Google is stepping up its AI game on desktop, with a dedicated Gemini app for Mac now in testing, and it could bring a major new capability called Desktop Intelligence. According to a report by Bloomberg, Google has started privately testing an early version of the Gemini Mac app with select users. The move is part of a broader push to compete more directly with desktop AI apps like ChatGPT and Claude, both of which already offer native Mac experiences. The current version is still early and doesn’t include all planned features, but testing suggests Google is aiming for a…

With the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung introduced a bunch of updates to the battery and charging. We got a slight bump in battery size, wired, and wireless charging speeds. After years of complaints from the fans, Samsung’s latest flagship finally upgrades the wireless charging to 25W. This was a notable jump from 15W, which was the standard across its premium lineup. But it seems like getting those speeds might be harder than expected. So what went wrong? According to a Redditor, the S26 Ultra’s wireless charging is highly dependent on specific chargers, cases, and alignment. Meaning, most users may never…

Microsoft has released PowerToys v0.98.0, a meaningful update to the popular Windows productivity toolkit.  The new batch includes a rebuilt Keyboard Manager, a new Command Palette Dock, and a significantly improved CursorWrap experience for people working with multiple monitors.  What is the new Keyboard Manager bringing to the table?

Samsung has come up with a fresh way to lure in more customers toward the Galaxy S26 series in one of its key markets. Via a press release published earlier today, the company announced a new “Galaxy Forever” programme in India.  The name might be a bit confusing, but it’s essentially an ownership or periodic upgrade program in which buyers can get the Galaxy S26 Ultra (available from $1502) or Galaxy S26 Plus (available from $1,288) by paying 50% of the device’s price upfront, spread across 12 interest-free monthly installments. The regular Galaxy S26 isn’t eligible.  What exactly does the…

The use of generative AI in Hollywood has already sparked conversation around creativity and legacy. Now, an indie movie, As Deep as the Grave, is drawing attention for bringing Val Kilmer back to the screen using artificial intelligence. Years before his death in 2025, Kilmer was cast by writer-director Coerte Voorhees, who shaped the role specifically for him. As Voorhees explained to Variety, “He was the actor I wanted to play this role. It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest.” Why the film turned…

Mozilla is rolling out a Firefox free VPN that goes after a long-standing problem with no-cost privacy tools. Many free VPNs rely on unclear data practices to stay afloat. This one is built into the browser and aims to avoid that tradeoff. It arrives in Firefox 149 starting March 24, with users in the US, France, Germany, and the UK getting 50GB of monthly data. The feature routes browser traffic through a proxy, masking your IP address and location without needing extra downloads. This move fits into a broader push around user control and safer defaults. Protections run quietly in…

Family Sharing has been a genuinely useful feature since Apple introduced it in June 2014. It allows you to share your apps, subscriptions, and purchases with up to five family members, negating the need to buy them multiple times.  Since its release, Family Sharing has received several updates, but one thing has remained unchanged. Every purchase made under Purchase Sharing is charged directly to the family organizer’s credit card, regardless of who makes it. That’s all good when children are making the purchase, but what about other adults in the family sharing the plan? This has been a quiet frustration…

If you’re planning to buy a gaming laptop with Intel’s latest chips, it might not be as simple as picking your favorite brand. As per PCWorld’s report, Intel is rolling out its new Core Ultra 200HX Plus processors in phases. Essentially, it means that some laptop makers are getting early access while others may have to wait months. That creates a slightly awkward situation for buyers, because two laptops with similar specs on paper may launch at very different times depending on which brand you’re looking at. Why are some laptops getting the new chips earlier? The staggered rollout appears…
