engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-06 04:58:07

The lawsuit centered on the company's Auto Blocker feature, which only allows apps to be installed from the Google Play Store and Samsung Galaxy Store. Epic claimed this made it difficult for potential customers to

Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, participated in a press conference Monday with local officials to discuss the severe flooding that’s killed at least 90 people in the state, including children at an all-girls summer camp, with dozens of people still missing.

Samsung and Epic Games call a truce in app store lawsuit

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-06 15:10:14

Epic Games, buoyed by the massive success of Fortnite, has spent the last few years throwing elbows in the mobile industry to get its app store on more phones. It scored an antitrust win against Google in late 2023, and the following year it went after Samsung for deploying "Auto Blocker" on its Android phones, which would make it harder for users to install the Epic Games Store. Now, the parties have settled the case just days before Samsung will unveil its latest phones. The Epic Store drama

Why are there no good dinosaur films?

“Because the movie delivers on the bottom line, I’m giving it three stars. You want great dinosaurs, you got great dinosaurs.” -Roger Ebert In Steve Brusatte’s non-fiction book The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, the self-described Jurassic Park fanatic discusses the ways that Spielberg and co. failed the reality of the T. rex. Brusatte writes that while a Tyrannasaur could indeed run quite fast, adults couldn’t move as quickly as their young. Therefore, an adult wouldn’t be able to speed up en

The 8 Best Travel Pillows (2025), Tested on Planes

I’m sorry, but I find this travel pillow hideous. It’s just so big and dorky. But damn if it isn’t effective. It’s actually really comfortable. It’s sort of like a scarf that you wrap around your neck, with a built-in frame that cradles your head securely and comfortably. The scarf part is nice and made of soft fleece, similar to other travel scarves or blankets. The hook-and-loop attachment point isn’t too loud when you adjust it, so you won’t disturb your neighbors.

It’s only been a few months since the release of the Pixel 9a, but that’s not going to stop leakers from going after its successor.

At 6,100 BTU cooling capacity, the Wave 3 is designed for a car, RV, tent, boat, or any space that might be either temporary or off the grid. The Wave 3 also has a slightly higher 6,800 BTU heat mode. I have a van and and a dog, so for me, the Wave 3 offers a specific type of assurance on hot or cold days.

Some people kayak, travel or play guitar - and I stare at assembly, trying to figure out what I broke. This summer, I am taking on quite a large task: bootstrapping the Rust compiler using `cg_gcc` What does that mean? "bootstrapping" is simply a name given to the Rust compiler build process.
