If you constantly forget where you store important documents, Gemini’s latest update might actually help. Google will soon roll out a new Gemini feature that remembers item locations as described by you. It arrives alongside four other Android updates arriving this month as the September Android Drop.

Sports fans on YouTube TV can finally stop bouncing between apps. Starting today, ESPN Unlimited is fully built into YouTube TV, meaning you no longer need to open a separate ESPN app to catch everything it offers.

Everything ESPN Unlimited brings to YouTube TV Anyone on the main YouTube TV plan, or any plan that includes Sports, gets this automatically. That unlocks live coverage of the US Open, college football, PGA Tour golf, WWE Premium Live Events, LaLiga, and…
The Ace Combat series is riding high on the tailwind of its seventh entry’s success, and October will see Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve take off. So far, we’ve seen quite a bit about its single-player campaign, but now, the Project Aces team is unveiling its multiplayer side.For players like myself, Ace Combat has frequently been a single-player affair, centered on the campaign and missions. The options to play with friends were always there, but I rarely spent much time exploring them. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is trying to change that. Speaking to the developers at Gamescom…
If you’ve ever spent more time tweaking a design than creating it, Google thinks it has a better solution. The company has launched Google Pics, a new AI-powered design tool that lets you create posters, flyers, presentations, and social media graphics using simple prompts instead of traditional editing tools. Built into Google Workspace and powered by Gemini and Google’s Nano Banana image generator, Pics aims to make professional-looking visuals accessible even if you have no design experience. How Google Pics stacks up against Canva and Adobe Express Google Pics is entering a crowded space. Canva already has Magic Edit and…
The Total War series has portrayed numerous conflicts, both historical and fantastical, but with Warhammer 40,000, the series launches into a new frontier with space, bolters and psykers in tow. It means a lot of changes for what Total War is, but its sense of scale remains intact, alongside a little bit of carnage.I played a three-part hands-on demo of Total War: Warhammer 40,000 at Gamescom 2026, which stair-stepped me up through the layers of strategy. My personal experience with the Total War series has been frequent toe-dipping and experimenting, but never committing full-time. I love the chaos of a…
I never thought I’d type this sentence, but there’s a toothbrush that costs as much as a mid-range Android smartphone and has Wi-Fi connectivity and a built-in camera. Dyson just unveiled the CameraJet, a toothbrush that packs an actual camera and an AI detection system. It is built specifically to find and flush out the gaps between your teeth that regular brushes miss. So how does this camera toothbrush actually work? Like its other products, Dyson has made this one a high-tech engineering showcase. The company has devised something called Gap Optical Targeting. It uses a tiny 100,000-pixel camera paired…
Roku has launched its first-ever OLED TVs, the Roku Pro Series OLED and Roku Pro Series LX OLED, replacing its older LCD-based Pro lineup entirely. For a brand known mostly for budget friendly streaming hardware, jumping straight into OLED territory is a bold move, especially with pricing this aggressive. The Roku Pro Series OLED undercuts Samsung and LG The base model starts at just $999 for the 55-inch size, a number worth pausing on. Samsung’s entry-level S85 OLED currently lists for $1,499, while LG’s B6E OLED runs $1,299. Roku is undercutting both by a real margin. Roku Pro Series OLED…
Sonos has a new soundbar, and you might have trouble spotting what’s changed just by looking at it. Launched alongside the new Sonos Ace Ultra headphones, the Beam Ultra keeps the relatively compact footprint that made the Beam an appealing option for people who don’t want a giant speaker beneath their TV. Inside, though, this is a considerably more ambitious soundbar. The biggest upgrade is Dolby Atmos. Sonos has packed the Beam Ultra with nine custom drivers, including two dedicated upward-firing drivers, allowing it to deliver a true 7.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos setup. That’s a substantial jump for a soundbar this size…
Firefox users on iPhone finally get something Android and desktop users have enjoyed for a while: a real way to block ads without hunting down a separate extension for Firefox. Mozilla officially launched Ad Blocker for Firefox on iOS today, after testing it over the past few weeks. How the new ad blocker works on iOS The feature relies on Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker technology paired with the EasyList filter, which is a community-maintained list that identifies known ad and tracker sources. That combination lets Firefox strip out most third-party ads and trackers before they even load, cutting down on…
Back at E3 2018, I was invited to play a licensed game based on the old-at-the-time movie and even-older-at-the-time book, World War Z. I thought the movie was alright, I enjoyed the book, and I figured an unexpected licensed game might attract some traffic online. I took the appointment, but my expectations for the actual game were rock bottom. I was surprised, however, to play a few rounds of a game that played great and made dramatic gameplay use of the visually defining zombie masses from the film, where they would climb on top of each other to create a gruesome…
