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.

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

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-29 20:00:30

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

This Monstrosity Gives Your Laptop Three Massive Monitors, but You’ll Hate Looking at It

CarPlay connection issues? This might explain why

If your Apple CarPlay connection randomly drops out while driving, the cause might not be your iPhone, cable, or car. Radio interference, of all things, could be the cause of your troubles. An Axios report from this year details a peculiar phenomenon in Boston, where drivers lose their CarPlay or Android Auto connection at the exact same spots. Similar “dead zones” are likely in other cities, though they may go unreported. CarPlay units don’t handle GPS navigation on their own. Instead, they

Deep within LG Display’s Paju facility, in a room most employees have forgotten exists, sits a 15-inch screen that shouldn’t be working. When engineers fired it up last month for a heritage documentation project, they expected perhaps a flicker and maybe some color degradation—the inevitable decay of organic compounds exposed to fifteen years of molecular entropy. Instead, the display blazed to life with colors so vivid and blacks so profound that the measurement equipment had to be recalibrate
