An Update on Pytype

An update on pytype TL;DR: The last supported Python version for Pytype will be 3.12. We are still very actively interested in the space of Python type checking, but shifting our investments towards new ideas and different frameworks. Pytype's development began in 2012 to meet Google developers' demand for compile-time checking. Pytype started with using type inference and interface files, and then switched to inline annotations (while retaining the inference engine) after the acceptance of PE

The ‘Shin Godzilla’ Black-and-White Version Is Finally Getting a U.S. Theatrical Release

While we wait for news on what’s to come in the wake of Godzilla Minus One‘s massive success, this summer has seen the resurgence of Toho’s prior Godzilla reimagining in Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s Shin Godzilla. It got a whole new wave of reappraisal as it stomped back into theaters last week with a brand new 4K remaster—and now, to celebrate its success, and much like Minus One did before it, the movie’s extending its theatrical return with a new black-and-white remastering. Today GKids

Pixel 10 vs Pixel 9: Here’s why I’m tempted to upgrade

Autumn isn’t usually the time to compare a newly launched phone to its direct predecessor. The upgrades over a device from a year ago are typically so minimal that one should stick to their existing phone for a couple more years before considering an upgrade. But the new Pixel 10 is a little different this time around. The Pixel 10 is getting improvements in nearly every single department, making it feel like a proper generational leap. On an individual level, these may seem like little upgrade

The Pixel 10 Pro has a smart home feature that might make it future-proof

TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 Pro includes a built-in Thread radio, a crucial piece of hardware for the future of the smart home. Thread is a low-power mesh network that offers a more reliable and faster connection for smart home devices compared to Wi-Fi. This inclusion future-proofs the phone, enabling it to directly control the growing number of Matter-compatible smart devices. Google’s commitment to seven years of software support for the new Pixel 10 series is bold, as the phone’s state-of-t

I’ve used the three Pixel 10 slab phones, and I’ll say this: Don’t judge a book by its cover

It’s hard to believe we are on the tenth generation of Pixel phones. Not only is it hard to believe because the OG Pixel launched nine years ago (seriously; I’m so old), but also because it’s so rare for Google to actually stick with any kind of product for that long. Regardless, here we are with the Google Pixel 10 series — and it might just be the company’s most important launch ever. I had the opportunity to go hands-on with all the devices launched at the 2025 Made by Google event, but here

The Pixel 10 is the first non-Pro model with a telephoto lens

This year, you don't have to splurge on a top-tier Pixel phone to get optical zoom. The camera bar on the standard Pixel 10 includes a 5x telephoto lens, a first for the series. Qi2 charging also comes to the series with Google's MagSafe-like Pixelsnap accessory ecosystem. The $799 handset is powered by the Tensor G5 chip, which powers new on-device AI features. Google says the Pixel 10's 48 MP 5x telephoto lens can produce 10x optical image quality. However, that's using a combination of optic

How to pre-order Google’s new Pixel 10 phones, Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a

The base Pixel 10 doesn’t look or feel all that different from last year’s Pixel 9 from afar, but it packs a few notable upgrades on the spec sheet. The big one is a new 10.8MP telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom, which should make the phone much more adept for portraits and shots of faraway objects. Previously, you had to buy a Pro model if you wanted a Pixel with a dedicated zoom lens. The catch is that the other two shooters in the triple-camera setup appear to be downgrades from the Pix

I'm a longtime iPhone user, but Google just sold me on the Pixel 10 with these features

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Google's PixelSnap is the biggest upgrade for me on the company's new phones. The $799 Pixel 10 now comes with a telephoto camera.

I'm a diehard Pixel fan, but I'm not upgrading to the Pixel 10. Here's why

Joseph Maldonado/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Google's new Pixel 10 isn't worth the upgrade for me. It comes down to cost, color, and lack of new killer features. Too much AI is also a deterrent. The new Pixel 10 is upon us, and, as usual, Google wants us all to upgrade. For many of us, trading in our current model for a discount on the newer version has become a yearly tradition. I've done it ever since Google adopted the trade-in policy, and it has served me well. However, this year is di

Show HN: Anchor Relay – A faster, easier way to get Let's Encrypt certificates

Anchor Relay excels when security and simplicity matter. You don't need to expose port 80 or forward HTTP - all certificate validation happens outbound. Configure DNS once up front rather than spreading API credentials everywhere. It works out of the box with tools like Certbot and integrates with tools like Caddy and cert-manager.

