How to turn on Android's Private DNS mode - and why it makes such a big difference

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Private DNS encrypts your web traffic to prevent ISP tracking. It improves both privacy and online security. It's simple to turn on, but disabling it puts your data at risk.

This one little iOS 26 feature makes me jealous as a Pixel user

Robert Triggs / Android Authority The Pixel 10 phones come with a slew of smart features — everything is AI-driven and feels futuristic, and I agree with it wholeheartedly. In contrast, iOS 26 for iPhones is less about AI and more about visual upgrades. I don’t mind Liquid Glass, honestly — I could play with the refraction all day long, if the heavy animations don’t eat into the battery before that.

How to combine PDF files

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-09 05:00:46

PDFs remain a common way to share documents because they preserve formatting across devices and platforms. Sometimes, however, you end up with several separate PDFs that would be easier to handle as a single file. Perhaps you’re sending a client multiple contracts or keeping all your scanned bills in one place. Whatever the reason, combining PDFs is simple once you know which tools to use. Adobe Acrobat offers the most direct approach, but there are plenty of free alternatives to consider as wel

Wednesday’s discovery of three mis-issued TLS certificates for Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 encrypted DNS lookup service generated intense interest and concern among Internet security practitioners.

Iterative DFS with stack-based graph traversal (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Farlow 2025-11-23 23:09:08

Depth-first search (DFS) on a graph (binary tree or otherwise) is most often implemented recursively, but there are occasions where it may be desirable to consider an iterative approach instead. Such as when we may be worried about overflowing the call stack. In such cases it makes sense to rely on implementing DFS with our own stack instead of relying on our program's implicit call stack. But doing so can lead to some problems if we are not careful. Specifically, as noted in another blog post,
