Google reveals its solution for true Android sideloading: a mandatory waiting period

Google is introducing a new "advanced flow" for installing certain apps on Android, which will take effect later this year. This process includes a one-time setup that requires users to enable Developer Mode, confirm they are not being pressured into disabling security settings, restart their device, and undergo a 24-hour cooling-off period before verifying their identity through biometric authentication or a device PIN to install apps from unverified developers. Developers will soon need to provide personal information and, in some cases, a government-issued ID for verification, with mandatory requirements expected in select countries by September and globally by 2027. Google also plans to launch a "Registered App Stores" program outside the U.S. by the end of the year and is working on accommodating rival app stores within its Google Play Store in the U.S.

Resident Evil Requiem runs at up to 100 FPS on an Android flagship via PC emulation

The Red Magic 11 Pro smartphone showed smooth performance in indoor areas of Resident Evil Requiem, reaching 60-70 FPS and even up to 100 FPS in enclosed spaces. However, outdoor sections with more action and detail dropped to 40-45 FPS. The device's 16 GB of RAM was crucial for running modern PC titles through emulation. The Red Magic 11 Pro is not a replacement for handheld PCs but highlights advancements in ARM-based devices and potential for future gaming platforms.

High-end Android phones are now powerful enough to emulate the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 — YouTuber gets 2020’s hottest PC game running at playable frame rates on Red Magic 11 Pro

YouTube's ETA Prime demonstrated that the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 can run on a smartphone, achieving 30 to 40 FPS through emulation. This was made possible by the Red Magic 11 Pro, a powerful Android smartphone with an internal liquid cooling system and active cooling fan, paired with GameSir's GameHub platform. Valve has supported PC emulation for Android, enhancing GameHub's capabilities with its Proton compatibility layer. As smartphone processors advance, the potential for AAA PC gaming on mobile devices is increasing, with future possibilities of running Cyberpunk 2077 at frame rates near 60 FPS, assuming AI silicon demand does not impede progress.

Copilot Uninstall Lands On Managed Windows But With Catches

IT administrators can now uninstall the Microsoft Copilot app from managed Windows devices under specific conditions. This option is available only for devices running an Insider Preview of Windows 11 and is designed for Enterprise, Pro, and Education editions. The Group Policy named RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp allows this uninstallation, but it requires that the Microsoft 365 Copilot and the Microsoft Copilot app are installed, the app must not have been user-installed, and it must remain unopened for 28 days. The policy aims to prevent accidental removals and ensure organizations consider the app's deprecation thoughtfully. For unmanaged PCs, users can hide the Copilot button and disable it in Startup Apps to minimize its presence, but a straightforward uninstallation method is not yet available.

Asus’ colossal new gaming PC has a two-inch-thick door, holographic fans, and a hood scoop

The Asus G1000 gaming PC features a unique design with holographic 'fans,' a hood scoop for cooling, and a thick side panel. It is equipped with an Asus Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and 2TB of SSD storage. The cooling system includes a 420mm AIO liquid cooler, a 140mm fan at the base, front-mounted fans, and an exhaust fan at the rear. The holographic 'fans' consist of spinning light strips with 680 LEDs, creating a lighting effect rather than circulating air. The design includes two smaller holographic displays and a larger side panel display, all within a hinged glass panel. The current version is a prototype with no confirmed release date or pricing.
