A German court has ruled that Google is directly responsible for incorrect information presented by its AI Overviews platform, according to a report from The decoder. The country has laws in place that protect search engine operators from liability, but the court ruled that this did not apply to AI previews.

Highlighted comments are actually user-specific ones that YouTube highlights, making them easier to see. No other user can see these highlighted comments, unlike pins, which everyone sees. You can think of this…

Additionally, stores like Best Buy appear to have put Nest Audio devices on clearance, offering a significant discount when purchasing these smart speakers.

During the WWDC 2026 keynote, Apple took a big step toward upcoming Apple Intelligence features first promised a few years ago. Unlike other WWDC keynotes where the company moves from iOS to iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS and sometimes tvOS, this time Apple decided to talk extensively about iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate via AI features. Even though it didn’t give watchOS 27 an opening time, it seems to be one of the most attractive updates for Apple Watch models. After all, the company is doubling down on Siri AI for its…
One of the main features of iOS 26 was the new Liquid Glass design, the first major overhaul since iOS 7. Apple made all UI elements transparent, including tabs, buttons, and menus. Liquid Glass also featured lighting effects, with light reflected and refracted by digital surfaces. But Liquid Glass’s design drew widespread criticism from users, starting with the first beta of iOS 26. The transparent menus were difficult to read in some apps, like Music and Control Center, so Apple tried to fix the problem. Subsequent beta versions of iOS 26 increased the opacity,…
