Google is continuing to expand the role of Gemini across its productivity apps, and Google Slides is now getting a fresh set of AI-powered upgrades. Gemini already helps users generate images, summarize information, and build presentation content more quickly. With the latest update, Google is adding new tools designed to make it easier to turn ideas into complete slide decks, edit existing presentations, and keep layouts consistent. Gemini’s slide generation capabilities in Google Slides are getting an upgrade, and it can now create fully editable slides that match the overall theme of your deck. When creating new slides, you can…

Travel nausea has long been the uninvited companion on road trips, flights, and journeys. I’ve been experiencing it myself since I was a child, and even today, if I’m not driving the car, it’s very difficult for me to sit inside for longer journeys. Even though I never discussed this with Samsung, it looks like they have a solution.  The Korean tech giant has quietly launched a free app called Hearapy (sounds like a combination of hearing and therapy) to tackle motion sickness through audio therapy. The concept is quite simple. You open the app, put on your earbuds, and…

Google has been steadily weaving Gemini deeper into its productivity tools, and Google Docs has been one of the biggest beneficiaries. With Gemini in Google Docs, you can already summarize long documents, draft and rewrite text, generate outlines, and even get answers to questions based on the content of a file. Now, Google is rolling out another set of Gemini-powered features in Docs that will help streamline creating a first draft, refining content, updating formatting, and even matching writing styles. Google says Gemini’s new “Help me create” feature turns it into a “collaborative partner” that can generate fully formatted first…

If you are an Evernote power user, there’s good news! Evernote has officially brought back tabbed notes, a feature that Mac users loved and lost back in October 2020. When Evernote rebuilt its app from scratch for an identical cross-platform app for Windows, Mac, and desktop, tabs were scrapped entirely. Back then, tabs were a Mac-only perk that never existed on Windows; so it was dropped to keep things uniform across platforms. Five years later, they are back and this time available on both Mac and Windows. How do tabs actually work in Evernote now? Opening a note in a…

This article first appeared in National Review Whenever I write in support of animal research, some accuse me of cruelty and indifference to the suffering of animals. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am eager for the number of animals used in experiments to be reduced as much as possible — but only to an extent consistent with assuring scientific progress — because I care more about reducing human suffering. If we want a science sector that can produce medicines and techniques to treat disease and ameliorate pain (which also often benefits animals), like it or not, that requires the “grim good” of animal…

Tech giants like Meta, Google, and X are investing heavily in AI tools designed to detect fake news. It sounds reassuring, but according to a new study from the Université de Montréal, these tools have some serious drawbacks hiding behind impressive-sounding accuracy numbers. Doctoral researcher Dorsaf Sallami examined AI fake news detection systems and found that they don’t actually fact-check anything. They calculate probabilities based on their training data. Think of it less like a journalist verifying a story and more like a mirror reflecting whatever it is shown, including the same biases and blind spots. According to Dorsaf Sallami,…

AirDrop has long been an iPhone exclusive — a seamless, quick, and efficient way to transfer files between iPhones, iPads, and Macs (unless it decides to stop doing that every now and then). Android users have watched from the sidelines for years, but that’s changing fast.  Last year, Google engineered AirDrop compatibility into its Quick Share platform. The feature debuted on the Pixel 10 series. The Galaxy S26 series became the first Samsung lineup to pick up on it. However, now, the company is pushing the feature further in its smartphone portfolio, and the affordable Galaxy A series phones are…

Adobe is bringing a new AI-powered assistant to Photoshop that aims to simplify image editing tasks and make the app easier to use, especially for beginners. The assistant, currently rolling out in beta for Photoshop on the web and mobile apps, lets users interact with the image editing software using natural language prompts instead of navigating complex menus and tools. First announced in October last year, the AI assistant acts like a conversational helper directly embedded within Photoshop. Users can type or speak instructions describing the changes they want to make, and the assistant can carry out edits automatically. For…

Nvidia has just announced DLSS 4.5. The update brings new AI-powered graphics technology, and the improvements offer a noticeable impact on how modern PC games look and perform. It was revealed alongside other RTX announcements during GDC 2026, focusing on boosting both visual quality and frame rates in demanding titles. DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) has become a big part of Nvidia’s gaming ecosystem. It uses AI models running on RTX GPUs to reconstruct higher-resolution images and generate additional frames that allow games to run more smoothly without sacrificing visual fidelity. With DLSS 4.5, the technology is getting even better.…

In typical Motorola fashion, the Razr series has leaked once again, and this time we’re getting our first proper look at the Razr 70 Ultra. The renders come courtesy of XpertPick, in collaboration with Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as OnLeaks on X (formerly Twitter). Is there anything fresh here? The Motorola Razr 70 Ultra isn’t really shaking things up. According to Steve Hemmerstoffer, it’s said to measure around 9.6mm thick, including the camera bump, and about 17.63mm when folded, cameras included. So, don’t expect it to feel any different in hand compared to last year’s Razr 60 Ultra. And visually…
