Pixel Watch 4 upgrades could include a repair-friendly design and new emergency tools

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR With the Pixel Watch 4, Google may finally introduce a new construction that’s more conducive to hardware repairs. A new Breathing Emergencies tool could detect with your oxygen levels fall too low. Google may also bring satellite support to the Pixel Watch 4 for communication during emergencies. When you’re thinking about picking up a premium smartwatch, durability is a major concern. After all, a good watch can easily go for as much as a phone itsel

This prepaid provider now supports cellular Pixel, Apple, and Galaxy Watch models

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Visible has expanded its cellular watch support to include the new Galaxy Watch 8 lineup, in addition to existing support for Pixel and Apple Watches.

Molecule produced by gut bacteria causes atherosclerosis

A team of Spanish scientists made a striking announcement 15 years ago: they were seeking thousands of volunteers among the employees of Banco Santander in Madrid: researchers wanted to study them in depth for decades, in order to understand the onset of cardiovascular disease in healthy people. The results are even more surprising. Researchers have discovered that gut bacteria produce a molecule that not only induces but also causes atherosclerosis, the accumulation of fat and cholesterol in th

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Specs vs. Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold: How Each Fold Phone Compares

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 debuted the biggest redesign the book-style folding phone line has seen thus far. The new phone has a body that's slim enough to feel like a standard phone when closed and unfolds to reveal an 8-inch display. This reimagining also comes at a higher $2,000 price, making it easily the priciest phone of its category compared with similar offerings like Google's $1,799 Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

It’s too late for a Google Pixel flip phone

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Just think about it: A Google Pixel Flip. Honestly, it sounds like my dream phone. It’d combine my favorite form factor with my favorite Android skin, and I’d never need to recommend anything else again. I’d have Google’s top-notch image processing to balance out the often-limited flip phone cameras, years of updates to look forward to, and a cover screen experience that only needs a proper app drawer to leap ahead of Samsung’s Flex Window. And yet, I can’t s

Why Google’s August 20 event could make or break its Pixel lineup

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Pixel fans, our time has almost come. Yesterday, Google confirmed that its next Made by Google event is scheduled for August 20, and it’s on this date that we’ll see Google’s latest batch of Pixel hardware. Although Google hasn’t officially said what it’s announcing, we have a good idea of what to expect. On August 20, Google is likely to announce the Pixel 10 series — consisting of the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. We should

Google will announce its next lineup of Pixels on August 20 - Here's what we know

Kerry Wan/ZDNET The date has been set: Google's next "Made by Google" event will be held on Wednesday, August 20, at 1 p.m. EST. This news comes from industry insider Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, who posted a screenshot of the invitation on X and was later confirmed by the official Made by Google account.

I replaced my boring bookshelf speakers with these slick wireless ones - and I highly recommend them

ZDNET's key takeaways SVS Prime Wireless Pro powered speakers are available now from the SVS website for $675 (regularly $900).

Pull Interactions from POSSEd Content

I just introduced a new feature on the website! 🎉 As usual, whenever content is POSSEd (Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere), you will find links to the syndicated content at the bottom of the page. Now, you will also see a small link to “toggle the interaction crawler”.

This is in line with what I was discussing a few weeks ago about webmen

Gaslight-driven development

Gaslight-driven development Any person who has used a computer in the past ten years knows that doing meaningless tasks is just part of the experience. Millions of people create accounts, confirm emails, dismiss notifications, solve captchas, reject cookies, and accept terms and conditions—not because they particularly want to or even need to. They do it because that’s what the computer told them to do. Like it or not, we are already serving the machines. Well, now there is a new way to serve

I Usually Find Android Phones Too Complicated, but the Pixel 9 Pro Is Different

CNET's key takeaways I've been using Google's Pixel 9 Pro for months. I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. Android phones often get a bad rap for being overly convoluted. And to be fair, that's often well justified. Samsung's Galaxy S25 range, for example, has deep menu systems for messing about with nearly every aspect of the phone, along with features like the Edge Panel sidebar and a variety of Samsung's

India eyes global quantum computer push — and QpiAI is its chosen vehicle

QpiAI, an Indian startup that claims to integrate AI and quantum computing for enterprise use cases, has raised $32 million in a new funding round co-led by the Indian government as the company aims to expand its presence and develop utility-scale quantum computers for markets around the world. The Indian government’s $750 million National Quantum Mission has co-led QpiAI’s all-equity Series A round, alongside Avataar Ventures, at a post-money valuation of $162 million.

