June 12, 2025 Solving LinkedIn Queens with SMT For sure easier than solving it in SAT! No newsletter next week I’ll be speaking at Systems Distributed. My talk isn't close to done yet, which is why this newsletter is both late and short. Solving LinkedIn Queens in SMT The article Modern SAT solvers: fast, neat and underused claims that SAT solvers are "criminally underused by the industry".

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET You may have noticed an odd little button that sometimes appears in your Chrome browser bar labeled "Google Lens." It's actually been there for a number of years now, although it doesn't always show up. But have you ever used it? Have you even given it a second thought? Or has it just become one more piece of digital clutter your brain edits out? We've covered Google Lens before on ZDNET. We've done so a number of times, in fact. But we've always covered it as a fe

One UI 8 beta 2 fixes Samsung’s supersized widgets

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-18 19:56:25

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s first One UI 8 beta allowed larger widgets (4×4) on the home screen, but the feature had inconsistent functionality. The second beta version resolves these issues, making resizing to the full widget size reliable and smooth. One UI 8 may not feel like a big update over One UI 7, but it is a big update for your home screen widgets, quite literally. Samsung lets users adjust the size of their home screen widgets to a maximum of three rows high, but

Your iPhone Is About to Change More Than Just the Liquid Glass Look in iOS 26

When iOS 26 shimmers into view this fall, the translucent new Liquid Glass interface overhaul won't be the only change to the iPhone.

The 5 best iOS 26 features I want Android to copy ASAP

Joe Maring / Android Authority Well, Apple has done it. After releasing iOS 18 in 2024, this year’s iPhone update jumps up by eight to iOS 26. Not only is the new name significant, but thanks to Apple’s new Liquid Glass redesign, it’s also one of the most drastic iOS updates we’ve seen in years. While I hope the whole Liquid Glass thing stays far, far away from Android, there are some elements of iOS 26 that I actually quite like.
