YouTube Premium got harder to justify after its recent price hikes, and YouTube Music Premium also followed soon after. But Google now has a new way to make the bill sting a little less. The Gemini team just announced a bundle deal that lets users get 50% off YouTube Premium for a whole year. But while this sounds solid on paper, this is not a no-strings-attached promo deal. How do you avail this half-off deal? This limited-time offer is available for users in the U.S., Brazil, Canada, Germany, France, or Japan and ends April 29. 🎁⏳ Discount offer for 12-months,…
Netgear has become the first clear exception to the FCC’s foreign-made router ban, giving it room to keep launching new consumer routers in the US even though its hardware is built overseas. The policy has already started to cloud the outlook for several router brands, especially those still waiting to learn how the FCC will handle future approvals. The approval runs through October 1, 2027 and covers a broad range of Netgear gear, including Nighthawk and Orbi models, plus some cable gateways and modems. The FCC said the Defense Department reviewed Netgear’s request and found the products did not pose…
I will be blunt here. I hate YouTube Shorts. Not only is it a time sink, but it’s also a brainrot time sink that makes you feel bad afterwards. Thankfully, with a new update that YouTube is rolling out now, you can finally nuke this from your feed. The feature builds on a Shorts timer YouTube first announced back in October, which let users set a daily scrolling limit anywhere between 15 minutes and two hours. Once you hit your limit, YouTube would prompt you to stop. You can now set your Shorts timer to zero minutes, which effectively wipes…
More than 100 Chrome extensions have been tied to a sprawling campaign that harvested identity data, opened backdoor-style browser behavior, and in one case pulled live Telegram Web session data. Researchers linked 108 add-ons to the same control network, with about 20,000 installs logged across the Chrome Web Store when the findings were published. What makes this one hit harder is the range. The extensions showed up as Telegram tools, slot and Keno games, translation utilities, YouTube and TikTok helpers, and basic page tools, which helped the operation blend into the kind of stuff people install without much thought.

Nissan has officially taken the wraps off the next Juke, and it looks like the company is embracing some quirkiness for its design. In official material published by Nissan, the all-new third-generation Juke has been revealed as a fully electric compact crossover for Europe. Nissan says this is the first-ever 100% electric Juke, that it will be built on the CMF-EV platform, and that production will take place at the company’s Sunderland plant in the UK. The launch is planned for 2027, making this one of the more important pieces of Nissan’s European EV push. Why this Nissan EV caught…
Nvidia rumors are once again pointing to a strange new memory strategy for a refreshed GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, and this one sounds equal parts clever and awkward. According to Wccftech, citing a post from the Chinese Board Channels forums, Nvidia is reportedly preparing a new GeForce RTX 5060 Ti variant with 9GB of GDDR7 memory instead of the current 8GB baseline. The same report says the standard RTX 5060 could get a similar 9GB version as well. How Nvidia is doing something weird with the RTX 5060 Ti The heart of the rumor is Nvidia’s supposed shift to 3GB…
Sony fans hoping for a cheaper way into the next console generation may need to lower their expectations. The latest PlayStation 6 talk points away from a true PS6 Lite, even as fresh speculation keeps circling around a more affordable entry point for Sony’s next hardware lineup. The problem isn’t just cost. The hardware now being discussed for a handheld setup doesn’t sound like a natural fit for a living room console that has to look good on a 4K TV. A chip designed around lower power and a smaller screen creates a very different target from the one most…
Honor is gearing up to launch the Honor 600 series next week, and while the hardware specs look promising, the software may be the real star of the show. Building on the foundation laid by the Honor 400 series, on which users generated over 13.4 million seconds of AI video, Honor is set to debut an upgraded version of its AI Image to Video feature with the upcoming devices. On-device AI for better privacy and speed Honor’s Image to Video 2.0 uses a unified multi-modal video generation model that will run entirely on the device. Unlike cloud-based tools that can…
Nothing launched a genuinely useful app called Warp earlier today, with a simple idea: allowing Android users to share files, links, and copied texts directly to their Mac, Windows, or Linux machines without including any cables or convoluted workarounds. Nothing announced the app for Chrome and Edge (Chromium-based web browsers) and Android smartphones, floating it on both the Chrome Web Store and the Google Play Store (via 9To5Google). However, a few hours later, the app is nowhere to be found, with the official listings returning errors. So, how did Warp actually work? Nothing’s Warp app used Google Drive as a…
Subtlety is overrated, and MSI just proved that. The Taiwanese laptop maker has rolled out a sweeping refresh, unveiling more than a dozen new gaming laptops spread across its Cyborg, Crosshair, Raider, Stealth, and Titan lineups. The models cover 15-inch, 16-inch, and 18-inch form factors, ensuring there’s something for every gamer or professional user, making it hard for buyers to run out of excuses for not upgrading this year. So, what’s actually new inside these machines? It is Intel’s newly announced Arrow Lake-HX Plus chips, specifically the Core Ultra 9 290HZ Plus, that acts as a catalyst for MSI’s new…
