Google has started rolling out AI Search agents that can monitor the web for users and send updates when relevant information changes. The feature was first announced at Google I/O 2026 as part of Google’s wider AI Mode overhaul, which also included a redesigned search box, Gemini 3.5 Flash, personal intelligence features, and new agentic tools for creating mini apps and dashboards. The new feature is called information agents. It is designed for searches that do not end with a single answer. Instead of checking the same query again and again, users can ask Google to keep tracking a topic…
Google may be preparing to roll out Wear OS 7 to Pixel Watch users sooner than expected. Verizon’s official support pages for the Pixel Watch 2, Pixel Watch 3, and Pixel Watch 4 have been updated with references to the next major Wear OS update, suggesting the release could be close. The pages, first spotted by Droid-Life, list Wear OS 7 alongside the June 2026 security patch and software version CP2A.260603.001. Verizon’s changelog also mentions performance and stability improvements, which is standard language for these kinds of carrier support pages. There is one odd detail. The pages reportedly mention a…
Valve has already confirmed a summer 2026 window for its Steam Machine, and recent FCC filings pointed to June 29 as the rumored launch date. Now, a new leak suggests the hardware may already be in reviewers’ hands, making the rumored timeline a lot less theoretical. According to the Steam Hardware Update account on X, Valve has already shipped Steam Machine review units to a select group of reviewers and content creators. So what is reportedly inside the Steam Machine review package? Per the leak, the hardware review embargo lifts after June 23. Shortly after that, the company could unveil…
While Hollywood has fake cities for filming movies, the FBI apparently has one for getting hacked. The agency has pulled back the curtain on its Kinetic Cyber Range, a 22,000-square-foot replica small town hidden inside its Huntsville, Alabama campus. But instead of training officers for shootouts or hostage rescues, the facility is designed to simulate realistic cyberattacks on homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure so investigators can practice responding to them in a controlled environment. The FBI built an entire town just to simulate cybercrime The indoor complex includes buildings such as homes, a hotel, a gas station, a courthouse, and…
Every time someone checks out with Apple Pay, trying to tap the card shown on the payment sheet to switch to a different one, they end up getting confused. In iOS 26, that tap does not switch your card. It opens an address-editing screen instead. The real card switcher is a different, easy-to-miss button near the bottom of the screen. If you’ve ever fumbled through Apple Pay at checkout, wondering what’s going on, Apple just fixed it with iOS 27. So what exactly was wrong with Apple Pay’s card switcher? The instinct to tap the card itself makes sense, but…
Tesla’s driver-monitoring systems are designed to ensure drivers keep their eyes on the road while using Autopilot and other assisted-driving features. But in China, some Tesla owners have reportedly found an unusual workaround: tiny plastic doll heads. According to a recent Wired report, a growing niche market has emerged around figurines and gadgets designed to trick Tesla’s in-cabin camera into believing an attentive driver is sitting behind the wheel. The most popular version involves miniature celebrity heads, often resembling actors or public figures, mounted near the rearview mirror to block the camera’s view of the actual driver. The products have…
Last month, Samsung rolled out the One UI 8.5 update to the Galaxy S25 series, but users quickly noticed that several AI features available on the Galaxy S26 series were missing. The omissions sparked confusion and frustration, with many Galaxy S25 owners questioning what Samsung’s long-term software support actually covers. Now, Samsung seems to be fixing part of the issue with the June 2026 update, which reportedly adds three of the missing Galaxy AI features to the Galaxy S25 series. The update has started rolling out in South Korea and includes the June 2026 Android security patch. The firmware has…
A familiar routine often involves decluttering your space, refreshing your habits, and aiming to carry a little less every single day. Most people strive for a lighter setup, yet one item remains a stubborn staple — the power bank. I’ve definitely been there, but it’s not a straightforward pick. They are either too bulky or too inconvenient to carry around, but if I ditch them, I am left with nothing but regret when my battery shows red. For a device meant to provide utter convenience, traditional portable chargers have a knack for creating more friction than they solve. You are…
Every time Apple released a new iOS update, people swore their iPhones suddenly felt slower. This rumor has followed Apple for years and while the company always denied it, the suspicion never really went away. With its latest iOS 27 update, I believe Apple has finally put this rumor to rest. I installed the beta on my iPhone Air, but the bigger story is what’s happening on the older models. Reports from people running iOS 27 on even older iPhones say their phones feel faster, not slower. That’s the opposite of what the planned obsolescence crowd has been claiming all…
Apple’s big glassy software future now comes with a way to make it less glassy. In iOS 27, users can adjust the translucency of the Liquid Glass effect, while macOS Golden Gate adds its own Liquid Glass controls under System Settings. Liquid Glass is still alive across Apple’s platforms, still shimmering through menus and panels, still doing the elegant UI trick Apple clearly likes. The big visual bet has already earned a dimmer switch. After a year of treating translucency like the obvious next step, WWDC’s most revealing design update may be the one that lets people dial it back.…
