Anker USB-C Exploded on me!

Hey r/Android,


Just wanted to let everyone know this happened so hopefully something good can come out of it.


So this morning I unplug my phone like normal, and as soon as I unplug it, it explodes! It zaps my leg and my arm, and catches fire! Melting into my blanket and burning a hole into my sheet. It honestly scared me a lot. I've never had anything like this happen, I've heard horror stories but thankfully I'm okay.

My Galaxy S10 is safe, but now I'm going to need to replace my blanke...

My Facebook app had Dark Mode for a minute

A few months ago, my Facebook app suddenly had Dark Mode. It has not happened since. I tried telling several Android news outlets, but none of them even responded to my emails. Back in June I could find no pictures online of this. Maybe it's more common now. It didn't seem like a bug, and if I enabled "Force dark mode" in Pixel Settings after it went back to normal, it would have big white boxes showing that it's not possible to force a good looking dark mode. This is not a forced dark mode.

So...
