Make Your Own Backup System – Part 1: Strategy Before Scripts

Backup: Beyond the Simple Copy For as long as I can remember, backup is something that has been underestimated by far too many people. Between flawed techniques, "Schrödinger's backups" (i.e., never tested, thus both valid and invalid at the same time), and conceptual errors about what they are and how they work (RAID is not a backup!), too much data has been lost due to deficiencies in this area. Nowadays, backup is often an afterthought. Many rely entirely on "the cloud" without ever asking

RFK Jr. wants to change program that stopped vaccine makers from leaving US market

This story was originally published by ProPublica. Five months after taking over the federal agency responsible for the health of all Americans, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to overhaul an obscure but vital program that underpins the nation’s childhood immunization system. Depending on what he does, the results could be catastrophic. In his crosshairs is the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, a system designed to provide fair and quick payouts for people who suffer rare but serious side effe

One UI 8 could give screenshots an HDR glow-up that was missing from betas

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is testing HDR screenshot support for One UI 8 with its latest closed beta (ZYF7) release. The feature likely relies on Android 16’s embedded gain maps to show true HDR imagery when viewed correctly. HDR screenshots aren’t yet available in the One UI 8 Beta 2 release, but may arrive with future open betas or the stable release. Samsung will be bringing Android 16 to its devices with the release of One UI 8. The beta program is live for the Galaxy

Windows 11 now lets EU users export Recall data – if they still trust it

Editor's take: Microsoft is testing a new Recall "export experience" for unpaid beta testers in the Windows Insider program that it was forced to build to comply with European laws. That said, we still believe every Windows user with a sane mind should simply disable and uninstall the entire Recall mess – for good. Microsoft recently released a new Windows 11 Preview Build to the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders (KB5060816). The update includes a significant addition for owners of Copilot+ PCs

The App Store’s new AI-generated tags are live in the beta

Apple’s plans to improve App Store discoverability using AI tagging techniques are now available in the developer beta build of iOS 26. However, the tags do not appear on the public App Store as of yet, nor are they informing the App Store Search algorithm on the public store. Image Credits:App Store screenshot (developer beta 1, iOS 26) Of course, with any upcoming App Store update, there’s speculation about how changes will impact an app’s search ranking.

The New ‘Superman’ Trailer Is Packed With Super Spectacle

Oh, so that’s why the previous Superman trailers were all so similar. Tickets for the highly anticipated DC Studios film are now on sale and to celebrate, Warner Bros. has released its most revealing trailer to date. It’s filled with lots of evil Lex Luthor and even more wild visual effects shots, that showcase action, creations, and more. Presumably, these are all shots that were being finished in the previous months, but are now ready for your eyeballs. Written and directed by James Gunn, Sup

Android 16 lets you take proper screenshots of your beautiful HDR photos

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 is implementing support for true HDR screenshots, enabling you to take screenshots of HDR content. This capability is live in Android 16 Beta 2 and builds upon the previous work that Google did to support HDR in Android screenshots. However, HDR screenshots captured by Android aren’t easy to view on other devices. The reason most people take a screenshot on Android is to share what they see with other people, and Android can handle that sor
