Why my 12-year-old Kindle is still my favorite piece of tech

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 16:00:08

I’m a tech guy with plenty of gadgets I use regularly. These include my phone, tablet, smartwatch, Bluetooth speaker, laptop, headphones, earbuds, and more. But when I look at my electronics lineup, one device sticks out as a symbol of what great technology should be. It was cheap, is old, but still looks almost as new, and I have no reason whatsoever to buy a new one. It’s my Kindle, and I love everything about it.

Google’s working on making it easier to find calls you’ve recorded (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 16:30:12

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s Phone app supports call recording in select areas. Earlier this year we saw the Phone app picking up new filters to sort through your call log. Now the app appears to be working on a filter to quickly display calls that have been recorded. Being able to easily record a voice call is exactly the sort of thing a smartphone should be useful for, but messy legal concerns keep the feature from being nearly as ubiquitous as it should be. Google’s got

I love the new Google Phone app, and a survey shows other Android users do too

Joe Maring / Android Authority While Google has had an incredibly hectic week with the recent launch of the Pixel 10 series, that’s not all the company has been up to. Google has also been busy overhauling its Google Phone app with a load of Material 3 Expressive changes. Between the new home screen layouts, incoming call UI, and contact Calling Cards, the Phone app looks and feels dramatically different from what it did a few short weeks ago.

Forget the Pixel 10 camera’s silly pinch-to-zoom, this is the one trick I use instead

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 17:00:40

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority As much as I’ve loved using the zoom lenses on my Pixel phones since the Pixel 6 Pro, I’ll admit that it’s a pain to find the exact zoom level I need with Google’s silly camera UI. Pinching to zoom is not as precise as I like it to be, and I like round numbers, so you’ll never see me zoom to something like 6.4x or 12.9x. I’d rather move my hand or step forward/back to get a round number. The other reason is that Google allows for lossless zoom at specific leve

Google Play Store could soon fix a major annoyance in managing apps across devices (APK teardown)

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing an “Uninstall” button directly within individual app listings in the Play Store. This button, on individual app pages, will make it easier to remotely uninstall apps from other devices. The Google Play Store forms an integral part of the Android flagship experience. It serves as the primary gateway to download and install apps and games on not only your phone but all connected devices in your hardware ecosystem. Over the years, Google ha

The Galaxy Watch 8 is the first smartwatch I’ve ever forgotten I was wearing

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 17:30:11

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is a sleek, lightweight smartwatch that combines smart features with the robust health tracking of Samsung Health. It's pricier than the Galaxy Watch 7, but it's also a smartwatch that I've genuinely enjoyed wearing and using all day and all night, and that's priceless. I have tested plenty of smartwatches over the years, but after bouncing between premium and mid-range wearables across both Android and iOS, the Galaxy Watch 8 has managed to do

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a new design for Quick Share. The new UI brings separate “Receive” and “Send” screens. In the “Send” mode, you can now select files directly and preview them before sending. Google’s Quick Share is an effortless way to transfer large files at high speeds from or to Android devices.

The OnePlus 15 could put the Pixel 10 Pro to shame for base storage

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 18:12:26

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The OnePlus 15 will apparently start at 12GB/256GB storage, all the way to 16GB/1TB. This means the phone will have more base storage than the Pixel 10 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro. The phone is also tipped to arrive in Purple and Titanium colors, in addition to the previously leaked Black option.

There is a mouse graveyard in my office cabinet — devices I’ve tried and discarded because they didn’t help with my shoulder aches. The solution was a roller ball mouse and Logitech’s MX Ergo is the best I’ve found. It tilts for a more natural “handshake” grip and has a slow-mo option for more precise movements in Photoshop and other apps.

We’ve reviewed half of the Pixel 10 series, and Google continues to improve its phones in very tangible ways. We scored the Pixel 10 Pro 94, which is a high score, but well deserved. With brighter screens, a faster Tensor G5 chip and a bigger battery, a lot of the improvements are software based.

Nullable vs. Nullable in C#

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-28 08:27:31

Nullable vs nullable in C# One of the most unfortunate parts of the nullability narrative in C# is the reuse of the T? syntax to denote two completely separate concepts for value types and reference types. This leads to some odd and confusing behaviour. As you may know, nullable value types is a much older concept than nullable reference types. Nullable value types were introduced in C# 2.0, whereas nullable reference types came in C# 8.0. And they’re not the same. Nullable isn’t nullable. Fo

Probability of typing a wrong Bitcoin address

I heard someone say that Bitcoin is dangerous because you could easily make a typo when entering an address, sending money to the wrong person, and have no recourse. There are dangers associated with Bitcoin, such as losing a private key, but address typos are not a major concern. Checksums There are several kinds of Bitcoin addresses. Each is at least 20 bytes (160 bits) long, with at least 4 bytes (32 bits) of checksum. The chances of a typo resulting in a valid checksum are about 1 in 232.

Infamous ‘Erin Brockovich’ Toxin Polluted Air for Months After LA Fires

The January wildfires left many scars on the city of Los Angeles, from rubble-reduced homes to torched abandoned vehicles. Though cleanup crews quickly cleared much of the debris, one alarming invisible impact lingered over the city for months, a new study suggests.

Some of her reasons for recommending it include its trusted brand name and its 5% hydrogen peroxide whitening agent.
