Android's earthquake warning system now covers more than 200 countries and regions, up from 98. The system, which launched in 2021, has already sent over one billion alerts and is designed to give people a few seconds of warning before shaking starts. Those seconds can be enough to take cover and protect yourself and your loved ones. Panama and Guatemala are among the new locations.
The Android Earthquake Alerts System is, in Google's words, “the world's largest mobile-based earthquake detection network.” Its purpose is to make early warnings possible at scale. Google is also...

Windows Search is getting a faster, single-list redesign built on WinUI 3, plus inline actions that let you finish simple tasks, such as switching to dark mode, without opening another app. It starts rolling out on the taskbar for Windows Insiders beginning 10/7.
For everyday use, this means fewer steps between finding a setting or file and changing it. Early testing shows substantial improvements in performance and memory usage, and Microsoft is previewing the design now so Insider feedback can shape it before wider release.

One of the consequences of the AI boom is that cooling servers has become a serious engineering challenge. The more powerful the AI hardware becomes, the more heat it generates during operation. At a certain point, simply blowing more air through a server rack stops being efficient.
That's why during a visit to Meta's AI Infrastructure in Texas, one of the most interesting technologies wasn't the AI hardware itself—it was the plumbing.
The Cooling Shift
Traditional data centers use air cooling to keep hardware at optimal temperatures. A few years ago, air cooling was sufficient even for AI...
Apple said it will introduce additional controls to Full Disk Access, citing concerns that some developers are using the permission in ways that could put users at risk.
Full Disk Access largely sidesteps Apple's privacy controls to allow backup apps to function properly on the Mac. However, some developers are using it to access everything on users' systems—including files, mail, messages, and browsing history—without users' full knowledge and understanding. For communication apps, this access can also compromise the privacy of people users are communicating with.
Going forward, Apple will...
