Google's Pixel 10 may get magnetic Qi2 charging after all

Google's upcoming Pixel 10 may support wireless Qi2 charging natively (without a case), which would make it the first Pixel model and one of the few Android phones to do so. A new image from mega-leaker Evan Blass shows a Qi2 charger attached to the back of a naked Pixel 10 device, meaning it likely has the magnets required to support the fast-charging system. Rumors bubbled up last month that Google was working on a new lineup of "Pixelsnap" Qi2 accessories, leading to speculation that the Pix

Most developers use AI in their daily workflows - but they don't trust it, study finds

fotograzia/Getty Images Programmers are using AI more than ever, but they don't like or trust the tools very much, according to the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey. The survey of almost 50,000 developers found that 84% now use or plan to use AI tools in their workflow, up from last year (76%). Over half of professional developers (51%) use these tools daily. Also: The best AI for coding in 2025 (and what not to use) Such figures might suggest that programmers must love AI. However, only

Tesla picks LGES, not CATL, for $4.3 billion storage battery deal

Tesla has a new battery cell supplier. Although the automaker is vertically integrated to a degree not seen in the automotive industry for decades, when it comes to battery cells it’s mostly dependent upon suppliers. Panasonic cells can be found in many Teslas, with the cheaper, sturdier lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells being supplied by CATL. Now Tesla has a new source of LFP cells thanks to a deal just signed with LG Energy Solutions. According to The Korea Economic Daily, the contr

Psychedelic Therapy Crashed and Burned. MAHA Might Bring It Back

This was supposed to be the year of the MDMA revolution. About this time last year, prescription MDMA looked like a sure thing. After decades of clinical research, political wrangling, and aggressive promotion, the popular underground club drug was set to be tamed and medicalized, with a stamp of approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. Then, it wasn’t. In a stark change of course, the FDA rejected the MDMA therapy it had been considering by a 10-1 vote. The decision derailed psyched

Galaxy S26 is dead, long live S26 Pro: Another leak points to Samsung’s flagship shakeup

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR We previously found code evidence within One UI 8 suggesting that Samsung’s next flagship lineup could consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, GSMA listings for the base Galaxy S26 contradicted this finding. Previously listed as “Galaxy S26,” updated GSMA listings were spotted for SM-S942, which now list the same model number as the “Galaxy S26 Pro.” This corroborates our previous finding and suggests that the Galaxy

The best mobile microphones for 2025

There’s nothing more frustrating than shooting the perfect reel only to realize that the audio sounds like garbage. For budding creators, it’s a frustration; for those looking to make more professional content, it’s a dealbreaker. Fortunately, the world of mobile-specific (or phone-friendly) microphones has exploded with great options in the last few years. Whether you’ve been tasked with recording candid moments at a relative’s wedding, shooting a friend’s dance moves or are a journalist out in

Pkgbase Removes FreeBSD Base System Feature

Hi, after short discussion here: - https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2485 I got REALLY concerned. One of THE features and selling points of a FreeBSD UNIX system is the 'untouchable' Base System. Without PKGBASE all the features are preserved. But when You convert to PKGBASE its ... GONE! Consider this command: # pkg delete -af What it does? It removes all third party packages on 'classic' FreeBSD system without touching the FreeBSD Base System. What the same "pkg delete -af" command does on

Your Pixel Watch could soon give you the same backup freedom as your Android phone (APK teardown)

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority A man pressed the digital crown of his Google Pixel Watch 3. TL;DR Google could soon let Pixel Watch users manually trigger backups. We’ve found code evidence suggesting Pixel Watches could soon get a “Backup now” button in Settings, possibly removing the current requirement of having the watch connected to a charger during the backup process. The option is similar to the Backup now setting you find on Android phones. Google seems to be working towards maki

“It’s shocking”: Massive raw milk outbreak from 2023 finally reported

On October 20, 2023, health officials in the County of San Diego, California, put out a press release warning of a Salmonella outbreak linked to raw (unpasteurized) milk. Such an outbreak is not particularly surprising; the reason the vast majority of milk is pasteurized (heated briefly to kill germs) is because milk can easily pick up nasty pathogens in the farmyard that can cause severe illnesses, particularly in children. It's the reason public health officials have long and strongly warned a

