androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-26 17:00:08

I’m a tech guy with plenty of gadgets I use regularly. These include my phone, tablet, smartwatch, Bluetooth speaker, laptop, headphones, earbuds, and more. But when I look at my electronics lineup, one device sticks out as a symbol of what great technology should be. It was cheap, is old, but still looks almost as new, and I have no reason whatsoever to buy a new one. It’s my Kindle, and I love everything about it.

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-26 18:21:19

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing an “Uninstall” button directly within individual app listings in the Play Store. This button, on individual app pages, will make it easier to remotely uninstall apps from other devices. The Google Play Store forms an integral part of the Android flagship experience. It serves as the primary gateway to download and install apps and games on not only your phone but all connected devices in your hardware ecosystem. Over the years, Google ha

The best MacBook accessories for 2025

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-26 17:01:26

There is a mouse graveyard in my office cabinet — devices I’ve tried and discarded because they didn’t help with my shoulder aches. The solution was a roller ball mouse and Logitech’s MX Ergo is the best I’ve found. It tilts for a more natural “handshake” grip and has a slow-mo option for more precise movements in Photoshop and other apps. The scroll wheel is speedy but precise, as is the trackball and you can switch between two devices with the pairing button. You can even program the various b

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The Play Store Downloads list now separates restored apps into a “From previous device” section during the setup process. The change was spotted by a tipster while restoring apps on a Pixel 10 Pro XL. It’s a small tweak that could make the transfer to a new device marginally less overwhelming.

If a family of anthropomorphic mice were to meet around a TV, I imagine they'd gather around something like TinyCircuits’ TinyTV 2. The gadget sits on four slender, angled legs with its dials and classic, brown shell beckoning viewers toward its warm, bright stories. The TinyTV’s screen is only 1.14 inches diagonally, but the device exudes vintage energy.

Typepad, a blogging service that launched in the same year as WordPress, has announced that it's shutting down on September 30. "We have made the difficult decision to discontinue Typepad," its team said in a post.
