Gemini will remember more (or less) of what you say

Google is adding a temporary chat feature to Gemini. The equivalent of a browser's incognito mode, it lets you have one-off AI chats. They won't appear in your history, influence future chats or be used for training. The temporary chats will be saved for up to 72 hours. Google says this is to give you time to revisit the chat or provide feedback. The feature begins rolling out today and will continue to do so over the coming weeks. It arrives alongside a new setting that does, well, pretty muc

Nginx Introduces Native Support for Acme Protocol

We are very excited to announce the preview release of ACME support in NGINX. The implementation introduces a new module ngx_http_acme_module that provides built-in directives for requesting, installing, and renewing certificates directly from NGINX configuration.

NGINX’s native support for ACME brings a variet

Scientists Unveil Wild New Way to Explore the Edge of Space

Scientists often refer to the mesosphere as the “ignorosphere”—a region that’s too high for planes or weather balloons to explore, yet too low for satellites to probe. Despite our technological advances, we’ve yet to find a decent way to monitor this large stretch of air, which lies about 37 miles (60 kilometers) above the surface. But engineers are inching towards a solution—one inspired by a toy-like invention from the 19th century. A Nature paper published today presents a proof-of-concept f

Google Will Let You Pick Your Own News Sources for Searches

Perhaps in response to suggestions that its Search functions have degraded, or been usurped by AI summaries that not everybody wants, Google will now let you select news sources to narrow things down. The company said in a blog post it's launching Preferred Sources in the US and India over the next few days and it's added a plus icon to the right of Top Stories in searches. Clicking on that plus symbol allows you to add blogs or news outlets. There doesn't appear to be a limit on how many sourc

As of today, Claude is capable of referencing information from your other conversations with the AI chatbot.

This Is the New Pebble Smartwatch, and Yes, It’s Now Called Pebble Again

After more than a decade, the Pebble smartwatch is back, and it already looks enticing for those of us who can’t be bothered with today’s health data-obsessed, sensor-filled, and all-too-weighty wearables. The company behind the revitalized watch shared its final designs for what’s coming, and it may be the simple smartwatch we’ve been missing since 2016. Last month, original Pebble designer Eric Migicovsky reported that his new company, Core Devices, was able to recover the Pebble trademark, m

Tony Robbins and Peter Diamandis’ longevity company Fountain Life raises $18M

Eight years ago, orthopedic surgeon Dr. William Kapp attended a medical conference that changed his professional life. He had gone from a private-practice doctor to co-founding a company that built critical care hospitals to then selling that company. It gave him an interest for both sides of healthcare: the medicine and business sides, he told TechCrunch. So he went to the annual conference hosted by famed physician-scientist Dr. Daniel Kraft to learn about new tech that could improve results

watchOS 26 preview: It's the little things

At WWDC 2025, Apple announced it was replacing the sequential numbering for OS versions and with year numbers. So instead of watchOS 12, I’ve spent the past two weeks with the public beta of watchOS 26. The naming scheme shift is subtle, but helpful — which is how I’d describe the upgrades the new software brings to the Apple Watch. The AI-powered Workout Buddy better contextualizes your Fitness data and an added gesture gives the watch a fun trick that’s actually helpful. Other upgrades — inclu

‘This Was Trauma by Simulation’: ChatGPT Users File Disturbing Mental Health Complaints

With about 700 million weekly users, ChatGPT is the most popular AI chatbot in the world, according to OpenAI. CEO Sam Altman likens the latest model, GPT-5, to having a PhD expert around to answer any question you can throw at it. But recent reports suggest ChatGPT is exacerbating mental illnesses in some people. And documents obtained by Gizmodo give us an inside look at what Americans are complaining about when they use ChatGPT, including difficulties with mental illnesses. Gizmodo filed a F

OpenAI brings back GPT-4o after user revolt

On Tuesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that GPT-4o has returned to ChatGPT following intense user backlash over its removal during last week's GPT-5 launch. The AI model now appears in the model picker for all paid ChatGPT users by default (including ChatGPT Plus accounts), marking a swift reversal after thousands of users complained about losing access to their preferred models. The return of GPT-4o comes after what Altman described as OpenAI underestimating "how much some of the things t

Twelve South’s 120W charger with Apple Find My support is nearly half off

It’s not every day you come across a wall charger that can both power and help you keep track of your devices, but that’s the beauty of Twelve South’s 120W PlugBug. The slim wall charger with four USB-C ports can double as a location tracker when needed, and it’s currently on sale at Amazon for $67.12 (about $53 off) when you clip the on-page coupon. This is a new low price for this high-end configuration. Although the 50W variant was recently on sale for just $19.99, it’s since increased to $5

