Google pushes AI deeper into Search and Gemini while Chromecast users and others hit fresh problems

Google’s biggest consumer story today is a tighter blend of Search and Gemini. Google Search is adding so many AI features, including AI Overviews and AI Mode, that the line between Search and Gemini is becoming harder to see, raising the question of what Gemini is for if Search can already do Gemini-like tasks. androidauthority.com

Google also unveiled Omni Flash, a new generative model in the Gemini family. Google says the model can take video plus a text prompt as input for AI-generated creations, and that it improves on Veo by adding more real-world knowledge and better character consistency. theverge.com

The same day also brought a separate wave of user pain. Google fixed a technical issue that had temporarily disrupted casting for some first-gen Chromecast users, while the device’s updates had already ended in 2023 and Google had warned that performance may degrade. 9to5google.com

Is the Pixel 10 Pro Fold the best foldable option?

I’ll be honest, there are many better foldables out there that make the Pixel 10 Pro Fold look basic or rudimentary. Even when that is parked to the side, there is a lot to love, mostly from the software side of things. The hardware feels like it could do with some tuning, and to Google’s credit, they have tried a little bit to make some gains over last year without throwing away the bits that made the Pixel 9 Pro Fold a good option almost 18 months ago.
