Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google has announced a new Chrome feature that allows users to easily gain insights into a store’s reputation and product quality. The tool provides an AI-generated summary that pulls data from Google Shopping and other review sites. The feature is limited to users in the US. Even if you’re a prolific online shopper, it can be difficult to figure out exactly which stores you should and shouldn’t trust. One way to do this is to check the store’s revie

Should you buy a refurbished iPad? I tried one from Back Market and here's my verdict

zdnet.com Maria Diaz 2026-01-02 10:58:08

Maria Diaz/ZDNET I'm no stranger to refurbished products. While buying refurbished or renewed isn't always my first go-to, I did purchase a refurbished 2019 Apple iMac in 2020 that still gets daily use. Buying refurbished, especially with a warranty, is a great way to save money. It's like buying a used car or secondhand furniture; you may not know the whole history, but whether it's worth the risk depends on the buyer.

Trump admin. is muffling CDC’s flagship health journal, report finds

The flagship health journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has grown quiet this year, and a report from MedPage Today indicates that a variety of actions by the Trump administration may be to blame for hamstringing the critical resource. Most strikingly, sources told MedPage that the journal's scientific articles must now obtain clearance for publication from health secretary and anti-vaccine activist Robert F.

Mysterious Petroglyphs Reemerge on Oahu Beach

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-02 15:20:46

Shifting sands have once again revealed mysterious petroglyphs on the shores of a remote group of islands. The carvings appear and disappear depending on the water current, sometimes remaining hidden for years at a time before returning like a divine omen. But they’re not (as far as we know) an auspice, and this isn’t a fantasy movie. The petroglyphs are carved in sandstone along a beach on Oahu’s west coast, in front of a U.S. Army recreation center, and could be over 1,000 years old, as first

The Directors of ‘Project Hail Mary’ Explain Why the Movie Is a PC, Not a Mac

Making movies is all about compromises. This actor is unavailable, so you cast someone else. That location is too expensive, so let’s build a set. This shot is impossible, so let’s think of something better. At every step, the big, huge mechanism of filmmaking is always a work in progress. But on Project Hail Mary, directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord tried to embrace a new philosophy. “What’s great about this movie is there are so many things that make it harder to make,” Miller said in Hall H

Android phones are unwarrantedly sleeker, significantly faster, have larger screens, and even feature cameras that, for most non-professionals, can replace a DSLR or a mirrorless camera.
