Search ArticlesiPhone users discover hack to save 21GB of storage, which also works on Android
A user on Reddit claims they freed up more than 21GB of storage space on their iPhone by disabling Apple Intelligence — the primary AI feature in the latest versions of iOS. And yes, some Android phones (notably Pixels and other devices that download Gemini Nano via AICore) can also save several gigabytes with this hack too.
'Stuart Fails to Save the Universe' is more than just another 'Big Bang Theory' spinoff
The Big Bang Theory had loads of characters that could have carried their own spinoff. Although Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman) probably wouldn't have been at the top of anyone's list, he became the unlikely star of the HBO Max series Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. And the show's popularity has already earned it a season two renewal. Stuart leading his own sitcom might seem like a strange choice.
Android’s new trick for finding lost items without a tracker rolls out soon
Android 16+ users will soon be able to ask Gemini to save the locations of untagged items in Find Hub. Saved locations and optional photos will appear in Find Hub’s new Remembered tab and can also be retrieved by asking Gemini. This isn’t real-time tracking: Gemini only remembers the location you provide, making Bluetooth trackers better for frequently moved items. Android is getting a new way to find belongings without attaching a tracker to them.
Steam Deck proved Linux can game, but your PC still needs Windows
Steam revolutionized digital distribution for PC games, but Valve's more recent push toward Linux and Proton-based gaming—whether through the Steam Deck or Steam Machine—is its most ambitious move yet. While making Linux a viable gaming platform is commendable, it comes with significant trade-offs for average users.
The smart speaker collecting dust can still run your smart home in these 7 ways
There’s a good chance you have a smart speaker sitting somewhere in your house that you haven’t actually spoken to in months. Maybe the novelty wore off. Maybe you got tired of it mishearing you, or you just fell out of the habit of asking it things when your phone does the same job faster. It happens to almost everyone who bought one of these things during a sale. The good news is that voice was never the only thing these speakers were good for, and in some ways it was the least interesting part.
Linux might never be able to overthrow Windows, and that's perfectly fine
I love Linux. It lets me tinker, customize, and break things to my heart’s content, making it an incredible learning experience for diagnosing system issues. But it’s natural that not everyone shares this enthusiasm. Most people don’t want to learn the ins and outs of an installation—they just want an operating system that works out of the box without requiring a terminal or a complete reinstallation.
I thought all passkeys were phishing-proof until I learned about synced passkey theft
I’d started thinking of passkeys as the credential an attacker couldn’t sweet-talk out of me. There was nothing memorable to punch into a fake login page, nothing reusable for a phishing kit to scoop up, and the passkey itself didn’t leave a reusable shared secret sitting on some company server waiting for the next breach. The private key was supposed to stay on my side of the login, which made the setup feel pretty airtight.
Samsung finally made the Quick Panel customizable enough in One UI 9
Samsung spent two straight updates (One UI 7 and One UI 8/8.5) promising a Quick Panel you could rearrange, but both times, there were limitations to the ways you could customize the panel. One UI 9 is the first version where that's no longer true, offering full customization for the Quick Panel. ̌Samsung itself confirms the sound toggle is finally separate from the volume slider, the sliders got a visual overhaul, and the system-level cap on resizing (from One UI 8.5) is out of there.
Google Pics is powerful, but it's not the Photos fix we've been waiting for
Google Pics brings Nano Banana AI image creation/editing into Workspace, including Slides and Docs. Powerful editing: object segmentation, layer-like controls, text-in-image edits, multi-version generation. Rolling out to Google AI Pro/Ultra and Workspace customers; not a privacy-first, E2EE Photos fix. Google Pics is a new image creation and editing tool in Google Workspace, designed for easy image creation and editing, similar to Grok’s Imagine feature.
These 5 PC maintenance rules just aren't true anymore
We all want our PCs running in top condition, free from lag and slowness. While some maintenance tips such as hard drive defragmentation might have been true at some point, a lot of these PC maintenance rules just aren't true anymore. In fact, some of them can cause more harm than good, so it's time to bust these myths.
