The app, which Google began testing in June, pulls information from across Search, Gmail, Photos, Calendar, and Gemini to provide AI shopping recommendations, travel suggestions, event reminders, and more. It pairs these suggestions with somewhat unsettling storybook-style drawings of yourself.

The new AI feature is supposed to help you track down stuff like your favorite character’s outfit, which could come in handy assuming it doesn’t just pull up random knockoffs. Amazon’s also making it easier to shop in the middle of your shows and movies with a new “Shop” tab in its X-Ray menu.

That’s according to a statement OpenAI provided to The New York Times shortly after its Navier-Stokes breakthrough:

City council meetings across the country have had wild characters for a while, but we’re now seeing literal villains show up in support of mass surveillance.

With the app, you can press Alt + Space to pull up Gemini when you need it, Google says. Grab the app from Google’s Gemini website. Google launched a macOS app in April.

Elon Musk’s lawyer Alex Spiro sent a legal threat to Alex Gibney and the production company behind the new Musk documentary, which so far is receiving strong reviews.

It’ll knock 30 percent off “dozens” of Nintendo Switch games (digital and physical), DLC, accessories, amiibo, and more. Is this sufficient appreciation for you?

After installing the recent version 23.0.0 update on my Nintendo Switch 2, I can’t access the VRR settings option while it’s plugged into the Jsaux OmniCentro dock (I haven’t tried Genki’s Covert Dock 3 yet). The good news is that this dock still works post-update, but the ball is in third-party makers’ court to deliver a patch that enables VRR.

You’ll now have to be more careful when choosing a battery for your iPhone. BMX’s new SolidSafe Duo is one of the first that’s sized to fit Apple’s wider iPhone Duo. At $79.99 the SolidSafe Duo is expensive for a 5,000mAh battery even with wireless charging capabilities, but it uses safer semi-solid-state cell tech, and you get a big status screen.
