I found an Android launcher that combines the best of Niagara and Nova Launcher

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-12 16:00:39

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority About 15 years ago, when I first switched from a Nokia to an Android phone, it wasn’t a mere choice; it was also a financial decision. I couldn’t afford to buy an iPhone, and its price, padded with hefty import fees, made it a dream I refused to approach. Over the years, I became more fascinated with Android’s customization. A decade and a half later, I consciously stick to Android phones. While my attempts at heavily modding my phones or fiddling with custom R

Despite millions spent on financial software, many finance teams still rely on Excel to close their books and reconcile numbers while preparing them for audit. Two former Microsoft executives view it as a problem — and they have started Maximor to replace spreadsheets with AI agents for the grunt work finance teams perform. Excel spreadsheets are everywhere in finance. Even with dedicated ERP, CRM, and billing systems, many mid-sized companies and enterprises still export transactions into Exce

Ghost of Yōtei is exactly the kind of game PlayStation needs

Things have been weird for PlayStation of late. After years spent cultivating an image akin to the HBO of video games through single-player franchises like The Last of Us, God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn, the company shifted focus, jumping on the live-service bandwagon to mostly disastrous effect. Aside from a few standouts and a number of remasters, those beloved single-player games have slowed to a trickle: which is what makes Ghost of Yōtei so notable.

Exit 8’s director was inspired by watching people play the game

Few video game adaptations understand their source material quite like the Exit 8 film. It takes the rules and structure of the game — which strands players inside of a looping hallway in a Tokyo subway station — and then builds on them with actual characters and a story. And according to director Genki Kawamura, one of the reasons that the movie feels so fresh could be because of how he approached it. “I wasn’t necessarily thinking about a film adaptation of a video game,” he tells The Verge. “

In a conversation with the Reel Rejects, actor Sean Gunn discussed his role as Maxwell Lord as a connective thread between Superman and Peacemaker. Portraying the megabucks metahuman investor as someone who wants to work alongside metahumans is key to Gunn, and his take is to make sure he’s in the know of the choices being made, from outfits to the mural in the Hall of Justice. “There’s no way that somebody in charge like that wouldn’t be aware of what’s going on, and we can tell,” he shared.
