So you want to play some games from the early days of 32-bit iPhone OS that no longer run on recent OS versions? [Hikari-no-yume] wrote a sweet high-level emulator, touchHLE, to do so on modern iOS phones. But maybe you don't have an iPhone? [Ciciplusplus] has your back. He ported the iPhone OS emulator, written in Rust, to Android, and then ported a version of DOOM that runs on iPhone OS to go with it.
[Ciciplusplus] also made a video (embedded below) where he documented the trials and tribulations of porting Rust code to the Android platform – an intensely Java environment. It doesn't sound like it was at all trivial. Of course, this couldn't have been accomplished without [Hikari-no-yume]'s original work on touchHLE, which was made essentially to fulfill [Hikari-no-yume]'s long-time obsession with the game Super Monkey Ball.
So for now, touchHLE can boast the ability to run a few old 32-bit games on Android and desktop operating systems. What other games from the first years of gaming on smart phones (and iPods) do you need to see ported? Get involved in the project if you've got an itch you need scratched.

Apple's iPad is the go-to tablet for millions of people worldwide. Picking up an iPad is a no-brainer for many -- especially folks who are already in the Apple ecosystem. But despite its popularity, there are still many reasons one might opt to ditch the iPad for an Android device. IPadOS isn't for everyone, and some people prefer the Android operating system, especially because of its features. And that's not to mention the budget-friendly options available that make Android tablets worth considering.
The best Android tablets can meet any casual or professional need, whether you're interested in gaming, drawing or word processing. Some even work with a touchpad or mouse. And if you're already invested in the Android operating system and Android app ecosystem, it makes even more sense.
So if you're looking for a cheap tablet for media consumption or a premium tablet to serve as a laptop substitute, here are our picks for the best tablets running the Android operating system. We update this list periodically, so keep checking back.

Amazon has come a long way from the first Kindle Fire tablet. The Amazon Fire HD 10 is Amazon's biggest tablet with a 10-inch screen size and powerful speakers. Just like its smaller 8-inch sibling, the Fire HD 8, the tablet is packed with benefits for Prime subscribers making it easy for members to stream and download movies, TV shows and games. Amazon's Fire tablets don't use a pure version of Android, but instead Amazon's Android-based Fire operating system, which pulls apps from the Amazon App Store. You can still get apps from Google Play, but you'll have to install the store yourself -- meaning gaming enthusiasts have access to all of their favorite mobile games for an excellent gaming tablet experience. Also, this is probably the closest thing we have to a budget tablet on this best Android tablet list.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus tablet might be in the middle of the Tab S8 lineup but it is our top pick. The 12.4-inch AMOLED display is bright with excellent color. It's a great size for entertainment and gaming, while big enough for light productivity tasks and still small enough for travel. Updates to Samsung's DeX software even makes the Tab S8 a possible laptop substitute, letting you connect to a mouse and even an external display. A keyboard cover isn't included but one of Samsung's fantastic S Pens is, so you can use the big screen for note-taking and content creation right out of the box.

Despite its more attainable price compared to some other tablets, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE retains an upscale feel. The S7 FE is the same size as the Plus, with a 1.3-pound aluminum body and slim bezels around its 12.4-inch display that has a 2,560x1,600-pixel resolution. Samsung carefully trimmed the features of the Plus, such as going from four stereo speakers to two and switching from an AMOLED display to an LCD screen. The result is a big-screen Android tablet that still performs well and has a premium look and feel for significantly less money. It's currently being sold on Amazon for $430 but you can save $30 with a Prime subscription.

The Lenovo Smart Tab P10 combines a tablet and a smart display into one 10-inch device. This Lenovo tablet comes with Android Oreo, front and rear cameras, fingerprint scanner and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor. When you set it on the dock, the Lenovo Tab becomes a smart display a lot like the Amazon Echo Show.

Samsung Galaxy Android 14: What's New
Samsung's version of Android 14 looks different than the version Google released for Pixel devices because it utilizes the company's One UI 6.
Samsung's One UI upgrades typically deliver design changes, enhancements for current features, and brand new features for newer, and older, Galaxy models.
Older phones and tablets sometimes miss out on newer features so if you want the best feature set, you may need to upgrade your phone or tablet.
Here's the full Samsung Galaxy Android 14/One UI 6 change log:
Quick panel
New button layout: The quick panel has a new layout that makes it easier to access the features you use most. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth now have their own dedicated buttons at the top of the screen, while visual features, like Dark mode and Eye comfort shield, have been moved to the bottom. Other quick settings buttons appear in a customizable area in the middle. Instantly access the full quick panel: By default, a compact quick panel with notifications appears when you swipe down from the top of the screen. Swiping down again hides notifications and shows the expanded quick panel. If you turn on Quick Settings instant access, you can view the expanded quick panel by swiping just once from the right side of the top of the screen. Swiping down from the left side shows notifications. Quickly access brightness control: The brightness control bar now appears by default in the compact quick panel when you swipe down once from the top of the screen for quicker and easier brightness adjustments. Improved album art display: While playing music or videos, album art will cover the entire media controller in the notification panel if the app playing the music or video provides album art. Enhanced layout for notifications: Each notification now appears as a separate card, making it easier to recognize individual notifications. Sort notifications by time: While playing music or videos, album art will cover the entire media controller in the notification panel if the app playing the music or video provides album art. Lock screen
Reposition your clock: You now have more freedom to move your clock to the position of your choice on the Lock screen. Home screen
Simplified icon labels: App icon labels are now limited to a single line for a cleaner and simpler look. "Galaxy" and "Samsung" have been removed from some app names to make them shorter and easier to scan. Typeface
New default font: One UI 6 has a new default font with a more stylish and modern feel. You'll see the new font if the default font is selected in Settings. If you're using a different font, you'll still see that font after upgrading to One UI 6. Multitasking
Keep pop-up windows open: Instead of minimizing pop-up windows when you go to the Recents screen, pop-ups will now remain open after you leave the Recents screen so you can continue what you were working on. Samsung Keyboard

