Forget Search, these 2 Google services desperately need Preferred Sources instead

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-13 15:00:56

Andy Walker / Android Authority It seems like everyone celebrated the announcement of Preferred Sources for Google Search. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a good idea. Giving consumers more control over their internet experience is definitely the way to go. However, I find it a somewhat pointless addition to a tool I use to find a variety of sources and not merely highlight my favorites. Beyond Search, I argue that two other Google products would benefit from Preferred Sources: News and Discover. I’v

Kuo’s latest report corroborates rumors from other sources, including Bloomberg. Kuo elaborates, saying that we can expect another update to AirPods Pro next year, as Apple continues its work on adding cameras to the earbud

Over 80% of sunscreen performed below their labelled efficacy (2020)

The use of effective sunscreen can reduce the harm caused to the skin by ultraviolet rays (UV) and slow down skin aging. The Consumer Council tested 30 models of sunscreen for daily use and over 80% of them were found to perform below their respective labelled efficacy.

A Sitting President Is Making Billions Off Crypto, Which Feels Like a Bit of an Outrage

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-13 08:00:34

Before his first presidential bid, TV personality and real estate tycoon Donald Trump was doing just fine, financially speaking. The benefactor of a $5.5 million trust fund, adjusted for inflation — not to mention a $20 million inheritance from his father, split with his siblings — Trump's actual net worth has always been a hazy target for estimates. As he left office in 2021, Trump's net worth seemed to be around $2.3 billion, according to Forbes, thanks to legal fallout and a real estate port

This Robot Vacuum Has 4WD and Fast Charging Like An Electric SUV. Here’s Why It Matters

Most robot vacuums have two wheels in the back that are directly powered, though they may still have front roller that allows them to move smoothly.

Meraki Espresso Machine Review: Fine Grind, Loose Fit

In theory, you'd like your espresso machine to contain everything you need to make good coffee, including a grinder for fresh beans. But in practice, this hasn't always been the case. The classic knock on espresso machines with built-in grinders is that the grinders have often been kinda terrible. That situation is changing fast, as consumers start paying attention—and as the conventional wisdom seeps in that grinders are one of the most important components to making good coffee.
