Google Says the Open Web Is Now in "Rapid Decline"

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-03 07:17:29

In a major change in tune, Google has admitted that the "open web is already in rapid decline" — despite being adamant for months that the "web is thriving." As first spotted by The Verge, the tech giant attempted to dissuade regulators from breaking up its advertising tech business, arguing that doing so would harm publishers who rely on advertising revenue. Google argued that splitting up its ad business would "only accelerate" the open web's disintegration ahead of an antitrust trial in a D

Android 16 QPR1’s source code is nowhere to be found, but Google swears it’s coming

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-03 09:29:04

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has delayed releasing the source code for Android 16 QPR1, worrying custom ROM developers who rely on timely AOSP (Android Open Source Project) updates. While Google typically publishes source code within 48 hours of a new release, it has been a week, breaking a long-standing precedent for the community. Google confirmed the code is coming “in the coming weeks,” but the situation has reignited concerns about the company’s commitment to open-sour

One of Google’s new Pixel 10 AI features has already been removed

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-03 12:00:41

Google is one of the most ardent proponents of generative AI technology, as evidenced by the recent launch of the Pixel 10 series. The phones were announced with more than 20 new AI experiences, according to Google. However, one of them is already being pulled from the company's phones. If you go looking for your Daily Hub, you may be disappointed. Not that disappointed, though, as it has been pulled because it didn't do very much. Many of Google's new AI features only make themselves known in

Google Doesn't Rank My Site for My Own Brand Name

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-03 16:15:14

I run a small business in Canada. Oddly, if you search my brand name, my own site doesn’t show up at all on the first page. Instead, Facebook, Instagram, and random sites that link to me outrank me. I’ve submitted my sitemap to GSC, checked indexing, and built branded backlinks—but Google still ignores my homepage. It’s bad because people looking for me are funneled into other platforms where I lose control of the user journey. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this Google punishing small/n

Replit hits $3B valuation on $150 million annualized revenue

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-10-04 00:54:48

Replit has raised a $250 million round, valuing the company at $3 billion. Unlike other fast-growing vibe coders, Replit has not been running to VCs every few months, though we’ll see if that changes. Its last raise was in 2023 when it raised about $100 million that valued the company at $1.16 billion post-money. Replit has now raised a total of about $478 million, PitchBook estimates. The company, founded in 2016 by programmers Amjad Masad (pictured), Faris Masad, and designer Haya Odeh, says

I love the Pixel 10, but I wish it had these 5 features

I’m what you might call the “Pixel guy” around here. When the Google Pixel 10 series launched, I was, as you can imagine, pretty excited. And for good reason! These are fantastic phones. From the standard Pixel 10 to the Pixel 10 Pro XL and even to the outrageously expensive Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google has delivered a lineup that is refined, intelligent, and a joy to use. I’ve already bought the Pixel 10 Pro, and I have a strong feeling it will be my pick for the best phone of 2025. But as much a

A referral code provides a 10% discount on a new Pixel phone for the buyer and gives the referrer a $50 store credit. The credits and discounts are valid until February 28, 2026, and can be stacked with other offers, with some exceptions. Google relaunched the Pixel Referral Program last year for the Pixel 9 series.

Google’s Daily Hub vs. Samsung’s Now Brief: Let’s go back to the drawing board

How eSIMs Work, and How to Switch to One From a Standard SIM

wired.com David Nield 2025-10-05 01:00:00

The physical SIM cards we've used for decades are slowly being phased out. With the Pixel 10 series, Google's phones have gone eSIM-only for the first time—at least if you buy them in the US. Apple made the same move with the iPhone 14 in 2022, and now its new iPhone 17 models will operate with eSIMs in a dozen countries, with the slim iPhone Air going eSIM-only everywhere in the world. But how is eSIM different, and what do you need to do to switch? The good news is that by most measures, eSI
