Enable This iOS 26 Privacy Feature to Make It Harder for Others to Track You

Apple released iOS 26 on Sept. 15 and the update brought a lot of new features to your iPhone, but more important it included some improved privacy measures against digital fingerprinting. Everyone can benefit from these advanced privacy measures on their device. Because we do most things on digital devices these days, we may leave our digital fingerprints everywhere. CNET senior writer Attila Tomaschek told me that digital fingerprints consist of pieces of information about your device and bro

We’re about to witness a critical moment for Google Home

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-04 08:00:49

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s fair to say that Google Home is in an awkward place right now — and it has been for a while. Google’s smart home ecosystem was on a hot streak for a few years, but between stagnant hardware releases and mounting complaints about bugs and glitches, it’s easy to see why so many people have given up on Google Home. That’s precisely what I did a couple of years ago, ditching all of my Google Home/Nest speakers and displays for Amazon Alexa ones. But now it’s

IXI's autofocus glasses are one step closer to reality

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-04 09:00:00

Forget smart glasses, autofocus lenses have the potential to help far more people by offering a high-tech alternative to clunky bifocal and varifocal eyewear. Those traditional solutions involve looking at specific portions of glasses for near and far objects. While that's more convenient than swapping frames constantly, it requires retraining your eyes a bit and can also lead to eye strain. Finnish startup IXI's autofocus glasses aim to go one step further: It has developed eyewear with built-

Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 vs Gen 1: Which Smart Glasses Should You Buy?

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-04 12:00:20

It’s hard to believe, but we now live in a world where you have to account for generations of smart glasses. That’s great for variety’s sake, but for choosing which smart glasses to buy (in this case, which Ray-Ban-branded smart glasses in particular), things might get a little confusing.

Unsurprisingly, Google says a crackdown on big tech is making life harder

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google says the EU Digital Markets Act is raising prices, slowing innovation, and hurting small businesses. The company cites studies and figures suggesting travel searches are worse and new products are delayed in Europe. The DMA was partly designed to rein in big tech power, so Google isn’t a neutral voice in this debate. The European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) was written to rein in giants like Google, Apple, and Meta. You won’t be surprised to

Google asks Supreme Court to rescue it from its Epic lawsuit

Google is asking the Supreme Court to step in and pause the ruling the company received in its lawsuit with Epic Games, according to a filing the company shared with Engadget. The company is making its request following a major legal loss to Epic Games in October 2024, which required it to open the Google Play Store to third-party app stores for a period of three years. Google is asking the justices to intervene by October 17, three days before the injunction Epic won starts to go into effect.

How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral

I’m glad Pixels don’t use Snapdragon. Here’s why!

Of all the hills I’m willing to die on, this might be the one that gets the most pushback. It’s a controversial opinion, I know, but I’m going to say it anyway: I’m glad Google Pixel phones don’t use Snapdragon processors. Let me start my defense with a little analogy. Imagine that you’re in the market for a new vehicle. Your goal is to take your family on long road trips, exploring national parks and camping under the stars. You need space for people, beds, and maybe even a small kitchenette.
