Lenovo’s refresh of its Legion Y700 Android gaming tablet has been a long time coming.

Google Home automations can quietly take a lot of friction out of your day. From turning lights on at the right time to adjusting the temperature when you’re about to reach home, automations are one of the most useful parts of Google’s smart home platform. Last month, Google expanded what those automations can do by rolling out a new set of starters that gave users more ways to trigger routines. Now, a fresh update for the Google Home app builds on that momentum, adding support for even more automation starters, conditions, and actions that make it easier to create more…

Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2 tweaks a Pixel setting that can quietly reduce one of the most annoying mobile problems, Wi-Fi that looks connected but isn’t actually usable.

On the QPR2 stable release, Adaptive Connectivity lives under Settings, Network and internet, and it’s mostly a leap of faith. Turn it on and Google says Android will manage your connections to improve performance and extend battery life. In QPR3 Beta 2, the page gets more descriptive…

SpaceX has acquired xAI, merging two of Elon Musk’s biggest bets as AI infrastructure demand keeps climbing. Musk is framing the move around a specific target, AI data centers in space. His argument is that today’s AI progress depends on massive Earth-based data centers that consume huge power and require intense cooling. He says shifting more compute to orbit solves those constraints with abundant solar energy and room to scale. SpaceX is already pushing the concept into the regulatory process. It sought permission from the Federal Communication Commission to launch a constellation of 1 million satellites, describing a network of…

Tesla has added a new all-wheel drive version of the Model Y in the US, priced at $41,990, based on an update to its website on Monday. It’s a small lineup change with an immediate payoff for shoppers who want AWD without climbing to a more expensive build. The timing isn’t random. The broader EV market cooled after September, when the Trump administration ended the $7,500 federal tax credits, pushing up what many buyers effectively pay. Tesla has been leaning on lower entry prices to keep demand from slipping, and this new rung fits that push. The AWD trim sits…
