A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the company is exploring options ahead of a December deadline but gave no further details.

Nothing's CMF Phone 2 Pro launched at $279 through the company's now-ended US Beta Program, $100 less than the Nothing Phone 3a's $379 price. Both phones share a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED display at 120Hz and a 5,000mAh battery, with the cheaper model still packing a 50MP main camera, 50MP 2x telephoto and 8MP ultrawide. Nothing has not disclosed a detailed parts breakdown, but the savings appear to come from a weaker processor, less advanced camera stabilization, slower charging, reduced water resistance and other lower-grade components.

Teardown of YouTube's Android beta version 21.44.534 reveals new text strings referencing an "App time limit" feature that would let users set a daily cap on total YouTube usage, including time spent on Shorts.

NVIDIA is extending DLSS 5 compatibility to RTX Remix, its modding toolkit, letting users apply the AI rendering technology to older PC games. The feature builds on existing mods that already enable DLSS 5 in a wide range of titles, allowing lighting and character rendering to be altered significantly.
An advocate general at the EU's top court said Google's Gemini chatbot may breach press publishers' rights when it reproduces recognizable portions of articles or bypasses paywalls to generate answers. The opinion, issued in a case brought by Hungarian site Like Company, found no evidence Google used the publisher's content to train Gemini, and noted that using copyrighted text for AI training is permitted under the EU's text-and-data-mining exception. The Court of Justice of the European Union is expected to rule in coming months, typically following its advisers' guidance.
