The Pixel Watch on my wrist has been a solid daily driver, but the small annoyances pile up. Battery anxiety by 6 PM, sluggish assistant replies, pulling out my phone every single time I want to track a delivery. Google says Wear OS 7 fixes all three, and a whole lot more.Wear OS 7 is officially here, built on Android 17Google announced Wear OS 7 at I/O 2026 and laid out the full breakdown in a new developer blog post. The Canary emulator is already live for developers, and the platform ships on watches arriving later in 2026.Battery and Gemini…
Xbox’s Game Pass additions for the second half of May 2026 have been revealed and there’s some solid stuff. While Forza Horizon 6 is the big exclusive that subscribers will be downloading this week, there’s a handful of other games worth keeping an eye on this month, including an all-time great: Final Fantasy VI. Microsoft has been slowly adding each entry in Square Enix’s Pixel Remaster anthology to its Netflix-like subscription library, and May 2026 finally sees the second-best game in the RPG series make its arrival just in time for a nostalgic summer replay. Final Fantasy VI is the…
But what about spacecraft flying on more well-trodden paths to the Moon, Mars, Venus, or the asteroid belt? “What can we do with these commercial off-the-shelf buses? I would love to walk in and say, ‘I’ll buy 10 of those,’” Fox said. NASA is looking at “block buys” for the next series of commercial missions to the Moon. These privately owned landers and orbiters, part of the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, carry NASA-owned payloads. They are precursors for future human exploration. After the Moon, Mars is the next destination that could use the CLPS model. “Mars is sort…
Once again, the way we use Gemini is about to fundamentally change, and Google shows no signs of slowing this down. At I/O 2026, Sundar Pichai walked through a wave of updates that all point to one idea: AI is no longer something you actively open, it is something that runs in the background and gets things done for you.Google is officially in its agentic Gemini eraThe growth numbers explain why this matters. The Gemini app has more than doubled in a year, jumping from 400 million to over 900 million monthly active users, and over 50 billion images have…
As Kotaku’s resident Star Wars hater, I had no intention of seeing The Mandalorian and Grogu, so hearing that the first Star Wars movie since the cinematic war crime that was 2019’s Rise of Skywalker isn’t great doesn’t affect me much. However, I did see a trailer for the apparently middling movie while at the theater this weekend (Sheep Detectives is cute!), and for some reason, something in my brain broke when America’s sweetheart, Pedro Pascal, was unmasked on the screen and I noticed I did not instinctively feel happy to see him. But I like Pascal, right? He’s a…
Prime Video has released one last trailer for its upcoming live action series, Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage, and once again it’s been released in two formats: one in black and white (below) and another in color (above), which the showrunners are calling “True Hue.” Seriously, the more footage we see of this series, the more eager we are to find out if the series lives up to its marketing. And the final trailer—which really plays up the deadpan humor and is set to Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black”—is very promising. As previously reported, Marvel Comics created its “noir” line in…
Google just dropped a massive Workspace overhaul at I/O 2026, and if you live inside Gmail, Docs, and Drive, your daily workflow is about to look very different. Voice is the headline, but the changes run much deeper than that.Workspace is going full Gemini, and over 4 billion people are along for the rideGoogle announced a wave of new AI features for Workspace in a blog post, spanning Gmail, Docs, Keep, and a brand-new image creation app. The pitch is that Workspace stops being a place where you do the work and starts being a place where AI does it…
Sacred Symbols podcast host Colin Moriarty recently received a bizarre warning. “Colin, I’m just warning you,” it read. “They have your information and they are going to try to take your account today.” Sure enough, the ex-IGN editor and Kinda Funny Games cofounder’s PlayStation account was hacked shortly after, and he was locked out of a library of hundreds of digital games and an account history built up over decades. While Sony was able to restore access in record time, the high-profile incident has raised fresh concerns about vulnerabilities in PlayStation’s account security. “My PSN account was hacked, seemingly as…
The FBI intelligence division’s plan to obtain direct access to an extensive network of cameras could help expand that information sharing. As the FBI notes, its intelligence division shares information with a variety of federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies. Flock: Sharing is “opt-in” for local police Flock itself temporarily provided access to Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security Investigations, the Secret Service, and Naval Criminal Investigative Service as part of a pilot last year. Flock confirmed the pilot to the office of Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), according to Wyden. Flock says it has federal customers “including National…
Finding the video you want on YouTube can sometimes feel like a challenge, especially if you’re looking for something very specific. Google seems to want to solve that problem, and apparently its solution is to shove Gemini into the search bar on the video platform.YouTube is getting an AI-powered search bar updateGoogle introduced a new AI-powered feature for the YouTube search bar during its I/O keynote today. The feature called Ask YouTube will allow users to ask complex questions using Gemini in the video-sharing platform.The new search feature will work similarly to how Gemini already handles some searches. However, the…
