    Wanna make your own Android ping tone? Ask Gemini (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    By now, you probably know my stance on Gemini and other generative AI gobbledegook — right? In short: It’s an insanely powerful form of technology (obviously). But it’s also wildly inaccurate and ineffective as an all-purpose answer engine, and by cramming it into every last nook and cranny, Google is doing a serious disservice to its users — and to itself. That being said, generative AI can be incredibly useful. The key is simply to frame it as a purpose-specific tool for the right type of limi

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Gmail is filled with hidden features and add-on possibilities, but one of the service’s most powerful organizational tools is sitting right in the heart of its regular settings. As you may have guessed by now (especially if you read this story’s headline, you clever little cat), I’m talking about filters — Gmail’s long-standing system for automating your inbox with a series of custom-crafted rules.

    Let’s face it: Email is inherently a bit of a pain. And while Google’s Gmail service is generally pretty pleasant to use, it certainly has some room for improvement — especially on the mobile front. But as is so often the case with Google products, what you see isn’t entirely what you get. The Gmail Android app has some super-useful hidden touches you’ve probably never noticed lurking beneath its surface — easily overlooked features that can make your mobile email experience more powerful, produ

    How to unlock Google's new Pixel vibration wizardry on any Android phone (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Have you heard the buzz? Good vibrations are officially here on Android — at least, on Google’s latest homemade Pixel gizmos. One of the less prominent but more useful additions on the Pixel 11 series is a quietly added option buried deep within the devices’ settings to select from a series of distinctive vibration patterns for different types of alerts.
