I’m fed up with ads on my Google TV, so I got rid of them with this third-party launcher

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-24 17:00:39

Joe Maring / Android Authority Ever since Android TV underwent its transformation to Google TV a few years ago, I have had mixed feelings about the subsequent redesign of the home screen interface. While I appreciate the more modern-looking interface on one hand, the number of sponsored content suggestions has steadily increased over the years to the point of frustration. Simply put, I find sponsored content unacceptable after paying a fair price for the underlying hardware. And unfortunately,

Apple steps in to save decade-long Cupertino transit project

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-24 17:02:43

Recently, Apple spent more than half a billion dollars to acquire two office campuses it had already been leasing. Now, it shelled out a few million more to avoid a potential traffic disaster in its own backyard. A long-planned overhaul of the Interstate 280 and Wolfe Road interchange, the junction between Apple Park and a massive upcoming housing development called The Rise, was on the brink of being canceled due to a funding shortfall. But Apple has stepped in with a $4 million contribution

This No-Subscription Smart Ring Shamed Me Into Changing My Unhealthy Habits

As a veteran smartwatch and fitness tracker reviewer, it's rare that I get to approach a product with a completely fresh set of eyes, but that's what happened with the Ultrahuman Ring Air. This was the first smart ring I had ever tested, and in some ways, that made me the perfect person to review it. I approached it not as a seasoned biohacker, but as someone experiencing it the way most buyers would: curious, a little skeptical, and wondering whether it could replace my smartwatch. Better yet,

If in retrospect all that seems obvious, it’s only because the research by David Autor, an MIT labor economist, and his colleagues has become an accepted, albeit often distorted, political narrative these days: China destroyed all our manufacturing jobs! Though the nuances of the research are often ignored, the results help explain at least some of today's political unrest. It’s reflected in rising calls for US protectionism, President Trump’s broad tariffs on imported goods, and nostalgia for t

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority In mid-June, a Samsung official hinted that the company might soon monetize parts of the Samsung Health experience, likely by placing future AI-enhanced features behind a paywall. Personally, I don’t mind paying for a service if it adds value to my life — what’s more valuable than good health?
