The Narwal Flow is the closest I’ve seen a robot vacuum get to being perfect

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-15 03:30:08

Narwal Flow If you're considering a robot vacuum purchase purely based on its ability to leave floors of all types as clean as possible, the Narwal Flow is the best bot you can get. AI-powered navigation, EdgeReach Technology, and anti-tangle brushes clean carpets and hard floors all the way to the edges and into the corners with zero fuss. The multi-function base station, with self-cleaning and drying functions, also makes it a breeze to use. Today, I looked at my floor and noticed it looked e

Google's latest Pixel update fixes unresponsive button issue

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-01 17:30:24

Google is rolling a fix for a bug that made some Pixel users' three-button navigation unresponsive with its monthly software update this August. As The Verge notes, after the company released Android 16 in June, Pixel users have been reporting that their buttons are being unresponsive or that it's taking up to 30 seconds for their device to register a tap. Some said they have to press the back button several times for the three-button menu to start working. Users from across Pixel models, includ

Google could fix one of the most annoying things about switching from a Galaxy to a Pixel phone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-03 17:27:57

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a native option for stock Android to flip the three-button navigation bar, a feature long requested by users switching from Samsung devices. This addresses a major pain point, as Samsung’s default navigation layout is the reverse of stock Android’s, forcing users to retrain their muscle memory. Evidence of the unreleased feature was found in an Android Canary build, but it will likely not launch until a future Android 16 quarterly

Samsung could finally catch up to other Android OEMs with this navigation choice

Joe Hindy / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung could soon let you choose swipe navigation as the default while setting up a new phone. Samsung is testing a choice screen that will allow choosing between three-button navigation and swipe navigation gestures during setup. The feature is only being tested and could be introduced with One UI 8.5 on the Galaxy S26. Despite being a leading innovator in the mobile space, Samsung can sometimes resist change, especially when the mandate originates from

Spotify recently introduced a “Create” button along its bottom navigation bar, but it’s really not that helpful. Thankfully, Spotify has fixed this in a new update that lets you turn the “Create” button off. It’s been months since Spotify first rolled out its new “Create” button on the navigation bar, with the button moving from its previous location on the Library tab down to this dedicated position.

It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA

It’s time for modern CSS to kill the SPA Native CSS transitions have quietly killed the strongest argument for client-side routing. Yet people keep building terrible apps instead of performant websites. The app-like fallacy “Make it feel like an app.” At some point during the scoping process, someone says the words. A CMO. A digital lead. A brand manager. And with that single phrase, the architecture is locked in: it’ll be an SPA. Probably React. Maybe Vue. Almost certainly deployed on Verce

Robot Vacuum Tips to Help You Keep a Tidy Home (2025)

In the past few years, no other gadget—headphones, electric bicycle, literally anything at all—has improved as dramatically as the humble robot vacuum. The hardware and software have improved beyond all imagining. There are self-emptying bins, multilevel mapping abilities, and all sorts of bells and whistles, like an automated robot arm! Prices on the entry-level models have dropped significantly, to the point where robot vacuums are now an accessible household tool instead of a statement of bou
