YouTube Music is finally syncing your playback progress across devices

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube Music tracks listening history across devices, but so far hasn’t offered a way to resume playback directly. With YouTube Music version 8.26.51, we’re now seeing the app sync playback progress across devices. Listeners are able to continue a playlist where they left off by tapping “Resume.” It’s a fair question: How many of us are big YouTube Music fans, and how many use it because we want YouTube Premium, signed up before Premium Lite was an

Brady Hurlburt - July 8, 2025 “But Don’t All Politicians Lie?” In 2015, Angi Drobnic Holan published a wonderful article titled “All Politicians Lie. Some Lie More Than Others.” In it, she makes the case that while all politicians lie, there are meaningful differences in how often and how severely they do so. Here is the graphic from her piece: Her article resonates with me because indifference to political dishonesty is surprisingly common in my circles. In conversations with my peers, when

The Big EV Tax Credit Mystery

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-16 16:43:37

If you’re thinking about buying an electric vehicle, brace yourself: the federal tax credits that offer up to $7,500 off new EVs and $4,000 off used ones could change as soon as September 30. But here’s the real issue: Nobody knows for sure what happens next. Carmakers, consumers, and even some dealerships have been operating under the belief that a signed contract before September 30 locks in the credit. But now, some automakers are quietly admitting that the IRS has not finalized that rule.

Bandages made of medical waste cost Medicare $10B last year—limits are coming

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-16 21:52:57

Last year, Medicare spent over $10 billion on dubious bandages—called skin substitutes—that come with eye-popping prices. Some are made from medical waste, like dried bits of discarded placentas or infant foreskin, and many have not gone through rigorous testing to prove they offer any advantage over standard bandages. Yet, in some cases, Medicare reportedly paid for bandages priced at more than $21,000 per square inch. And individual patients have quickly racked up bills over $1 million just fo

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Returns With an Awkward Case of Tonal Whiplash

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2026-01-17 02:30:59

It’s been almost two years since Star Trek: Strange New Worlds left us on a tense cliffhanger, and now it’s finally back to pay it off. It is perhaps an unfair pressure to put on the show, that circumstances outside of its control have kept this return anticipated for longer than it should have. But even beyond the context of its Hollywood strikes-induced delay, there was going to be pressure on Strange New Worlds to put its best foot forward regardless.
