Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google Play Services shows evidence of an in-development “App Cast” tool. While its full functionality is unclear, it appears able to gather info about remote Android devices and access their installed apps. One possibility could be the ability to remotely stream apps from one Android device to another. Google’s always working on something new for Android, and we spend a fair amount of time digging through app and system updates in the hope of getting

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

Here are the price-matching policies for Best Buy, GameStop, and others

Nothing is more frustrating than buying a new pair of headphones, an OLED TV, or a laptop just to find out that you could have gotten it for a lot cheaper somewhere else. That’s why, in order to keep customers happy and prevent them from going elsewhere, many retailers offer price-matching policies in which they promise to match a lower price found elsewhere.

Protect Yourself From Internet Pricing Traps With These Tips

Shopping for home internet can be expensive. Keep in mind the average monthly internet bill in the US is $78. However, there's nothing worse than discovering that your internet bill is increasing year over year. In some cases, your internet bill could even double or triple after a year. You might see an uptick in promotional offers from your internet provider, making it easy to fall into a web of broadband booby traps or, as I like to call them, internet pricing traps. So whether you're just sta

Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo Review: Not for Penetration

I've heard a decent amount about sex toy brand Hot Octopuss from my male friends, but it wasn’t until the Pulse Duo arrived on my doorstep that I had my first experience with its products. I was excited to give it a try because I love penis toys that both partners can enjoy. The Pulse Duo isn’t a cock ring—at least not in the traditional sense—it does help produce longer and stronger erections. More of a sleeve than a ring, the person with the penis wears the Pulse Duo while dry humping or gyra

Amazon Rebuilt Alexa Using a ‘Staggering’ Amount of AI Tools

NFC is getting a range boost

The next version of the Near Field Communication (NFC) standard aims to make it easier to make payments, pair devices, and unlock doors using your phone or smartwatch.
