You Can Still Watch YouTube Videos Offline. These Are the Easiest Ways

There's a good chance you've used -- and uploaded content to -- YouTube. According to research from the digital marketing firm Global Media Insight, over 2.7 billion people use the online video platform every month. YouTube says over 20 billion total videos have been uploaded to its platform, with over 20 million videos uploaded every day. If you're going somewhere with limited internet or trying to conserve data -- like hopping on a plane -- you might want to download some YouTube videos to en

YouTube has a new trick to help you find what you’re looking for faster

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube is rolling out an AI-powered search results carousel for Premium members on the mobile app. This carousel may appear when you search for queries related to shopping, places, or things to do. The platform’s conversational AI tool is also opening up to some non-Premium users in the US. YouTube is getting two AI-related updates to make it easier for users to find what they’re looking for and get more information. One of these updates is exclusive for

Roku Streaming Stick Plus Review: Cheap, Simple, and Pretty

Roku has yet to disappoint me. Where other brands change form factors, interfaces, and product support with what can feel like alarming regularity even for insiders like me, Roku, with its rounded square interface, pleasantly rubbery remote controller, and joyously simple plug-and-play stick design, has held the course. When the new Roku Streaming Stick Plus arrived at my house, it felt like it was 2012 all over again. That Obama-era techno-optimism—remember when social media was on the right s

Dell announces new Premium replacement for the XPS line

After going through a controversial branding change that eliminated the beloved XPS name, Dell has launched its replacement. The new Dell 14 Premium and Dell 16 Premium Windows 11 laptops represent the high end of Dell's business lineup and offer features like Intel Core Ultra 9 16-core CPUs, NVIDIA RTX 5070 GPUs and battery life up to 27 hours. The XPS name may be gone but last year's design largely remains. Both models keep the simple and elegant wedge-like form from before, with slightly big

Dell’s new Premium laptops are here, for the XPS rebrand nobody asked for

After scrapping its XPS branding earlier this year, Dell has now launched two of the new “Premium” laptop models that are replacing it. Aside from being refreshed with Intel’s Core Ultra Series 2 Arrow Lake processors, a slightly revised Dell lid logo, and a few other spec changes, the Dell 16 Premium and Dell 14 Premium are nearly identical to the popular XPS 16 and XPS 14 that preceded them. “The new name signals a fresh chapter — one that makes it easier than ever to find the right PC while

Here’s your first look at Google Photos’ Remix video feature for photo animations (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos is working on a new Remix video that could generate videos from still images. The feature includes customizable movement styles like “Subtle Movements,” “Go Wild,” and “I’m Feeling Lucky.” Remix and Remix video features are still a work-in-progress and haven’t been announced yet.

Kodiak is using Vay’s remote driving tech in its self-driving trucks

Self-driving trucks developed by Kodiak Robotics contain some remote-driving DNA courtesy of Vay, a driverless car-sharing startup out of Berlin. The two companies, which announced a partnership Wednesday, have been working together since last year when Kodiak’s self-driving trucks began making driverless deliveries for Atlas Energy Solutions in the oil-rich Permian Basin of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. And it will play a critical operational and safety role when Kodiak, which plans to g

Incogni vs. DeleteMe: Which service removes your personal data best?

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Data removal services began to appear around 15 years ago, after data brokers realized that data could become a new, valuable currency -- and one ripe for exploitation, given the lack of laws and little to no consumer data privacy protection written into legislation. Incogni and DeleteMe, founded in 2021 as part of VPN provider Surfshark and in 2010 by Abine Privacy, respectively, are two of the most widely-known data removal services in the US. Both companies offer data remov

People Are Already Dropping Dead as Extreme Heat Scorches the US

In large swaths of these United States, people are already dying from this summer's brutal heat wave. According to St. Louis' KMOV, a 55-year-old woman was found dead in her apartment this week after her electricity had been shut off during this so-called "heat dome" phenomenon — which involves heat being trapped by atmospheric conditions, as if by a lid or a cap. Reporting from KSDK, another area broadcaster, indicated that the woman had been stranded in her apartment without air conditioning

SonicWall warns of trojanized NetExtender stealing VPN logins

SonicWall is warning customers that threat actors are distributing a trojanized version of its NetExtender SSL VPN client used to steal VPN credentials. The fake software, which was discovered by SonicWall's and Microsoft Threat Intelligence (MSTIC) researchers, mimics the legitimate NetExtender v10.3.2.27, the latest available version. The malicious installer file is hosted on a spoofed website that is made to appear authentic, tricking visitors into thinking they are downloading software fro

Making TRAMP faster

I recently changed jobs and found myself in a position where I would need to do a lot of work on remote machines. Since I am Emacs user, the most common way to do this is using TRAMP (Transparent Remote access, Multiple Protcol). TRAMP is an Emacs package that let’s you treat a remote host like a local system, similar to VSCode Remote Development Extension. I had used TRAMP before and it tended to be slow. Since I would be using it all day now I figured I should take some time to make it faster.

