In one of the biggest changes ever for the search giant, Google shook up its search results this spring with a new feature called AI Overviews. For many search queries asking questions, users will now see an AI summary of an answer at the top of their Google results. Not...

The Doogee T30 Max tablet is available now on Amazon for $500. The T30 Max has all the power and battery you want in a tablet, with the added bonus of a brilliant display. The cover that comes with the T30 Max is a bit flimsy, so you'll probably want to find something a bit more substantial.

What’s one thing you can glean from literally EVERY Google I/O and WWDC? Well, software developers want to make the user experience quicker and more seamless. Google could bring a feature that makes getting to your brand-new app quicker. The Google Play Store could auto-launch apps right after you install them.

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

If you're running low on storage space, emptying the trash on your Android device can seem like the most straightforward thing to do. However, Android devices, from budget phones to high-end models, don't have a trash folder or recycle bin. Still, you can remove unwanted files and apps. Deleting apps...

We've known for a while that is . While the company says it has been integrating that into various aspects of the voice assistant, it's also working on a more advanced version of Alexa that it plans to charge users to access. Amazon has reportedly dubbed the higher tier "Remarkable Alexa" (let's hope it doesn't stick with that name for the public rollout).

Amazon reportedly thinks people will pay up to $10 per month for next-gen Alexa

Mobile phones purchased from a carrier are generally locked to that carrier until either the contract is up or the phone is paid off. But despite improvements to the process over the years (unlocking was flat-out illegal not long ago), it still isn’t quite clear to all consumers when and how they can unlock their phone and take it to the carrier (or country) of their choice.

FCC rule would make carriers unlock all phones after 60 days

Rohlik — which means “baker” in Czech (and also a little roll the baker might make) — has aimed to carve out a differentiated position. Its focus has been on operating smaller warehouses and linking up ties with local producers and sellers, such as butchers and fishmongers, rather than reproducing what a large supermarket might sell online (or indeed stock in a physical store). In reference to the Rohlik of its name, it bakes bread at its distribution centers.

China-based Vivo has introduced a new tablet, the Vivo Pad 3, and based on the specs alone, this could fast become one of the best Android tablets of the year. Perhaps more importantly, it could become an exciting competitor to the recently released iPad Air (2024). The Vivo Pad 3...

During the WWDC 2024 keynote, Apple previewed iOS 18‘s Genmoji, which is part of its Apple Intelligence features that will be released later this year. With this function, iPhone users will use AI to generate new emoji characters based on text input, such as “T-rex wearing a tutu on a surfboard.”
What makes Genmoji in iOS 18 unique is that Apple designed an API to make them work like stickers and Memoji and behave like emojis. With the new NSAdaptiveimageGlyph API, developers can easily integrate Genmoji into their apps.
To ensure users have the best experience possible, Apple is redesigning the emoji...

YouTube Premium has received five new features you'll want to know about.

Blackmagic Design has done it again by launching an Android version of its extremely successful camera app. It’s not just about the advanced camera features the Blackmagic Camera for Android gives you. Still, it connects to the whole ecosystem like Blackmagic Cloud and DaVinci Resolve, opening up much more filmmaking possibilities to a new cloud – the Android users. But there’s a catch. It’s compatible with Galaxy and Pixel phones only.

The taste-testing season for Apple’s wave of next-gen software has already begun. Where iOS 18 went heavy on AI and generously lifted off from Android’s feature set, iPadOS 18 didn’t quite get the same kind of attention from Apple. Making the beastly M4-powered iPad Pro run more macOS-like workflows? Well, that didn’t happen. But the future still looks a tad brighter, thanks to Apple Intelligence.

Thanks to the convoluted nature of geography-based licensing among the major studios, streaming services with international reach can have much more comprehensive selections of TV shows and movies in a different country. That’s why savvy viewers have long used VPNs – virtual private networks – to expand their options. Change your location from the US to the UK and, voila, you suddenly have access to Friends and The Office on Netflix again.

YouTube is working on new plans for its YouTube Premium subscriptions, the company said in a community post on Thursday. “We’re committed to bringing members more plan options by expanding our existing offers to more regions, while also introducing new plans and exploring ways for you to share your benefits with friends in the future,” according to a post from a YouTube team member identified as Hazel.
