Chrome for iOS makes it easier to switch between work and personal Google accounts

techcrunch.com Aisha Malik 2026-02-04 18:00:00

Google announced Monday that it’s introducing a new feature that lets iOS users easily switch between work and personal Google accounts in Chrome. Previously, iOS users had to completely sign out of a Google account and then log in with another, and repeat this process every time they want to access a different account. “People often use their mobile device for both work and personal tasks, requiring them to sign in and out with different Google accounts,” the company wrote in a blog post. “To

Hisense U8QG TV Review: Beautifully Bright, Tough to Tame

If you’re after a crazy-bright TV, Hisense’s U8 series has you covered. In the past few years, each new U8 model has ramped up the juice considerably, with the U8QG offering another powerful upgrade over last year’s U8N (8/10, WIRED Recommends). Considering I freely referred to the U8N with words like “nuclear” and “weapons-grade,” that’s saying something.

How slow motion became cinema’s dominant special effect

About 20 years ago, a neuroscientist named David Eagleman strapped a bunch of students into harnesses, hoisted them to the top of an imposing metal tower, and then, without warning, dropped them 150 feet. Though the students landed safely in nets, the experience was—by design—terrifying. Eagleton wanted to simulate the feeling of plummeting to one’s death. His goal was to figure out why survivors of near-death experiences almost always said the same thing: “It felt like the world was going in sl

Nothing Phone 3 review: flagship-ish

Nothing says that the Phone 3 is its “first true flagship phone,” and it has put its money where its mouth is. The phone is getting a full US launch, and at $799, it costs exactly the same as a Pixel 9, Galaxy S25, or iPhone 16. That makes reviewing the Phone 3 refreshingly simple, because there are only two real questions that matter: is this as good as those three? And will it be as good as what we’re expecting from the new Pixel and iPhone models that are right around the corner? The answer
