With developer verification, I’m struggling to think of Android as a proper smartphone platform

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-28 15:20:25

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority When I first started using a smartphone, the choice between Android and iOS felt like an easy one. Sure, Apple had an attractive UI, and an early lead on third-party software support, but going the iPhone route meant living in Apple’s walled garden. And while there are absolutely benefits to that kind of approach, it just fundamentally felt wrong to me: I viewed smartphones as the next phase of general-purpose computers, and wasn’t interested in a platform loc

Samsung will unveil new phones and devices for its Galaxy line during a Sept. 4 virtual event. The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event is timed just ahead of the IFA 2025 conference, a consumer tech event held in Berlin. The invite references a new Galaxy Tab that is available to "reserve" ahead of the event, but it's unclear what the new tablet is or what features it'll have. Samsung also typically announces new FE devices in the fall, which means we could see a Galaxy S25 FE phone or a similar FE

Nvidia beats on top and bottom lines. Here's why the stock is falling

cnbc.com Kif Leswing 2025-10-29 19:59:02

Nvidia reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue on Wednesday, and said sales growth this quarter will remain above 50%, signaling to Wall Street that demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure shows no sign of fading. The stock, which is up 35% this year after almost tripling in 2024, slipped in extended trading as data center revenue came up short of estimates for the second straight period.

The New ‘Toxic Avenger’ Is Helping Avenge Real-World Health Care Debt

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-30 03:30:11

The new Toxic Avenger finally hits theaters this week after a few years’ delay, and while audiences are in for a wild ride with the movie’s hilariously gross tale of mutation and redemption, the movie does also tackle more serious themes. A big moment comes early on when Peter Dinklage’s character—Winston Gooze, before he becomes Toxie—learns his expensive health insurance won’t cover his life-or-death medical treatment.

Google to verify all Android devs to protect users from malware

Google is introducing a new defense for Android called ‘Developer Verification’ to block malware installations from sideloaded apps sourced from outside the official Google Play app store. For apps on Google Play, there was already a requirement for publishers to provide a D-U-N-S (Data Universal Numbering System) number, introduced on August 31, 2023.

Implementing Forth in Go and C

I first ran into Forth about 20 years ago when reading a book about designing embedded hardware.

Over the last two decades I heard about Forth a few more times here and there, such as that time when Factor was talked about for a brief period, maybe 10-12 years ago or so.

Emergency help for low blood sugar

Most people with type 1 diabetes inject insulin to prevent their blood sugar levels from getting too high. However, if their blood sugar gets too low, it can lead to confusion, seizures, and even death. To combat this hypoglycemia, some patients carry syringes of glucagon, a hormone that stimulates release of glucose.