‘ReAnimator’ Celebrates Its 40th Anniversary With a Re-Release and Glowing Green Merch

Somehow it’s been 40 years since Stuart Gordon‘s H.G. Lovecraft-inspired Re-Animator hit theaters, boasting an instant-classic performance by Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Herbert West, Miskatonic University’s most unhinged medical student turned mad scientist. There’s splatter, there’s gore, there’s body horror, and there’s the most distressing severed head scene in the history of cinema. To mark the monumental anniversary of one of the most beloved cult classics ever, Re-Animator is returning to theate

Pixel 10 Phones Get an Added T-Mobile Perk: Expanded T-Satellite App Access

When T-Mobile officially launched its T-Satellite service in June, the Starlink-based service went live with the ability to send texts via satellite from most recent phones. The company also promised that starting in October, developers would be able to let their apps use the satellite network. T-Mobile broke that promise Wednesday -- but in a good way. The new Google Pixel 10 phones, which were announced Wednesday and begin shipping on Aug. 28, will be the first devices to include apps that ti

Should You Buy an iPhone 16 or iPhone 17? Here's How the Phones Might Compare

If you're looking to buy a new iPhone right now, you have two main choices: Buy an iPhone 16 right now, or wait a little longer and get Apple's next version, which is expected to make its debut in just a few weeks. What's the better route? With the anticipated launch of the iPhone 17 in September, it could be a good idea to hang tight and either buy the new phone or get the iPhone 16 at a discounted price. Apple still hasn't confirmed the existence of the iPhone 17, and we don't have any offici

Apple Is Making All Four iPhone 17 Models in India in a 'Watershed' Pivot From China, Report Says

Apple is manufacturing all four of its iPhone 17 models in India ahead of next month's launch, according to Bloomberg. That marks a first for the company, as it tries to mitigate the effects of President Donald Trump's tariffs on products produced in China. The production is taking place at five Indian factories. Tata Group is managing half of the manufacturing in new plants in the southern state Tamil Nadu and Taiwan's Foxconn will be manufacturing iPhones near the Bangalore airport. Apple di

What iPad mini and iPadOS 26 can teach us about the future of iOS

The moment Apple announced iPadOS 26 at WWDC, I rushed to install the developer beta on my M4 iPad Pro. And for the first time in years, it felt like Apple was finally putting iPad users first. We got features we’ve been asking for since iPadOS split from iOS: a fresh new look, Mac-like windowing, a smarter Files app, and more. But what surprised me wasn’t the iPad Pro experience. It was just how many iPads supported all of these features, including the iPad mini. After installing iPadOS 26 on

Former Gears of War and Diablo head Rod Fergusson is now in charge of BioShock

Rod Fergusson, the head of the Diablo franchise for the last five years, is joining 2K Games to lead up the BioShock franchise. This is happening just a couple of weeks after Fergusson announced he was leaving Blizzard. He was also the studio head at Coalition once upon a time, where he oversaw the Gears of War franchise. Fergusson wrote on X that he will be "overseeing development of the next BioShock game" and will even have a say in that upcoming film adaptation for Netflix. The franchise is

MacOS Tahoe vs. Sequoia: Here's How Liquid Glass Redesigns Your Mac's Icons

Apple's Liquid Glass software design language is bringing a new look to your Mac. Some of it you'll likely spot right away -- like the revamped menu bar, which will have a completely clear background. But other design changes coming in MacOS 26 Tahoe will be more subtle, to the point where you might almost miss them entirely. But they're worth hunting down. MacOS Tahoe is more than a design update. Functional changes include a smarter Spotlight search, new continuity features, live translation

It's the Economy, Donald

For months, the mantra inside the White House has been a MAGA version of “Keep calm and carry on.” President Donald Trump’s inner circle and more junior aides have embraced the term “No panicans”—specifically around tariffs—to signal there is no room to panic over, and certainly no room for dissent from, the president’s economic policies. The administration’s areas of focus—deporting immigrants whose labor powers key sectors like agriculture and construction, levying tariffs, and cutting social
