Google app is now home to your Pinterest-like personalized image feed

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Google has started rolling out a new “Images” tab in the latest beta version of the Google app. The Images tab lets users select interest categories, such as fashion or home decor, to build a tailored visual feed using publicly available search images, similar to platforms like Pinterest. The feature is currently limited to beta users for testing and feedback, with potential for wider rollout soon. We’ve previously spotted Google working on a Pinteres

Your Apple TV is getting a big upgrade for free - 5 features I can't wait to use on TVOS 26

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Earlier this month at WWDC, Apple announced a major upgrade for Apple TV: TVOS 26. This upgrade introduces a significant visual overhaul and several unprecedented entertainment features. The platform offers a new layout and interface, along with smart features that weren't available in TVOS 18. At the heart of the update is a new design language called Liquid Glass, which gives the interface a more vibrant and expressive look. Across iOS 26 devices, Liquid Glass offers floati

Trump Mobile promise telehealth and roadside perks, but is it worth the cost?

From businessman to politician, and now to wireless service provider? Coming way out of left field, it seems the Trump Organization is now looking to leverage the Trump name to bring phone service to its fan base. According to the Trump Organization, the company won’t directly operate Trump Mobile and is instead licensing the rights to an unnamed third party. Trump Mobile will offer just one plan, dubbed the 47 Plan, as a not-so-subtle nod to Trump’s current presidential term. The company will

Heat Got You Dragging? These Simple Tricks Fight Fatigue Fast

High temperatures can wear your body down fast, causing heat fatigue that leaves you sluggish, sweaty and struggling to focus.

From staying properly hydrated to making small adjustments to your daily routine, you can red

Foolproof Ways to Stay Cool While Exercising Outside This Summer

You might be looking forward to a summer full of outdoor activities, but how will you handle the heat? With summers getting hotter and hotter, make sure you take some precautions to stay safe while you're out running, walking, cycling or simply spending time outdoors.

Follow these tips to protect yoursel

The 10 Best Greens Powders, Tested and Reviewed (2025)

The health supplement market is booming. Thanks to a 1994 FDA ruling that supplements are food and not medicine, it's also unregulated—people are purchasing products that may or may not work, and which could have almost anything in them. I took a deep dive into the world of greens powders, speaking with dietitians and trying popular brands to uncover whether or not they're worth the money. Spoiler alert: Greens powders aren’t harmful, but ultimately, but the dietitians I spoke to agreed that th

What happens when AI comes for our fonts?

Monotype is keen for you to know what AI might do in typography. As one of the largest type design companies in the world, Monotype owns Helvetica, Futura, and Gill Sans — among 250,000 other fonts. In the typography giant’s 2025 Re:Vision trends report, published in February, Monotype devotes an entire chapter to how AI will result in a reactive typography that will “leverage emotional and psychological data” to tailor itself to the reader. It might bring text into focus when you look at it and

4 MacOS email clients that make for great alternatives to Apple Mail (and how they're better)

Jack Wallen/ZDNET I depend on email. I not only communicate with clients, but with friends and family, and you cannot put a price on the ability to manage an overflowing inbox with ease. Although Apple Mail is a good solution, there's often something better, and I've been hunting for an option for some time. These four email apps might well fulfill your email needs in ways that Apple Mail cannot. Also: Raycast is my productivity secret weapon on MacOS - and it's free If I've piqued your curi

Announcing the Clippy feature freeze

The Clippy project will be on feature-freeze for 12 weeks, starting from Rust 1.89.0 beta (June 26th 2025) to September 18th 2025 (Rust 1.89.0 stable release). During this time no new features will be accepted, only bug fixes. This feature freeze comes from a lack of the necessary capacity needed to maintain all the current lints (over 750 of them 😱) and still add new ones. We need to care for the Clippy project the same way that Clippy cares about our code, and note that every single one of th

