Android 16’s Live Updates won’t work with your favorite music player, and that’s a bummer

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-13 22:00:04

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 introduces Live Updates, a new feature that elevates ongoing notifications to the status bar, but it excludes media playback notifications. This is because media apps use a dedicated “Media style” template, which is not one of the specific styles that can be promoted to a Live Update. Switching styles would cause media apps to lose key playback controls and features, a trade-off developers are unlikely to make for this new functionality. Li

Evidence of a 12,800-year-old shallow airburst depression in Louisiana

news.ycombinator.com Fitzenreiter 2026-02-13 06:55:53

Introduction Cosmic airbursts and impacts produce a wide range of surface effects, with high-altitude airbursts, such as the 1908 Tunguska event, primarily generating blast damage without forming craters [1]. In contrast, low-altitude “touch-down” airbursts may induce surface melting, spherule formation, shocked quartz, and shallow cratering [2]. Due to preservation challenges, few airburst signatures are documented in the geologic record, limiting our understanding of these events. Here, we rep

These filters can be used similar to how one would use a Bloom filter but with one restriction --- items cannot be added after the filter is built.