Claude Code's new tool is all about maximizing ROI in your organization - how to try it

Anthropic / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Anthropic has distinguished itself from industry competitors for two major reasons: user privacy and coding capabilities. In particular, it's Claude Code's solution -- which allows users to run the coding assistant directly in their workspace to write or manage code -- that has attracted an exponential number of users. It's now a highly requested feature. Also: Anthropic's Claude dives into financial analysis. Here's what's new On Tuesday, Anthropic la

PyPI Prohibits inbox.ru email domain registrations

Prohibiting inbox.ru email domain registrations A recent spam campaign against PyPI has prompted an administrative action, preventing using the inbox.ru email domain. This includes new registrations as well as adding as additional addresses. The campaign created over 250 new user accounts, publishing over 1,500 new projects on PyPI, leading to end-user confusion, abuse of resources, and potential security issues. All relevant projects have been removed from PyPI, and accounts have been disabl

OpenAI Is Eating Microsoft’s Lunch

Microsoft has somehow managed to have another Cortana moment. Despite its AI assistant, Copilot, being built into Windows machines and compatible with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem that millions of people are stuck with, it simply cannot get people to love the in-house option. According to a new report, ChatGPT has managed to rack up about 10 times the downloads that Microsoft’s Copilot has received. Bloomberg cites data provided by Sensor Tower that found the Copilot app for iOS and Android has

The Big Beautiful Bill Is Bad for Americans’ Health and Wallets, Study Finds

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is now law, and it’s poised to wreak plenty of destruction. Research out today finds that the policy changes will lead to thousands more deaths annually, as well as harm the financial health of rural hospitals. Epidemiologists at the University of California, San Francisco, and elsewhere conducted the study. They found the Medicaid cuts caused by the Big Beautiful Bill will cause many avoidable hospitalizations and deaths, put dozens of rural hospitals at high risk of c

Most Cats Sleep on Their Left Side, and Scientists Think They Know Why

If you’re a cat owner, chances are you spend an unhealthy amount of time scrolling through your photo gallery, reviewing adorable photos of your cats for the thousandth time. While doing so, perhaps you’ve noticed that your cats appear to favor a certain side while sleeping. And if that happens to be the left side, new scientific research suggests you’re right. This could be a survival strategy for cats, according to a recent study published in Current Biology. In the paper, the researchers exp

Microsoft Is Testing Letting Copilot AI Interact With Your Whole Desktop

Microsoft has confirmed an upcoming expansion to its Copilot AI chatbot's screen-sharing abilities: Soon it will be able to process your entire desktop, not just certain parts of it. The company said Tuesday that this expansion of Copilot's Vision capabilities has begun public testing. This update, now rolling out to the company's Windows Insider program testers, will allow the AI chatbot to view, process and react to all aspects of a user's desktop, where beforehand it was limited to specific

New Pixel Watch 4 leak details even more hardware upgrades ahead of next month’s launch

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel Watch 4 is said to feature a Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 chip. Both models are expected to have a new co-processor called the M55. For the first time, the smartwatch may feature side charging. Google confirmed today that it will hold its hardware event on August 20.

Pixel 10 Will Likely Star at the Next Made by Google Event on Aug. 20

The next Made by Google event is coming on Aug. 20, where it's highly likely that the company will reveal its Pixel 10 series of phones. The announcement arrived from Google Wednesday, with a press release and invites for an event in New York. The event, like previous Made By Google briefings that have taken place in the late summer or fall, is likely to focus on Google's Pixel phones, watches, earbuds and potentially more. It's uncertain what other devices Google might show off during the even

Google finally confirms Pixel 10 launch event — here’s everything to expect

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google has set an August 20 date for its next Made by Google event. The company intends to “share the latest on our Pixel phones, watches, buds, and more.” In addition to the Pixel 10 series, we could see the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a make their debut. Every year’s new Pixel lineup is an exciting one for devoted Android fans, but 2025 is really shaping up to be something special. With the TSMC-made Tensor G5 chip, the Pixel 10 series promises to

The next Made By Google event (better known as the Pixel launch) is set for August 20

Google will host its next Made by Google event on August 20, the company announced today. In a media invite, it promised the event would feature new Pixel phones, watches, buds "and more." It's hard to imagine what other product types might be covered by those last two words, but for those who watch the industry closely, this event is likely to see the launch of the Pixel 10 flagship phones, along with a Pixel Watch 4 and new Pixel Buds. It's easy to make that deduction, especially going by pre

I'm switching to Python and actually liking it

I started to code more in Python around 6 months ago. Why? Because of AI, obviously. It’s clear (to me) that big money opportunities are all over AI these days. And guess what’s the de facto programming language for AI? Yep, that sneaky one. I had used Python before, but only for small scripts. For example, this script scrapes metadata from all videos on my YouTube channel. The metadata is dumped as a JSON file that I use to nicely display statistics of the videos on this static page.

Mark Your Calendar: New Google Pixel Phones Are Coming on August 20

Buckle up! Google is throwing a party next month. Samsung announced its new Galaxy Z Fold 7 (check out my review here), the Z Flip 7, and the Galaxy Watch 8 and 8 Classic last week, and Google is going next before Apple will likely do its annual iPhone and Apple Watch event in September. Google has just announced an event for August 20, where it will “introduce the latest addition to our Pixel portfolio of devices.” Whatever could Google be hinting at? I’m sure it couldn’t be the Pixel 10, Pixe

Google will host its next Made by Google event on August 20, the company announced today.

Between the company's invite and what came out of last year's event, expect a refresh of nearly the entire Pixel line.
