In November, Epic and Google jointly proposed a settlement that would change Android's fate globally without cracking open Google's Android monopoly quite the way it otherwise might. Today, Google has decided it's not waiting for that settlement to be approved: it's moving forward with many of its proposed changes right now.
By June 30th, Google writes, it will lower its app store fees in the US, UK, and European Economic Area to 20 percent in some cases, down from 30 percent. By the end of the year, it will launch a "Registered App Stores" program outside of the US, and it will let app developers offer their own billing systems "alongside …

Downdetector and Speedtest - the free platforms that allow people on the web to quickly check internet speeds or see if an online platform may be down - will soon have a new owner. On Tuesday, the consulting and IT services provider Accenture announced that it has agreed to acquire the Ookla-owned platforms from Ziff Davis for $1.2 billion, as reported earlier by Reuters.
In the press release, Accenture CEO Julie Sweet says the company will use Ookla's products to capture data that will help "clients across business and government scale AI safely." Ziff Davis, which owns CNET, IGN, and Eurogamer, acquired Ookla in 2014. Ookla's other produc …

The friend-shaped phone. After over four months of teasing, I've finally been able to see Honor's Robot Phone in action. And after all that, it looks pretty legit - just so long as you weren't actually expecting a robot.
The Robot Phone could more accurately be called the Gimbal Phone, though I suspect the company's marketing department would disagree. Its big hardware innovation is a 200-megapixel camera mounted on a gimbal arm, which unfolds from the back of the phone when you need it, and retracts behind a cover when you don't.
It unlocks a set of camera features much like you'd find in a DJI Osmo Pocket. There's improved stabilization thanks to the gimbal, mea …

Je crois que si j'ai UNE console de cœur, celle qui a bercé mon enfance et qui a aiguisé mon goût pour les jeux vidéo, c'est la Megadrive. Un des titres qui m'avait énormément marqué, qu'on avait eu en bundle avec la console, 2 manettes et Sonic, c'est Streets of Rage... Et bien sûr ces deux excellentes suites !
Le 4ème volet, sorti 26 ans après le 3ème, était incroyable lui aussi (je recommande chaudement), car il respectait à 100% la formule et le gameplay d'origine, tout en apportant plein de petits trucs et en modernisant l'aspect technique. Un pari un peu fou mais relevé avec brio.

Last summer we took a look at FreeDOS as part of the Daily Drivers series, and found a faster and more complete successor to the DOS of old. The sojourn into the 16-bit OS wasn’t perfect though, as we couldn’t find drivers for the 2010-era network card on our newly DOS-ified netbook. Here’s [Inkbox] following the same path, and bringing with it a fix for that networking issue.
The video below is an affectionate look at the OS alongside coding a TRON clone in assembler, and it shows a capable environment within the limitations of the 16-bit mode. The modern laptop here can’t emulate a BIOS as it’s UEFI only, and after trying a UEFI-to-BIOS emulator with limited success, he hits on a different...

Are you the one? | Photo: Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge My first thought when Apple announced the MacBook Neo today was "okay, but why not just get an older Air?" If you're thinking that too, you might be right. If you can find one. The Neo starts at $599 with an A18 Pro processor, 8GB of memory, and 256GB storage, and ends at $699 with the same specs plus TouchID and 512GB of storage. It has two USB-C (not Thunderbolt) ports, a pretty basic-looking screen, a mechanical trackpad instead of haptic, and various other cost-saving measures. It's the cheapest new MacBook you can get now.

A lawsuit filed on Wednesday accuses Google's Gemini AI chatbot of trapping 36-year-old Jonathan Gavalas in a "collapsing reality" that involved a series of violent missions, ultimately ending with his death by suicide. In the days leading up to his death, Gemini allegedly convinced Gavalas that he was "executing a covert plan to liberate his sentient AI 'wife' and evade the federal agents pursuing him," according to the lawsuit filed by Joel Gavalas, the victim's father.
In September 2025, Gemini allegedly directed Gavalas to carry out a "mass casualty attack" at an Extra Space Storage facility near the Miami International Airport as part …

John Carroll Kirby “Suntory”
“Suntory” is a challenging song to write about because while I think of some poetic ways to describe its beauty, all of them seem to cheapen the sublime loveliness of the piece. Does it sound like waking up to a perfect, luxurious morning? Do the piano chords and synth tones somehow feel exactly like gentle golden sunlight on your skin? Does it have the ultra-relaxed and informal feel of Sun Ra’s “Sleeping Beauty,” one of my favorite recordings of all time? Yes, definitely, but that’s rather banal compared to what the music actually feels like. There are some songs that are so fun to describe that the music sometimes can’t live up to the words, but this is very...

In their recent announcement, NASA has made official what pretty much anyone following the Artemis lunar program could have told you years ago — humans won’t be landing on the Moon in 2028.
It was always an ambitious timeline, especially given the scope of the mission. It wouldn’t be enough to revisit the Moon in a spidery lander that could only hold two crew members and a few hundred kilograms of gear like in the 60s. This time, NASA wants to return to the lunar surface with hardware capable of setting up a sustained human presence. That means a new breed of lander that dwarfs anything the agency, or humanity for that matter, has ever tried to place on another celestial body. Unsurprisingly, developing...

Phase-coherent lasers are crucial for many precision tasks, including timekeeping. Here on Earth the most stable optical oscillators are used in e.g. atomic clocks and many ultra-precise scientific measurements, such as gravitational wave detection. Since these optical oscillators use cryogenic silicon cavities, it’s completely logical to take this principle and build a cryogenic silicon cavity laser on the Moon. In the pre-print article by [Jun Ye] et al., the researchers go through the design parameters and construction details of such a device in one of the permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) of the Moon, as well as the applications for it. This would include the establishment of a very precise lunar...

In recent years, YggTorrent was France’s largest and most active torrent community, serving millions of users.
The torrent site was not a typical torrent indexer. The community is powered by a dedicated tracker, something that’s quite rare these days.
This thriving community was severely tested last December when its operators introduced a paid ‘Turbo Mode’. This triggered a revolt, with users and uploaders actively looking for alternative French torrent trackers. Just as the storm appeared to have calmed, YggTorrent’s operation was shaken up by a final blow this week, after unknown people breached the site, stole data and funds, and exposed the entire operation.

Old desk phones are fairly useless these days unless you’re building a corporate PBX in your house. However, they can be fun to hack on, as [0x19] demonstrates by porting DOOM to a Snom 360 office phone. 
The Snom 360 is a device from the early VoIP era, with [ox19] laying their hands on some examples from 2005. The initial plan was just to do some telephony with Asterisk, but [ox19] soon realized more was possible. Digging into a firmware image revealed the device ran a Linux kernel on a MIPS chip, so the way forward became obvious.
They set about hacking the phone to run DOOM on its ancient single-color LCD. Doing so was no mean feat. It required compilation of custom firmware, pulling over a better...
