Its published security update pages no longer place the Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, or S21 Ultra on the monthly or quarterly tracks, which is a strong sign the phones are no longer in the standard patch cycle.

The timing fits the S21’s original roadmap. The lineup launched in 2021 and has already received the four…
A magnetic phone lens add-on could be closer than expected. Leaker Digital Chat Station says magnetic lens modules have entered mass production planning, with timing still marked TBD. New context also adds a clearer picture of what this accessory might be. In a post shared by leaker Ice Universe, the most likely candidate is Xiaomi’s previously shown Modular Optical System, even though no brand is named in the original claim. That makes the direction plausible, but still unconfirmed. If the Xiaomi tie-in is right, this wouldn’t be a cheap clip-on. The description points to a magnetically attached, detachable lens system…

Alexa+ is now available to everyone in the US, and if you are an Amazon Prime member, you get it at no extra cost. Amazon has been testing Alexa+ through an early access program over the past year.

Alexa+ is a rebuilt version of Amazon’s assistant, powered by large language models from Amazon Nova and Anthropic.

Looking at photos of people wearing JLab’s latest headphones, your first thought might be: “Wow, these folks must be tiny.” But no — the headphones are just huge. Absurdly huge.

Tools like the Grownsy SniffEase Nasal Aspirator are designed to do just that. They…

Google is reportedly building a significant upgrade for its generative AI assistant Gemini that could shift it from being primarily a conversational helper to something closer to a real-life work agent. In a recent beta teardown of the Google app code by 9to5Google, developers uncovered strings pointing to a feature known internally as “screen automation”. It suggests that Gemini could soon take direct actions on your behalf inside certain Android apps, such as placing orders or booking rides, without requiring the user to manually tap through screens. While Gemini already powers conversational tasks like drafting emails or generating research plans,…
