Now Jack Dorsey has built an app to track your vitamin D
Sun Day is available now for iOS via TestFlight, and the code for the project is available on GitHub. The app uses location-based data to display your local UV index and sunlight hours. You can detail your skin type and clothing level, then manually toggle when you're in and out of the sun and the app will track your rough vitamin D levels for the day, along with how long you can be in direct sunlight without burning.
Dorsey says he's 'learning' through his recent weekend coding projects, which he's developing using the open-source AI coding tool Goose. It and similar vibe coding tools are one of the next key battlegrounds for tech's AI giants — just last week a $3 billion deal for OpenAI to buy AI coding tool Windsurf fell through, as Google swooped in to hire Windsurf's CEO and top talent onto its DeepMind team.

Please, Google, give me Pixel 10 colors for the Pixel 10 Pro
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, not Christmas — that's still (thankfully) months away — but Pixel leaks season. Yes, it's that special time of summer when we find out almost everything there is to know about Google's upcoming crop of flagships, from camera sensors to chipsets to, most importantly, colors. This year, though, I have a particular bone to pick with the maker of Android. I think Google nailed the colors of the upcoming Pixel 10, embracing just enough nostalgia to evoke images of the Pixel 3, but it whiffed on the finishes for the much more premium Pixel 10 Pro. The four leaked colors are business-like rather than bubbly, and I am begging for Google to bring some fun back to its Pro lineup. Which leaked colors look better: Pixel 10 or Pixel 10 Pro? 0 votes Pixel 10 NaN % Pixel 10 Pro NaN % I'll take every Pixel in this color, thank you Back in the day, Google had one set of colors for its entire Pixel lineup. The Pixel 1 and Pixel 1 XL came in the same mix of Really Blue, Very Silver, and Quite Black, and that tradition carried all the way to the Pixel 4 series and standalone Pixel 5. It was great — matching colors across different models meant that I could fall in love with a shade like Not Pink or Really Blue and still have my choice of size. So, when the Pixel 10 leaked in an Indigo shade that looks almost exactly like the Pixel 1's Really Blue and a Frost hue that screams Kinda Blue from the Pixel 2, it got my hopes up. The colors felt like a sign that Google was ready to embrace a little bit of nostalgia from Pixels of the past, turning its tenth year into a celebration now that the base Pixel 10 is set to move closer to its Pro-grade siblings by adding a telephoto sensor. I love the Pixel 10's nostalgia factor, but why did Google limit it to just one device? At this point, Google finally seems mostly settled on the rest of its design language. The camera bar has become a camera island, the Pixel 10's frame looks almost identical to the Pixel 9 before it — which is a very good thing — and the seldom-used temperature sensor remains reserved for the Pro models (thank goodness). So, the best thing it could do to brighten up its entire family would be to give me every Pixel ever made in the brand-new Indigo shade. Either that, or let me settle for some mix of Frost and Limoncello rather than limiting them to the base model. Then again, maybe a small part of me always knew that the Pixel 10's colors would shake out this way. Ever since Google began to separate its lineups with the Pixel 6 series, the base model has picked up the better color hands down. Its Sorta Seafoam (light green and yellowish) was better than the Pixel 6 Pro's Sorta Sunny (yellow and gold), and the Pixel 7's Lemongrass is just a little more vibrant than the Pixel 7 Pro's Hazel. Maybe the Pixel 8 Pro's Bay finish is the exception, offering way more fun than the Pixel 8's Rose, but Google has been pretty consistent otherwise. Who says Pro-grade phones have to look buttoned-up? After the thrill of Google's colorful Pixel 10 leak, you can only imagine my disappointment when its Pixel 10 Pro colors followed closely behind. The lineup above is about as dull as possible, with three business-ready options flanked by one brilliant Jade finish. Of course, that makes my color choice pretty simple — Jade is the only way to go — but I feel myself itching for a Pro-level Pixel that doesn't come in green. That might be dramatic — Google's last few Hazel-colored devices have been great. I still think the Pixel 7 Pro might be its best-looking flagship behind my beloved Pixel 5, and it all came down to how the colorful glass paired with the gold-colored frame. However, it's still a pretty muted hue when put up against the colors that everything else in the family gets. Even the Pixel 9a got in on the brightly colored fun with its Iris and Peony finishes, both of which I'd love to see on a top-end device. Google has given us fun Pixel Pros before, but they're few and far between. But, as we know, that doesn't seem to be in the cards right now. For whatever reason, Google is determined to keep its base models fun and its Pro models buttoned up. It's decided that to be a Pro, you have to look ready to step onto a film set or into a boardroom, probably using some mix of Tensor-powered camera tricks or Gemini-powered AI features along the way. I don't think it needs to be that way — I've never worn a suit in my working life, nor have I heard of a film set where there wasn't at least a little bit of fun between takes — but Google does. All I'm saying is that my favorite Pixels, feature-wise, have always been the Pro models, but I simply can't argue with the fact that the base model and the Pixel A series always get the best colors. So please, Google, give some of us Pros the pop of color that the rest of Pixel UI and Material 3 Expressive already have.

