There’s no one not frustrated by the cost of YouTube TV and services like it, but prices keep on going up. In a small victory, though, YouTube TV subscribers that sued Disney over its role in driving up the cost of streaming have won in court, with Disney settling for $50 million.

It just won’t change your bill.

Google today announced that it will open up the Play Store to external payments starting on June 30 in the US, UK, and Europe.

The Google Home Speaker is now the easiest and most affordable way to get Gemini into your smart home, but how does it perform against the device it’s meant to replace – the Nest Mini?

Rolling out now, the Instagram app has added support for watching Reels on your TV using Google Cast.

While some tech categories have spent the better part of this decade feeling a little stagnant, televisions have kept evolving at a pretty steady clip. Sure, some gimmicks didn’t catch on — pour one out for your 3D movie-loving friends — and the advancement to 4K feels like a lifetime ago, but the underlying display technology has only gotten better, brighter, and more vivid, and that’s exactly what Sony’s aiming for with its new Google TV-powered True RGB televisions.

The simplicity of the Fitbit Air encourages some neat ideas for how to use it, including pairing it with a traditional watch. Some Fitbit Air buyers are taking that idea and literally cutting holes in their watch bands to house the tracker, but there’s probably a better way.

One of the best values in earbuds is the Nothing Ear (a) and, for Prime Day, a pair is down to just $53, and that might be the single best offer on earbuds during Amazon’s sales holiday.

Gemini in Chrome now lets you focus a prompt with a new “Select from screen” tool, while developers can tap into Gemini 3.5 Flash computer use capabilities.

Just because something has been around for a while doesn’t mean it’s bad or not worth buying. I’ve bought a few products over the years, and here are a few older tech items I think are well worth a look.

No one really enjoys Prime Day anymore. The days of finding a needle-in-a-haystack deal are long over, and now it’s more about whether you have the patience to wait until Amazon applies minor discounts to the stuff you really want.

To that end, I usually use the month of June to store things in the “Save it for later” section of my Amazon cart for items that have caught my eye throughout the year but haven’t been cheap enough yet to justify ordering.

Over the years, I’ve accumulated some products that I use every day, that have withstood travel, kids, and time’s daily abuses. Some of them are tech-related, or tech-adjacent, and others are just nice things that I really enjoy.

A new leak has revealed the alleged wallpapers Samsung is bringing to the Galaxy Z Fold 8, with everything lining up with leaked colors for the actual phone. I just hope the phone’s colors look even halfway as good as the wallpapers.

Five years on from a dedicated speaker launch, we have the Google Home Speaker. This is the platform for Gemini for the next half a decade – here’s what it’s like to live with.

Following a Galaxy Watch 9 leak yesterday, new renders of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 have hit the web revealing a familiar design from a familiar source.

Robot vacuums have come a long way over the past several years, with some of the most advanced models nowadays going well and beyond anything we thought they’d be able to do. But, in a lot of cases, they’re also still an eyesore in your home. After spending a couple of months with the Narwal Flow 2, though, that’s one of the biggest things that stood out – I actually rather like how this looks, and it doesn’t give up top-tier performance to do so.
