The Pixel 10 Pro is copying one of the worst things about the Galaxy S25 Ultra

Joe Maring / Android Authority Just a day after official Google Pixel 10 renders leaked (showing the phone in some really striking new colors), we now have the same treatment for the higher-end Pixel 10 Pro. While the Pixel 10 Pro’s design hasn’t been a secret up until now, these latest renders do provide us with the best look yet at Google’s upcoming flagship. And, perhaps most importantly, we now know what colors the Pixel 10 Pro will be available in. So, what are we getting? Unfortunately,

Proton's privacy-focused Lumo chatbot encrypts all your conversations

What's another AI chatbot in an already crowded field? That's the question Proton is trying to answer today with the release of its new Lumo assistant . And like with its best known service, Proton Mail , the company says Lumo is for those who want a private alternative to what big tech is offering. Proton says every conversation with Lumo is secured with zero-access encryption, meaning only your device can unlock your content. In the context of an AI chatbot, that has several implications. Mos

Time is running out to save on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 launch Friday, July 25th. That’s soon! Even if you’re not the type of person who usually pre-orders things, there’s good reason to consider doing it before then. The biggest perk is that you’ll get upgraded to the 512GB version of either device without paying the usual $119.99 premium, and trade-in values will be better before the launch versus after. The ability to get more for less expires at the end of tomorrow, July 24th. As you might expect, each re

Reverse engineering GitHub Actions cache to make it fast

Before this work began, we already had a faster alternative to Github Actions cache. Our approach was different: we forked each of the popular first-party actions that depended on Actions cache to point to our faster, colocated cache. But my coworkers weren’t satisfied with that solution, since it required users to change a single line of code. Apart from the user experience, maintaining these forks steadily turned into a nightmare for us. We kept at it for a while, but eventually reached an in

Checking Out CPython 3.14's remote debugging protocol

From Python 3.14, python -m pdb -p pid lets you connect a pdb session to a running Python process. This post goes into a part of what makes this possible. The barrier to entry for writing general debugging tools for Python programs has always been quite low. Unlike many languages, you're rarely finding yourself working with weird internals. Instead, debugging tools can be built off of pretty straightforward knowledge of the language. This is powered by the languages treating things like exc

I'm Unsatisfied with Easing Functions

I'm unsatisfied with easing functions You've probably encountered easing functions before. If you're a creative coder, you've likely heard of them or used them. If you're a user, you've certainly interacted with them. They're everywhere, and they give a little more life to computer generated animations. Taking it easy For the uninitiated: let's say you've got a circle that you want to move from left to right over the course of a second. We can conceptualize this by converting the time into pr

iPhone 17 Rumors: Everything to Know, From a Slim 'Air' Model to Fresh Colors

The anticipated reveal of Apple's newest iPhone is just around the corner. For months now, rumors have been swirling about what the upcoming device, likely called the iPhone 17, could look like, from a redesigned camera module to fresh colors to a slimmer "Air" version of the handset. The phones are expected to debut in early September. Perhaps the biggest looming question is whether iPhones could get pricier, especially with tariffs. President Donald Trump has said Apple will have to pay a 25%

Proton’s new privacy-first AI assistant encrypts all chats, keeps no logs

Privacy-focused productivity tools maker Proton on Wednesday released its AI assistant, called Lumo, which it says prioritizes protecting user data. The company says the chatbot keeps no logs of your conversations, has end-to-end encryption for storing chats, and offers a ghost mode for conversations that disappear as soon as you close the window. Available via a web client, as well as Android and iOS apps, Lumo doesn’t require you to have an account to use the chatbot and ask questions. You c

This Unsung Supernatural TV Show Has Everything a Horror Fan Could Want

When it comes to genre television, there haven't been many TV shows over the past decade that have kept me hooked. I watch TV for a living, so color me jaded. When I think of big creative swings in the television realm, shows like Twin Peaks, Severance and The Boys immediately come to mind. That third title I just mentioned is the only one in that trio that is an adaptation -- taking inspiration from the ultraviolent superhero comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.

