hello, Flutter iOS: USSD code with * and # not launching in phone dialer (works on Android)flutter ios ussd url-launcher tel-uri PROBLEM My Flutter app executes USSD codes for mobile money recharges. It worked correctly on iOS before 2026, but after updating the app, USSD codes no longer execute on iPhone. Key observation: After testing, I found: A regular phone number like 0123456789 → opens dialer correctly ✅USSD with * removed → opens dialer ✅USSD with # removed → opens dialer ✅Full USSD like *140*1*70000000# → nothing happens ❌ This is not a code change on my side — the…

Developer Sawyer X has taken the challenge of running id Software’s classic first-person shooter Doom to a whole new realm — by having it render its graphics to an HTTP server that streams them as ANSI art to a terminal via cURL.”cURL Doom [is] Doom, played over cURL,” X explains of the sensibly-named project. “[It’s an] HTTP server rendering DOOM frames into ANSI half-blocks, streamed to the terminal over HTTP with cURL. No install, no dependencies except cURL and Bash.”Released in 1993, Doom was a smash-hit for Id Software — and in the years since the first-person shooter has become…

John Giannandrea’s time at Apple is officially coming to an end this week. Giannandrea joined Apple in 2018 after eight years at Google to head the company’s machine learning and AI strategy. In December of last year, however, Apple announced that Giannandrea was stepping down from his position and would serve as an advisor to the company before fully departing in spring of 2026. In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reports that Giannandrea’s time as an advisor to Apple wraps up this week. The timing correlates to Apple’s April 15 vesting date — meaning Giannandrea…

However, Litan added, the capability remains opt-in, requires premium licensing and administrative configuration, and disables several Gmail functions, including AI features and comprehensive search, on encrypted content. But, she pointed out, the limitations are consistent with those in Gmail web and desktop implementations. It’s also a capability that Microsoft doesn’t provide. A Microsoft spokesperson said in an email that the company doesn’t currently offer end-to-end Outlook encryption on mobile, although messages can be digitally signed and encrypted.  In its April 9 announcement, Google said Workspace users can compose and read end-to-end encrypted messages natively within the Gmail app on Android…

36 From smartphones to cars to critical infrastructure, these early satellites power some of the most modern technologies of today GNSS is not a term that peppers media language often. Nevertheless, it underpins almost all technologies that we use in everyday life. GNSS systems are present in modern automobiles, feeding the moving maps on trip computers that tell us where to go; GNSS services in smartphones enable features like location sharing and geotagging; they’re even in small devices like Apple AirTags and Oura rings that stream location data and other metrics in real time.  What is GNSS and how does…

In this article, you will learn how to build a deterministic, multi-tier retrieval-augmented generation system using knowledge graphs and vector databases. Topics we will cover include: Designing a three-tier retrieval hierarchy for factual accuracy. Implementing a lightweight knowledge graph. Using prompt-enforced rules to resolve retrieval conflicts deterministically. Beyond Vector Search: Building a Deterministic 3-Tiered Graph-RAG SystemImage by Editor Introduction: The Limits of Vector RAG Vector databases have long since become the cornerstone of modern retrieval augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, excelling at retrieving long-form text based on semantic similarity. However, vector databases are notoriously “lossy” when it comes to atomic facts,…

Z.ai is out with its next-generation flagship AI model and has named it GLM-5.1. With its combination of extensive model size, operational efficiency, and superior reasoning functions, the model represents a major step forward in large language models. The system improves upon previous GLM models by introducing an advanced Mixture-of-Experts framework, which enables it to perform intricate multi-step operations faster, with more precise results. GLM-5.1 is also powerful because of its support for the development of agent-based systems that require advanced reasoning capabilities. The model even presents new features that enhance both coding capabilities and long-context understanding. All of this…

Photo credit: OssewaAlmost everyone at some point in their career has dealt with the deeply frustrating process of moving large amounts of data from one place to another, and if you haven’t, you probably just haven’t worked with large enough datasets yet. For Andy Warfield, one of those formative experiences was at UBC, working alongside genomics researchers who were producing extraordinary volumes of sequencing data but spending an absurd amount of their time on the mechanics of getting that data where it needed to be. Forever copying data back and forth, managing multiple inconsistent copies. It is a problem that…

Posted by Jiacheng Lu, Software Engineer, Google Pixel Team Google is continuously advancing the security of Pixel devices. We have been focusing on hardening the cellular baseband modem against exploitation. Recognizing the risks associated within the complex modem firmware, Pixel 9 shipped with mitigations against a range of memory-safety vulnerabilities. For Pixel 10, Google is advancing its proactive security measures further. Following our previous discussion on “Deploying Rust in Existing Firmware Codebases”, this post shares a concrete application: integrating a memory-safe Rust DNS(Domain Name System) parser into the modem firmware. The new Rust-based DNS parser significantly reduces our security risk…
