The Moto G Stylus (2025) is finally a budget Motorola phone for power users

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-03 02:30:54

Moto G Stylus (2025) The Moto G Stylus (2025) feels like Motorola pulled together almost everything that's worked about its best budget phones and put it into one device. It charges quickly, performs well, and comes with a built-in stylus that's way easier than drawing with a fingertip. I'm begging for longer update support, but otherwise, this is a great cheap Android phone. Motorola’s budget lineup has been through some tricky evolutions over the years. It’s added and removed options on both

This Android launcher reminds me of Windows Phone in the best possible way

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-03 04:00:53

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority I have a confession to make: I wasn’t an Android phone fan at first. I wasn’t an iPhone enthusiast, either. Instead, I was a full-fledged Windows Phone disciple. I absolutely loved the Metro UI, featuring a fresh, tile-based interface that popped on an OLED screen. I loved the interface and cameras so much that I bought a Lumia 1020 and a Lumia 950. I’ve known about Android launchers that emulate this Windows Phone look for years now, and briefly dabbled with

This decade-old LG phone sparked my love for photography — then it died

It was a balmy September evening in 2016, and my friends and I thought it the perfect evening for a night-time hike up Cape Town’s popular Lion’s Head. Placed right in the city’s center, the panoramic views from the peak would no doubt be spectacular, and we had our bags packed full of liquid nourishment for when we reached the top. Two hours later, we got to the summit, and with the city’s sprawling lights glimmering through the still air below us, I spied the perfect photo opportunity. So, I g

Sony unlocks regional restrictions for some PC games in more than 100 countries

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-03 06:22:28

It turns out that region-locking your games makes it harder to sell more copies. First discovered by Wario64, Sony has lifted regional restrictions for several of its titles that are available to play on PC through Steam. Sony hasn't officially announced the removal of these region locks, nor the reason why, but God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Spider-Man 2, and the hit co-op shooter Helldivers 2 can be purchased once again in 177 countries that were previously prohibited,

How easy is it for a developer to "sandbox" a program?

news.ycombinator.com In 2025-09-29 06:57:24

# source code sandboxing Sandboxing is when a developer limits available system resources to a program from within its own source code. A classic example is calling chroot(2) to change the root file-system to an empty directory so that the program cannot scribble into the root file-system. int main(void) { /* Program has full file-system access. */ chroot("/var/empty"); chdir("/"); /* File-system root re-rooted in /var/empty. */ int fd = open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY); /* Tried to open /var/empty

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable Before the 1970s, most children affected by leukemia would quickly die from it. Now, most children in rich countries are cured.

The Starlink Mini terminal is designed as a compact, all-in-one solution with an integrated Wi-Fi router. While this design is ideal for typical consumer use, certain applications—such as custom networking setups, embedded installations, or power-constrained environments—may benefit from removing the internal router entirely. In this article, I’ll detail the process of physically removing the built-in Wi-Fi router board from the Starlink Mini, allowing the terminal to operate solely via Ethernet