Sony officially unveils FlexStrike wireless fight stick for PlayStation and PC

Highly anticipated: The FlexStrike wireless fight stick includes round, octagonal, and square interchangeable restrictor gates. So if you want to pause Street Fighter 6 for some Pac-Man, you can easily snap in the square gate without tools. For portability, the base's bottom pops off to reveal storage for the gates, USB cable (included), and the new PS Link USB adapter. It also comes with a nice sling carrying case for travel or storage. During last month's State of Play, Sony unveiled Project

Pixel 10 leak hints it’s getting the magnetic Qi2 charging you’ve been waiting for

TL;DR A leak has provided new renders and details about the Pixel 10 series and some of its accessories. One of the renders shows a caseless Pixel 10 with a Qi2 charger attached. This would suggest that the Pixel 10 series will have magnets built in. With all of the Pixel 10 leaks that have surfaced in the last couple of weeks, you would think that there wouldn’t be anything left to spoil. But it turns out that belief was wrong. Another leak has popped up, and it appears to support the existe

Placing Functions

placing functions — 2025-07-08 What are placing functions? About a year ago I observed that in-place construction seems surprisingly simple. By separating the creating of the place in memory from writing the value to memory, it’s not that hard to see how we can turn that into a language feature. So about six months ago, that’s what I went ahead and did and created the placing crate: a proc-macro-based prototype for “placing functions”. Placing functions are functions whose return type is con

RIP Shunsaku Tamiya, the man who made plastic model kits a global obsession

Shunsaku Tamiya, former president and chairman of Tamiya, Inc., passed away on July 18. His death was announced on July 21, with funeral services attended by close family and friends. Mr Tamiya led the transformation of Tamiya into a world-renowned manufacturer of high-precision plastic model kits, radio control vehicles, and motorized Mini 4WD racers. He joined the company founded by his father originally as a transport firm, and switched to supplying lumber after the war. That brought about

AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents

On Monday, Mayor Patrick Collins of Cheyenne, Wyoming, announced plans for an AI data center that would consume more electricity than all homes in the state combined, according to the Associated Press. The facility, a joint venture between energy infrastructure company Tallgrass and AI data center developer Crusoe, would start at 1.8 gigawatts and scale up to 10 gigawatts of power use. The project's energy demands are difficult to overstate for Wyoming, the least populous US state. The initial

Sony reveals more about its first-party PC-compatible PS5 fight stick, "FlexStrike"

Highly anticipated: During last month's State of Play, Sony unveiled Project Defiant – a custom-designed fight stick featuring toolless interchangeable restrictor gates, mechanical switches, and a touchpad. At the time, details were scant, but today Sony revealed a few more tidbits about the product, including its official name. The FlexStrike wireless fight stick includes round, octagonal, and square interchangeable restrictor gates. So if you want to pause Street Fighter 6 for some Pac-Man, y

Linux 6.16: faster file systems, improved confidential memory, more Rust support

herraez/Getty Images The changes in the latest Linux kernel, Linux 6.16, may be small, but they include some significant ones. Linus Torvalds himself summed up this release as looking fine, small, and calm, but not "really not all that interesting (in all the best ways!)." Here's my list of what's new and improved. First, the Rust language is continuing to become more well-integrated into the kernel. At the top of my list is that the kernel now boasts Rust bindings for the driver core and PCI

Delta Engineered a Pricing System That Sorts You by Economic Value

Delta's New AI-Powered Pricing Strategy Delta Air Lines is embarking on a bold experiment in airfare pricing. At a recent investor presentation, the airline announced plans to expand its use of artificial intelligence for setting ticket prices to cover 20% of its U.S. domestic flights by the end of 2025. This move comes after limited tests last year (affecting ~1% of fares) and a current rollout on about 3% of tickets, with early results described as "amazingly favorable" for revenue. Delta is
