Google is making it easier to hide sensitive files in your Pixel’s Private Space

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is making it simpler to move sensitive files into Private Space, the built-in feature on Pixel devices for hiding apps and data. While the tool has always made it straightforward to add apps to the profile, adding files has been less intuitive. An upcoming update adds a new “Add files” option that lets you directly copy or move files from your main profile into the Private Space.

More is less: I can’t make myself use Nothing’s Glyph Matrix

Nothing’s original Glyph Interface was the perfect level of gimmick — it added a bit of flair to the back of its first few phones, but always felt like it had a purpose. I trusted it for everything from following the charge of my battery to watching for an incoming phone call, and it was one cool thing I could always show off to my iPhone-toting friends.

Perfecting anti-aliasing on signed distance functions

← index Doing anti-aliasing on SDF is not as straightforward as it seems. Most of the time, we see people use a smoothstep with hardcoded constants, sometimes with screen space information, sometimes cryptic or convoluted formulas. Even if SDFs have the perfect mathematical properties needed for a clean anti-aliasing, the whole issue has a scope larger than it appears at first glance.
