Exclusive: Google wants to make Android phones safer by switching to ‘risk-based’ security updates

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-01 20:00:06

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority For the past decade, Google has consistently published an Android Security Bulletin every month, even if the company wasn’t ready to roll out a security update to its own Pixel devices. These bulletins detail the vulnerabilities that have been fixed in that month’s security release, with issues ranging from low to critical in severity. Given how large and complex the Android operating system and its underlying components are, it’s not unusual to see a dozen or

Big Businesses Are Doing Carbon Dioxide Removal All Wrong

wired.com Joseph Winters 2025-10-01 19:00:00

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 will require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s foremost authority on the topic. But only some types of carbon removal are actually effective—and these are largely not the kind that major companies are investing in. A new report from the NewClimate Institute, a European think

Weird CPU architectures, the MOV only CPU (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-27 23:46:46

I like CPU architectures, especially weird, interesting and unusual ones. For example, the Intel iAPX 432 is still something I would love to play around with. Recently, I realized that a working CPU can be made with just a simple Move instruction. For this to work, everything needs to be memory mapped. The ALU, program counter, everything. Of course, this idea is nothing new and this idea is called the Transport Triggered Architecture. I decided to have a look into this, how it works and make a

Speaking at DSEI, Healey outlined ‘Project Octopus’, a new partnership between the UK and Ukraine.

It suggests American children should be eating more healthily. And they should be getting more exercise. But there’s a glaring omission. The leading cause of death for American children and teenagers isn’t ultraprocessed food or exposure to some chemical. It’s gun violence. This week’s news of yet more high-p

Android Auto could rollback one controversial change but introduce another (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-04 05:07:07

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google could reverse an Android Auto UI change that has upset many users. Instead of using colors from your phone’s wallpaper, Android Auto’s media player could use the album art as the background once again. However, while testing this reversal, Google appears to have messed up another visual aspect in Android Auto.

Apple’s new iPhones, including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the ultra-thin iPhone Air, are finally going out into the world. Once again, the lineup reads like it’s chasing a lot of things Android users have been enjoying for years, but that’s really not a bad thing.
