Google just changed the search bar on my Pixel home screen, and I hate it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-15 00:30:44

Joe Maring / Android Authority One of my favorite things about Google’s Pixel phones is the persistent Google Search bar at the bottom of the home screen. It’s such a simple feature, but having that constant access to Google, and right by my thumb, is a huge convenience. Earlier this month, we reported that Google was getting ready to change that search bar by adding yet another shortcut to it — this time, one for Google AI Mode. That shortcut now appears to be widely rolling out to Pixel phon

3 tips I use every time I travel to avoid exorbitant roaming fees

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-15 02:00:01

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I still remember when my husband got slapped with an exorbitant €70 extra fee on his €10 basic mobile plan because he mistakenly went online for a few minutes during a layover in Turkey. Since then, avoiding roaming fees has been our personal crusade, especially since we like travelling and our basic local data plans have ridiculously expensive fees when we step outside of Europe.

On memes, mimetic desire, and why it's always that deep

When filmmaker and scholar Hito Steyerl wrote her manifesto “In Defense of the Poor Image” in 2009, internet memes were only in their infancy. But in the years since, the meme has become the dominant form of the poor image — “an illicit fifth-generation bastard of an original image.” Of the poor image, Steyerl wrote: Altogether, poor images present a snapshot of the affective condition of the crowd, its neurosis, paranoia, and fear, as well as its craving for intensity, fun, and distraction.

Unexpected security footguns in Go's parsers

In Go applications, parsing untrusted data creates a dangerous attack surface that’s routinely exploited in the wild.

Mathematicians Hunting Prime Numbers Discover Infinite New Pattern

For centuries, prime numbers have captured the imaginations of mathematicians, who continue to search for new patterns that help identify them and the way they’re distributed among other numbers. Primes are whole numbers that are greater than 1 and are divisible by only 1 and themselves. The three smallest prime numbers are 2, 3 and 5. It's easy to find out if small numbers are prime—one simply needs to check what numbers can factor them. When mathematicians consider large numbers, however, the
