Android's New Design Guidelines Leaked - [briefly]
06:21 PM EDT - May,07 2025 - post a comment
Google seems to have accidentally, prematurely published a blog post about its new "Material 3 Expressive" design guidelines for Android. The new templates feature a bolder design with floating toolbars, larger buttons, more color, and more varied shapes and fonts. These guidelines are used by Google for Android itself and its own Google apps, but are also suggested for third-party app developers. Google says the new system is the fruit of extensive research, including "46 separate research studies with hundreds of designs, and more than 18,000 participants from around the world". Google claims multiple benefits, including users being able to perform certain actions up to 4x faster, as well as strong user preference (vs. Apple's iOS Human Interface Guidelines) and "brand coolness". |

10:18 AM EDT - May,04 2025 - post a comment The NWM ONE headphones are the COMPLETE opposite of AirPods Max, Sony WH-1000XM5, or Bose QuietComfort. Instead of blocking the world, they use PSZ (Personal Sound Zone) tech to give you music without sealing your ears. Perfect for gamers, office workers, runners, and anyone who hates being cut off from reality. But are they worth $299?

We Made Perfect Thermal Paste in a Factory, ft. Der8auer | Made In Germany - [hardware]
02:05 PM EDT - Apr,28 2025 - post a comment We're visiting Thermal Grizzly's factory to see how thermal paste is made, featuring Roman "Der8auer" Hartung to make Duronaut. This thermal paste deep-dive uses scanning electron microscopes to look at paste particle size, testing equipment to evaluate differences, and machines to manufacture the thermal paste itself. All of this was filmed in Germany, near Berlin, at Thermal Grizzly's new factory. We can finally see how much thermal paste is too much. This video goes into thermal paste differences, how to make thermal paste, good vs bad thermal interface material, and more, all to talk about what cools CPUs and GPUs.

T-Mobile Launches 5G Advanced - [briefly]
04:23 AM EDT - Apr,26 2025 - post a comment T-Mobile announced that it is the first US carrier to roll out new 5G technologies from the 3GPP release 18 standard (also known as 5G Advanced) nationwide. This includes new low-latency technology such as Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable throughput (L4S), which will improve responsiveness for applications such as gaming, AR/VR, XR, and video calls / conferencing. Another new feature is 5G RedCap (Reduced Capability), which simplifies the 5G standard in ways that make 5G practical for devices like smartwatches and IoT devices. 5G Advanced also brings enhanced location precision features. 5G Advanced brings a long list of other, smaller improvements to the 5G standard in areas like network slicing. Carriers can choose which features to implement on their network, and indeed T-Mobile says it is "blending elements from Releases 17 and 18". |

AMD Software Adrenalin 25.4.1 Beta Drivers Released - [gaming]
10:11 AM EDT - Apr,23 2025 - post a comment Yesterday, AMD released Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 25.4.1 Optional Beta drivers that add FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Dynasty Warriors Origin, Civilization 7, and Naraka Bladepoint. It also brings Amuse 3 support and AMD-optimized models to Radeon RX 9000 and RX 7000 series graphics cards alongside Ryzen AI 300 series processors. Among the many fixes you'll find corrected lighting artifacts in Topaz Photo AI's Adjust Lighting features on RX 9000 series cards, removed flicker when using AMD FreeSync, improved DirectML and GenAI performance in Amuse 3.0 on RX 7000 GPUs and Ryzen AI 300 series chips, and patched image corruption in certain diffuser models on RX 9000 hardware.
The update also smooths out stutter and performance drops in World of Warcraft's Western Plaguelands, restores integrated camera detection after factory resets on Ryzen AI Max devices, and addresses AMD Chat installation hangs. Since this is still an optional beta with some known issues, like FSR 4 not activating in Naraka Bladepoint on Windows 10, crashes in The Last of Us Part 2, memory leaks in SteamVR on RX 9000 cards, or intermittent launch and stability hiccups in games like Cyberpunk 2077, Fantasy VII Rebirth, Battlefield 1, Monster Hunter Wilds and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, AMD recommends using the suggested workarounds such as disabling motion smoothing or integrated graphics in your BIOS and holding out for your system vendor's certified driver to ensure full compatibility. |

Leo Says Ep. 80: Ryzen AI Max Looked Great at CES...So Why Did I Buy This? - [hardware]
07:23 AM EDT - Apr,14 2025 - post a comment These highly integrated PCs from HP promise great things and look fascinating however both the price and delivery date are unknown.
By contrast we know the price of the three versions of Framework Desktop and we know that delivery will take many months, which leaves us in a bit of a quandary. The obvious move was to buy something completely different that is actually available, and that is how Leo came to take delivery of a Minisforum BD795i SE ITX motherboard along with 64GB of DDR5 SODMIMM memory. The integrated graphics are fairly dire so thank goodness for the PCIe graphics slot!
