Poll: What do you think Android 17’s dessert codename will be?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-10 16:22:55

Google has a fun tradition of codenaming Android versions after desserts in alphabetical order. In the early days of Android, these dessert codenames were part of the Android name/branding. However, with Android 10’s release in 2019, Google dropped the codename from the public name, even though it has continued to use the dessert codename internally. Android 15 is internally called Vanilla Ice Cream, whereas Android 16 is called Baklava. With Android 16 out for a while now, and Android 16 QPR1 a

Wired Called Our AirGradient Monitor 'Not Recommended' over a Broken Display

Two weeks ago, I had what I can only describe as a punch-to-the-stomach moment (which luckily doesn’t happen very often). The AirGradient ONE - our monitor that was recognized in one of the world’s most rigorous scientific evaluations - suddenly became “Not Recommended” by WIRED magazine in their The Best Indoor Air Quality Monitors review.

Python performance myths and fairy tales [LWN subscriber-only content] Antonio Cuni, who is a longtime Python performance engineer and PyPy developer, gave a presentation at EuroPython 2025 about "Myths and fairy tales around Python performance" on the first day of the conference in Prague.
