Android Auto could rollback one controversial change but introduce another (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-29 20:07:07

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google could reverse an Android Auto UI change that has upset many users. Instead of using colors from your phone’s wallpaper, Android Auto’s media player could use the album art as the background once again. However, while testing this reversal, Google appears to have messed up another visual aspect in Android Auto. Last month, Google began testing a simpler Material You-based interface for Android Auto, featuring background colors that match your phone

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority For as nice as it can be to feel safe and sound by wrapping your expensive new smartphone tightly in a protective case, there’s also a lot to be said for living a little dangerously and showing off the actual hardware — especially when it’s available in some really appealing colors. That’s just we got this year from the Pixel 10 series, as Google updated its lineup with arguably some of the best Pixel color options in years. Don’t want to miss the best from A

Deluxe Paint on the Commodore Amiga

Back when EA was cool, they packaged their software in album-style sleeves and promoted their developers like rock stars. I was a Dan Silva groupie. VisiCalc on the Apple II. Lotus 1-2-3 on the IBM PC. Aldus PageMaker on the Macintosh. Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. The computer industry loves a “killer app,” that unique piece of software that compels consumers to purchase new computer hardware just for the privilege of running it.

Kindle Colorsoft Kids Review (2025): Great for All Ages

wired.com Nena Farrell 2025-10-22 06:37:00

The age-old question (if “age-old” can be used for technology developed in the past 20 years) persisted as I tested the newest designed-for-kids Kindle: Should you give kids a screen when you could give them something else? If you are going to give your kids a screen, a reflective e-paper screen that's easier on the eyes than an emissive screen is one of the best ways to go. While a Kindle can't fully replace the experience of turning a page on a physical book, I loved reading from a young age

Google is testing new colors for Android Auto, again (APK teardown)

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a less vibrant, desaturated color palette for Android Auto. The change uses a “Primary Color” derived from the user’s wallpaper to avoid overly bright visuals while driving. These changes are still being tested and have not yet begun rolling out publicly. Material 3 Expressive is the season’s flavor, and many Google apps have adopted the new design language. Android Auto also took part in the Material 3 Expressive revolution, rolling ou

What are OKLCH colors? OKLCH is a newer color model that is designed to be perceptually uniform. This means that colors are much more accurate in terms of how humans perceive them and it makes working with them much easier. Color Models Before being able to understand how OKLCH differs from the other color models, it is important to understand some of the basic color concepts.

Google is supercharging screenshot editing on your Pixel with Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1

The feature was first spotted by Telegram user Omar Tosca, who also shared a demo video of how it works with us (see above). Once you capture a screenshot, tapping the edit button launches Pixel Studio instead of the usual editor. From there, you can crop the image, highlight specific areas, or even select a portion of the screenshot for AI-assisted edits. Once an area in the screenshot is selected, you can simply describe the change you want, and the AI applies it. In Tosca’s video, for example

Which colors are primary?

news.ycombinator.com James Gurney 2025-11-22 21:06:45

Artists traditionally refer to red, yellow, and blue as primary colors. These three colors were once believed to be the essential set for mixing a broad palette in painting. Following this line of thinking, violet, green and orange become secondary colors because they’re mixed from the primaries. However, for more than a century, both scientific understanding and practical experience has shown that cyan, magenta, and yellow are more efficient for subtractive mixing with pigments, producing clea
