Google ordered to make it easier to download alternative Android app stores

Google has allowed third-party app store downloads within its Play Store, but US District Judge James Donato has raised concerns about the implementation, citing unnecessary "anticompetitive friction." He has mandated Google to address these issues. Google and Epic Games are in a global partnership but remain adversaries in an ongoing antitrust case. In 2023, Google lost a case requiring it to incorporate third-party app stores into the Play Store, with Aptoide Games being the first to benefit from this ruling. Judge Donato criticized Google's execution of the mandate, noting that access to the alternative app store page is difficult for users, as it is buried within menus and does not yield effective search results.

Someone turned PostgreSQL into a city you can walk around in

It allows users to navigate a city-like environment using gaming controls, where database transactions are represented as animations. The project originated from a prompt to Claude and involved 3.86 billion tokens of AI-assisted coding. PGSimCity is open source and has potential for adaptation to explain other complex technologies.

I replaced my old Android Auto sideloading method with this, and it’s so much easier

The process of sideloading apps for Android Auto can be complex due to varying permissions by device and app. Users often face issues with platforms like Android Auto Apps Download (AAAD), which may go offline. Some beneficial sideloaded apps include AABrowser for internet browsing and CarStream for watching YouTube. A new sideloading method allows users to bypass AAAD, ensuring app icons appear in the vehicle's infotainment system. This method was effective on a Pixel 10 Pro running Android 17 without being rooted, but results may vary on other devices. To enable this method, users must activate Developer Mode on their Android device and Android Auto. It is important to install apps from reputable sources, such as GitHub, as recent updates to Android Auto may remove sideloaded apps that circumvent restrictions. After enabling the Unknown Sources option in Android Auto's developer settings, users can install apps like AABrowser, which then appears in the Android Auto launcher and the vehicle's infotainment system.

WorldEdit is a tool for Minecraft that has different requirements for Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. Users must select the correct version for their Minecraft edition. For Java Edition, WorldEdit can be downloaded from EngineHub or Modrinth, while Bedrock Edition requires a separate add-on. To install WorldEdit on Java Edition, users need to download the appropriate .jar file and place it in the server's plugins or mods folder, depending on the platform. Command access must be granted based on world or server settings, and users can select blocks for editing using various commands. Basic edits can be made using commands like //set, //replace, and //undo. For Bedrock Edition, users must download the add-on package, enable experimental features, and use semicolon commands for editing. The add-on also includes item shortcuts and management commands for access. The main differences between Java and Bedrock versions include the installation process, permissions, and command prefixes.
