The other inspiration came from NASA's Gemini project which trained astronauts to land on the moon.

If you're a Xiaomi user, you probably already know the pain of not being to use third-party launcher with gestures on the phone. However, there's a workaround.

In all honesty, it's better to stay as far away as possible from the Google Pixel 8a. If you're still able to avail the Pixel 8 at $549, don't think twice and get that instead. If not, I'd still recommend not getting the 8a. The ugly bezels, plastic body and software optimization issues make it easy for me to never recommend it to anyone over the Pixel 8. The latter is just a more stable and premium device, and will give you your money's worth for sure.
You can access and use the GPT-4o model right away without requiring any subscription. The latest model is available on the web, ChatGPT's Android and iOS apps, and the ChatGPT macOS app as well. We have added a link to download the new ChatGPT desktop app for macOS.
The "Upstream Request Timeout" error on Spotify is a server side problem that occurs when the servers are going through maintenance. To troubleshoot this issue, users can check their internet connection, clear their browser cache, update their web browsers or download the Spotify app for desktop.
While Spotify does provide lyrics to tracks as well as their English translations, turns out, the feature is no longer free. Spotify is gradually hiding it behind a paywall, and now, you'll probably need to fall back on a third-party lyrics app. I gave quite a few of those a try, and nothing beats Musixmatch. The free version is good enough and is not just limited to Spotify but YT Music and Apple Music as well. Most importantly, for tracks that even YT Music can't provide lyrics for, Musixmatch does, making it a reliable such companion app.

Sagnik Das Gupta
View quick summary
Xiaomi undoubtedly has one of the largest catalog of products, and also the HyperOS interconnectivity feature to back it up as seamlessly as possible. But, the feature is not available across all of the brand's devices, even if they're running on the latest HyperOS version. If Xiaomi wants its ecosystem to thrive, it has to offer flexibility that brands like Samsung and OnePlus do. Keeping the feature limited to only premium offerings is a wasted potential, and the brand should definitely work towards expanding it.

Abubakar Mohammed

Google has announced the Pixel 8a in India at Rs 52,000, and it proves that with each passing year, Google distances itself from understanding the Indian smartphone scene. The steep price increase makes us believe that Google still doesn't understand the Indian market.

Apple has released the new iPad Pro with a mighty powerful M4 chipset. As per benchmarks, the M4 chip smokes even the $2,000 Mac Studio with the M2 Max chip. While this makes iPad Pro really powerful but will be able to harness that power with the incapable and half-baked iPadOS?
Apple offers a nano-texture glass option for 1TB and 2TB storage variants of the new OLED iPad Pro. The nano-texture glass coating can significantly reduce glare without affecting the overall image quality. They are especially designed for users who work in challenging lighting conditions or deal with color-managed workflows.
The latest M4 iPad Pro features the much-anticipated OLED display that Apple calls "Tandem OLED". A Tandem OLED panel has multiple OLED screens stacked on top of each other. The new OLED iPad Pro offers several benefits like higher brightness levels, perfect blacks, and a better contrast ratio.
Google's new Find My Device network rolled out recently on Android, and it lets you find lost devices with ease. It uses other Android devices on the network as they act like beacons to communicate with each other and detect your device's Bluetooth signal and location. Here's how to effectively use it.
Apple's M4 chipset is clocked at a mighty 4.4GHz frequency and it delivers unrivaled performance and efficiency. In comparison to the Snapdragon X Elite's top variant, the M4 has a 23% lead in single-core CPU performance while drawing much less power. And the 10-core M4 GPU outperforms Snapdragon's 6-core Adreno GPU handily. That said, Qualcomm makes a comeback in NPU performance, outranking Apple's 16-core Neural Engine.
According to Google, the Wallet and Google Pay app will co-exist, and while the former will be for storing things like transit, gift, and loyalty cards, and no tap to pay, the latter will be for making payments. We believe this makes Google Wallet quite useless.
