It happens to all of us. You hand your Pixel phone to a friend to show off a meme, and before you know it, they are swiping through your messages. Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 finally gives Pixel users a way to stop that, with a native App Lock feature baked right into the system. It’s the kind of small addition Pixel fans have wanted for ages. How does the new app lock actually work? Long-press on any app icon, and you will spot App Lock sitting alongside the familiar App info, Pause app, Widgets, and other options in the…
Emoji reactions are one of the best features of WhatsApp. They let you quickly respond to a message with a simple long-press and tap, and they come in really handy when you are in a hurry or don’t need a word salad to respond. However, one issue WhatsApp users have always dealt with is that the emoji tray was not customizable, so you were stuck with the emojis WhatsApp offered. But that might be about to change with a future update. When did WhatsApp start working on this? WhatsApp started testing a custom reaction tray on Android last month, and…

U.S. courts are set to begin publicly reporting how often federal judges authorize the government to use spyware and hacking tools to intercept real-time communications, giving the public its first standardized view of how frequently these surveillance techniques are being used. The change will begin with data collected for the 2028 Wiretap Report, which will be published in 2029. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts told TechCrunch that the report will introduce a new “spyware/hacking” category covering wiretaps conducted using hacking tools and spyware, known to federal authorities as network investigative techniques, or NITs. A new window into government…
I have been following rumors about Google’s new HiLight feature long before the company even announced its name. A few weeks ago, reports spoke about the feature as Google’s AI interface, something that glows when users speak to Gemini. Now that the company has wrapped the Pixel 11 launch event, everything’s out in the open, and one of the only two things it does is light up when you speak to Gemini. So, after all the speculations and build-up, Google’s big reveal is… basically the same thing we thought it was, and I have some strong thoughts about that. I…

Lamborghini has pushed the Revuelto deeper into supercar territory with the new Revuelto SV, adding more electric power, sharper handling and a new driving mode developed around one very specific goal: making the car more entertaining when the road gets twisty. Revealed ahead of Monterey Car Week at Pebble Beach, the Revuelto SV brings the brand’s Super Veloce badge into Lamborghini’s electrified era. Production will be limited to 1,963 examples, a nod to the year Lamborghini was founded. The plug-in hybrid V12 remains at the heart of the car, but Lamborghini has increased total system output by 50 horsepower to…

I spent some time in the internet’s fakest mall, filling a shopping cart with things I could not buy, hunting for discounts on products that do not exist, and checking out three separate times for a grand total of $0.00. Then I placed a fake food order and smoked a cigarette I could not taste, with strangers I will never meet, on a rooftop that does not exist either. My bank balance never changed, but my brain, annoyingly, did. When I first heard about South Korea’s growing “dopamine sites,” I assumed they were another internet oddity I would poke around…
Prime Video‘s library goes far beyond the algorithm-driven hits everyone already knows about. I dug through some older, quieter gems this week, ranging from the chaotic world of a New York orchestra to a burnt-out lawyer taking down corporate giants and a slice-of-life comedy that deserved a much longer run. Whether you are looking for something dramatic, funny, or deeply human, these Prime Video titles worth adding to your watchlist this weekend. We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best free movies, and the best…
