Latest Android Auto updates are crashing for some users

Users of Android Auto are experiencing significant crashing issues, particularly after the release of version 17.2, with some instability also noted in version 17.1. The application crashes shortly after launch, often when users navigate the map or select media, causing the vehicle's display to revert to the native infotainment system. Most affected users are part of the Android Auto beta program, while those on the stable track using version 17.0 have not reported similar problems. Users can revert to a more stable version by exiting the Play Store beta program, uninstalling updates, or sideloading an APK of a previous version.

Android Auto is crashing (again), and nobody knows why (again)

Android Auto users are experiencing frequent disconnections and crashes after the recent update to version 17.2, which was rolled out on July 3. Reports indicate that disconnections last from seconds to minutes, and crashes occur whenever audio is played. The issues affect a wide range of Android devices, and users have recommended delaying the installation of the update or reverting to the previous version. The root cause of the problems is uncertain, with speculation that they may be linked to other updates, such as the Play services update from late June. Google is aware of the situation, as indicated by reports on the Google Issue Tracker, but these issues are categorized under Android 17 beta and differ from feedback on Reddit.

Crysis 2 had problems, but it got one thing right: destruction

Crysis 2 features a narrative centered around Alcatraz, a U.S. Marine caught in an alien invasion, guided by Prophet from the original Crysis. The game emphasizes destruction, transforming New York into a chaotic battleground, although it suffers from simplistic AI, a convoluted narrative, and clichéd characters. The nanosuit's functionality is reduced compared to its predecessor, limiting active abilities and creativity in gameplay. Players can use stealth and engage in direct combat, with standout moments during defensive missions where they assist civilians and demolish buildings to disrupt enemies. However, the final mission is anticlimactic, leaving players unsatisfied with the conclusion. Despite its limitations, Crysis 2 showcases moments of brilliance and potential for innovation in gaming.

Торрент-стриминг без вреда для SSD: переносим TorrServer в Proxmox LXC и интегрируем с Lampa

Modern budget Smart TVs, like the Xiaomi Mi TV, often have limited processing power and memory (1 to 1.5 GB of RAM), which can lead to performance issues when running applications like TorrServer. Users may experience network overloads due to extensive communication with the torrent network, resulting in dropped streams and network failures. Additionally, the RAM shortage can cause the Android system to terminate background services or crash due to Out of Memory errors. CPU throttling occurs as the CPU struggles with torrent processing, leading to overheating and poor playback quality. To address these issues, it is recommended to run TorrServer on a dedicated home server instead of the TV. A lightweight Debian 12 LXC container can be deployed on a Proxmox VE host for this purpose, with the following specifications: VMID 212, hostname torrserver, 2 CPU cores, 2 GB RAM, 512 MB swap, and 8 GB disk space. The container can be created using a specific command on the Proxmox host, and after creation, the TorrServer application can be installed and configured to start automatically.

A Game That Hasn’t Even Launched Has Raised $1 Billion

On May 24, 2026, 'Star Citizen' surpassed ₩1.4 trillion (approximately billion) in cumulative crowdfunding, achieved entirely through fan support without publisher involvement. The game, developed by Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) since its Kickstarter launch in 2012, is still not officially released. It has raised ₩210 billion in 2025 alone, marking an all-time high for annual fundraising. 'Star Citizen' is recognized as the most expensive game ever made, with its crowdfunding amount being 3.8 times the production cost of 'GTA V' (₩370 billion). The game's revenue model includes the sale of in-game spacecraft, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to millions of won. Despite being in development for 14 years, the game continues to engage a growing community, with hundreds of thousands of players participating in its ongoing alpha state. The timeline for completion remains uncertain, with the single-player campaign 'Squadron 42' tentatively set for 2026 and the main multiplayer project suggested to be completed around 2028. Opinions on 'Star Citizen' are divided, with some viewing it as a scam due to its lengthy development and unfulfilled promises, while others see it as a cultural movement and a significant community-driven project.

D4vd’s League of Legends Arcane song seemingly removed from the official soundtrack on Spotify

Riot Games has removed the track "Remember Me," performed by D4vd, from the League of Legends Arcane Season 2 soundtrack on Spotify due to the artist's legal issues, including a charge of first-degree murder. D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is currently pleading not guilty and is held at the Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles. The soundtrack now transitions directly from "Paint the Town Blue" by Ashnikko to "Isha's Song" by Eason Chan, omitting "Remember Me." Burke's original version of the song is also unavailable on Spotify, likely due to Riot Games holding the rights. Other industry responses include fashion brands removing Burke from campaigns and Kali Uchis requesting the removal of their collaborative single from Spotify. Players have petitioned Epic Games to remove Burke's character skin from Fortnite, but Epic has decided to retain it while offering refunds.
