The Galaxy Z Fold 7 shows why the punch-hole camera is here to stay, and I’m not mad about it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-06 09:00:12

Ryan Haines / Android Authority After years of feeling a bit stagnant, Samsung’s rejigged Galaxy Z Fold 7 booklet foldable has found some new fans in the Android Authority team. Its wonderfully slim design, more comfortable aspect ratio, and stellar One UI software make this an ultra-premium foldable that’s truly worth the substantial investment. One change that’s flown under the radar is Samsung’s return to a punch-hole selfie camera, in place of the under-display setup from years gone by. Wh

Google’s rollout of Bluetooth audio sharing on Pixels has been a mess

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-06 10:00:13

TL;DR Google’s new Pixel Buds 2a lack Bluetooth audio sharing, highlighting a confusing and inconsistent implementation of the Auracast feature across Pixel devices. The feature is mysteriously disabled on the Pixel Buds Pro 2 when paired with a Pixel phone and artificially blocked on budget A-series phones. This haphazard approach hinders the adoption of the universal Auracast standard, which could solve audio sharing issues for all consumers. Google’s newly announced Pixel Buds 2a are a big

You likely shouldn’t hold your breath for a new pair of AirPods Max: report

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-11-06 08:56:08

AirPods Max have had a bit of a disappointing history. After much anticipation, they finally released at the tail end of 2020. Some fans were disappointed with the high price tag and rather heavy aluminum and steel design, and have been looking forward to a revamp ever since. Despite being refreshed last year, it was merely just a USB-C port swap and new colors. The headphones still lack in features compared to Apple’s newer AirPods Pro 2, and that likely won’t be changing. Per Mark Gurman’s P

You can now download and tweak Grok 2.5 for yourself as it goes open source

Unhinged as Grok may be, it's now open source. xAI's CEO, Elon Musk, posted on X that the company made the older Grok 2.5 model available to the public and will do the same with the upcoming Grok 3. For now, anyone can download, run and even tweak Grok, whose source code was uploaded to the Hugging Face platform.

Google Pixel 10 Pro vs. iPhone 16 Pro: I've used both handsets, and there's a clear winner

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-11-06 04:00:25

Kerry Wan/ZDNET After the success of launching four flagship phones last year, Google is set to continue the trend with the new Pixel 10 series. The Google Pixel 10 Pro stands out as potentially the best option for many people. With a starting price of $999, it offers a compelling blend of premium features borrowed from its more expensive sibling, all in the more manageable size of the standard Pixel 10.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: I compared both Androids, and here's the winner

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-11-06 06:00:20

Joseph Maldonado and Kerry Wan/ZDNET The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has finally arrived, and it isn't taking on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a generational design leap. Instead, it competes by adding quality-of-life features -- a couple of which are industry-firsts for a foldable phone. If you are ready to upgrade from a slab phone to a foldable one, now is the best time to do so. However, it can be confusing to make a decision when both Google and Samsung book-style foldables are so good this year.

It is worth it to buy the fast CPU

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-06 00:03:15

In the past few years, CPUs have gotten really fast. Shockingly fast! Yet most people are stuck on previous generation mobile chips (whether by choice, or by their companies choice), at a huge detriment to their productivity. Meanwhile, AI coding subscriptions like Cursor are all the rage these days. I'll skip the debate on exactly how useful these tools are, and focus on the pricing. Cursor is $480/year for the team plan (the cheapest corporate plan), and other providers are around the same, s

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.

Joseph Maldonado/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Google's new Pixel 10 isn't worth the upgrade for me. It comes down to cost, color, and lack of new killer features. Too much AI is also a deterrent. The new Pixel 10 is upon us, and, as usual, Google wants us all to upgrade. For many of us, trading in our current model for a discount on the newer version has become a yearly tradition.

Marshal madness: A brief history of Ruby deserialization exploits

The story of deserialization exploits in Ruby’s Marshal module offers a uniquely well-documented case study of this phenomenon.

SpaceX Is Losing a Staggering Amount of Money Every Time One of Its Starships Explodes

The new Pixels are here, and, to be frank, they’re a bit of a mixed bag in terms of upgrades.
