Chrome on Android is finally making a long-awaited UI change over a year after iOS

TL;DR A browser with its address bar at the bottom of the screen is a desirable layout for mobile devices. Chrome on iOS got this option back in 2023, but has so far lacked it on Android. Today, Google finally starts giving Android users the choice, as well. Smartphones may be pocket-sized computers, but there are a million and one good reasons why we wouldn’t want to use the same exact apps we do on our full-sized machines.

OpenAI vs. ioY: Key takeaways from the new legal filings

Yesterday evening, TechCrunch reported on a series of new legal filings made by OpenAI in the ioY trademark lawsuit that led to the scrubbing of the ‘io’ brand on OpenAI’s website. The documents, filed by OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman as well as ex-Apple employees Evans Hankey, Tang Tan, and Marwan Rammah (now all at io Products), reveal as much about the company’s ambitions as they do about what it hopes to keep under wraps.

Windows 10 users can get extended security updates for 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-12 22:00:23

As we edge closer to Windows 10's end-of-support on October 14, 2025, Microsoft is throwing its more stubborn users another bone. The company previously announced that, for the first time, consumers would be able to purchase one year of Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for $30. Today, Microsoft revealed that you'll also be able to use 1,000 reward points to snap up an ESU.

400 million Windows PCs vanished in 3 years. Where did they all go?

Jeffrey Coolidge/Getty Images In today's very very long blog post (more than 2,400 words!) about end-of-support options for Windows 10 PCs, Microsoft tried to bury an unpleasant statistic. That data point is tossed off casually in the opening paragraph, as Microsoft executive VP and consumer chief marketing officer Yusuf Mehdi says, "Today, Windows is the most widely used operating system, powering over a billion monthly active devices..."

hxdbzxy / Getty Images With just a few months remaining until the Windows 10 end-of-support date, Microsoft seems to have belatedly realized that owners of tens of millions of consumer PCs running Windows 10 aren't ready to replace their old computers, and they're also not about to fork over $30 for a one-year Extended Security Updates (ESU) subscription. So today, the company waved the white flag and announced new "free enrollment options" for the ESU program, along with a description of the

Apple is known for rarely offering major discounts, especially on its latest products.
