in the world, and access to a vault spreading across some of the biggest series in comics for $3 a month. But now the app is removing one particular hurdle that makes it even better. This week Shonen Jump announced in an email to subscribers that it was removing its 100-chapter-a-day reading limit from the app, which

Android users can now (kinda) edit messages sent to iPhones, but not yet vice-versa

iPhones and Android smartphones started to play more nicely together after Apple finally opted to support the Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard. Prior to this, messages between the two platforms had to use the ancient and insecure text messaging service. Not all RCS features are supported as yet, with the all-important strong encryption waiting for RCS 3.0 support in iOS 26. Another RCS 3.0 feature is the ability to edit outgoing messages after sending them, and that one has started a

Citrix warns of login issues after NetScaler auth bypass patch

Citrix warns that patching recently disclosed vulnerabilities that can be exploited to bypass authentication and launch denial-of-service attacks may also break login pages on NetScaler ADC and Gateway appliances. This happens because starting with NetScaler 14.1.47.46 and 13.1.59.19, the Content Security Policy (CSP) header, which mitigates risks associated with cross-site scripting (XSS), code injection, and other client-side attacks, is enabled by default.

Android users can finally edit messages sent to iPhones, but there’s a catch

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google is finally starting to roll out the ability for Android users to edit RCS messages sent to iPhones, a feature previously unavailable cross-platform. Made possible by the new Universal Profile 3.0 specification, users can long-press a sent message to edit and resend it within a 15-minute window. The feature is in limited testing and isn’t perfect yet, as edited texts currently appear as a new message on iPhones and iPhones can’t edit messages sent t

12 Best Cheap Laptops (2025), Tested and Reviewed

For our full take on what to look for in a laptop, see our guide on choosing the right laptop. Your budget is the most important factor, as it determines what you can expect out of the device you're purchasing. But you should consider display size, chassis thickness, CPU, memory, storage, and port selection. While appropriate specs can vary wildly when you're considering laptops ranging from $200 to $800, there are a few hard lines I don't recommend crossing. For example, don't buy a laptop if

Genesis AI launches with $105M seed funding from Eclipse, Khosla to build AI models for robots

Genesis AI, a startup that aims to build a foundational model for powering all kinds of robots, has emerged from stealth with a giant $105 million seed round co-led by Eclipse Ventures and Khosla Ventures. Founded last December by Zhou Xian (pictured above, left), a Ph.D. in robotics from Carnegie Mellon University, and Théophile Gervet, a former research scientist with the French AI lab Mistral, the startup wants to build a general-purpose model that will enable robots to automate a wide range

Gemini may soon let you send images in texts, thanks to RCS (APK teardown)

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini on Android currently sends only text messages through Google Messages. If you ask Gemini to send an image via Google Messages, it will only send a blank URL in the text, as MMS is not supported yet. New code suggests Gemini will soon support RCS through Google Messages, potentially enabling image sharing. Gemini on Android can be used like a good old digital assistant to send text messages to one of your contacts. Once Gemini accepts the command, i

How thin is the Galaxy Z Fold 7? New leak claims it’s nearly record-breaking

Evan Blass TL;DR According to a new leak, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to be just 8.9mm thick when folded, making it significantly thinner than last year’s model, which measured 12.1mm. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also reportedly getting slimmer and lighter, with upgraded display specs and a larger 4,300mAh battery. Samsung’s new foldables are just a few days away, and the leaks are coming in fast. The latest one spills out key specs of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, including details about ho

Time Is Three-Dimensional and Space Is Just a Side Effect, Scientist Says

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you'll note, but more on that later — from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, time is three-dimensional and the dimensions of space are an emergent property of it, a press release from the university explains. "These three time dimensions are the primary fabric of everything, like the canvas of a paintin
