IKEA’s smart blinds aren’t unfurling on schedule, with the affordable remote-controlled window treatment running into a firmware hold-up. The Swedish retailer sent smart home fans into a frenzy earlier in the year, with the news that it was working on a set of smart blinds that could seriously undercut the competition. While IKEA’s blinds won’t be the first to reach … Continue reading
After unleashing the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti at the end of last month, NVIDIA is back today with an even more affordable card in the GTX 1660. Like the 1660 Ti, the standard 1660 is built on NVIDIA’s Turing GPU architecture, so it shares something with the company’s top-of-the-line RTX cards. There isn’t any support for real-time ray tracing in … Continue reading
A pair of Klipsch speakers, packing cubes, Lego BB-8, and eye gel lead off Thursday’s Best Deals.
Slowly but surely, it appears that Facebook is getting its “family of apps” back online. The consequences of the longest outage in the company’s history, however, remain to be seen. On Thursday, one of Facebook’s underrecognized competitors, Telegram, said that it added three million new users in the last 24 hours.…
After six years, Google is shutting down Spotlight Stories, its in-house immersive entertainment studio. What exactly was Spotlight Stories, you ask? Fair question. Unless you’re an avid virtual reality enthusiast, there’s a good chance you’ve never even heard of Google’s attempts at creating 360-degree short films…
Google released the developer preview of Android Q yesterday ahead of formally unveiling the latest iteration of its mobile operating system later this year. The developer preview has revealed some of the new features that Google has been working on. A new report points out that Android Q brings support for a native desktop mode.
This won’t be the first time that a software solution has been created to provide a workstation-like experience powered by an Android device. Samsung’s DeX is perhaps the most recent example and the company even did away with the requirement to use a dock for the experience. You can hook up Samsung’s latest flagships directly to a display through the USB-C port and use DeX.
It does have its limitations, though. Apps have to be optimized for the DeX experience and majority of them available on the Play Store are not, so users just run windowed Android apps instead. With Android Q, Google will finally add native support for a desktop mode to its operating system.
This new feature can be accessed in the Developer Options menu on the preview build. Once it’s enabled, Android will display apps in free-form windows on an external monitor but will continue to show the navigation buttons at the bottom and the status bar at the top. Given that it’s still early days for Android Q, the entire look and feel of this native desktop mode could change down the line.

Fresh off the success of its latest movie Captain Marvel, the studio today released the final trailer for its most anticipated movie of the year. The trailer is just going to make it that much harder to wait for Avengers: Endgame to hit the big screen as Avengers: Infinity War left a lot of questions unanswered.
Marvel isn’t helping things with the launch of this new trailer as it leaves us with more questions than answers. The superheroes were in a spot of bother at the end of the previous movie and this trailer doubles down on that point.
As you can probably expect from the trailer, it brings little in the way of new details about the upcoming film. Naturally, there’s a lot of anticipation among fans for the big finale that Endgame is expected to deliver.
There’s no shortage of fan theories online about how the story is going to progress from here. How the remaining superheroes will reverse the damage done by Josh Brolin’s Thanos remains to be seen. Thanos himself does not make an appearance in this latest trailer. Avengers: Endgame is going to hit the big screen in just over a month, April 26th to be precise.
