You’re a slow thinker. Now what?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 03:01:45

I'm not a quick witted person. In fact, I’ve always been worried about my brain’s slow processing time. But recently, I've realised that slow processing time is not as much of an issue as I thought it was. And even if I was wrong about that, I still think I’d do better for myself by leaning into it, instead of spending energy trying to fight it. In this essay, I want to talk about some ways I've been able to skirt around my lack of quick wittedness! To get what I mean by slow processing time,

The Pixel’s latest Android update has a hidden trick for organizing your Quick Settings

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-01 22:30:39

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A hidden feature in Android 16 QPR1 offers a new, faster way to reorganize your Quick Settings tiles. Instead of dragging and dropping, you can double-tap a tile to select it and then tap its new position to move it. This method is more precise and avoids the awkward scrolling and accidental drops common with the old way. Google rolled out the Android 16 QPR1 update to Pixel devices last week, bringing the company’s new Material 3 Expressive design to the

Joe Maring / Android Authority There are so many software changes to talk about with the Google Pixel 10, and perhaps one of the biggest is Google’s Material 3 Expressive redesign. We’ve been discussing Material 3 Expressive for a while now, but the Pixel 10 series is the first set of phones to ship with the software in a fully finished build. As I’ve been testing all the various Material 3 Expressive updates on the Pixel 10 Pro, something that has stood out to me is the new Quick Settings UI.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Android Quick Share is currently in the process of rolling out a new UI, but even more changes could be in the works. Developers appear to be working on an interface that’s much more minimal, without explicit send and receive screens. It’s possible some of this work could be focused on Quick Share for larger-screen devices. When it comes to app development, does progress ever really rest?
