4 apps you should use instead of Google Docs

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority While Google Docs is an excellent tool in its own right, it has a few issues that can be hard to overlook. After using it daily for years, I grew frustrated with its file management system — or rather, its lack thereof. The inability to sort documents into folders within the app left me with a long, unorganized list of files, hindering my productivity. Eventually, I decided to explore other options. I’ve tested a bunch of Google Docs alternatives, and in thi

OCSP Service Has Reached End of Life

Today we turned off our Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) service, as announced in December of last year. We stopped including OCSP URLs in our certificates more than 90 days ago, so all Let’s Encrypt certificates that contained OCSP URLs have now expired. Going forward, we will publish revocation information exclusively via Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). We ended support for OCSP primarily because it represents a considerable risk to privacy on the Internet. When someone visits a

This Gemini upgrade will soon make Google Docs even more useful on Android (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Docs on the web recently received a new feature that lets users listen to their documents with Gemini. We spotted code that enables this feature on the Google Docs Android app and activated it ahead of release for an early look. The current mobile implementation lacks some features from the web version, but they could be added later. Google recently released a new feature for Google Docs that allows users to listen to their documents using Gem

The No-CPU Amiga Demo Challenge

The No-CPU Amiga Demo Challenge This is an open challenge to create demos that run entirely on the Amiga custom chips without involving the CPU. This repository contains the rules of the challenge and a runner application for launching no-CPU demos. This is intended as a standard specification of the no-CPU platform for demo competitions. There will be a dedicated no-CPU Amiga demo competition at Gerp 2026, January 23-25, 2026. In addition, this is an ongoing challenge — an invitation to expl

CRLite: Certificate Revocation Checking in Firefox

Firefox is now the first and the only browser to deploy fast and comprehensive certificate revocation checking that does not reveal your browsing activity to anyone (not even to Mozilla). Tens of millions of TLS server certificates are issued each day to secure communications between browsers and websites. These certificates are the cornerstones of ubiquitous encryption and a key part of our vision for the web. While a certificate can be valid for up to 398 days, it can also be revoked at any p

Gemini is ready to start dreaming up images in Google Docs on Android

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Docs got started using Gemini to generate images last year, delivering a desktop tool. This month, that’s expanding to Google Docs on Android. You’ll need an AI Pro, AI Ultra, or supported Business or Education plan to take advantage. Generative AI is a reality, and while it’s probably too soon to categorically declare it “here to stay” (tastes do change, after all), this is one genie you’re going to have a bit of trouble getting back in the b

Microsoft's Clippy Crocs Might Be the World's Weirdest Pair of Shoes

Crocs are an infamously ugly shoe style that was once named to Time's list of the 50 worst inventions. Clippy is an annoying animated paperclip from Microsoft that once made that same list. So maybe it's fate that the two much-mocked products are teaming up for a pair of limited-edition Crocs the wearer can deck out with a smiling Clippy accessory. According to The Verge, the Crocs are part of Microsoft's celebration of its 50th anniversary, and are right now only available for preorder by Micr

AI must RTFM: Why tech writers are becoming context curators

AI must RTFM: Why technical writers are becoming context curators I’ve been noticing a trend among developers that use AI: they are increasingly writing and structuring docs in context folders so that the AI powered tools they use can build solutions autonomously and with greater accuracy. They now strive to understand information architecture, semantic tagging, docs markup. All of a sudden they’ve discovered docs, so they write more than they code. Because AI must RTFM now. It’s docs-driven d

These $80 Windows XP Crocs just made me desperate for Android footwear

Techradar TL;DR Microsoft has created Windows XP Crocs as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. The custom footwear features a sky blue design with grassy green soles that mimic the conic Bliss wallpaper from the XP era. All I want is for Google to make Android Crocs a thing! Microsoft just did the unthinkable and made Windows XP cool again after almost 25 years. The software giant has released a pair of Windows XP-inspired Crocs, and now, all I can think of is how cool it would be if G

Why CI/CD Still Doesn't Include Continuous Documentation?

In my 15+ years as a developer, one of the most persistent headaches I’ve seen across teams is outdated documentation. I’ll admit it, I’ve shipped features and moved on without updating the docs. A month later, a new teammate is onboarding or someone is debugging an issue, and they run into a README or guide that no longer reflects reality. It’s frustrating for them and embarrassing for us. I’m certainly not alone in this habit. Maintaining documentation is often the last thing on a developer’

DOCSIS 3.0 vs. 3.1 vs. 4.0: How Are They Different?

If you have cable internet, then you're using DOCSIS technology. DOCSIS stands for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications, and it's a standard that defines how your modem relays cable internet signals to and from your home. If you have cable internet from Cox, Spectrum, Xfinity or a regional cable internet provider like Armstrong, you're using a DOCSIS-compliant modem. The DOCSIS 4.0 cable modem is ideal since it produces faster upload speeds. But while specifications for DOCSIS 4.0 h
