The motion assist feature of Android 17 works pretty well

You can access it by going in settings -> profile -> All services -> Personal & device safety -> motion assist

Furthermore, you can even customise the motion assist feature by changing the opaqueness, colors and shapes of the dots.

Redmi K80 series owners running HyperOS 4 beta are unable to use their phone

Redmi K80 Pro and K80 users running the HyperOS 4 beta version cannot use their smartphones anymore because a bug prevents users from unlocking the device, even after entering the correct password on the lock screen.

Clearing the data also won't work, as this may cause users to get stuck in the Google account verification process during the OOBE phase.

Although the beta version with this bug has been withdrawn, the only thing users can now do is wait, as they cannot use their smartphones. LOL

Android Canary 2609 is here with a preview of a highly requested security feature: A global lock for Quick Settings!

(As usual, Canary is highly experimental & not recommended for daily use!)

With this new setting, you can require your device to be unlocked to toggle certain Quick Settings. When enabled, your phone must be unlocked to toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, & Airplane Mode.

Go to Settings > Security & privacy > Device unlock or Settings > Display & touch > Lock screen to enable it.

iPhone 18 Pro Max can reach a peak of 52W charging!

Samsung and Google should now be shitting themselves in the corner as iPhone 18 Pro Max also has the largest battery than both of these brands at 5391mAh capacity for physical and 5567mAh for the esim model.

🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: USER RECLASSIFICATION NOTICE

Effective Date: Immediate
Subject: Removal of the “Android User” Title From Vivo Owners

Following the deployment of OriginOS 7 and its wholesale copying of iOS 26, it no longer makes sense to call Vivo owners “Android users.” Effective immediately, their Android-user status is revoked, and they will now be classified as “Second-Hand iOS Users.”

The Sideloading Defence Is Denied
Claiming that “Android allows sideloading” is not a valid defence. Using open-source freedom and APK privileges to run a counterfeit Cupertino interface does not make you a power user. It makes you an "Apple cosplayer" operating on an open-source kernel with the power of APK installer.

Please update your group chat bios and social handles accordingly.

🔵Microsoft has issued out-of-band cumulative updates KB5129194 for Windows 11 version 26H1 and KB5129195 for Windows 11 versions 25H2 and 24H2, aiming to fix problems introduced by the monthly updates rolled out on September 8, 2026.

On the security front, Microsoft patched privilege-escalation vulnerabilities in Windows User-Mode Power Service and, on 26H1, Windows Secure Kernel Mode. For regular users, the more practical fixes address problems in Remote Desktop Services, Hyper-V, and audio.

RDS had been causing connection failures, login issues, and unresponsive management tools after the September update. Hyper-V users also saw crashes when sharing folders with Linux VMs through Plan9. Microsoft additionally fixed a bug affecting some USB Audio Class 1.0 devices in multichannel audio modes.

One known issue remains: some USB Audio Class 1.0 devices may fail to start or produce sound after the September update. If you rely on remote access, virtual machines, or older USB audio gear, this patch is worth installing now.
