Microsoft made a free YouTube Premium workaround, but I’m keeping my paid sub anyway

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-23 08:30:43

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority A couple of days ago, Microsoft Edge’s latest Canary version added a new and very intriguing feature: video background playback. While the feature seemed cool and innocuous at first glance, we discovered that it could be used to play YouTube videos in the background without paying for a Premium subscription. Better yet, Microsoft Edge also has a built-in ad-blocker that can remove ads while watching YouTube. A plus B equal the two most useful perks from a YouT

Stable One UI 8 is finally here for one Galaxy S25 phone, the rest still have to wait

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-23 08:30:51

TL;DR The Galaxy S25 series is officially on One UI 8, starting with Samsung’s latest launch, the Galaxy S25 FE. The rest of the Galaxy S25 series will get the stable Android 16 update later this month. First off, apologies for that headline tease. I know Galaxy S25 series owners are counting the days until the Android 16-based One UI 8 update hits their phones, so this might sting a little. Yes, Samsung has finally kicked off the stable One UI 8 rollout for the S25 lineup, but there’s a twist

Galaxy S25 FE vs S24 FE: Here’s why I wouldn’t upgrade

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-23 08:41:03

It’s here. Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S25 FE, a phone that impresses in many ways and serves as an affordable alternative to the more feature-packed Galaxy S25 series. While I believe the phone is a solid purchase, the more important question for many is whether it’s worth upgrading to from last year’s Galaxy S24 FE. In short, the answer is no. The days when a yearly smartphone upgrade made sense for most people are long gone. The incremental changes between generations are simply not sign

Dymesty AI Glasses: Everyday titanium eyewear with a full AI assistant built in

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-23 09:09:16

AI-powered smart glasses are all the rage nowadays. However, despite their potential, one of the main issues with smart glasses is their appearance and feel. Most are usually big, bulky, made with plastic to keep the weight low, and have large stems to hold all the tech. It all adds up to quite an uncomfortable experience and often looks out of place. That is the most significant pain point that Dymesty addresses with its AI Glasses. Dymesty created AI glasses that professionals would genuinely

Galaxy Tab S11 revives 11-inch size as S Pen ditches Bluetooth, copies iPad placement

9to5mac.com Ben Schoon 2025-10-23 10:25:49

Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab S11 has arrived with updated specs, the return of an 11-inch size, and some big S Pen changes. The Galaxy Tab S11 series will feel pretty similar to anyone who has seen the past few generations. This year, we’re getting the usual 14.6-inch monster, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, alongside the return of a smaller 11-inch Galaxy Tab S11 that was missing from last year’s lineup.

Eufy's MarsWalker allows its robot vacuums to climb stairs

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-23 07:30:20

Eufy just introduced a couple of new devices at the IFA conference in Germany, including something called the MarsWalker. This little doodad picks up robot vacuums and carries them up and down stairs. That's pretty neat, considering stairs are the bane of any robovac's existence. The company says the MarsWalker automatically recognizes common stair types, including straight, L-shaped and U-shaped. It transports the vacuum between floors and drops it off at the base station when needed. Eufy boa

Samsung just launched the Galaxy S25 FE smartphone at IFA. It's available right now, starting at $650. The handset is available in four colorways. This is a midrange member of the Galaxy S25 family, after the company released the S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra back in January and the ultra-thin S25 Edge in May . The base-level S25 starts at $800 , so this is a slightly cheaper way to get in on all of that Galaxy action. This phone actually ships with the company's One UI 8 operating system. The o

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE ‘Fan Edition’ Is a Cut-Down S25+ For $350 Less

You already know what to expect when you see the letter FE following a Samsung product name. Short for “Fan Edition,” FE devices are a Frankenstein of components packaged together and sold for less. In the case of the Galaxy S25 FE announced at IFA 2025, the $650 Android phone has the same size 6.7-inch display as the $1,000 Galaxy S25+, while costing less than the $800 Galaxy S25.

Eufy’s Marswalker Is the First Robot Vacuum Designed to Climb a Full Flight of Stairs

Stairs are the enemy of robot vacuums everywhere. There isn’t currently a single robot vacuum on the market that can climb a flight of stairs without human assistance. Even the best robot vacuums we recommend for their ability to cross obstacles, like the Dreame X50 Ultra and Roborock Saros Z70, can only handle thresholds between two and three inches.
