Nest Doorbell owners in France and the UK report that visitor announcements have suddenly switched to a US English accent, even though every other Google Home device in their homes still speaks in their local language and accent. The glitch appears isolated to doorbell announcements within Gemini for Home, which otherwise supports ten languages and multiple accent options. One affected user says support staff suggested temporarily adding US English as a secondary language, then deleting it, as a workaround.
Apple has issued the second developer beta of iOS 27.2, arriving just five days after the first, while iOS 27.1 remains a separate track dedicated solely to the new iPhone Duo foldable.

Major American television networks suspended their rotating pool coverage of President Trump on Monday, following the removal of CNN as the designated pool network and the exclusion of CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House access last week. The move came in solidarity with the banned outlets, which have since filed a lawsuit alleging the denial of access violates their First Amendment rights.
CyberPowerPC's SLC8500WST prebuilt pairs AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor with Nvidia's RTX 5080 Founders Edition graphics card, 32GB of DDR5-6000 memory, and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, all for $2,299 at Walmart. The CPU and GPU alone typically cost over $2,000 when bought separately, making the bundled memory and storage essentially free by comparison.
BigCommerce confirmed that credentials for third-party Ribon and Ribon 1.5 apps, made by Fastr's Be A Part Of, were stolen and used to inject malicious scripts into a small number of merchant storefronts between September 13 and 17. UK retailer Master of Malt was among those affected, with attackers accessing customer names, emails, phone numbers, and shipping addresses, though passwords and payment data were not exposed. BigCommerce says its core platform and systems remained secure, and it disabled the compromised apps upon discovery.
The Czech Republic has become the seventh European country to approve Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system, with Tesla saying it will soon roll out availability to Czech drivers. Regulators based their decision on the Dutch RDW's earlier provisional approval from April, after reviewing how the system handles traffic lights, speed limits and driver attention monitoring.
Regulators concluded that Google mishandled location tracking, gathering and storing data that could expose sensitive personal details about users without adequate safeguards. As a result, the company has been fined $462 million.
Shopify has released Shopcast, a new tvOS app that turns Apple TV into a real-time dashboard for merchants. It shows sales, orders, best-selling products, and order origins across an interactive globe, with views for revenue, retail, and geography that refresh throughout the day.
A marketing analysis outlines four recurring reasons target buyers ignore campaigns even when they see the right messaging: audiences defined too broadly, content that describes products rather than buyer problems, insufficient buyer confidence to act, and marketing that answers questions nobody is actually asking. The piece recommends conducting five to ten interviews with people across different relationships to the company to spot which of these patterns applies before making changes.
A survey cited in the report shows daily AI usage among marketers climbed from 88% to 91%, yet less than half say it has meaningfully improved their results. The gap is compared to the early days of factory electrification, when productivity gains only came after work processes were redesigned around the new technology, not just when it was installed.
A management guide outlines three frequent mistakes leaders make during one-on-one meetings with direct reports, arguing that these missteps undermine the meetings' value despite their importance to team health. The piece emphasizes that effective 1:1s require deliberate preparation and structure rather than being treated as routine check-ins.
South African studio Free Lives is developing Dressmaker, a game that lets players control the entire process of creating dresses, from choosing fabric patterns to sewing and adding trims and accessories. Players can fulfill commissions for townspeople with varying tastes or design their own ready-to-wear pieces to sell. The project began as a prototype posted to itch.io in July 2025 and was officially greenlit by Free Lives that September.
