techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-08-21 11:47:52

Slate Auto, the electric vehicle startup backed by Jeff Bezos, has stopped promoting that its upcoming pickup truck will start “under $20,000” following passage of President Trump’s tax cut bill. The bill, which is expected to be signed into law by Trump on July 4, will cause the federal EV tax credit to end in September — a $7,500 incentive that Slate had counted to help its all-electric pickup to clear that mark. When Slate came out of stealth mode in April, the startup heavily promoted that

Google is testing a smaller, more reachable Gemini overlay on tablets

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-21 23:26:50

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a UI update for the Gemini app on Android tablets that shrinks the size of the overlay. The new overlay is about one-third the width of the screen instead of two-thirds and is anchored to the right side. This updated interface only applies to the standard Gemini experience and seems to be part of a slow server-side rollout.