Samsung’s entry-level Galaxy Watch 7 has returned to its best price to date

I jumped on the smartwatch bandwagon a bit late, but now I can’t go a day without mine. Beyond delivering helpful notifications, it’s perfect for setting timers, tracking workouts, and monitoring my sleeping habits (which are terrible). If you haven’t yet joined the smartwatch party or you’re looking to upgrade, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 is down to $199.99 ($100 off) in the 40mm / Bluetooth configuration at Amazon and Walmart. If you prefer a larger display, the 44mm model is on sale at Amazon st

The best Apple Watch of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

An Apple Watch isn't just an accessory or an excuse for a second screen around your wrist. After a year of testing out the Apple Watch, I've found it to be a helpful sleep tracker, the world's most convenient timer for when my hands are dirty in the kitchen, a phone-free text or call receiver/sender, and an exercise motivator and mid-workout monitor. The Apple Watch started out as a sleek fitness tracker and has evolved into an essential companion for iPhone users. Apple's smartwatches have an

14 Best Office Chairs of 2025— I've Tested Nearly 60 to Pick Them

Replace Your Casters The wheels on the bottom of your chair are among the easiest parts to replace. If your current casters don't roll smoothly or are too loud, it might be worth replacing them instead of buying a whole new chair. I like these from Stealtho, a Ukrainian company. They'll work with nearly every office chair, though the company notes they don't work with Ikea chairs. The soft polyurethane material means these won't scratch or chip hardwood floors, as some plastic casters do, plus

Microsoft's Family Safety Feature Is Blocking Chrome: Here's the Workaround

Microsoft's Family Safety feature is designed to block certain types of websites from children. Apparently, it's also been blocking Google's Chrome browser -- but there is a workaround. Chrome, a web browser launched by Google in 2008 -- is not working when users have the Family Safety Feature enabled. The first report of the bug seems to date to June 3, when a user posted on Google's online support board. The user noted that Chrome constantly closed when the person tried to use it. Restarti

Nothing Phone 1 gets a feature-packed encore before the final curtain falls

Oliver Cragg / Android Authority TL;DR The Nothing Phone 1 gets a new update with Android 15’s Privacy space feature. Other additions include a Hotspot Manager, a toggle for face unlock vibration, and the June security patch. This may be one of the device’s final feature updates, with no more OS upgrades coming. The Nothing Phone 1 might be nearing the end of its update life, but it’s not quite done yet. A new software update is rolling out that brings one of Android 15’s key features, with

Apple vs. generative AI: Who needs who?

Tim Cook at Apple WWDC 2025. Jason Hiner/ZDNET One of my editors once told me that a cynic will always sound more rational, but that doesn't mean they're right. French statesman Francois Guizot basically said the same thing from the other POV: "The world belongs to optimists. Pessimists are only spectators." Apple's AI strategy has a lot of cynics and pessimists -- and they sound pretty rational based on what we've seen over the past year. The long-awaited revamp of Siri has never materialized

3 Best Thermal Brush, Tested and Reviewed by WIRED (2025)

You've seen thermal brushes before, maybe touted as a blow-out brush or an infrared brush. The best thermal brush for you will recreate a blow-out type of look on your dry hair—different than a blow-dry brush, which is designed for wet hair but has a similar look. It reminds me of how I would use a curler in my youth to straighten while adding a little body to the roots and a little curl to the ends. If that's your preferred hairstyle too, then these are the devices for you. Thermal brushes use

YouTube creators unaware Google uses their videos to train AI

A hot potato: When it comes to tech companies training their AI models, it seems everything is fair game. Google, for example, uses some of the billions of videos on YouTube to train Gemini and Veo 3, and many creators are unaware that it's happening. With more than 20 billion videos on the platform, YouTube is a treasure trove of data for AI companies to exploit – and many already have. YouTube owner Google is also using the content to train its AI models, reports CNBC. The company later conf