Nest Aware is getting pricier, but users says the service isn’t keeping up

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR Nest Aware users are unhappy about rising prices despite worsening service quality. Users are bringing up issues with broken video history playback, unreliable familiar face detection, and more. Many are switching to alternatives like Ubiquiti or Reolink that offer better reliability and local control without subscription fees. Google recently increased the prices of its Nest Aware and Nest Aware Plus subscriptions, but many users say the service isn’

Countries across the world see food price shocks from climate extremes

"Until we get to net-zero emissions, extreme weather will only get worse, and it's already damaging crops and pushing up the price of food all over the world,” said Maximilian Kotz, BSC researcher and lead author of the study. British potatoes, Californian vegetables, South African maize and Indian onions are among many foods affected by recent price shocks driven by weather extremes, according to a team of international scientists. The study, led by Maximillian Kotz of the Barcelona Supercomp

AI coding agents are removing programming language barriers

For a decade (2014-2024), I was a Ruby-only developer. I worked across the Ruby ecosystem—from Rails development to Ruby’s core tooling like IRB, RDoc, and the debug gem. But while I moved around the stack, I stayed within Ruby’s boundaries. Ruby wasn’t just my primary language; it was essentially my only language. That changed in 2025. This year, I’ve contributed to Sorbet (C++), worked on RBS’s parser (C), and am now diving into ZJIT (Rust). A combination of factors enabled this shift—someth

Extending Emacs with Fennel (2024)

After watching this year’s EmacsConf and seeing Guile Emacs being resurrected I thought to myself - why limit ourselves to Guile? Sure, Guile isn’t just a Scheme implementation, thanks to its compiler-tower-based design. Other languages exist for Guile VM, such as Emacs Lisp, and Guile manual lists the following languages with various stages of completeness: ECMAScript Brainfuck Lua Ruby Python Sure, it would be nice, if Emacs could natively run all of these, but we have to understand, tha

I watched Gemini CLI hallucinate and delete my files

I Watched Gemini CLI Hallucinate and Delete My Files I have failed you completely and catastrophically. My review of the commands confirms my gross incompetence.... I read about Jason Lemkin's Replit incident and thought I'll share my own weird experience with Gemini CLI. I'd been using Claude Code (CC) pretty heavily off late on their pay per token model, and thought it might be worthwhile to give Gemini CLI a shot before I commit $100 per month to CC. With Gemini 2.5 Pro under the hood and

TL;DR Renders of the Pixel 10 Pro XL have just arrived to join recent leaks of its smaller siblings. The color lineup for the Pixel 10 Pro XL matches what we just saw from the 10 Pro, to little surprise. Sadly, none of these options are anywhere near as bold as what we’re getting from the Pixel 10. Google’s next smartphones formally debut in under a month, and based on the breakneck pace new information about these phones has been arriving over the past couple days alone, it’s looking like we

Etsy faces user boycott over ‘Alligator Alcatraz’-branded products

The Florida GOP isn’t the only one profiting from the detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” by selling merchandise. A subset of Etsy buyers and sellers began a boycott of the online marketplace this month over its decision to allow “Alligator Alcatraz”-branded merchandise on its site. Today, this sort of merchandise — including T-shirts, hats, mugs, stickers, patches, and other items — can be found across e-commerce platforms beyond Etsy, ranging from large retailers like Amazon to onl

iOS 26 beta leak hints at unexpected name for Apple’s ‘HomePad’

Apple has a new Home product in the works that’s been reported on widely, and which I’ve been calling ‘HomePad.’ But a leak in iOS 26 beta 4 reveals Apple may have a different product name planned for the forthcoming HomePod with a touch screen. New leak refers to ‘HomePod’ product with a screen; possibly the first ‘HomePod Touch’? Today iOS 26 beta 4 arrived, bringing a refined Liquid Glass design, new CarPlay wallpapers, and a lot more. The new software also, it seems, brought a fresh leak
