Google TL;DR Google could introduce a Gemini-powered feature called “Camera Coach” with the Pixel 10 series. Camera Coach would give you tips in real-time on how to take the best picture. It will reportedly work by analyzing the scene to provide suggestions. Capturing the best photo can be more difficult than it seems. It requires finding the right angle, the right lighting, making sure the subject is in the right spot, and the list goes on. To help improve your picture-taking skills, it app

5 Linux distros I recommend to help businesses cut costs and boost security

Without those two pieces of technology, we wouldn't have nearly the services and sites we now enjoy. But Linux isn't just a good option for servers and technology stacks.

I love the Samsung Z Fold 7, but these Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold features can win me over

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-12-14 15:25:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to launch on August 20, but it might not go on sale till October 9. It will be difficult for Google to beat Samsung in the foldable segment this year due to design differences. Unless there's an actually useful AI feature or significantly better battery life, I'll stick with my Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung turned around its foldable phone lineup at its Galaxy Unpacked event last month. After years of iterative upgrad

Key sections of the US Constitution deleted from government’s website

Several sections of Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution appear to have been removed from the official U.S. government website, as pointed out by sleuths on the internet and as seen by TechCrunch. The changes were made in the past month, according to the Wayback Machine, which shows the full original text on Congress’ website as of July 17.

The Pixel 6 Pro camera crashes when zooming, and there is no fix in sight

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR A persistent bug causes the Pixel 6 Pro’s camera app to crash when switching from 1x to 4x during a 4K 30fps video. Despite appearing as early as February and spanning multiple updates, there’s still no official fix. Customer service allegedly blames hardware, requiring out-of-warranty repairs. Although the Pixel 6 series is a few years old, the flagship phones still have plenty of life left. The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are promised to receive updates until

The Switch OLED went up in price, but you can still save $110

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-12-14 20:24:08

Nintendo recently made the unexpected decision to increase the prices of its last-gen Switch hardware due to “market conditions,” adding $30 to the cost of the $199.99 Switch Lite, $40 to the standard $299.99 Switch, and $50 to the $349.99 Switch OLED. The price difference between the Switch OLED and the standalone Switch 2 now stands at a mere $50.

Dell Premium 14 review: New name, same great laptop

Every now and then companies make truly boneheaded decisions, which is exactly what happened when Dell killed off the name of its most iconic PC line and replaced it with something generic.

Fearing that the Nazis might also discover this element’s capability of producing a chain reaction, the Manhattan Project was born in 1940, a secret program for the development of nuclear weapons led by Arthur Compton.