Remedy is trying to fix FBC: Firebreak in response to middling reviews and player feedback

Remedy has shared its plans to improve FBC: Firebreak, the new multiplayer Control spinoff, following a string of less-than-stellar reviews that criticized the game's rough early hours. FBC: Firebreak was announced in October 2024 as the first online multiplayer game from Remedy, and another pitstop on the way to an eventual Control 2. The full patch notes for Remedy's first update are available to view on Steam, but in brief, the biggest change the developer is making is to how missions are un

Social Security Is Set to Dry Up Even Sooner. That's Why I'm Not Relying on It for Retirement

Getty Images/Zooey Liao/CNET If you're banking on Social Security to fund your retirement, you may want to think twice. A new forecast from the Social Security Administration shows that Social Security trust funds will be depleted by 2034, a year sooner than initially forecast. At this time, you'll only be able to receive 81% of your benefits, reducing the amount you'll get paid. As a personal finance expert who saved enough to retire comfortably at 40, I've worked with dozens of clients to h

Risk Expert Says "Learn to Code" Is Now Worse Advice Than "Get a Face Tattoo"

During a recent exchange on "Real Time with Bill Maher," risk analyst Ian Bremmer argued that artificial intelligence has basically eviscerated the "learn to code" cottage industry. When discussing the way AI has swept the world and taken many white collar jobs with it, Bremmer referenced how rapidly the technology has overtaken the traditional career trajectory for programmers — so much so that people who used to have cushy software developer jobs are now selling their plasma to make ends meet

Google Photos’ upcoming Remix feature could launch with a video upgrade (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos’ upcoming Remix feature, internally codenamed “Bluejay,” will likely support video editing. When it launches, the feature will use generative AI to transform videos into various styles, with options potentially including “I’m feeling lucky,” “Subtle movements,” and “Go wild.” Creating AI photos and videos is all the rage these days, but many people are using AI to remix their existing photos and videos. For instance, the Studio Ghibli tr

FBC: Firebreak is missing Control’s weird charm

With FBC: Firebreak, Remedy Entertainment has entered the world of the first-person co-op shooter. Set in its Control universe — specifically the site of the first game, the brutalist nightmare office called the Oldest House — players control a member of the titular three-person team of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), tasked with addressing various containment breaches. Unfortunately, all the aspects that make Remedy’s worlds so intriguing are completely absent in this bare-bones co-op shoo

New code in Spotify’s app references the long-awaited ‘lossless’ tier

It’s been over four years since Spotify first announced its plans to launch a lossless audio tier that has yet to arrive. After numerous leaks and teases from company execs, we know better than to start hoping that the long-delayed service could be finally nearing arrival. But newly added references in the music app’s code suggest the lossless service is at least still under development and could even be getting closer to launch. According to technologist and reverse engineer Chris Messina, a

Russell T Davies Is Remaining Vague About the Future of ‘Doctor Who’

As Doctor Who‘s ongoing future remains in flux (no, not that flux), fans remain waiting to hear for any sign that news on the security of that future is on the way. Well, in its latest development, there’s good news and bad news: but in the middle of that is the fact that all of this still remains so vague that you’re free to take it however you want. Writing in the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine in his monthly production column (via Cultbox), showrunner Russell T Davies confirmed that he

Nothing says an Essential Space premium tier could be in the cards in the future

In the interview, Pei describes the code we found as “zombie strings” that were left there during development. He adds that in its current form, Essential Space will remain free. However, he doesn’t rule out the possibility of a premium tier being added in the future: So I think that’s what happened, somebody got their hands on an older version of the APK and they decompiled it and saw that there [were] some strings related to charging for Essential Space. That was never in the production softw

Best Internet Providers in Fremont, California

What is the best internet provider in Fremont, California? CNET recommends AT&T Fiber as the best internet provider in Fremont. It’s the only fiber-optic option in the area with symmetrical speeds, no equipment fees and steady pricing. AT&T also offers the fastest internet in Fremont with speeds of up to 5,000Mbps. Plans start at $55 per month. For the cheapest internet, RobinsonHSS offers a $25 per month plan, but it only provides 10Mbps speeds, so it may not be fast enough for households loo

FBC: Firebreak: 9 Beginner Tips to Survive Your First Shift

So you've volunteered to be a Firebreaker, and now you're staring down a paranatural threat with only a glorified super soaker in your hands. It happens to the best of us. FBC: Firebreak is developer Remedy Entertainment's first crack at a live-service multiplayer game. It's a Left 4 Dead-like horde shooter set in the Oldest House (from Control), an ever-shifting building that contains the world's foremost paranatural threats.

June’s Game Pass additions include Remedy co-op shooter FBC: Firebreak

Microsoft’s Game Pass is having a very impressive 2025 where the quality and cadence of releases is concerned, and things are showing no signs of slowing down as we settle into the summer months. Highlights of the June lineup include co-op FPS FBC: Firebreak, which joins the service today, Sloclap’s highly-anticipated soccer game, Rematch, and a trio of Warcraft remasters. Let’s start with probably the most significant addition. Back in May, Engadget’s Jessica Conditt got to play Remedy’s FBC:

Borderlands 4 recommended specs call for an RTX 3080 and 32GB RAM

A hot potato: Now that people are no longer angry over Borderlands 4 possibly costing $80 (it's actually $70 for the standard edition), something else is causing plenty of outrage: the game's PC requirements. Asking for an RTX 3080 as the recommended GPU does seem excessive, and even the minimum specs are higher than expected. Borderlands 4's system requirements on its Steam page are certainly higher than one would expect. Even the bare minimum requirements, where we usually see ancient and/or

I Played FBC: Firebreak and It's No Fun Going on the Game's Dark Missions Alone

I'm hours into my second night of matches before FBC: Firebreak starts to make sense. I've got two other players in my squad, each with a different kit of equipment and weapons, as we fight off hordes of enemies while doing odd jobs around our haunted office building. After several missions, we've finally learned the game's atypical approach to team combat and how to back each other up. But one thing is clear: If you don't want to cooperate, this game isn't for you. The newest game from Alan Wa
