Survey shows people are deeply divided over Pixel battery issues

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-18 19:34:28

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Pixels are among the best Android phones money can buy, but if there’s one issue that keeps coming back to haunt them, it’s battery safety. We’ve seen battery overheating problems take down the Pixel 4a. The Pixel 6a took it further, and in one alarming case, it reportedly melted completely. More recently, Google acknowledged that a batch of Pixel 7a units was experiencing “unexpected” battery swelling. In response, Google pushes out software updates that re

Stanford Doctors Invent Device That Appears to Be Able to Save Tons of Stroke Patients Before They Die

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-18 11:45:17

Image by Andrew Brodhead Researchers have developed a novel device that literally spins away the clots that block blood flow to the brain and cause strokes. As Stanford explains in a blurb, the novel milli-spinner device may be able to save the lives of patients who experience "ischemic stroke" from brain stem clotting. Traditional clot removal, a process known as thrombectomy, generally uses a catheter that either vacuums up the blood blockage or uses a wire mesh to ensnare it — a procedure

Modifying an HDMI dummy plug's EDID using a Raspberry Pi

I recently found myself needing to change the monitor that a cheap HDMI “dummy plug” pretended to be. It was a random one I had bought on Amazon several years ago that acted as a 4K monitor, and I needed it to be something simpler that didn’t support a 4K resolution. The story behind why is a long one that I’m still figuring out and might eventually become a separate blog post in the future.
