Hate Google TV home screen ads? There’s a new one for you to ignore

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-24 23:43:43

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google has started displaying a new Star Wars/Coca-Cola ad on Google TV home screens. The new ad is displayed at the top of the For You page and takes over the majority of the UI. Google TV has had similarly annoying ads for Taco Bell, March Madness, and more. As much as Google TV gets right, the platform’s obsession with displaying advertisements and sponsored content is by far one of its greatest pitfalls. Most recently, one of the newest ads to hit peo

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2026-01-25 03:26:34

A fake extension for the Cursor AI IDE code editor infected devices with remote access tools and infostealers, which, in one case, led to the theft of $500,000 in cryptocurrency from a Russian crypto developer.

The Structure of Ice in Space Is Neither Order nor Chaos—It’s Both

wired.com Jorge Garay 2026-01-26 11:00:00

Ice is a key component in the universe. There are frozen water molecules on comets, moons, exoplanets, and in your drink as you cool off from the summer heat. However, under the microscope, not all ice is the same, even though it is made of the same components. The internal structure of Earth’s ice is a cosmological oddity. Its molecules are arranged in geometric structures, usually hexagons that repeat each other. Ice on Earth forms this way due to the temperature and pressure of the our plane

China Working On Levitating Train That Could Get You From New York to Chicago in Two Hours

As the United States struggles to keep its major cities connected by even the most barebones rail systems, China is screaming into the future with the development of a levitating bullet train. Called "maglev," short for "magnetic levitation," the train system is designed to levitate via magnets as opposed to wheels. Maglev systems can reach higher speeds much more efficiently than their wheeled counterparts, though the infrastructure needed to run them is incredibly expensive. While there are

For Algorithms, Memory Is a Far More Powerful Resource Than Time

wired.com Ben Brubaker 2026-01-26 03:00:00

That classic result was a way to transform any algorithm with a given time budget into a new algorithm with a slightly smaller space budget. Williams saw that a simulation based on squishy pebbles would make the new algorithm’s space usage much smaller—roughly equal to the square root of the original algorithm’s time budget. That new space-efficient algorithm would also be much slower, so the simulation was not likely to have practical applications. But from a theoretical point of view, it was n
