5 things I learned from revamping my smart home

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Recently, when I started renovating my home, I knew it was the perfect time to rebuild my smart home from scratch. I’ve been on the smart home bandwagon for years, but cobbling together IoT products is never the right approach. Some things work, some don’t, and some don’t work quite as well as you’d want them to. The best smart homes are the ones you never have to think about. Over the years, I’d pieced together a mix of gadgets, platforms that included Alexa

Google Home now lets you control your smart devices, your way

TL;DR Google Home now lets you set up different Favorites for each device. That means you can pin the front door as a favorite on your smartwatch, while the lounge light is pinned on Google TV. This should be useful if you tend to control different smart home gadgets via specific devices. Google has just announced the stable release of Android 16, while also revealing a few features for ecosystem users. It turns out there’s a notable addition to the Google Home app as well. The search giant

I built a focused, productive One UI 7 home screen using its most chaotic feature

Andy Walker / Android Authority I’ve had a blast using One UI 7 on my Galaxy phone. Now Bar has changed the way I juggle through playlists and monitor dishes in the oven, while its expanded Routines actions offers even more inventive ways of using its built-in automation feature. But one thing I’ve largely avoided until now was One UI Home. I’ve never been partial to stock launchers, but since I gave Pixel Launcher a fair chance and built a fairly productivity-minded home screen with it, it’s o

With iPadOS 26, Apple has finally turned the iPad into a computer

With the announcement of iPadOS 26, Apple has finally done something it had seemed to be resisting for well over a decade: turning the iPad into a computer. Apple has long sent mixed messages about the device, sometimes arguing that it is a computer, and other times arguing that iPads and Macs are two very different devices with two very different roles … The iPad was not a computer On the one hand, as far back as 2017 Apple ran the What’s a computer? ad campaign, essentially arguing that the

Dia, The Browser Company’s AI-first browser, launches Mac beta

After discontinuing Arc, The Browser Company is back with a new take on its vision for the future of web browsing in the AI era. Dia, its new browser, is now available in beta for existing Arc users on macOS. And while it shares a few design cues from its predecessor, Dia is a very different product with a very different goal. Here’s how to test it out. When it first came out, Arc made a deservedly big fuss with its complete reimagining of browser UX. Then it proved too cumbersome and commercia

Qualcomm says its new AR1+ Gen 1 chip can handle AI directly on smart glasses

Qualcomm's has launched its latest processor for smart glasses, and though it's a modest upgrade over the previous chip, it has a new trick. The Snapdragon AR1+ Gen 1 can run AI directly on devices with no need for a smartphone or cloud connection, allowing users to go out or do chores with only their smart glasses, the company claims. The chip could appear in next-gen AR glasses from the likes of Meta and XReal. Smart glasses often require large temple arms to accommodate chips and other compo

Nintendo sets record with 3.5 million Switch 2 units sold in four days

Nintendo has sold 3.5 million Switch 2s in four days, setting a company record for a new console launch. That puts Nintendo on track toward its goal to sell 15 million units by March 2026 if it can keep up on the production side. By comparison, it took the original Switch nearly a full month to hit 2.7 million units sold, even though it launched at a considerably lower price ($300 compared to $450 for the Switch 2). To get a hold of one, fans entered lotteries to buy consoles directly from Nint

Pragmata is a satisfying sci-fi shooter with an intriguing double act

Capcom’s odd-couple sci-fi action game, Pragmata, is almost here. At SGF 2025, I finally got to steer Hugh (the human) lumbering around in a military spacesuit, with the adorable android, Diana piggybacking along. First announced in 2020 during the PS5 reveal stream, Pragmata is set on a lunar base, where an industrial mishap turns security droids hostile, while lines of communication back to Earth have been severed. The USP here is how you fight your threats: by teaming up with a small synthet

Microsoft fixes unreachable Windows Server domain controllers

Microsoft has resolved a known issue that caused some Windows Server 2025 domain controllers to become unreachable after a restart and triggered app or service failures. As Redmond explained when it acknowledged the bug in April, servers loading the standard firewall profile instead of the domain firewall one after rebooting will have issues managing network traffic correctly. Because of this issue, services and applications running on impacted domain controller servers or remote devices may f

The curious case of shell commands, or how "this bug is required by POSIX" (2021)

About the fatal perils and traps of many modern tools that handle "shell commands" as passed through system(3) or sh -c . Or, how by the end of 2020, we still haven't given up on shell's equivalent "SQL building", or how shell's equivalent "SQL injection" still thrives in our engineering world...

Amiga 4000T: The Best Amiga in the World

Amiga 4000T: The Best Amiga in the World There had never been an Amiga better than Amiga 4000T. The T stands for tower, but this computer did not stand out in Amiga history due to its format factor, as Commodore had already been selling the tower version of A3000. Rather, it was the ultimate Amiga in what many call today the "classic" series, and nothing better — or anything else for that matter — has ever been produced in the classic Amiga line since this model was released. Let us take a deep

How long it takes to know if a job is right for you or not

A few eagle-eyed readers have noticed that it’s been 4 weeks since my last entry in what I have been thinking of as my “niblet series” — one small piece per week, 1000 words or less, for the next three months. This is true. However, I did leave myself some wiggle room in my original goal, when I said “weeks when I am not traveling”, knowing I was traveling 6 of the next 7 weeks. I was going to TRY to write something on the weeks I was traveling, but as you can see, I mostly did not succeed. Oh
