Here’s why you can’t rate that system app in the Google Play Store

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-06 09:34:30

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Earlier this year, Google started working to implement minimalistic app listings for system services in the Play Store. These listings do not include a review section nor allow users to rate the apps. Users are now starting to see this new format for system services roll out widely. Should all app listings be created the same? At first glance, it might make sense to expect all app listings in the Play Store to have the same stuff: description, screensho

Getty Images/Zooey Liao/CNET Social Security payments can help you fund part of your retirement -- but don't bank on it as your only source of income. The Social Security trust fund is expected to dry up by 2034, according to the Social Security Administration. That's one year sooner than initially forecast. While the fund won't vanish completely, it's estimated that you'll only receive 81% of your benefits, at best. Why? The fund has been running out of money for years, but President Donald

CNET's key takeaways The LG G5 series is the best and brightest OLED I've ever tested in the CNET Labs. At $3,400 for the 65-inch size, it's expensive compared to some of the competition.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is uniquely situated on the Trek timeline, showing us adventures that unfurled not long before the original series. That means that there’s no avoiding having some familiar character names popping up, and with that, the built-in fun of seeing, say, an iconic figure like Spock be played in a younger iteration, with Ethan Peck stepping in for Leonard Nimoy.

Uranus Leaks More Heat Than We Thought

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-09-06 13:25:45

When Voyager 2 flew past Uranus in 1986, the spacecraft detected a surprisingly low level of internal heat from the planet. Since then, scientists believed Uranus to be the odd one out in our solar system’s family of giant planets—the others being Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune—who all tend to emit more heat than they absorb from sunlight. Now, a new study suggests that scientists may have had the wrong idea about Voyager 2’s data: Uranus does have an internal heat source similar to its planetary
