Razer today announced that it will be rolling out the Android 8.1 Oreo update to everyone from mid to late April 2018. However, the developer's preview is available for those who wish to try out the update before the official roll out.
Since the developer's preview is an early release of the Oreo update, the company warns about the bugs and stability issues. It also mentioned that Manually flashing the Razer Phone by unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty. The company is skipping the 8.0 update and is directly pushing the 8.1 Oreo.

While the company hasn't provided an official changelog, it is safe to assume that all the Oreo features like picture-in-picture, apps restrictions running in the background, notification dots by app icons, and more. The developer's preview will come with February 5, 2018, security patch, which will also be the same security patch when the official version releases.

Now with the upcoming “Handwriting settings” it might allow users to set the speed of that scrolling and also the ability to set the thickness of strokes. The latest beta update is also adding support for the next major Android release.
Long press on the period to reveal and enter common top-level domains like .com, .org, .net, .edu, and .gov is the option that always been the same. However, it now seems to be changing a bit. Looks like Gboard is now adding more country-specific ones for China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Earlier this month, Instagram and Snapchat removed the GIPHY integration over racial slur GIF that was spotted by users. However, Instagram has now restored the GIF stickers from GIPHY as it confirmed it has reviewed its GIF library four times and will preemptively review any new GIFs it adds.
This is the risk that most platforms face when they work with third-party developers to bring outside and crowdsourced content into their apps. Though both the companies immediately responded and took down the GIF in question, it raises the question of quality, safety, and content filtering.
GIPHY said that it re-moderated its entire sticker library 4x and has also added another level of GIPHY moderation before each sticker is approved by the library. The company is now making this moderation permanent. However, Snapchat, on the other hand, said that it didn't have anything to add at this moment and didn't mention whether it’s going to reactivate GIPHY.
An Instagram spokesperson in a statement has said:
We’ve been in close contact with GIPHY throughout this process and we’re confident that they have put measures in place to ensure that Instagram users have a good experience.
GIPHY commenting on the same said:
To anyone who was affected; we’re sorry. We take full responsibility for this recent ...

Google's URL shortener; goo.gl was introduced back in 2009 and today the company has announced that it is shutting down the services and is replacing it with Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL). FDLs are smart URLs that can send existing and potential users to any location within an iOS, Android or web app.
Users who have never created short links before today will not be able to create new short links via the goo.gl console. Google will allow you to create new short links Firebase Dynamic Links or other alternatives like Bitly and Ow.ly. Google mentioned that all the existing goo.gl links will continue to redirect to the intended destination and users can manage them via the goo.gl console for the next year; until March 30th, 2019.

Google will also discontinue the APIs on March 30th, 2019.
As for developers, FDL short links will automatically detect the user's platform and send the user to either the web or your app, whichever is appropriate.

Apple this week rolled out the macOS 10.13.4 that introduced official support for eGPUs (external graphics processors) on Thunderbolt 3 Macs. In the release notes, Apple has published a detailed support document that outlines how eGPU support works and provides graphics card and chassis recommendations that can be used with your Mac.
The company has listed several AMD video cards recommendations including Radeon RX 570 and RX 580, the Radeon Pro WX 7100 and 9100, and finally the Radeon RX Vega 56, 64, and Vega Frontier Edition Air. Apple has said that the support is not limited to any specific card vendor, as long as the card complies with the reference specification.
However, the list does not include any cards from NVIDIA which does have the "web driver" for its PCI-E that it updates after every macOS revision. Also, the cards that were supported during the initial testing of eGPU support are no longer supported, such as the AMD RX 560. Mac users will have to use the Thunderbolt 3 since the support for earlier versions is discontinued in the beta period.
Apple also lets users connect more than one eGPU, but should use direct connections instead of daisy-chaining. The company also mentioned that all have 87W of charging power available ...
Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are the company's latest flagships and these phones come with some impressive features that aren't present on the 2017 flagships. However, today the company is pushing one such feature to S8 and Note8 flagships. Samsung has released an update to the Always On Display (AOD) on the Galaxy S8, S8+, and Note8 that adds support for using GIF.
The update lets you add a little action to the otherwise-dull clock and time Always On Display. Samsung allowed you to add themes and photos, but GIF is the latest update. You can either chose from a list of Samsung defaults or upload one from Gallery. Since we are talking about GIF, it shouldn't be long and you can trim it from the gallery. The GIF won't play for long, it just plays once when you turn the display off. If you wish to see the GIF again, just double-tap-on the screen.
This limitation is put forth to reduce battery consumption. To get the new Gif animation feature, you will have to update the Always on Display from 'My Apps' and once you’ve updated, you will need to select the particular clock style that shows images on the display. ...
With every major Android release, Google revamps its Pixel launcher to accommodate the device and the new design language better. With Android P right around the corner, we now are seeing a slightly revamped Pixel launcher that will ship with the Google Pixel 3.
The new revamped launcher is found by modifying the existing Pixel Launcher APK from the Google Pixel 2 to enable some hidden, in-development features of the launcher. The Pixel launcher's search bar is now split into two; one for search and one with Google mic icon. We're not sure what the purpose of this change or it is part of the rumored Material Design 2 set to be unveiled during Google I/O 2018.
A similar thing happened during the Pixel 2, and the modded APK with bottom search bar was out before its release thanks to many APK modders. XDA the sole power behind the new finding has mentioned that it will soon publish an update to the modded app with these new changes available as a toggle. The in-development parameters of the latest official APK are a giveaway to prove that this revamped launcher is indeed for the Google Pixel 3.
