Google just forced some Pixel 4a holdouts to finally install their battery-nerfing update

David Imel / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s been dealing with the fallout of bad batteries on the Pixel 4a and Pixel 6a. So far, that’s involved updates that limit charging capacity after a certain number of cycles. While there was a trick to avoid that update on the Pixel 4a, Google seems to have closed the loophole. This year, Google has found itself forced to confront and deal with an awkward problem that’s been casting a shadow across its otherwise largely well-received Pixel smartphon

Filmmakers love to tinker with their movies until the last possible second.

Faraday Future is back with another wild EV that probably will never get made

Ask anyone who’s familiar with EV startups what Faraday Future is, and words like vaporware or severely delayed might come to mind. That’s because, in the brand’s 11-year existence, it has seemingly overpromised and under-delivered on nearly everything it has ever announced.

What Will Become of the CIA?

In December, 1988, as the Soviet Union was beginning to come apart, Senator Bill Bradley, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, convened a closed-door hearing with several of the C.I.A.’s top Soviet experts. These were analysts, not operatives. They did not run spies or weapons, or shoot poisoned darts at people; mostly, they sat at their desks at Langley, reading Pravda or studying photographs of Soviet military parades.

This visualization sheds light on the complex eigenvalues of real matrices. Let’s start by expanding the equation $x^2+(y+zi)^2 = 1$ and separating it into real and imaginary parts.
