Android 16 will make it easier to find your recent apps with a new taskbar overflow feature

TL;DR An upcoming Android 16 update will add a taskbar overflow button to improve app switching on tablets when many apps have been recently opened. Tapping the overflow button will open a horizontally scrolling carousel that displays previews of your recent apps. This feature is set to launch later this year with either Android 16 QPR1 or QPR2. Back in 2021, Google added a taskbar to Android to improve app switching on tablets. Since then, the company has made several improvements, such as a

Google may declutter Gemini’s compose box with a new Tools button (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The Gemini interface on Android may soon get a new tools button for Gemini’s Canvas, Deep Research, and Video tools. Currently, shortcuts for these tools appear within the text box next to the microphone and Gemini Live buttons. With an upcoming update, Google may replace these shortcuts with a single “Tools” button. Google is prepping a minor tweak for the Gemini interface on Android to give it a cleaner look. We’ve spotted the change in the latest Goog

Samsung could shake up its audio lineup with two new earbuds (APK teardown)

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is likely working on two new earbud models: the Galaxy Buds Core and the Galaxy Buds 3 FE. The Galaxy Buds Core may succeed the Galaxy Buds FE, potentially skipping the “Galaxy Buds 2 FE/Galaxy Buds FE 2” name. Based on the model numbers, the Galaxy Buds 3 FE could further extend the lineup even though the Buds 2 FE don’t exist. Samsung makes some great earbuds that complement Galaxy devices very well. The last new product launched in the Gala

Forget AGI - Meta is going after 'superintelligence' now

Chesnot/Getty Images The most powerful tech leaders in Silicon Valley have been racing to build artificial general intelligence (AGI), a theoretical computer that, as some would define it, can outperform humans across every economically valuable task. Also: Apple's Goldilocks approach to AI at WWDC is a winner. Here's why Some leaders have their sights set even higher, on artificial "superintelligence," a system that's unfathomably more intelligent than human beings, so much so that our compa

Apple WWDC 2025 Live: Liquid Glass Design Takes Over iOS 26, MacOS, CarPlay and More

Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET The Camera app in iOS 26 is nearly bare, populated primarily with a shutter button and a switch to toggle between Photo and Video modes. It's the one app so far where I imagine Apple's designers said, "Let's do Liquid Glass, but even less." And from a visual standpoint, I get the appeal: You want to be absorbed by the photo you're about to take, not distracted by the controls around the periphery. But I'm admittedly wary of the fact that, without any cues

I Want Workout Buddy to Be More Boot Camp Trainer Than Cheerleader on the Apple Watch

I was expecting, and hoping, Apple would launch some kind of AI-powered health feature on the Apple Watch at WWDC 2025, but Workout Buddy wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I'm the kind of person who spoils any and all surprises by reading the last page of a good mystery novel, or the finale synopsis of a Netflix whodunit before I've even gotten through the pilot. So I went into WWDC, Apple's annual developers conference, having read all the rumors, feeling pretty confident that I knew most of

WHO Monitors New Covid Variant Spreading in America and Europe

A new Covid variant is being kept under surveillance by the World Health Organization (WHO) as its emergence has led to an increase in infections in several regions of the world. First identified at the end of January, the variant—called NB.1.8.1 but known informally as “Nimbus”—is a descendant of the Omicron family of Covid sublineages, and has become increasingly prevalent throughout the spring in Europe, the Americas, and the Western Pacific. The virus has mutations that may increase its inf

The best Nintendo Switch controllers to buy right now

The Nintendo Switch 2 is here, but we can’t just forget about the original Switch. We’ve still got love for the console, and its many millions of owners, so we’ll keep recommending the best controllers for the Switch right here. Now, you may already know that the best Switch controllers aren’t the ones that come with the console. The removable Joy-Cons included with all non-Lite Switch consoles are convenient, given they can be detached for wireless use, but their tiny shape doesn’t do them man

Yocto, RockPi and SBOMs: Building modern embedded Linux images

21 FEB • 2025 8 minutes TLDR: I wanted to generate an up-to-date disk image for a Rock Pi 4 using Yocto that included CUPS and Docker to both get a better understanding of Yocto and test the new SBOM generation feature. As with many single-board computers (SBCs) from China, the issue often isn’t the board itself but rather the software. RockPi from Radxa is no exception. If you go and download the latest disk images for this board, you will notice that they are all end-of-life (EoL). However,

Best Earbuds and Headphones for Working Out in 2025

Soundcore by Anker Sport X10: The Soundcore Sport X10 have an interesting design with rotating swiveling ear hooks that flip up when you're using them and flip down when you want to set them in their charging case, which has a smaller footprint than a lot of buds with ear hooks. As long as you get a tight seal, they sound good, with powerful, punchy bass and good detail. They also have active noise canceling, which is effective though not as good as Sony's or Bose's noise canceling. They're also

Users can now sign up for Meta's Community Notes on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads

In brief: Meta has announced that it is now accepting sign-ups for Community Notes, the feature that is replacing third-party fact checkers. Much like the X version that inspired it, Meta's Community Notes allows users on the company's platforms to decide if a post is misleading and add more context. At the start of January, just as Donald Trump's inauguration was approaching, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta's third-party fact checkers had become too politically biased and destroyed mor

