Whatever you do, don’t buy a Google Pixel phone right now

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google’s Pixel phones are often among the most highly-regarded in the Android world. The most recent Pixel 9 series is no exception to that rule, and, if anything, it’s the best example of it yet. Whether we’re talking about the baseline Pixel 9 or any of the flagship Pixel 9 Pro models, the current slate of Google Pixel phones is mighty impressive. That all said, if you’re in the market for a new Android phone right now, you absolutely should not buy a Googl

As a linguist, I want to find the words to measure chronic illness

Heather Hogan / The Sick Times Let me paint a scene that is all too familiar: I’m not feeling well (again), I go to the doctor (again), they take some blood (again; I turn my head away) and poke at me in whatever way my insurance company deems appropriate. The result is a long sheet of seemingly arbitrary numbers that indicate something about my metabolic processes and the resulting sensations, and I leave without much information aside from some variation of: “These tests tell me that your bo

The history of the Schwartzian Transform (2016)

The History of the Schwartzian Transform The history of the Schwartzian Transform is fascinating, full of intrigue, competing philosophies, and cross-language reluctant cooperation. The Schwartzian Transform is the name applied to a particular implementation of a cached-key sorting algorithm. The first public appearance is probably Randal Schwartz’s Usenet post on December 16, 1994 in response to Ken Brown’s request for help: I’m having trouble sorting on the *last* word of the last field in

Nintendo released its Switch 2 almost two months ago, and it sold close to 6 million units, according to the company's latest quarterly report.

I—A Noiseless Flash At exactly fifteen minutes past eight in the morning, on August 6, 1945, Japanese time, at the moment when the atomic bomb flashed above Hiroshima, Miss Toshiko Sasaki, a clerk in the personnel department of the East Asia Tin Works, had just sat down at her place in the plant office and was turning her head to speak to the girl at the next desk.

I tested 13 Switch 2 cases and these are the best

You might find it kind of sad to put a hard-earned gadget into a protective case. To me, it’s freeing. Using a case relieves me of the worry that it will accumulate tons of little scratches. So, I wasted no time testing cases on the new Nintendo Switch 2, and it didn’t take long for me to find one that I think is the best. I tried several types of cases on the Switch 2. I tested flimsy shells that snap or slide onto the Switch 2 to provide a simple, aesthetically pleasing barrier from scratches

‘Star Trek’ Star Anson Mount Studied Gene Roddenberry Tapes for His ‘Strange New World’ Homage

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-16 12:26:35

While io9 had mixed feelings about last week’s episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, one thing about “A Space Adventure Hour” that worked well was its gleeful recreation of 1960s Hollywood. With a bit of chaotic holodeck assistance, the story saw likenesses of the main cast acting out a murder mystery set behind the scenes of a show that very much resembled the original Star Trek, complete with a nerdy creator that’s clearly a stand-in for Trek‘s own Gene Roddenberry.

The browser maker urged devs to "exercise extreme caution and scrutiny" when reviewing seemingly legitimate emails from senders pretending to be Mozilla or AMO (addons.mozilla.org). Although phishing emails can take many forms, Moz said this campaign usually lures devs into clicking through a malicious link to update their account.

Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ May Be Ready for Testing Just Before the 2028 Election: Report

Nevertheless, Trump has made it a point to do just this. In January, Trump initially announced the “Golden Dome,” a project to protect Americans from the “threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks.” The project, which is intended to u

OpenMind wants to be the Android operating system of humanoid robots

The Silicon Valley-based startup is building a software layer, called OM1, for humanoid robots that acts as an operating system.
