Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google now lets all users share a Google Calendar appointment booking page in Gmail. This allows you to easily propose appointment slots with others via email. This general release comes after Google announced the feature back in May. Setting up appointments via email can be a little tedious, as you have to go back and forth with people and wait for their response.

Apple’s machine learning framework is getting support for NVIDIA’s CUDA platform

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-08-14 14:22:22

Apple’s MLX machine learning framework, originally designed for Apple Silicon, is getting a CUDA backend, which is a pretty big deal. Here’s why. The work is being led by developer @zcbenz on GitHub (via AppleInsider), who started prototyping CUDA support a few months ago. Since then, he split the project into smaller pieces, and gradually merged them into Apple’s MLX’s main branch. The backend is still a work in progress, but several core operations, like matrix multiplication, softmax, reduc

Before iOS 26, Apple Will Release at Least One More iOS 18 Update Soon

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-14 10:22:59

Before Apple releases iOS 26 this fall, the company will likely release iOS 18.6 in the next few weeks. The company released the third public beta of the software on July 15, but it didn't change much on the iPhones of developers and beta testers. While iOS 26 will bring a major redesign to iPhones, the latest beta is filled with bug and security fixes, so developers and beta testers shouldn't expect new features.

'Click to Cancel' Is Dead. Here Are 3 Other Ways to Find and Cancel Unwanted Subscriptions

The Click to Cancel rule is supposed to make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up for one. Viva Tung/Getty Images It's easy to rack up streaming subscriptions and other monthly services with just a few taps or clicks. Cancelling them, however, can be a bit trickier.

Here’s why you can’t rate that system app in the Google Play Store

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-15 02:34:30

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Earlier this year, Google started working to implement minimalistic app listings for system services in the Play Store. These listings do not include a review section nor allow users to rate the apps. Users are now starting to see this new format for system services roll out widely. Should all app listings be created the same? At first glance, it might make sense to expect all app listings in the Play Store to have the same stuff: description, screensho

After a Decade of Chaos, Google Is Finally Getting Its Act Together

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-08-15 06:37:58

For over a decade, Google has ruled the mobile world in market share but not in power. Android is the most widely used operating system on the planet, yet Apple still controls the conversation, the culture, and the profits. Google’s vast empire, stretching from Chrome to Android, Gemini to Pixel, and foldables to tablets, has never quite clicked together. It’s powerful but disconnected, popular but often forgettable. That is about to change. Or at least, that is the plan. In a recent TechRadar
