Following last month’s addition of Gemini control, Google is rolling out a sizable Pixel Buds Pro, Pro 2, and Pixel Buds 2a firmware update.

If Gemini isn’t quite your cup of tea, Anthropic’s Claude now supports sidebar integration with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

Motorola is expanding its Android 17 rollout, with the update making its way to many more devices including the Razr Ultra (2026) this week.

Following last month’s big QPR1 update, Google is rolling out the October 2026 security patch for Android 17 on the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, Tablet, Fold, 8, 8 Pro, 8a, 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold, 9a, Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel 10a, Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

As its rollout expands, Samsung is now bringing its Android 17-based One UI 9 update to the Galaxy S24 series as well as older foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Google today announced its new EmbeddingGemma 2 model that can be used to “organize, search, and connect information directly on consumer hardware.” To show off its potential, Google created an AI Edge Foresight Mac app for “intelligent notetaking.”

Following the homepage redesign and fullscreen passes revamp this year, Google Wallet is trialing a vertically stacked card list.

Googlebooks don’t have the same level of web app support as Chromebooks, as only “compliant” apps can be installed, and that’s not the only regression from ChromeOS, as Linux apps don’t work in the same way either.

Everything is getting more expensive these days, so it’s almost necessary to wait until a scheduled sale like Prime Day or Black Friday to purchase big-ticket items.

I’ve been looking for a new pair of headphones recently, and came across a few Prime Day sales that I think are worth considering.

The Galaxy Watch 9, Samsung’s newest model, is currently $60 off while most shoppers rush to Amazon to snatch up Prime Day deals. This might be a better option.

Googlebook is pitched as the laptop for Android users but, at launch, the vast majority of Android users can’t use the platform’s best features.

Mere months after its launch, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 is discounted by hundreds for Amazon’s Prime Day to its lowest price yet.

A new leak reveals that Google’s upcoming Fitbit Edge tracker will probably have a price somewhere around $180 and offer 7-day battery life.

The 2026 fall Prime Day sale is now officially live with new all-time lows across the Pixel 11 series at up to $300 off and the best straight up cash discounts we have tracked to date on Amazon for the Pixel Watch 5 lineup from $335. Those offers are also joining the lowest prices to date Galaxy Z Fold 8 at $350 off and Z Fold 8 Ultra at a massive $400 off in brand new condition, as well as solid $420 price drops on S26 Ultra. 

All of that and more awaits below alongside loads of charger deals, smart home gear, e-bikes, powerstations, smart TVs, and more. 

Fall really begins in the kitchen. Morning coffee — no ‘iced’ necessary — becomes a daily ritual again, soup is finally back on the menu, and before you know it, family dinners start giving way to big Thanksgiving day plans and plenty of holiday hosting. With so much going on, it’s far too easy to overlook the quality of the water you drink, brew, and cook with, and you’d be surprised at the impact it can have on flavor, health, and more.

Like the Pixel Watch 5, the US Google Store is discounting the Pixel 11 and 11 Pro for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.

Good morning! Today, I’m searching for Prime Day deals, watching Chris Rock masterfully dodge questions about The Slap, questioning Sam Altman about whether we have to accept “some bad things” to justify AI’s exponential growth, and brushing up on my chess game after many years of neglect.
