With back-to-school season almost here, there's lots of pressure to make sure your kids have all their supplies on hand. However, another thing you have to look out for is potential illness. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2022, almost 6% of students aged 5 to 17 had chronic absenteeism in school due to illness, injury or disability. Even kids who don’t have chronic absenteeism can miss a day or two because they catch something in the classroom. Dr. Markyia Ni

The Apple Watch Series 11 Should Steal This One Galaxy Watch Feature

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-01 21:00:17

The Apple Watch needs to step up if it wants to keep pace with Samsung's new Galaxy Watches, and I'm hoping the Series 11 will be the one to do it. It's still one of our favorite smartwatches, but after a month with the Galaxy Watch 8, I'm finding it hard to go back to Siri. Google's Gemini AI -- which debuted on the Galaxy Watch and is now rolling out to other Android models -- is so genuinely helpful that it's spoiled every other voice assistant for me.

Drag x Drive Proves the Switch 2's Mouse Mode Controls Are Fantastic

Nintendo's next summer title -- and one of the few new games for the Switch 2 soon after its June launch -- is the multiplayer wheelchair basketball game, Drag x Drive. It uses the console's new Joy-Con mouse controls to simulate moving the wheels of your chair (or vehicle, as it's referred to in-game) while playing short three-on-three matches. While it does take some getting used to, it shows off how well this new input mode works and harkens back to an era of motion-controlled gaming made pop

I tested Preferred Sources, and it’s one of the best Google Search features in years

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-02 05:00:44

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

OpenAI adds new GPT-5 models, restores o3, o4-mini and it's a mess all over again

One of the few things many disliked about ChatGPT was the confusing number of models. OpenAI claimed GPT-5 would fix this, but it seems to have made it worse. A new update is rolling out to ChatGPT. It doesn't upgrade GPT-5, but instead adds more options that some of you would love. Previously, GPT-5 had two variants - GPT (auto-rotates between reasoning and non-reasoning) and GPT-Thinking (reasoning).