Gemini’s new video analysis feature is here, but there’s more coming (Updated: Widely rolling out)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The latest version of the Google app now allows users to upload up to five minutes of video into Gemini for analysis. Gemini has supported video analysis through a YouTube integration, but rivals like ChatGPT have offered the option to upload videos directly to the AI assistant, so Gemini is finally catching up. Additionally, a future update will let users directly record videos within the app, expanding current photo-only capture, as spotted through our

The Best Teeth Whitening Strips in 2025. Plus, Dentist Tips for Long-Lasting Results

Those with sensitive teeth should look out for products without hydrogen peroxide. Make sure the white strips fit snug on your teeth and don't touch the gums. CNET staff -- not advertisers, partners or business interests -- determine how we review products and services. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission.

The 9 Best Pillows (2025) Tested and Reviewed by WIRED

You might think a pillow is a pillow. It just has to be soft and fit under your head, right? Your head, neck, and back disagree. Getting a good night’s sleep can depend heavily on your pillow, so when choosing one, here are a few key questions to ask. What kind of sleeper are you? Do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach? Do you stay relatively still, or do you toss and turn a lot? Do you usually have one pillow under your head, or do you cocoon yourself into a pillow chrysalis? This is prob

Tech giants unleash AI on weather forecasts: are they any good?

A wave of machine-learning weather models have been unleashed by some of the very biggest businesses on the planet. These challenge the orthodoxy of traditional physics-based computer forecasts that have been incrementally developed and improved over many decades. But are the machine learning models any good? The weather is a national obsession for us Brits, and it is no wonder given the huge changes that are seen and felt from one day to the next.

Apple wins Grand Prix at Cannes for ‘Shot on iPhone’ campaign

Apple’s famous “Shot on iPhone” ad series has just earned one of the advertising industry’s highest honors: the Grand Prix in the Creative Effectiveness Lions category at this year’s Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Not bad for a campaign that started a decade ago. The Creative Effectiveness Lions specifically reward campaigns that prove long-term business impact through creativity. This year marked the fourth consecutive year of growth in submissions for the category, up 6.5%

No, the 16 billion credentials leak is not a new data breach

News broke today of a "mother of all breaches," sparking wide media coverage filled with warnings and fear-mongering. However, it appears to be a compilation of previously leaked credentials stolen by infostealers, exposed in data breaches, and via credential stuffing attacks. To be clear, this is not a new data breach, or a breach at all, and the websites involved were not recently compromised to steal these credentials. Instead, these stolen credentials were likely circulating for some time,

Spotify may finally let you import music without jumping through hoops (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify is working on a feature to import your music. Currently, the service offers no way to import music from other services. We also discovered a URL for the feature. Hopping from one music service to another can be a pain for multiple reasons. However, losing the playlists you spent all of that time creating may be the biggest pain of all. If you want to switch to Spotify, this will be the position you’ll find yourself in since it doesn’t offer an im

Spotify lossless streaming edges closer with new in-app references to ’24-bit’ and FLAC

After years (and years, and years) of waiting and speculation, Spotify’s long-promised lossless audio feature appears to be inching closer to reality. The latest desktop app builds now show multiple references to “Lossless” streaming, giving users the loudest sign yet that higher-fidelity streaming could soon roll out. Here’s what to expect. Lossless options appear in streaming settings and Spotify Connect menus Screenshots shared earlier today by the X account @spicetifyapp, which focuses on

How teachers are fighting AI cheating with handwritten work, oral tests, and AI

A hot potato: The fear that generative AI tools such as ChatGPT would lead to a generation of students cheating and plagiarizing work has come to pass. The situation is so bad that educators are now looking at multipe ways to stop the problem, or at least make the practice much more difficult. Ironically, one of them is to use AI. Speaking about AI-cheat students, Gary Ward, a teacher at Brookes Westshore High School in Victoria, British Columbia, told Business Insider, "Some of the ones that I
