news.ycombinator.com Callum Booth 2026-01-26 08:00:55

The Online Safety Act recently rolled out in the UK and you’ll be very happy to hear it’s a raging dumpster fire. But this newsletter isn’t about that per se. Instead, in this poorly-considered mire, there’s a kernel of truth, a little glowing nugget that reveals what’s wrong with much technology regulation. Before we get to this little-discussed point, let’s cut up some context into bite-sized chunks and have a good old gobble. So, the Online Safety Act 2023. Theoretically it’s a Pretty Good

Google Messages will finally tell you when your custom ROM is the problem (APK teardown)

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Last year, Google began preventing devices that failed Play Integrity checks from sending RCS messages. Google Messages would simply drop texts, without delivering any errors or warnings. Messages now appears to be adding an explicit notice when security requirements are not met.

Samsung’s 60W Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade is exciting, but I have concerns

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-26 17:00:28

As a proponent of fast charging convenience, the report that Samsung will increase the power of next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra to 60W is music to my ears. The current 45W power level is already in a sweet spot, taking just under an hour to fully charge the phone. Still, that extra boost will undoubtedly come in handy when you need to bring the phone back from the brink quickly. More juice in fewer minutes is always welcome when you’re in a hurry.
