If you have ever spent more time scrolling through rows of content than actually watching one, Google has a fix. With the latest Gemini update for Google TV, you can talk to the assistant, ask questions, and get relevant information in one place.

The update brings three Gemini features so you don’t have to grab your phone to check scores or figure out what to watch.

Smarter answers and deep learning on your Google TV

Gemini now responds with richer, more useful results depending on what you ask. If you ask for a recipe, you will get a video tutorial instead of just text. It basically combines visuals, videos, and information in one response, so you don’t need to search elsewhere.

There is also a new “deep dives” feature that turns your TV into a learning tool. You can explore topics like health, technology, or economics through narrated visual breakdowns.

For example, Gemini can explain how cold plunging affects your body or show how matcha is made step by step. You can even go further by tapping “Dive deeper,” which opens guided, interactive explanations with follow-up questions.

Gemini on Google TV will keep you updated on sports news

Google is also expanding its short news summaries into sports. These new sports briefs give you quick, narrated updates on leagues like the NBA, NHL, MLB, and more. If you check sports scores, you will see a live scorecard along with where to watch.

Instead of searching on the web, you can get highlights, player updates, and game summaries through Gemini. It can also help change your Google TV settings through voice commands.

These features are now rolling out to Gemini-enabled devices in the U.S. and Canada, with broader device support coming soon. The Gemini voice assistant on Google TV is expected to reach more countries later this year.

If this works as intended, your smart TV could become the place where you search, learn, and stay updated without ever reaching for your phone.

Microsoft is finally fixing the most annoying thing about Windows 11
Windows 11 Laptop

For many Windows users, the taskbar in Windows 11 has always felt strangely restrictive. Microsoft redesigned the interface with a cleaner, more modern look, but in the process removed several customization options people had been using for years. One of the biggest complaints? The inability to freely move the taskbar around the screen. Now, Microsoft finally seems ready to loosen things up.

The company has started testing a major overhaul of the taskbar and Start menu for Windows 11 Insiders in its Experimental channel. And honestly, this feels like Microsoft acknowledging that users want their PCs to feel personal again.

Asus has launched the 2026 ROG NUC 16, a compact gaming PC built for people who want a powerful setup without making room for a full desktop tower. It can sit vertically or horizontally on a desk, and there is also a Moonlight White version for buyers who want something a little cleaner-looking. The problem is the price.

In China, the refreshed ROG NUC 16 is listed at a starting price of CNY 29,999, which is around $4,405. The white version costs CNY 31,999, or about $4,699. Asus has not confirmed global pricing or availability yet, but international prices are likely to be in the same range, or possibly go even higher.

This is the coolest laptop power bank I have ever seen, and I’d wait to see if it actually ships
Krafted Edge solves the most annoying thing about laptop power banks, the fact that they never fit anywhere, and then oversells itself with battery life claims that don't quite add up.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

I’ve seen a lot of power banks, from the chunky rectangular bricks, round puck-shaped ones, and the flat ones that sit awkwardly next to a laptop in a bag, but none of them has ever looked like this.

The Krafted Edge is a 20,000 mAh power bank built into an aluminum slab measuring 27 x 19 x 1.28 cm, which is almost exactly the footprint of a closed laptop, and that’s intentional.
