Returning to work or school from summer vacation is never easy, but the Aura Aspen could help you hold onto your favorite memories by putting them front and center. And right now, you can pick up the digital photo frame for around $199 ($30 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Aura, which is a new low price. For a digital photo frame, the slim, 12-inch Aura Aspen looks remarkably traditional. My colleague Jennif

is a senior reporter focusing on wearables, health tech, and more with 13 years of experience. Before coming to The Verge, she worked for Gizmodo and PC Magazine. I keep hearing the same sentence repeating in my head. “My vision is that every American is wearing a wearable within four years.” RFK Jr., our current secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, said this at a congressional hearing at the end of June.

I compared Gemini to Google Assistant on two Wear OS watches. The results weren’t even close

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-10 00:00:54

Joe Maring / Android Authority About a month ago, Google started doing something long overdue for Wear OS: it finally began replacing Google Assistant with Gemini. As imperfect as it may be at times, Gemini is a really powerful tool. More importantly, Google Assistant on Wear OS has been showing its age for a while now. I’ve been testing Gemini on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a little over two weeks. In addition to using it for daily tasks, I’ve also been comparing it side by side wi

I switched to this YouTube client and I’m never going back

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-10 00:30:19

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority YouTube has been a part of my life since its early days in the late 00s. It’s no secret that today’s YouTube is a far cry from what it used to be. YouTube was free back then; free from subscriptions, free from ads, even free from terrible video suggestions. It was raw and real. Now when we open the app we’re bombarded with pop-ups and ads and the algorithm is awful at surfacing stuff we want to watch. So like many of you, I went searching for a replacement.

Android 16’s support for external keyboards blew my mind

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-10 01:00:15

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been years since I last tried to pair a Bluetooth or USB keyboard with my Android phone. After being a physical QWERTY proponent for years and hating on touchscreen typing, I wholly but slowly embraced pecking on a glass surface. There were a few times I wished I had a keyboard for my Android tablets, but it wasn’t frequent enough to make me pay for one. That changed a few weeks ago when I started testing the Clicks Keyboard with my Pixel 9 Pro, which is

Google Maps sucks on unpaved roads, so I use this open source app instead

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-10 01:30:16

Andy Walker / Android Authority Google Maps was primarily designed for inner-city travel, where roads are well-marked and relatively smooth. I doubt the app’s developers envisioned users navigating gravel roads in the heartland of South Africa. So, it’s unsurprising that the app becomes far less useful once you hit the dirt. However, where Google Maps falls short, OsmAnd excels. OsmAnd is a free, open-source app on the Play Store and F-Droid. It draws data from various sources, primarily relyi

Debugging a mysterious HTTP streaming issue

The Problem We recently encountered a frustrating issue with HTTP response streaming at Mintlify. Our system uses the AI SDK with the Node stream API to forward streams, and suddenly things stopped working properly. The symptoms were confusing: streaming worked perfectly with cURL and Postman, but failed completely with node-fetch and browser fetch. ‍ Initial Investigation Our first hypothesis centered around stream compatibility issues.

Virtual 6NF

news.ycombinator.com Alexey Makhotkin 2025-08-09 23:18:58

One of the goals of this substack is to research ways of removing historical cruft from the way relational model is taught. One thing that puzzles me particularly is why Sixth Normal Form (6NF) is historically treated so... reverently? Lots of texts on the internet consider 6NF to be “exotic”, “academic”, “never used in practice”, etc., etc. As software developers, we can solve any problem by adding one level of abstraction, and database modeling is not an exception.

A SPARC makes a little fire

Way back in May of 2018, I was unable to get the SparcStation 1+ to stop returning “Illegal Instruction” errors for any attempt at booting. This made absolutely no sense to anyone I asked about it, and they suggested replacing the PROM battery, because at least then we’d have fewer known-broken parts in the computer. I ignored this advice, and just stuck the computer in a corner with the other broken machines for awhile so it could think about what it did. A few weekends later, I decided to go

Did California's Fast Food Minimum Wage Reduce Employment?

We analyze the effect of California's $20 fast food minimum wage, which was enacted in September 2023 and went into effect in April 2024, on employment in the fast food sector. In unadjusted data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, we find that employment in California's fast food sector declined by 2.7 percent relative to employment in the fast food sector elsewhere in the United States from September 2023 through September 2024.

Partially Matching Zig Enums

Partially Matching Zig Enums A short post about a neat little Zig idiom. Consider your average {sum type, variant, tagged union, enum, alt}: enum U { A ( i32 ), B ( i32 ), C, } Usually, you handle it like this: match u { U:: A (_) => handle_a (), U:: B (_) => handle_b (), U::C => handle_c (), } But once in a while, there’s common handling code you want to run for several variants. The most straightforward way is to duplicate: match u { U:: A (_) => { handle_ab (); handle_a (); } U:: B (_)

Quantum Computers Are Here and They’re Real. You Just Haven’t Noticed Yet

The promise of quantum computers appears to be that they will upend modern computing as we know it. With exceptional computational power, they’ll be performing feats unimaginable for any classical supercomputer. The reality of quantum computers hasn’t quite lived up to its hype, however.
