Forget Reddit, Google wants gamers to use the Play Store as a forum (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a new, in-app community forum for gamers within the Play Store. The feature will allow users to create posts, share tips, ask questions, and start discussions around games. We’ve been tracking a new forum-like feature within the Google Play Store for many months. Initially, the clues weren’t sufficient to reach a conclusion, so we refrained from sharing them. But now we’ve seen enough of them to preliminarily conclude that Google

As a Pixel Watch fan, here are the 3 reasons I’m excited about the Pixel Watch 4

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I’ve been a Google Pixel Watch user and fan since the original launched in 2022. I wore it every day — except when I was charging it — and then upgraded to the Pixel Watch 2 and later to the 45mm Pixel Watch 3. In the last three years, you could hardly see me without Google’s smartwatch strapped to my wrist, and for good reason. I love the Fitbit integration and the fact that I can keep my existing fitness data rolling without wearing a standalone tracker. The

Alienware 16 Area-51 Review: If Only the Display Was as Fantastic as the Mechanical Keyboard

The new Area-51 laptop feels like Alienware in a way that its most recent gaming PCs like its mammoth Area-51 desktop have not. The gaming laptop is extra: extra glowy, extra clicky, and all too over the top. The bottom panel sports a massive window where you can peer directly at the fan components. The only way you’d catch a glimpse of the rotating fans and the tint of RGB is if you lift up your laptop as if you were looking for a quarter that rolled under your dresser. The Razer Blade 18 has a

Central American Beaches Are Being Overrun With Local and Foreign Plastic

A Powerade bottle from 2001 was found on Yaya, a Peruvian beach south of Lima. A Coca-Cola bottle from 2002 was found on Robinson Crusoe Island, a World Biosphere Reserve, in Chile. These were the oldest of all the bottles collected. These discarded pieces of packaging were collected in a new macro-study that looked at the origin of plastic bottle pollution on beaches and cities along Latin America’s Pacific coastline. The research—the first to be conducted on a regional scale, thanks to a citi

Verizon wins ad battle: T-Mobile asked to take down deceptive ‘Switch and Save’ ads

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has been asked to remove misleading ads that could lead consumers to believe its plans are much cheaper than the competition’s. T-Mobile disagrees with the ruling, but said it would remove the ads in question. Verizon brought the complaint against T-Mobile’s “Switch and Save” ads, which promise 20% savings compared to “the other big guys.” An advertising watchdog has asked T-Mobile to take down its “Switch and Save” ads, ruling that the price com

AI Industry Warns That New Lawsuit Could Destroy It Entirely

Last month, a federal judge ruled that potentially millions of writers can join a copyright infringement lawsuit brought against the AI startup Anthropic. The suit, filed by three authors, accused the Claude chatbot maker of using pirated books downloaded from "shadow libraries" such as LibGen to train its large language models. Upping the ante through the roof, US district judge William Alsup said that the trio's suit can represent every single writer of the some seven million books that Anthr

8 Common Foods That Can Contain Microplastics and How to Avoid Them

Microplastics aren't just an ocean pollution issue anymore. They're now a daily life, from diet to kitchen tools. Recent research shows that common foods, drinks and food storage containers may be delivering thousands of tiny plastic particles into your body without you even realizing it. Studies estimate the average person consumes between 39,000 and 52,000 microplastic particles annually through food and beverages alone -- and when airborne particles are included, that number can climb as hig
