Google pulls the Pixel 10’s Daily Hub to ‘enhance its performance’

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-10-11 23:50:45

If voice translation is halfway between a helpful feature and a gimmick, then Daily Hub leans even further into gimmick territory. It’s a lot like the Now Brief Samsung introduced on its S25 phones, and it’s supposed to act as a quick digest for your day as well as a place to find some inspiration based on your recent activity. It does the first part of that job just fine; it’s maybe a more longwinded version of Google’s At a Glance widget, which gives you a heads up on the weather and upcoming

Smart Launcher has a message for grieving Nova Launcher users

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-11 22:15:36

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority TL;DR The team at Smart Launcher has reached out to Nova users, promising them a new, familiar home. The launcher has some of the same features as Nova, and the team is also working on supporting backup imports from Nova. The Android community is still coming to terms with the loss of Nova Launcher, one of the best customization tools that’s been around for over a decade. But as Nova’s story comes to an end, another launcher is stepping up to welcome users

The elegance of movement in Silksong

This is an article about Silksong, the new game from Team Cherry / the much awaited sequel to Hollow Knight. You may have heard of it even if you aren’t in the gaming sphere, because so many people were trying to download the game on release that virtually all digital marketplaces buckled under the load. But before we talk about Silksong, I want to start by talking about the startup world. One thing that may not be obvious for people who are not in the startup world is that building a consumer

Contracts for C

C++ seems to finally converge with their contracts proposal, https://wg21.link/p2900. I decided to give it a try and come up with ideas how such a thing would look for C. This is in early stages, not a full proposal yet, and still would need implementation by some of the major compilers. In particular, the C++ feature is full of sidetracks that I don’t like at all, such as user-defined global handlers and ignorability. But there is a core of ideas, syntax and semantics that I found interesting

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. IFA is Europe's largest consumer electronics show, and this year was no different.

Sam Altman says that bots are making social media feel ‘fake’

OpenAI Says It's Making a Full Hollywood Movie Using AI

OpenAI has teamed up with production companies in London and Los Angeles to create a feature-length animated movie made largely with artificial intelligence. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the purported goal of using AI tech on the movie is to speed up production while also saving costs — and, presumably, serving as a giant tech demo for movie execs everywhere. The film will invite comparisons to the early days of CGI-animated movies in the mid-1990s. Funded heavily by Apple cofounder Ste

‘Sherlock Holmes’ May Get the Animated Treatment From a ‘Shrek’ Producer

Here’s a duo you don’t expect: Sherlock Holmes and Shrek. There won’t be any content crossover if a new animated Sherlock Holmes series—tentatively titled Animated Sherlock—gets off the ground, but the shared behind-the-scenes interests are there. Also of note, the series wouldn’t adapt the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle source material but rather a novel series that puts a more risque twist on his classic tales.

Review: Anker’s new MagSafe battery bank truly delivers in its ultra-slim package

I’ve spent my fair share of time with it, and the new Anker Nano Power Bank is honestly everything you’d want out of a MagSafe battery bank.

Something Crucial Didn’t Happen in the Gulf of Panama This Year

The Gulf of Panama has experienced an annual wind-driven oceanographic phenomenon called upwelling for at least as long as records of it have existed. In 2025, however, seasonal upwelling failed, and the consequences could be drastic. In a study published Tuesday in the journal PNAS, a Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute-led team suggests that weakening trade winds caused upwelling to fail in the Gulf of Panama this year for the first time in at least four decades.
