Smart glasses have always had a basic problem for people like me. They looked cool in demos, sounded futuristic in press releases, and usually came with the same quiet catch. If you already wear glasses every day, you are expected to work around them. This meant adding prescription lenses later, settling for a fit that is not quite right, or treating the whole thing as a novelty instead of something you would actually wear throughout the day. This is what makes Meta’s latest announcement more exciting. The company just unveiled its first prescription-optimized AI glasses, the Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics…

Google could soon make it a lot harder for Pixel owners to downgrade to older Android builds. A new report suggests that a new change may roll out soon, expanding the anti-rollback protection feature, which is a security measure designed to stop devices from being flashed with older software. The main idea is to protect the devices against older software iterations that may contain known vulnerabilities. That is the useful version of the story. The less fun version is that it could also remove a bit of flexibility from Pixel phones, especially for enthusiasts who like flashing older builds for…

Let’s be honest, the modern web is… a mess. Pop-ups, autoplay videos, cookie banners, ads everywhere. In fact, sometimes it feels like actually reading something online is the hardest part. And that’s exactly where Textise comes in. Think of it as a “strip everything away” button for the internet. Textise is a simple web tool that converts any webpage into a clean, text-only version, removing ads, images, scripts, and all the extra clutter. What you’re left with is just the content: no distractions, no loading bloat, no nonsense. It’s fast, lightweight, and honestly feels like going back to a simpler…

Sony’s upcoming flagship might finally be getting a redesign, but not everyone is impressed. Leaked renders of the Xperia 1 VIII, shared by Weibo user Super_Freak_, suggest a noticeable shift in design, especially around the camera. The biggest change is a move away from Sony’s signature vertical camera strip to a square-shaped camera island, housing three sensors. There’s also a new centered punch-hole selfie camera, replacing Sony’s long-standing bezel-based front camera approach. On paper, these are big changes. But in reality… It’s not quite hitting the mark. Why does it feel a bit… meh? Let’s be honest, it doesn’t really feel…

Growing up playing the Nintendo Wii, the Super Mario Galaxy video games were some of my absolute favorited, so getting a blockbuster film based on them was a dream come true. I had high hopes for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and I can assure the fans out there that this film was made specifically for them. Set after Bowser’s defeat (Jack Black) in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this sequel follows Mario (Chris Pratt), Luigi (Charlie Day), Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), and Toad (Keegan-Michael Key) as they venture out into the cosmos to rescue Princess Rosalina (Brie Larson) from Bowser…

Humans are heading to the moon for the first time in 53 years after NASA successfully launched four astronauts on its SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft on Wednesday. Generating a colossal 8.8 million pounds of thrust as it left the launchpad, the rocket blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin the 10-day Artemis II mission that will take crew members Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen around the moon and back to Earth. Watch the video below to see the rocket roaring away from the Space Coast at 6:35 p.m. ET. You can…

On April 1, 2026, Apple turns 50. And while most celebrations will focus on the iPhone and Mac, there’s one chapter that’s hard to ignore: gaming. Not today’s polished, AAA-on-your-phone moment, but a far messier experiment from 30 years ago. Back in 1996, Apple wasn’t the giant it is now. Instead, it was struggling, experimenting, and occasionally missing the mark. Enter the Pippin. A console so badly misjudged that it became a lesson in how not to do gaming. And yet, in 2026, it feels less like a mistake and more like an idea that simply showed up too early.…

Switching phones is always a gamble. You expect something new, something exciting – maybe even something better. And to be fair, the Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers on that promise in many ways. It is one of the most technically impressive smartphones available today, packing a 6.85-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, peak brightness reaching up to 2,600 nits, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, which offers roughly a 10–15% performance boost over its predecessor. But after spending time with it, I found myself in a strange position. The more I appreciated what Samsung had…

For years, accessing Google Photos on a TV has been… unnecessarily complicated. You either had to cast from your phone, rely on screensavers, or just give up entirely. But that’s finally changing. Having previously teased, Google has announced on the official support channel that Google Photos is now officially making its way to Samsung TVs. It’s bringing native access to your photo library right on the big screen, without any workarounds needed. How does Google Photos work on Samsung TVs? This isn’t just a basic gallery app, but a deeper integration. The rollout starts with a feature called “Memories,” which…

Kia is finally bringing one of its most important EVs to the US, and it’s not trying to go big, flashy, or expensive. Instead, it’s going small… and smart. The Kia EV3, a compact electric SUV, has made its North American debut at the New York International Auto Show and is expected to go on sale in late 2026 as a 2027 model. Positioned as the most accessible EV in Kia’s lineup, it sits below the EV6 and EV9, focusing on practicality, usability, and affordability rather than outright performance. What makes the EV3 stand out? For starters, the range is…