The cyber insurance reckoning: Why AI-powered attacks are breaking coverage (and what comes next)

This article is part of VentureBeat’s special issue, “The cyber resilience playbook: Navigating the new era of threats.” Read more from this special issue here. Today’s cyber attacks can be paralyzing — and extremely costly — for modern enterprises. Armed with AI, hackers are exploiting vulnerabilities faster than ever. However, standard business insurance products such as general or professional liability policies (errors and omissions, or E&O) typically don’t cover losses or damages as the r

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro charging flaw leaves users with one dead earbud

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Multiple Galaxy Buds 3 Pro owners claim to be experiencing an issue where one of their earbuds isn’t charging. It appears this issue has been a common one for the last few months. Some users have found a temporary solution. When Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro last year, there were a few hiccups in the quality control department. The tech giant even had to temporarily suspend shipments at one point. While some issues have been fixed since then, it

Google's Pixel 9 Pro is $200 off, plus the rest of the week's best tech deals

The Pixel 9 Pro is the top Android pick in our guide to the best smartphones, and we gave it a score of 94 in our review last year. It has just about all the key features we've come to enjoy from the Pixel series: top-notch cameras, a handsome design and a (relatively) clean version of Android that's guaranteed to receive updates until 2031. Its 6.3-inch OLED display is appropriately vivid and supports a fast 120Hz refresh rate, while its Tensor G4 chip and 16GB of RAM keep everything running sm

Captain America: Brave New World Always Had a Bucky Cameo

If someone took bets on which, if any, Avenger was going to appear in Captain America: Brave New World, the odds-on favorite would be Bucky. Bucky, played by Sebastian Stan, and Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, have a Marvel bromance going back almost a decade to the third Captain America film, Civil War. They’ve faced off ever since and, of course, appeared together in 2021 Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So when Bucky shows up at a crucial point in the new film it’s a s

Best Noise-Canceling Headphones for 2025

Google Pixel Buds Pro: The Pixel Buds Pro are Google's first earbuds to feature active noise canceling. While it's nice that they finally have a feature that a lot of true-wireless earbuds have had for a while, what ultimately sets the Pixel Buds Pro apart and makes them worth considering -- particularly for Android users -- is their distinct design and winning fit. That helps enhance their performance on both the sound quality and noise-canceling fronts. While not quite elite for voice-calling,

How to make the most of the iPhone's Action Button

The Action button is available on nearly every iPhone Apple sells, offering a quick way to access a feature, app or shortcut on your phone, just by pushing a button. It can be a flashlight, activate a smart home routine or let you access any number of custom shortcuts without having to unlock your phone and pick through apps. Apple added the Action Button on the iPhone 15 Pro as a replacement for the iPhone's original Ring / Silent switch, and it was an acknowledgement of sorts that lots of peo

Explorers Discover First Pharaoh Tomb in Over 100 Years

A British-Egyptian team of researchers has discovered what it says is the first pharaoh's tomb in over a century. As the BBC reports, the team discovered the tomb of King Thutmose II in the Western valleys of the Theban Necropolis, near Luxor, Egypt. "It is an extraordinary moment for Egyptology and the broader understanding of our shared human story," said Egypt's minister of tourism and antiquities Sherif Fathy in a statement. It must've been an extremely moving moment for everybody involve

Why you really shouldn’t buy this iPhone

Apple remixed the 2025 iPhone lineup this week, outdating all existing buying advice until September. That’s when we expect the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and new ultra-thin version likely called iPhone 17 Air. Between now and then, however, there’s one piece of buying advice everyone should hear first. Apple’s current iPhone lineup looks like this: There’s the iPhone 16 Pro from $999, the iPhone 16 from $799, the iPhone 16e from $599, and the iPhone 15 from $699. From most expensive to most af

You can now sign up to be a contributor to Meta's Community Notes feature

After announcing its plan to end third-party fact-checking in January 2025, Meta's crowdsourced replacement is finally starting to take shape. You can now join a waitlist to be a Community Notes contributor on Facebook, Instagram and Threads when the feature rolls out in the coming months. Contributors are expect to provide context via a note when a post on one of Meta's platforms "might be inaccurate or confusing," according to the company's sign-up page.

Switching to LED lightbulbs saved me hundreds of dollars - but there are 5 other reasons to do it

Vladimir Sukhachev/Getty Images As a kid, I was inspired by the decorative lighting in my grandparents' finished basement. They had festooned the place with multicolored C9 string lights (aka old-school Christmas lights) from wall to wall, beneath the built-in wet bar, around hanging mirrors, and anywhere else they could add an ambient accent for the parties they hosted down there year-round. Since then, I've festooned every home I've lived in with decorative lighting, whether in a sequestered

Before the Cult TV Show, the Buffy Movie Proved How Fun Slaying Monsters Can Be

Buffy the Vampire Slayer may soon make a TV comeback with Sarah Michelle Gellar—and the cult-classic series will always be the most beloved version of Buffy’s story. But in 1992, five years prior to fans becoming obsessed with Sunnydale and the Scoobies, a different version of Buffy’s story hit the big screen. The same broad strokes are there; the script is by (now-disgraced) Buffy series creator Joss Whedon, and it follows a chipper blonde named Buffy saving the world from monsters. But it’s go
