Android 16 is adding support for pinned notifications that show live info from apps.

TL;DR

• Android 16 introduces Live Updates, a new class of notifications for ongoing activities.
• Live Updates are prominently displayed on the lock screen as well as on the status bar.
• These notifications are intended for rideshare pickups, food delivery alerts, navigation, and other use cases.

If this doesn’t sound like anything new to you, I don’t blame you. After all, rideshare apps like Uber have already been showing notifications like this for years now. Uber had to do a lot of custom stuff to make its notifications look like that on Android, though. Google has basically created a standardized version of what Uber’s been doing. With the new progress-centric notifications in Android 16, any app can create notifications like Uber.

The new Nvidia RTX 5090 delivers the fastest gaming performance ever seen from a consumer GPU - but at an average 31 percent improvement over RTX 4090, is that enough to meet expectations? And meanwhile, what about DLSS 4? Are frame generation fps boosts actually increased performance? It's tricky - and the discussion has only just begun.

Niftski's WR - 4:54.565

RTA Rules TAS (no left+right) - 4:54.265, 18 frames away

any% TAS (left+right allowed) - 4:54.032, 32 frames away

Holding left+right at the same time is physically impossible on an NES controller and banned for all real time runs.

This video probably should've used the RTA Rules TAS to make it a more fair comparison but oh well, it's still cool to see
