Joe Maring / Android Authority There are so many software changes to talk about with the Google Pixel 10, and perhaps one of the biggest is Google’s Material 3 Expressive redesign.

As I’ve been testing all the various Material 3 Expressive updates on the Pixel 10 Pro, something that has stood out to me is the new Quick Settings UI.

It was a quiet Labor Day weekend for tech, but the Engadget team has kept busy testing out new gear from the likes of DJI, Sony and Bose. I want to kick things off with the new flagship DJI Mic 3.

India’s Offgrid raises $15M to make lithium optional for battery storage

Lithium has become the default choice for battery-powered systems, but its limitations — from volatile supply chains to short lifespans — are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Offgrid Energy Labs, a deep-tech startup based in India, wants to make lithium less central, especially when it comes to battery storage.

Using JWT to establish a trusted context for Row Level Security

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-21 21:32:51

Row-level security (RLS) is a great feature. It allows restricting access to rows by applying filters defined by a policy. It’s a tool useful for cases when the data set can’t be split into separate databases. Sadly, using RLS may be quite cumbersome. RLS requires some sort of “trusted context” for the RLS policies. The policies need to filter using data the user can’t change. If the filter uses some sort of “tenant ID”, and the user can change it to an arbitrary value, that would break the RLS