Pebble reveals Time 2’s refreshed metal design, shares specifics about the display

Core Devices TL;DR Pebble has revealed the design of its upcoming Time 2 smartwatch. Like the older Pebble Time Steel, the Time 2 also comes with a stainless steel body and metal buttons. It features a 1.5-inch colored e-paper display and is expected to start shipping in January 2026. The beloved barebones Pebble smart fitness trackers are set for a comeback in 2025 after more than eight years of being discontinued. Back in January this year, Pebble’s founder and ex-CEO Eric Migicovsky annou

Mercedes-Benz Vision V Concept: Is this the solution or a sideshow?

An orange tint of smoke in the air always contributes to dramatic lighting for sunrise photos in Los Angeles. But this early in the fire season, the coloring serves as an inescapable reminder of greenhouse gas emissions and the mobility solutions that might reduce or at least slightly mitigate the future of radical weather crises. It's fitting, then, that a massive 75,000-acre fire burns in Santa Maria, in addition to a small brush fire on the 110 freeway less than a mile away as I visit the Ely

10 Best Computer Monitors (2025): Budget, OLED, 4K

Once you've decided on a size, there are a number of other important aspects of your next monitor to consider. Some of these factors may matter more for certain uses—for example, gamers generally care more about higher frame rates than office workers do—but they're all handy to know going in. Resolution: The bigger the monitor, the more it will benefit from higher resolutions. That will allow you to have app windows that take up less space but are still legible. Most monitors today are typicall

Coffee Grinders Used to Be a Mystery. A New Device Might Solve It

I don't mean to be dramatic when I say coffee grinders are both the biggest mystery in coffee, and also coffee's biggest hive of technological invention. If you find yourself in the online rabbit holes of the coffee world these days, you'll almost certainly encounter a bean geek eager to tell you a secret. The secret is that your coffee grinder is more important to how your coffee tastes than your drip brewer, and also more important than your espresso maker. This idea makes some sense. Just l

Drag x Drive is more drag than drive

When Nintendo announced Drag x Drive, a Joy-Con mouse-controlled wheelchair sports game, for the Switch 2 I was tentatively excited. I have a lot of time for developers trying new things, and sports video games are hardly replete with disability representation. Having been hands-on with the game, however, Drag x Drive has left me baffled and in significant pain. As a “driver” — wheeled robots that come in three mostly indistinct flavors: guard, center, and forward — Drag x Drive has you play pi

If you’re tired of bad Google Search results, here’s how I finally fixed mine

Joe Maring / Android Authority When we talk about Google Search in 2025, it’s usually not for a good reason. AI Overviews are more prevalent than ever, despite still not being particularly good. Google widely rolled out (the very flawed) AI Mode to users in May, and the traditional Google Search experience remains cluttered with ads and low-quality results. This has made me (understandably) hesitant when Google launches a new feature for Search, but the company’s latest one — Preferred Sources

Should we get the option of a round Apple Watch and more? [Poll]

No, I get it: round watches are a very inefficient use of space, and there is likely a reason that the Apple Watch continues to dominate the market. But what a new piece argues for is not to replace the existing Apple Watch design, but instead to offer us a greater range of options … It’s not coincidence that Apple chose a rectangular display for the Apple Watch. This clearly offers the most efficient use of space, allowing some info-dense faces alongside simpler ones. If we ignore the frankl

Nomad’s Glow 2.0 Apple Watch bands is back – limited time

My absolute favorite limited-edition Nomad Apple Watch band is back in stock for a limited time. Last year, Nomad’s limited-edition Glow in the Dark Sport Band for Apple Watch sold out in just one day. The company followed it up with the improved Glow 2.0 Sport Band which improved on the product. Those also sold out quickly. Here is what you should know. Nomad Glow 2.0 for Apple Watch My go-to recommendation for a non-Apple Watch band has always been Nomad. They have the highest-quality Apple

Why Perplexity is going after Google Chrome - and yes, it's serious

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Perplexity makes $34.5B bid to buy Google's Chrome browser. Deal would give Perplexity a gateway to the AI-driven web. Perplexity's bid could spark a bidding war. When the Wall Street Journal broke the news that AI company Perplexity made an unsolicited all-cash offer of $34.5 billion to buy Google's Chrome browser, some people asked me, "Are they serious?" Oh, yes, it is. Also: 5 reasons why I still prefer Perplexity over every other AI c
