I tested Google’s Pixelsnap vs the Pixel Stand, and one is clearly better in every way

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 11:00:54

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I don’t usually develop a near instant dislike of new technology, but I’ve quickly come to loathe the new Pixelsnap accessory for the Pixel 10 series. While MagSafe certainly has its merits, Google’s little charging puck is not going to convince me that this is what the future of wireless charging looks like. Especially not when I have the highly regarded Pixel Stand 2nd Gen on my desk (which I’ll refer to as the Pixel Stand from here on out) against which to c

Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency announced that it was going to reject the work it had done back in 2009, when it first determined that greenhouse gas emissions posed a threat to the US public. While it laid out a number of reasons for revisiting its earlier work, one of those focused on the science: The EPA's original decision was over 15 years old, and it claimed our understanding of climate change had itself changed since then.

Classic recessive-or-dominant gene dynamics may not be so simple

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-22 21:52:21

In brief A new Stanford study explores how fruit fly populations maintain genetic diversity amid changing environments, which is crucial for survival against future challenges. The research provides direct evidence to support the theory of “dominance reversal” in genetics. Findings indicate that genetic variants can act as dominant or recessive based on environmental conditions – which gives the flies long-term pesticide resistance. Populations live in rapidly changing environments – droughts

Google Pixelsnap Charger with Stand The Pixelsnap Charger with Stand offers a clean aesthetic and a very solid and hefty build quality. Unfortunately, it has a non-removable 1m USB-C cable and doesn't allow for any stand adjustment or portability. It promises 25W of Qi2.2 wireless charging, but fails to deliver that power consistently over a full charge, often dropping to slower Qi2 15W charging speeds.
