Google Pixels are no longer the AOSP reference device

news.ycombinator.com Abner Li 2026-03-21 17:53:08

With the launch of Android 16 earlier this week, Google did not release the Pixel hardware repos and device trees that are particularly important for custom ROM developers. This led to speculation by some that “AOSP is being discontinued.” Google has denied that, but the Pixel change does look to be intentional. On Tuesday, Google released Android 16’s source code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). However, the Pixel device trees and other code used to adapt the AOSP release to specific

After 18 Years, Apple Is Killing Its 9-Minute Snooze—That Can Only Mean One Thing

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-03-21 18:45:14

For years, it’s always been nine more measly minutes. If you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, you’ve probably never owned an iPhone, or you’re one of those freaks who wakes up without a device screaming in your face to do so. If you are in one of those camps, let me explain: for 18 years, Apple has maintained a vice grip on its alarm snooze feature, which grants nine more minutes to your alarm. No more, no less. Just nine minutes. And there’s no adjusting that in settings. No adjusti

Your iPad is your new computer

After its WWDC 2025 event, Apple described its upcoming iPadOS 26 update as “the biggest iPadOS release ever.” This doesn’t seem like it’s just a self-aggrandizing exaggeration, though — iPadOS 26 could actually change the way we think about the utility of a fifteen-year-old product that has long felt like an oversized iPhone designed for a cyclops. The new OS brings us multi-tasking tools, a new windowing system, and the Preview app, which may not sound as alluring as “Liquid Glass.” But if yo

You can often find the Ace discounted for up to $120 off their original price, and if you're interested in them, that's the best time to buy them.
