Google Home can’t catch a break, as Routines widget vanishes

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-23 03:10:38

TL;DR One of the widgets offered by the Google app has been a shortcut for accessing your Home Routines. In the latest Google app beta, the Routines widget is no longer available. This loss arrives right in the middle of a growing period of Google Home frustration. If you’re interested in putting together a particularly impressive smart home setup, Google Home’s Routines are probably your best friend. While getting them configured can take a minute, especially if they involve dozens of device

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-12-20 11:41:00

We’ll be delving into everything currently rumored for the iPhone 17 Pro camera, and what that’ll mean for your photos. First and foremost, the iPhone 17 Pro will likely adopt a camera-bar style design, though it’ll still follow the same triangular triple camera array that we’ve seen

Formula 1 teams can start their annual summer break today. Sometime this month, each of the 10 teams has to close its factory for 14 consecutive days. Laptops stay in the office, email goes unchecked. It all sounds very civilized for a sport where the difference between hero and zero can come down to milliseconds. As was the case at this past weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, at least in qualifying. When the Hungaroring was added to the calendar back in 1986, it was F1's first true foray behind t

If you prefer gaming on a PC instead of consoles, you should hook it up to a display that can support playing games at higher frame rates for a smoother experience.
