The latest Google Pixel 6a update may limit your battery - but you'll be glad to know why

Jason Cipriani/ZDNET At least for one device, the battery problems that have plagued some Pixel phones may be ending – but the fix is coming at a price. According to Alex Moriconi, communications manager at Google (Pixel phones), Google will soon release an update that will purposefully limit the battery capacity of some Pixel 6a phones, hopefully also limiting issues with overheating.

I replaced my living room TV with this 4K laser projector for a month - and didn't regret it

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2025-10-21 20:00:20

ZDNET's key takeaways Valerion's VisionMaster Pro 2 retails for $2,999. This premium-built laser TV projects up to a 300-inch screen. It's still not ideal for brightly lit rooms (like all projectors). $2,999 at Amazon I chose the word "glorious" in the headline for this review because that word sprang to mind when I first laid eyes on the VisionMaster Pro 2 projector from Valerion -- and that was before I even plugged it in. Valerion, a sister company to Awol Vision, is just over a year old,

M3 iPad Air running iPadOS 26 Developer Beta. Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET My biggest takeaway from WWDC 2025 is that I can finally use my iPad Air to its full potential. For the longest time, the iPad has been a product that I've wanted to add to my workflow but couldn't due to its rigid operating system -- one that doesn't necessarily complement the iPad's flexible hardware.

Poop Transplants Not All They’re Cracked Up to Be

Fecal transplants have emerged as a potential treatment for a wide range of conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, and even depression. These so-called poop transplants have understandably received a lot of attention, but new research casts a bit of a wet blanket over the practice. The procedure involves taking microbes from the poop of a healthy person and transferring them into a patient’s colon. This should restore balance to their gut microbiome, but according to a study

As a professional mattress tester, I’ve seen an upward trend in the past few years of people looking into organic mattresses, toppers, and sheets.
