gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-08-03 01:15:25

The list goes on, and, naturally, that very long list includes your wireless earbuds/headphones.

I Played ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ on Mac and It Feels Perilously Close to PC Gaming

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-08-03 02:30:24

Cyberpunk 2077 strode like a solo cyberninja onto MacBooks with the kind of swaggering bravado you’d expect from a chromed-up Night City merc. Knowing you can run CD Projekt Red’s graphically intense game, even if not at the peak ultra settings, is a mark of how well the device plays AAA titles. In case you missed it, Cyberpunk is now on Mac, and I’ve tested it on a plethora of Apple’s M-series laptops from the last few years. The good news is it’s playable, but for many Apple fans, this will be

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos is testing a CapCut button to help users edit Memories in the ByteDance-owned app. We spotted and were able to surface the button while conducting an APK teardown of the Google Photos Android app. The button only appears for Memories made up of photos and does not show up for a video-only memory.

TapTrap: Animation‑Driven Tapjacking on Android

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-03 00:55:19

TapTrap is a new type of attack targeting Android devices. It allows an app without any permissions to misuse screen animations. This app can secretly open another screen, such as a permission prompt, and make it invisible. The attack can then be used to trick you into performing sensitive actions, such as granting camera permissions or even erasing your device, without your consent. The idea is simple: imagine you’re using an app. While you use it, it opens another screen, such as a system pro
