Android’s answer to Apple’s Handoff is coming, and here’s how it’ll work

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-28 18:00:10

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority One area where iOS beats Android is its deep integration with MacBooks, which is to be expected since Apple controls both ecosystems. While tools exist to connect your Android phone to a Windows PC, these solutions often fall short of Apple’s integrations. This gap exists because Android and Windows are developed by different companies with competing interests, which complicates the creation of native, deeply integrated features. For example, Apple’s Handoff

The iPhone Air 2 Is Probably Not Getting an Ultrawide Camera

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-09-29 12:45:50

The iPhone Air has been available for a week as of the publication of this post, and the top complaint I keep hearing about the super-skinny phone is not even that its battery may not last long enough or that it may scratch easily, but that there’s only one back camera. Everyone seems willing to wait for Apple to add an ultrawide lens to next year’s presumably named iPhone Air 2. I wouldn’t bet on that.

Don’t like your group chat icon? Google Messages might soon let you remove it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-29 21:02:23

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR An Android Authority teardown of the latest Google Messages beta has revealed a change to group chat icons in testing. We managed to activate the option to remove a group chat icon and restore the default four-avatar grid. Right now, you can only change the group chat icon; you can’t remove it. One of the little quirks of a Google Messages group chat is that once you set a picture as the group icon, you can’t go back. You can swap it for another photo,

Save $50 on Our Favorite Budget Graphics Card

If you're building a new gaming PC, I've got a sweet deal for you on a graphics card. The PNY Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC (7/10, WIRED Review) is currently marked down to just $379 at Walmart. While prices have been in flux since launch, this is anywhere from $50 to $100 off the usual price, a discount that makes it a much more appealing purchase for gaming at 1080p. This is the most modest entry from Nvidia's 50 Series that I think is worth your time, but that doesn't mean that you'll be dis

How Isaac Newton discovered the binomial power series (2022)

Isaac Newton was not known for his generosity of spirit, and his disdain for his rivals was legendary. But in one letter to his competitor Gottfried Leibniz, now known as the Epistola Posterior, Newton comes off as nostalgic and almost friendly. In it, he tells a story from his student days, when he was just beginning to learn mathematics. He recounts how he made a major discovery equating areas under curves with infinite sums by a process of guessing and checking. His reasoning in the letter is