Why home internet beats 5G hotspots for speed, savings, and reliability
Streaming lags. Downloads crawl. And just when you're about to join that 8:00 AM meeting with your boss? Glitched again. If you've been using your smartphone's mobile hotspot as your primary home internet connection, you already know how dicey things can get. What might seem like a convenient, cost-effective alternative to home internet often turns into a frustrating guessing game of connectivity. But here's the kicker: home internet doesn't just offer better performance, it can actually be more affordable, especially when bundled with mobile service. The Case Against Mobile Hotspots at Home Sure, using mobile data for internet access feels like the minimalist move. No routers. No installation. Just turn on your phone's hotspot and you're online. But this setup is built on compromises…and they show. Speed and stability: Mobile networks are built for mobility, not stability. Your smartphone shares tower bandwidth with everyone in your area, which means peak-hour slowdowns, dropped connections, and inconsistent speeds. That's a recipe for disaster if you're gaming, streaming 4K, or on an important work call. Network congestion: When your neighbors all get online during the same Netflix hour, your mobile hotspot can buckle under the pressure. This isn't just about buffering, it's about your phone being forced to act like a makeshift router, which it wasn't designed for. Device limitations: Want to connect your smart TV, laptop, security system, gaming console, smart lights, and a few phones? You're pushing the limits of your hotspot, which typically can only handle a handful of connected devices before performance nosedives. The Smarter Switch: Reliable, Affordable Home Internet Enter: Astound. For as little as $35 a month, Astound gives you ultra-fast, fiber-powered home internet that doesn't flinch when your entire apartment wants to stream at once. And the cherry on top? You get unlimited mobile data — completely free for one line — when you bundle it with internet service. And from July 15 through September 30, you'll get a $100 gift card. Let's break that down: $35/month for reliable gig-speed internet for 3 years Free unlimited mobile data for one line $100 gift card The Data Reality Check Think you're saving by relying on your hotspot or tethering? Think again. According to a recent study from Astound, the average household uses more than 600 GB of internet data every month, a number that far exceeds what most 4G or 5G wireless data plans comfortably support without throttling. Using a mobile hotspot device or a capped phone plan puts your connection at serious risk of slowdown, especially when multiple users are sharing it. When You Bundle, You Win Bundling mobile and home internet helps you save money, simplify billing, and ensure that your internet experience doesn't drop off the moment you leave your front door. With Astound's fiber-backed network and mobile perks, you get seamless coverage at home and on the go. That $35 home internet plan suddenly looks a lot better than your $80-a-month data plan and with none of the throttling, buffering, or midnight resets. And yes, it supports all your streaming, gaming, and smart home habits. If you're setting up a first apartment, upgrading your living situation, or just sick of paying too much for too little, this is the moment to rethink your setup. Astound is ideal for renters, movers, young professionals, and students. So stop duct-taping your digital life together with a mobile hotspot. There's a smarter, more stable, more affordable option waiting. Your Hotspot Was Never Meant to Be Your Home Internet Astound's $35 Gig Internet for 3 years with free unlimited mobile and $100 gift card is more than just a good deal, it's a total upgrade.
