androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-23 22:30:59

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority The Pixel 10 is a fresh new phone series, but its novelty lies mainly in the software, which revolves around features like Magic Cue, on-device AI improvements, scam protection, and more. Even camera improvements over the Pixel 9 series — apart from the newly added telephoto on the base Pixel 10 — largely rest on top of software enhancements. Yes, that includes the new 100x zoom on the Pro models. Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority? Set us as a

Survey claims many iPhone owners will switch to Android for a foldable this year

A new survey of US iPhone owners claims that almost a third of them would consider switching to either Samsung or Google in order to get a folding phone this year, rather than waiting until the expected launch of the iPhone Fold next year. There’s a mix of good and bad news for Apple in the rest of the findings, but the headline claim seems a real stretch … SellCell’s survey is of 2,000 iPhone owners.

Google is killing the Android phone feature that once made them popular - and there's a big reason why

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Google will restrict sideloading with developer verification. The move mirrors Apple's long-standing security approach. Android loses one of its last big differences from iOS. For years, one of the biggest talking points in the Android vs. iOS debate has been freedom of choice -- and nothing summed that up more than sideloading. "But iOS is a walled garden.

The first inkjet printer was a medical device

news.ycombinator.com Allison Marsh 2025-10-22 14:08:07

Millions of people worldwide have reason to be thankful that Swedish engineer Rune Elmqvist decided not to practice medicine. Although qualified as a doctor, he chose to invent medical equipment instead. In 1949, while working at Elema-Schonander (later Siemens-Elema), in Stockholm, he applied for a patent for the Mingograph, the first inkjet printer. Its movable nozzle deposited an electrostatically controlled jet of ink droplets on a spool of paper. Rune Elmqvist qualified to be a physician,
