5 underrated Android features I use all the time, and you should too

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-20 17:00:59

Andy Walker / Android Authority Features like split-screen mode, Quick Share, and various battery optimizations are more or less common knowledge amongst Android users. But Google’s OS has so many features, it’s easy for some to fly under the radar — especially since they can be buried deep within the settings. A lot of the features I use regularly aren’t talked about as much as they should be, partly due to the fact not everyone is aware that they even exist. I want to change that by sharing

Think smartphone cameras have peaked? Here’s what’s still to come

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-20 18:00:54

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’ve seen some absolutely phenomenal camera phones cross my desk this year. The extravagant Xiaomi 15 Ultra and more mainstream OnePlus 13, in particular, have upped the ante on the iPhone, Galaxy, and Pixel triopoly, providing avid photographers more choice than ever before. While some of their best bits will inevitably trickle down to more affordable price points, thereby introducing more consumers to these superb capabilities, there’s also a sense that we m

Trigon: Exploiting coprocessors for fun and for profit (part 2)

news.ycombinator.com Alfie Cg 2025-07-20 16:15:26

A few months ago, I released a kernel exploit called Trigon. It was significant in that it was deterministic - that is, it cannot fail. However, at the time of release, only A10 devices on iOS 13 - 15 were supported. Since then, support has been implemented for A9(X) and A11 devices. In this blog post, I am going to dive into what it took to support these new devices - I made use of some pretty interesting techniques, which I believe are worthy of a second part to the original writeup.

A brief history of “three-parent babies”

I can’t go any further without talking about the term we use to describe these children. Journalists, myself included, have called them “three-parent babies” because they are created using DNA from three people. Briefly, the approach typically involves using the DNA from the nuclei of the intended parents’ egg and sperm cells. That’s where most of the DNA in a cell is found. But it also makes use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)—the DNA found in the energy-producing organelles of a cell—from a thir
