Disney’s killing off the Hulu app, and that could be an expensive problem for you

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Disney is currently the sole owner of Hulu. While Disney has added Hulu content to Disney Plus, so far the apps have continued to exist separately. That’s set to change next year, as Disney shutters the Hulu app in favor of full Disney Plus integration. The streaming landscape is messy, to put things mildly. If we didn’t have enough conflict between services fighting over streaming rights, like the current acrimony between HBO Max and Paramount over

Instagram adds a reposts feed and rips off Snap Maps

Instagram is getting several new features that pull from competitors, and it’s updating a controversial feature that it added earlier this year. Starting today, users will have the ability to repost public Reels and grid posts from other accounts. And similar to TikTok, reposts will be collected in a designated tab on your profile and sprinkled into the feeds of people who follow you. It’s a small but meaningful shift from how Instagram currently operates: until now, the most efficient way to s

Ask HN: Do you struggle with flow state when using AI assisted coding tools?

Android may soon get its own version of Apple’s Hot Corners on Macs

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority TL;DR Google is developing a new ‘Action Corners’ feature for Android, which could be similar to ‘Hot Corners’ on macOS.

Poll: What do you think Android 17’s dessert codename will be?

Google has a fun tradition of codenaming Android versions after desserts in alphabetical order. In the early days of Android, these dessert codenames were part of the Android name/branding. However, with Android 10’s release in 2019, Google dropped the codename from the public name, even though it has continued to use the dessert codename internally. Android 15 is internally called Vanilla Ice Cream, whereas Android 16 is called Baklava. With Android 16 out for a while now, and Android 16 QPR1 a

The History and Physics of the Atomic Bomb

In 1938, Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, who had fled to New York to escape fascism, discovered a material in which a process of this type occurred: uranium. Fearing that the Nazis might also discover this element’s capability of producing a chain reaction, the Manhattan Project was born in 1940, a secret program for the development of nuclear weapons led by Arthur Compton. Compton formed a research group, which also included Fermi and Szilard, that would continue to conduct experiments on nucle
