Android 16 QPR1’s source code is nowhere to be found, but Google swears it’s coming

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has delayed releasing the source code for Android 16 QPR1, worrying custom ROM developers who rely on timely AOSP (Android Open Source Project) updates. While Google typically publishes source code within 48 hours of a new release, it has been a week, breaking a long-standing precedent for the community. Google confirmed the code is coming “in the coming weeks,” but the situation has reignited concerns about the company’s commitment to open-sour

The best battery life iPhone 17 Pro models are not sold in every country

At Apple’s event yesterday, battery life was one of the big marketing points for the iPhone 17 Pro series. However, it turns out that the best battery life models of the Pro and Pro Max are not actually available to buy worldwide. In the United States, Apple quotes 30 hours streaming video playback for iPhone 17 Pro and 35 hours for iPhone 17 Pro Max. But in the UK, Europe, and elsewhere, the tech specs list battery life of 28 hours and 33 hours respectively, two hours less than their US model

Seven iPhone Air details you might’ve missed during yesterday’s keynote

Yesterday, Apple unveiled its brand new ultra-thin iPhone Air. While they did show off much about the phone in the keynote, there are a number of smaller details you can only find by digging into the website. We’ll be rounding those up here. Binned A19 Pro chip Despite the iPhone Air offering the ‘same’ A19 Pro chip as the iPhone 17 Pro, that isn’t quite the case. iPhone 17 Pro’s A19 Pro chip offers a 6 core CPU and 6 core GPU, whereas the iPhone Air offers a 6 core CPU and 5 core GPU.

iPhone 17 has long-awaited fix for OLED screen flickering problem

Have you ever heard of PWM (pulse width modulation)? Even if you haven’t, this screen flickering issue still might impact you. But iPhone 17 looks like it will bring a long-awaited PWM fix. PWM can be disabled on iPhone 17 models I had never heard the term PWM before today, but as I learned by visiting the ‘PWM Sensitive’ subreddit—which has 16k weekly visitors—it’s a fairly widespread issue, and has been for years. Pulse width modulation is a tactic used by smartphones when brightness is red

Apple acknowledges iPhone Camera Control is overly complicated with iOS 26 change

I absolutely love the Camera Control on my iPhone — just not in its default state. With the final version of iOS 26, Apple is taking the first step toward pulling back the overly complex Camera Control with one simple change. Camera Control is a highly requested feature iPhone users have wanted physical camera buttons since at least the iPhone 4 in 2010. That’s why Apple added the ability to use the volume buttons to snap photos in the Camera app way back then. More recently, Apple brought th

Reddit, Yahoo, Medium and more are adopting a new licensing standard to get compensated for AI scraping

With web publishers in crisis, a new open standard lets them set the ground rules for AI scrapers. (Or, at least it will try.) The new Really Simple Licensing (RSL) standard creates terms that participants expect AI companies to abide by. Although enforcement is an open question, it can't hurt that some heavy hitters back it. Among others, the list includes Reddit, Yahoo (Engadget's parent company), Medium and People Inc. RSL adds licensing terms to the robots.txt protocol, the simple file that

A closer look at the AirPods Pro 3: ANC, Live Translation and heart-rate tracking

The AirPods Pro 3 are a big upgrade over the AirPods Pro 2. Even though Apple has continuously added new features to those earbuds over the last three years, it hasn’t changed the design or shape of the earbuds since the first model arrived in 2019. With the AirPods Pro 3, you might not notice those tweaks until you remove the new ear tips, and the most impactful upgrades are all on the inside. After my brief hands-on immediately following the iPhone 17 launch yesterday, I’ve since spent more ti

Sony is rolling out a PlayStation parental controls mobile app

Sony is finally catching up to something Nintendo and Microsoft have had for years. The new PlayStation Family app mainly serves as a mobile extension of on-console parental controls. However, parents also get a few extra perks in the mobile version. The app includes a "thoughtfully guided" onboarding process. (I imagine many people will prefer their phone or tablet over the console for that.) Once things are set up, parents can do everything they already could on the console. This includes set

Bronze Age Britons Threw Massive Ragers With Food and Friends From Far Away

You can learn a lot about people by studying their trash, including populations that lived thousands of years ago. In what the team calls the “largest study of its kind,” researchers applied this principle to Britain’s iconic middens, or giant prehistoric trash (excuse me, rubbish) piles. Their analysis revealed that at the end of the Bronze Age (2,300 to 800 BCE), people—and their animals—traveled from far to feast together. “At a time of climatic and economic instability, people in southern

AirPods Pro 3 vs. Pixel Buds Pro 2: Which Wireless Earbuds Are Better?

Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 are here, and with their arrival comes a lot of questions. One of the big questions after Apple’s annual iPhone event is, “Should I buy new AirPods right now?” But before you can answer that, it’s important to know the competition, and the main one is Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2. While both bear the “Pro” moniker in their names, they’re not created equal, and small differences in features could have a big impact on which pair you ought to buy. If you’re wondering which trigg

Everything Announced at Apple Event 2025: iPhone Air, iPhone 17, AirPods Pro 3 and New Apple Watches

Each September, Apple's product release playbook dials up the unveiling of the company's newest line of iPhones, along with a variety of complementary gadgets. On Tuesday, the company took the wraps off the iPhone 17 in all its variations, most notably the new skinny iPhone Air, along with new Apple Watches -- Series 11 and Ultra 3 -- and an upgrade to its 2-year-old AirPods Pro 2 earbuds. Along with the hardware, Apple is rolling out the new versions of the devices' respective operating system

One of Google’s new Pixel 10 AI features has already been removed

Google is one of the most ardent proponents of generative AI technology, as evidenced by the recent launch of the Pixel 10 series. The phones were announced with more than 20 new AI experiences, according to Google. However, one of them is already being pulled from the company's phones. If you go looking for your Daily Hub, you may be disappointed. Not that disappointed, though, as it has been pulled because it didn't do very much. Many of Google's new AI features only make themselves known in

Senator blasts Microsoft for making default Windows vulnerable to “Kerberoasting”

A prominent US Senator has called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Microsoft for “gross cybersecurity negligence,” citing the company’s continued use of an obsolete and vulnerable form of encryption that Windows uses by default. In a letter to FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Sen. Ron Wyden (D–Ore.) said an investigation his office conducted into the 2024 ransomware breach of the health care giant Ascension found that default use of the RC4 encryption cipher was a direct cause. The b

OpenAI and Oracle reportedly ink historic cloud computing deal

In Brief Oracle sent its shares soaring after markets closed yesterday after reporting that it signed multiple multi-billion-dollar contracts with several customers. Now, we have an idea of who those customers might be. Oracle signed a deal with OpenAI for the AI company to purchase $300 billion worth of compute power over a span of about five years, according to reporting from the Wall Street Journal. OpenAI would start purchasing this compute in 2027. If the WSJ’s reporting is correct, this

Klarna’s IPO pops, raising $1.4B, with Sequoia as the biggest winner

It’s been a long road for the 20-year-old fintech Klarna to make it to an IPO. But on Wednesday, the company successfully landed on the New York Stock Exchange, having raised $1.4 billion, largely for its existing investors, rather than itself. The fintech giant sold shares at $40, above its announced range of $35 to $37, and came out of the gate with a $15 billion valuation. Shares popped, opening at $52, though quickly settling down to around $46 mid-day. Of the 34.3 million shares Klarna so

Anti-AGI Protester Now on Day Nine of Hunger Strike in Front of Anthropic Headquarters

Artificial general intelligence, the prospect of a synthetic entity meeting or exceeding the cognitive power of a human, is a polarizing topic. For some, like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, it's a mission statement — the lodestar guiding the company's $300 billion operations. For others, like activist and organizer Guido Reichstadter, it's an existential threat to be resisted at any cost. Reichstader is now on day nine of a grueling anti-AGI hunger strike in front of the San Francisco headquarters of

