The case for commuting by motorcycle

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-26 21:36:32

America has a motorcycle problem. Whereas the rest of the world views two-wheeled motorized transportation as transportation, the US sees motorcycles and scooters as toys. They're not something you use to commute to work or run errands. Instead, they're for riding to the coffee shop on weekends. This is a flawed line of thinking, and I'll tell you why, using two motorcycles as examples. But first, hear me out. I live in Los Angeles, which is famous for its hellacious traffic.

Is your Android Auto screen suddenly a washed-out nightmare? You’re not alone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-27 02:08:12

TL;DR Android Auto users claim that a recent update has created a contrast problem. The reports claim that displays now appear washed out. The problem is bad enough that some users thought the change was a design choice. It’s difficult not to notice when a display suddenly changes from showing rich colors to being washed out. If you’re someone who cares about how your screen looks, it can be incredibly unpleasant to have to look at a panel where blacks now look grey. This is a problem that ap

Tony Robbins and Peter Diamandis’ longevity company Fountain Life raises $18M

Eight years ago, orthopedic surgeon Dr. William Kapp attended a medical conference that changed his professional life. He had gone from a private-practice doctor to co-founding a company that built critical care hospitals to then selling that company. It gave him an interest for both sides of healthcare: the medicine and business sides, he told TechCrunch. So he went to the annual conference hosted by famed physician-scientist Dr. Daniel Kraft to learn about new tech that could improve results

A bump in iPhone storage is coming, but Apple already made it irrelevant to me

That’s always welcome, of course, but a move Apple made two years ago already made it irrelevant to me … iPhone 17 Pro storage bump With Apple facing import tariffs on iPhones manufactured in China, it had always seemed likely that it was going to pass on at least some of these costs to iPhone buyers.

Since the original Tamagotchi landed on store shelves 28 years ago, not much has changed in the world of virtual pets.

What to Do When Critical Open Source Projects Go End of Life

Ninety-eight percent of organizations use open source software (OSS) regularly, according to the Linux Foundation. Open source is pervasive. It’s embedded into the fabric of most applications we use in our daily lives. But it’s getting harder to keep up the pace of OSS version deprecations and end-of-life (EOL) cycles. “The life cycle for open source versions is definitely shortening,” Aaron Frost, co-founder and CEO at HeroDevs, which offers long-term support for deprecated open source, told T

F-Droid build servers can't build modern Android apps due to outdated CPUs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-28 05:43:39

On August 7, 2025, a new build problem started hitting many Android apps on F-Droid. Many Android apps on F-Droid have been unable to publish updates if they use Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 8.12.0 or Gradle 9.0. The root cause: Google’s new aapt2 binary in AGP 8.12.0 started requiring CPU instructions (SSE4.1, SSSE3) that F-Droid’s build farm hardware doesn’t support. This is similar to a 2021 AGP 4.1.0 issue, but it has returned, and now affects hundreds of apps. As an example, my open-source
