Android 16 has a 7-month-old bug that breaks VPN apps
Quote from Proton VPN: > Google has known about a bug that breaks VPN apps for 7 months, leaving users exposed with no warning or error, just a VPN app that stopped working in the background. > > If you're using ANY VPN on Android, you can help us by getting Google's attention to fix it. > > We first reported this bug to Google in September 2025. > > Others like Mullvad and Wireguard reported it even earlier, in August. > > Google's response? "I don't see anything unusual." > > The bug corrupts Android's network stack at the system level after a VPN update, causing users to blame their VPN provider. > > Restarting the app doesn't help, with the only fix being a full device reboot or VPN app reinstall, something which most users never figure out. > > This affects several VPN providers on Android 16, and only Google has the access to diagnose it properly. > > After 7 months of waiting, we're now asking publicly: Google, when are you fixing this? > > Issue Tracker Links: > > https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/441315112 > > https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/4474331

The Problem with Silicon Carbon Batteries
external-link
TLDR: New silicon-carbon smartphone batteries offer huge capacities in thinner phones (0:25). While many companies like Xiaomi are using them, major players like Apple, Samsung, and Google are holding back (0:55). The main reason appears to be concerns about battery swelling and longevity due to silicon expanding significantly during charging (3:09). These companies are waiting for more real-world data and improved reliability before adopting the technology on a large scale (6:44), especially given their massive production volumes (6:31) and the potentially severe consequences of battery failure (5:21). The US market's focus on software and ecosystem lock-in also means less pressure on hardware innovation (7:11).

AI writes buggy and insecure code. It is not usable for any task beyond simple ones, such as asking what color is a carrot, given how much it hallucinates. You should check out Microsoft, with all their infrastructure outages, Windows bugs, and constant screw ups, as an example of the consequences.

It’s interesting that the VR headset is ARM based. Maybe that’s a sign that 2027 will be the year of the ARM desktop