Microsoft waives fees for Windows devs publishing to Microsoft Store

Microsoft announced that, starting today, individual Windows developers will no longer have to pay for publishing their applications on the Microsoft Store. The company said that developers can now submit Win32 (including .NET WPF and WinForms), UWP, PWA, .NET MAUI, or Electron apps to the Microsoft Store without paying any registration fees. Redmond will also handle each app's hosting and signing, eliminating the need for developers to pay for these services. "Package your app as an MSIX and

CPU Utilization is Wrong (2017)

The metric we all use for CPU utilization is deeply misleading, and getting worse every year. What is CPU utilization? How busy your processors are? No, that's not what it measures. Yes, I'm talking about the "%CPU" metric used everywhere, by everyone. In every performance monitoring product. In top(1). What you may think 90% CPU utilization means: What it might really mean: Stalled means the processor was not making forward progress with instructions, and usually happens because it is waitin

Insufficiently sanitized data allows unauthenticated access to FreePBX Admin

We’re back - it’s a day, in a month, in a year - and once again, something has happened. In this week’s episode of “the Internet is made of string and there is literally no evidence to suggest otherwise”, we present even further evidence that as a species we made a fairly painful mistake when we discovered electricity - and it just got worse and worse. Today, inside this hellscape we call the Internet, a mean person has discovered a zero-day(s) in FreePBX (now lovingly called CVE-2025-57819).

Was Your Dog Harder to Train During the Pandemic? Science Says You’re Not Alone

Lockdown during the covid pandemic was hard on everyone, including our dogs. New research out today suggests dogs were harder to train in the years following 2020 but became more teachable as restrictions loosened. A study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One analyzed owner-reported behavioral data for more than 47,000 companion dogs during and immediately after the covid-19 pandemic. The researchers looked for trends in fear, attention, aggression, and trainability, finding that average

‘Here We Go!’: Trump Weighs in After Russian Drones Shot Down Over Poland

NATO fighter jets shot down at least three Russian drones in Polish airspace overnight after more than a dozen entered its eastern border, according to several reports. It was a historic action, the first time that NATO forces have shot down a Russian aircraft in a NATO country. But President Donald Trump didn’t offer much clarity about what the U.S. plans to do about it, writing a confusing Truth Social post on Wednesday that could be read several different ways. “What’s with Russia violating

Developers joke about “coding like cavemen” as AI service suffers major outage

On Wednesday afternoon, Anthropic experienced a brief but complete service outage that took down its AI infrastructure, leaving developers unable to access Claude.ai, the API, Claude Code, or the management console for around half an hour. The outage affected all three of Anthropic's main services simultaneously, with the company posting at 12:28 pm Eastern that "APIs, Console, and Claude.ai are down. Services will be restored as soon as possible." As of press time, the services appear to be res

3 Exciting Camera Features on Apple’s New iPhone 17 Lineup

In the early days of the smartphone, Apple had a strong lead with the camera on the iPhone consistently besting its peers. There was a period somewhere in the middle where it lagged, but over the last several years, it has produced some of the best mobile cameras on the market, and it still delivers one of the best video capture experiences—even for aspiring filmmakers. With the new iPhone 17 range—which includes the iPhone Air—Apple has a bevy of camera upgrades that go beyond more megapixels

Our Favorite Earbuds for Working Out Are Cheaper Than Ever

Beats has been a household name in headphones for years, known for punchy bass and bold styling. The Powerbeats Pro 2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) use ergonomic over-ear hooks to stay absolutely secure in your ears when you're running, lifting, or just walking the dog. They're usually a little expensive at $250, but Amazon has them marked down to just $200 in a variety of colors. While ear hooks might sound a little odd coming from the world of more traditional wireless earbuds, there's no need to

SpaceX Targets an Orbital Starship Flight with a Next-Gen Vehicle in 2026

It has been two weeks since SpaceX’s last Starship test flight, and engineers have diagnosed issues with its heat shield, identified improvements, and developed a preliminary plan for the next time the ship heads into space. Bill Gerstenmaier, a SpaceX executive in charge of build and flight reliability, presented the findings Monday at the American Astronautical Society’s Glenn Space Technology Symposium in Cleveland. The rocket lifted off on August 26 from SpaceX’s launch pad in Starbase, Te
