engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-18 20:11:35

Google's latest AI adventure is a new option for search. Web Guide is a new way that Google will organize search results based on analysis by a dedicated version of its Gemini artificial intelligence tool. The claim in the announcement is that AI can help surface the most relevant content, but it could also be a new way for Google to control what websites get prime billing in results. In the graphic shared alongside the blog post announcing this Search Labs experiment, the company showed cluste

Why we like it: This mineral and chemical combination sunscreen is our pick for the best facial sunscreen of the summer. It’s continued to top our list for the past couple of years due to its gentle formula suitable for those with acne, rosacea, eczema, sensitive skin and hyperpigmentation.

Study sheds light on why some people keep self-sabotaging

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-19 00:01:49

Most people, after suffering consequences for a bad decision, will alter their future behavior to avoid a similar negative outcome. That's just common sense. But many social circles have that one friend who never seems to learn from those consequences, repeatedly self-sabotaging themselves with the same bad decisions. When it comes to especially destructive behaviors, like addictions, the consequences can be severe or downright tragic. Why do they do this? Researchers at the University of New S

Samsung killed its classic DeX mode in One UI 8, but there’s a good reason

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-19 08:42:55

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung killed its “classic” DeX in One UI 8, replacing it with a new version built on top of Google’s native Desktop Mode in Android. This move aligns DeX with Google’s broader effort to improve Android’s desktop capabilities, which should benefit DeX in the long run. However, the new DeX is currently a downgrade for users, as it lacks many quality-of-life features that were present in the classic version. Samsung DeX is one of the best features of O

Surfshark vs. CyberGhost: Which VPN should you get?

Allison Murray/ZDNET Surfshark and CyberGhost are consistently ranked among the top VPNs. They are high-value yet relatively affordable VPNs, which is why most users love them. Also: NordVPN vs Surfshark One unique thing about Surfshark is that there's no cap on the number of devices you can connect. It shares a lot with NordVPN, especially from a security point of view.
