Some weekends are for comfort, others are for chaos. This one? A bit of both. Whether it’s revisiting a gaming icon that defined an era, diving into a massively upgraded open-world epic, or trying out this generation’s cult classic title set to leave Game Pass soon, this lineup has range. 1. Tomb Raider I-III Remastered There’s something oddly magical about going back to where it all began, and Tomb Raider I-III Remastered absolutely leans into that feeling. This collection bundles the original adventures of Lara Croft with a fresh coat of paint, letting players toggle between classic visuals and modern…

For the last couple of years, Microsoft has been all-in on Copilot. It’s literally everywhere, be it Windows, Edge, Office, or even baked into core workflows where you can’t really ignore it. The messaging has been clear: this is the future of productivity, your AI assistant for getting real work done. And now, suddenly, Microsoft is saying… don’t take it too seriously. Microsoft is walking back Copilot’s “serious use” pitch As reported first by Tom’s Hardware, the Microsoft Copilot Terms of Use state that Copilot is intended for “entertainment purposes only” and shouldn’t be relied on for important or high-stakes…

LinkedIn might be doing a lot more than just showing you job posts and connection requests. If the latest reports are anything to go by, it’s also quietly peeking into your browser setup. A new investigation is raising serious privacy concerns, claiming the platform is scanning thousands of Chrome extensions and collecting device-level data in the background. And yeah, it’s as uncomfortable as it sounds. LinkedIn may be scanning thousands of your browser extensions According to findings from the BrowserGate report, LinkedIn allegedly injects hidden JavaScript into its website that scans users’ browsers for installed extensions, over 6,000 of them.…

It’s been just over a month since Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 series. As someone who has followed and used Samsung phones for years, this launch felt…familiar. Not bad, just not particularly exciting either. Sure, the Galaxy S26 Ultra brings a few upgrades. The much-talked-about privacy display looks impressive, the battery has seen a slight bump, and the redesigned camera module is definitely easier on the eyes. But beyond these changes, there isn’t much that feels new. Meanwhile, my two-year-old Galaxy S24 Ultra is still holding up perfectly well. It does everything I need without any real compromises. And honestly,…

Remember those moments when a tech giant throws a curveball, only for the underdog to dodge it with style? That’s exactly what just went down with Anything. For those of you unaware, it’s an AI-powered app builder that lets users whip up mobile and web apps using simple text prompts. Last week, Apple yanked the app from the App Store, citing its usual guideline around code execution and keeping apps “self-contained.” The move felt like part of a broader side-eye toward so-called “vibe coding” tools, where building software is starting to feel as casual as texting a friend. Apple pulled…

Google Meet is now available on Apple CarPlay. If you spend a lot of time commuting, this Google Meet feature will make it easier to join meetings on the go, as you can now join meetings directly from your car’s dashboard without picking up your phone. How does it work? It’s pretty straightforward. Connect your iPhone to a CarPlay-compatible vehicle via Bluetooth or a USB cable, open the Meet app on your CarPlay display, and you’re in. Your upcoming meetings are displayed right on the screen, and you can join one with a single tap. Since you’re driving, Meet keeps…

Android’s new notification rules could finally tame your alert overload. Early code in Android 17 points to a more capable way to manage how and when your phone interrupts you, especially if constant pings have started to feel overwhelming. The system, spotted in Android 17 Beta 3 by Android Authority, shows you’ll be able to set custom behaviors for notifications based on specific apps or even individual contacts. Instead of muting everything, you’ll be able to decide what deserves attention and what can stay quiet in the background. Android already has an edge in notification management. This upgrade builds on…

I’m not usually someone who gets overly excited about Android skins, but One UI 8.5 genuinely deserves some credit. Samsung has always been strong on customization, and this update takes things a step further in a way that actually feels useful. There are already plenty of ways to tweak how your phone looks and behaves, but now Samsung is refining the experience where it matters most. The Quick Panel, which you probably swipe down dozens of times a day, is getting even more customization options.  What’s new? Samsung is clearly leaning deeper into personalization with the latest QuickStar update. The…

The Pixel 11 Pro XL is already coming into focus, and if you were hoping for a bold redesign, this leak sets a different tone. Early CAD renders obtained by Android Headlines show a device that sticks closely to Google’s current look, just stretched into a larger frame. That approach feels deliberate. If you already like the Pixel design, this model leans into it instead of reworking it. The main shift is straightforward, it’s bigger. You’re looking at a 6.8-inch display paired with the same horizontal camera bar across the back. The bar remains fully black in the renders, creating…

Your next Android flagship may get a big Gemini Nano 4 boost, and Google’s already laying the groundwork. In a new developer preview, it’s pushing a faster, more efficient AI model that will power upcoming phones later this year. The idea’s simple. Build apps now using the new Gemma 4 model, and that same code will carry over to supported devices when they arrive. It gives developers a head start while Google fine-tunes performance for real hardware. This matters because AI’s becoming central to flagship phones. These models run locally instead of relying on the cloud, which means quicker responses…
