Survey shows an overwhelming number of users want Gemini on Google Home

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Google Home devices are in for a significant reform. On October 1, Google will announce Gemini for smart speakers and displays and subsequently replace Google Assistant with it on these devices. And we have huge expectations from this upgrade. Gemini has big shoes to fill. Google Assistant has shouldered the load of the entire breadth of commands intended for smart speakers for nearly a decade. However, the recent decline in Google Home’s ability to understa

Guillermo del Toro makes Frankenstein his own

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Frankenstein is one of those stories that’s been retold countless times. And yet, Guillermo del Toro has managed to make a version that not only feels true to Mary Shelley’s original, but is also imbued with the trademarks the director is known for. Maybe that shouldn’t be too surprising — when presenting the film at its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this week, del Toro explained that

Nuclearn gets $10.5M to help the nuclear industry embrace AI

Companies that have dug deep into AI have fallen in love with nuclear power for its promise of 24/7 electricity. Meta, Google, and Microsoft have all made deals with startups or reactor operators. But does the nuclear industry love AI back? Yes, with caveats. No one is proposing to let an AI run a reactor, but power companies are increasingly interested in the technology’s potential to tighten things up on the business side, Bradley Fox, co-founder and CEO of Nuclearn, told TechCrunch. Fox an

Gmail may finally alert you when someone reacts to your Chat messages (Updated: Rolling out)

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR Strings in the latest Gmail update hint at some new Google Chat features in testing. Notification summaries in Gmail might work independently of Android 16’s system-wide version, bringing the feature to more devices. Gmail may also offer auto-generated conversation summaries and finally notify you when someone reacts to your Chat messages. Update, September 9, 2025 (06:45 AM ET): Google has announced that real-time push notifications for reactions are n

Spotify’s music recommendations stink. Here’s how I made them better

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority I am a snob when it comes to music choices. I have spent countless hours in my teenage years arguing with strangers on the internet that Megadeth is overrated, or defending Nickelback from being smeared as the worst rock band ever. Now, while I’ve realized I have been wrong in imposing my music choices on others, I still maintain a high level of scrutiny when deciding which music tracks will remain in my Spotify playlists. Yes, I rely on Spotify as one of my go

CPR in space could be made easier by chest compression machines

Performing CPR on a space station in microgravity involves doing a handstand on a person's chest and pushing against the walls with your legs – but now researchers say there is a better way Researchers test a chest compression machine on a dummy in an aeroplane CNES Microgravity makes it tricky to do simple tasks like eating, using the toilet and showering, so it is no wonder that performing CPR on someone whose heart stops beating in space is an extremely demanding procedure. But a mechanical

The Last Programmers

I quit my job at Amazon in May to join a startup called Icon. Best career decision I ever made, but not for the reasons you might think. At Amazon, I was on the Amazon Q Developer team, building their AI coding assistant. You'd think being at the center of Amazon's AI developer tools would be exciting, but it was actually deeply frustrating. It was apparent to anyone outside the Amazon bubble that we were losing the AI game badly. The leadership was constantly playing catch-up because there was

Meta Whistleblowers Allege Company Buried Info on Child Safety

Whistleblowers allege Meta has suppressed research on risks for young children involving virtual reality devices and apps, including information about child predators, according to a new report from the Washington Post. The newspaper reports that Congress has received thousands of pages of documents related to Meta’s virtual reality programs, with four researchers coming forward to discuss their experiences with the company. Two of the researchers currently work for Meta, and two are former emp

These Are the Catchiest Songs of All Time, According to AI. Do You Agree?

Catchy songs have been around as long as there's been music, but what makes a song stick in our minds is still a mystery. I recently chaperoned the all-night graduation party at my daughter's high school. After hanging out at an all-games-and-rides-free arcade until 2 a.m., we took the graduates on chartered buses to a private all-ages nightclub in downtown Seattle. It boasted free unlimited fountain soda and snacks, a photo booth with props, a trivia contest, glow necklaces and, best of all, a

Why accessibility might be AI’s biggest breakthrough

While tech companies market AI as a productivity tool for everyone, a UK government study reveals an unexpected result: Neurodiverse employees may be benefiting far more from chatbots than their neurotypical colleagues. The UK's Department for Business and Trade recently released evaluation results from its Microsoft 365 Copilot trial showing that while overall satisfaction was 72 percent, neurodiverse employees reported statistically higher satisfaction (at a 90 percent confidence level) and w

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

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

Strong Eventual Consistency – The Big Idea Behind CRDTs

Strong Eventual Consistency - The Big Idea behind CRDTs CRDTs. Data structures that can be replicated across multiple nodes, edited independently, merged back together, and it all just works. But collaborative document editing and multiplayer TODO lists are just the tip of the iceberg - I believe the big application is distributed databases, and for that we need to talk about consistency. CRDTs are a tool for Strong Eventual Consistency. Let's start with the definition of normal Eventual Consi

OpenAI denies that it’s weighing a ‘last-ditch’ California exit amid regulatory pressure over its restructuring

In Brief OpenAI executives are discussing a potential relocation out of California as increasing political resistance threatens the company’s efforts to convert from nonprofit to for-profit status, according to The WSJ, though the company says it has no plans to leave. California’s attorney general is investigating whether OpenAI’s restructuring violates state charitable trust law, while a coalition of nonprofits, labor groups, philanthropies, and even rival Meta are pushing back against the c

Judge rejects Anthropic's record-breaking $1.5 billion settlement for AI copyright lawsuit

Judge William Alsup has rejected the record-breaking $1.5 billion settlement Anthropic has agreed to for a piracy lawsuit filed by writers. According to Bloomberg Law, the federal judge is concerned that the class lawyers struck a deal that will be forced "down the throat of authors." Alsup reportedly felt misled by the deal and said it was "nowhere close to complete." In his order, he said he was "disappointed that counsel have left important questions to be answered in the future," including t

NotebookLM Can Now Make Flashcards and Quizzes to Help You Study

Bluesky finally has a private bookmarking feature

Bluesky has added a built-in bookmarking feature so users finally have a way to privately save posts on the platform.

Get This Item to Make Hollow Knight: Silksong Much Easier

Hollow Knight: Silksong received a lot of hype in the lead-up to its release on Thursday. When the long-awaited title finally came out, a flood of players rushed to download it, but it appears some caught up in the hype were not prepared for the game's crushing difficulty. But there is some help for struggling players near the very start of the game. Silksong protagonist Hornet is far more agile than the Knight from Hollow Knight, especially in her diagonal downward slash. But this angled attac