The line will move to show whether your picture is level with the ground. Apply effects more easily: Filter and face effects now use a dial instead of a slider, making it easier to make precise adjustments with just one hand. Scan documents easily: The Scan document feature has been separated from Scene optimizer, so you can scan documents even if Scene optimizer is turned off. The new Auto scan lets you scan documents automatically whenever you take a picture of a document. After a document is scanned, you'll be taken to the edit screen, where you can rotate your document to align it the way you want. Quality optimization: You can choose between 3 levels of quality optimization for the pictures you take. Choose Maximum to get the highest quality pictures with the most post-processing.

Learn more about accessibility: A link to the Samsung Accessibility web page has been added to Accessibility settings so you can learn more about accessibility features and our efforts to make our products accessible to everyone. 
Will My Samsung Galaxy Get Android 14?
Samsung used to keep Galaxy phones and tablets updated with major Android software updates for two years. But again, the company has changed that policy to four years. This was, and still is, a big development because it means Galaxy owners can hold onto their devices for a lot longer.
We should note that Samsung is investigating a change to this policy. The company is thinking about offering more than five years of security updates for Galaxy devices.
While this would be welcomed, it still wouldn't match Google which has extended a whopping seven years of software support to its new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 smartphones.
Here are the Galaxy phones and tablets that are set to get four years of new Android/One UI releases and five years of security updates:
Galaxy S Series: Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy S21 FE and upcoming S series devices. Galaxy Z Series: Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3 and upcoming Z series devices. Galaxy Tablets: Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9+, Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8+, Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and upcoming Tab S series devices. If you see your device on this list, it will definitely move to Android 14 and One UI 6. Newer Galaxy A Series, Galaxy M Series, and XCover models will also move up to Android 14.
If you don't see your device on this, your device will probably miss out on Android 14 and One UI 6. Unless Samsung surprises everyone, popular models like the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy Note 20 series will stay put, at least officially, on Android 13 and One UI 5.
Here's a list of devices that probably won't get upgraded to Android 14 and One UI 6:
Galaxy S20 Galaxy S20+ Galaxy S20 Ultra Galaxy S20 FE Galaxy Note 10 Lite Galaxy Note 20 Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Galaxy S10 Lite Galaxy Z Fold 2 Galaxy Z Flip Galaxy A71 Galaxy A51 Galaxy A32 Galaxy A22 Galaxy Tab A8 Galaxy Tab A7 Lite Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Galaxy Tab S7 Galaxy Tab S7+ This is subject to change, but if you own of of these devices, it will probably stay put (officially, at least) on Android 13 and One UI 5.
Samsung has also started working on the software that will power the upcoming Galaxy S24 series. These devices will run Android 14 out of the box and are set to arrive in early 2024.
Samsung Galaxy Android 14 Beta
Samsung used to keep its Galaxy Beta program limited to flagship models, but in recent years the company has brought mid-range phones into the fold as well.
The Samsung Android 14 beta is currently limited to the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy A54, Galaxy A53, Galaxy A52s, Galaxy A34, Galaxy F23, and the Galaxy M23 5G right now.
Samsung's Android betas are limited to select regions. Big markets like the United States are always on the list, but smaller markets are typically left out.
The Galaxy Android 14/One UI 6 beta is limited to China, Germany, India, Poland, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Samsung Galaxy Android 14 Release Date
Samsung's first Android 14/One UI update is out and it's moving out to the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The software is rolling out in Europe and it will expand to other regions in the near future.
We don't have release dates for other Galaxy models, but you can expect devices taking part in the Android 14/One UI 6 beta to follow closely behind the Galaxy S23 series.
While a lot of Galaxy models will get upgraded to Android 14 and One UI 6 in the second half 2023, many others will have to wait until 2024 for their upgrade.
4 Reasons Not to Install macOS Sonoma 14.1 & 11 Reasons You Should
Install macOS Sonoma 14.1 for Better Security
If security is important to you, think about installing Apple's macOS Sonoma 14.1 update right away.
macOS Sonoma 14.1 has numerous security patches on board and they address issues with Photos, Safari, Siri and more.
As for the first version of macOS Sonoma, macOS Sonoma 14.0, it brought a ton of new security patches to Mac. And when we say a ton, we mean a ton.
macOS Sonoma 14.0 delivered over 50 security updates to Mac users. You can learn more about the particulars over on Apple's security site.
In addition to the patches, macOS Sonoma brings additional enhancements to privacy and security including improvements to Communication Safety beyond Messages.
It now includes content sent and received in the systemwide photo picker and third-party apps. You also have an option to blur out sensitive photos and videos before you choose to view them.
There's also an expanded Lockdown Mode which will help protect you against cyber attacks and improved sharing permissions which means you have more control over what you share with the apps on your device.
If you skipped older versions of macOS, you'll get the security patches from those updates with your macOS Sonoma 14.1 update as well.
