androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-28 20:00:30

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR OEMs can now highlight specific digital assistants as “optimized” for their Android devices in the default app settings. Google says it created the feature at an OEM’s request so OEMs can recommend assistants verified to work with their first-party applications. While Google says it won’t do this on its own Pixel phones, the feature comes as the company is facing growing regulatory pressure. For many years, Google Assistant was widely seen as the best

If you’re a fan of retro Sega games – or just think you might be – you’ll want to download nine of them to your iPhone before they are discontinued … CNET’s Zachary McAuliffe spotted the warning message when downloading a couple of them.

CarPlay in iOS 26 brings support for Messages tapbacks Ever since Apple unveiled the “next generation of CarPlay” in 2022, new updates for the standard CarPlay experience have been fairly underwhelming.

Munich from a Hamburger's Perspective

Over the long weekend, thanks to Whit Monday being a public holiday in Germany, I decided to visit a friend who lives in Munich.

I saw a lot during my stay, and since I live in Hamburg, I naturally started comparing the two cities. There are quite a few differences.

Here’s a problem with local-first software. You want to work on a document together with a friend who lives far away from you. That sounds like local-first’s bread and butter: store the document as a CRDT, then use some sort of sync server to merge updates and relay them between you and your friend. But there’s a catch: the contents of that document are secret. So secret, in fact, that you don’t even want the app developer to know what they are. One way to solve this is end-to-end encryption.
