It's 2025, 8 years and 8 versions after launch - what happened to Project Treble?

From my understanding Project Treble was supposed to separate Android's OS data from the OEM's binaries (which are more or less equivalent to the drivers one installs on Windows) into different partitions.

From that point on, Android device certification would include ensuring a device could boot Google's Generic System Images and Treble support was supposed to become mandatory for devices released with Android 9.0 or later.

By this logic, seven years later, everything one could reasonably get...

Tried several free auto clickers — this one stood out (no annoying ads)

I’ve tested quite a few free auto clicker apps before — most were either packed with ads or had annoying limitations.

Recently, I came across an app called TapBoost, and it’s honestly been one of the better ones.

✅ Only one ad on first launch — then it’s fully ad-free
✅ Supports both tap and drag auto clicks
✅ Unlimited cursors, with customizable size and color
✅ Recording feature lets you save and replay actions

It’s easy to set up and has a clean UI. Perfect for idle games, repetitive tasks...

Why Is 3D Face Unlock Still Missing from Most Android Phones?

I’ve been wondering for quite some time, why don’t we see more Android flagships using proper 3D face unlock like Apple’s Face ID? Apart from a few Honor devices, most Androids still rely on basic 2D front camera systems, which often fail in the dark or can’t even tell the difference between a real face and a photo (which is… idk mildly concerning). Is there some patent Apple’s holding onto, or is it just too expensive or space-consuming to implement?

Maybe Android skips 3D face unlock because ...

Hey Oneplus! Your computational RAW is broken on OP13 and this is why you should fix it.

As a photography enthusiast who owns a very capable mirrorless camera and a matching set of lenses, I swear by the old saying, “The best camera is the one you have with you.”

Since I consider myself a power user and needed a new phone, the OP13 seemed the right candidate. Western software, unlockable bootloader, flagship specs, and pretty good camera hardware.

One key aspect that stood out from the reviews that I’ve read is how “master mode” could be used to shoot natural-looking images and ho...
