Google Home is giving its cameras a more specific memory for the animals at home. Pet Memory, a new Gemini for Home feature, lets supported cameras recognize a pet by name after an owner adds that pet’s name and type in Ask Home. The update works with indoor Nest cameras and select cameras with Gemini built in. Once it’s set up, Google Home can send a tailored alert when a known pet walks through a room or shows up in camera history. Pet Memory requires the Advanced plan of Google Home Premium, so the feature is tied to Google’s paid…

Fallout 76 launched way back in 2018 (can you believe that?) and despite the longevity on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, it still hasn’t made the native jump to the current generation of consoles. Developer Bethesda Game Studios, however, will begin testing PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game this month, with plans to roll out the update sometime this Summer. This news was announced in the Infestations update release notes (that you can read here), which also explains that Fallout 76 will get PlayStation 5 Pro support. Anyone who already owns Fallout 76 will be able…

How we power our homes has become one of the most important conversations in consumer technology. Not in the abstract, policy-heavy way it used to be discussed, but in a far more personal sense. People want homes that are smarter, more resilient during outages, less affected by rising electricity costs, and increasingly capable of running more of daily life independently.  The growing interest in residential solar reflects this dramatic shift. What was once framed as an environmental decision or a long-term cost-saving measure is now evaluated through an entirely different lens. Reliability matters. Ease of ownership matters. Design matters. Integration with the rest of the connected home matters even more.  Tesla Solar Panels are engineered with that expectation in mind, bringing the same simplicity, visibility, and seamless integration…

We got another look at Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, which remakes Lara Croft’s original 1996 adventure in Unreal Engine 5, during yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play, where we also learned it’s been delayed from 2026 to February 12, 2027. Those who have visited the game’s Steam page since have discovered, however, that an “AI Generated Content Disclosure” is attached, stating that AI assets have since been replaced or refined by humans. AI has become a problem for the games industry in more ways than one. Not only is it leading to countless layoffs at studios and publishers around the world…

If you’ve ever picked up a book after a long break and spent the first few pages wondering who half the characters are, Google thinks it has a solution. Google Play Books is rolling out a new feature called Book Insights, an AI-powered reading companion designed to help readers stay engaged without leaving the page. The tool introduces a “Catch me up” button that generates a quick recap of what you’ve already read, making it easier to jump back into a story after days — or even weeks — away. No more flipping back through chapters So, instead of skimming…

Pokémon Campions is the new home for competitive Pokémon VGC, but its launch earlier this year left out some key parts of what we expected from the product. Today, we learned when two of those gaps are getting filled – on June 17, Champions comes to mobile, and the newly introduced Mega Raichu X and Y will be launching alongside it.One of Champions’ original selling points is that it was coming to both console and mobile, with crossplay between the two platforms. Ideally, you can play on your Switch at home to get the best visuals, but you can take…

Lara Croft is heading back to where it all began, but this isn’t a simple remaster. Revealed during PlayStation’s State of Play showcase, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis launches on PlayStation 5 on February 12, 2027, bringing a full-scale reimagining of the original 1996 adventure.  Developed by Crystal Dynamics alongside Flying Wild Hog and powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game aims to recreate Lara’s first expedition with the kind of scale and detail that simply wasn’t possible three decades ago. And based on the first gameplay footage, it’s shaping up to be much more than a nostalgia trip. The Lost Valley…

Insomniac offered a new look at Wolverine to open today’s Sony State of Play presentation. The new gameplay presentation shows Logan fighting his way through a group of Reavers to save a group of mutant children. If there’s one thing that the presentation makes clear right from the jump, it’s that Wolverine does not pull his punches. The entire demo is bloody, violent, and filled with brutal slashing injuries on a moment-to-moment basis. We also get a first look at one of the most integral characters from the X-Men fiction making her debut in the game, as Jean Grey shows…

Longer days, more travel, and inevitably, heavier phone usage can put any battery to the test. We’ve all been there: you’re right in the middle of a juicy conversation or recording a precious moment when your battery suddenly hits 1% with a blaring red warning. Even worse is the dreaded slow charge, where you’re forced to stay tethered to a wall or lug around a brick-like power bank that feels more like a burden than a solution. Using a portable charger shouldn’t feel like a chore. That’s the problem the INIU SnapGo Air 10000mAh Power Bank is precisely made to…
