Google is putting more of Gemini’s best features right at your fingerprints

Google has updated its Gemini overlay, introducing an expanded Plus (+) menu that includes new tools such as video generation, music creation, Canvas, and Guided Learning. The redesigned layout allows users to perform common actions directly from the overlay, enhancing accessibility and usability. The Plus (+) button now serves as a more robust entry point, although the repositioning of the feature carousel may slightly hinder one-handed usability on larger devices. Familiar shortcuts like Photos, Camera, Files, and Drive remain, ensuring continuity for users. The updated overlay integrates more deeply into the Android ecosystem, reducing the need to launch the main app and aiming to make Gemini a more integral part of users' daily tasks.

Steam Machine review: Valve’s underwhelming living-room PC has a serious price problem

The Steam Machine is a compact gaming system measuring 16.5 × 15.5 × 15.3 cm, designed to run SteamOS and provide access to the Steam library while offering a user experience similar to consoles. It features a custom AMD CPU with six cores and twelve threads, 16 MiB of L3 cache, and a maximum clock speed of 4.86 GHz. The system includes 16 GiB of DDR5 memory and a discrete Radeon graphics unit with 8 GiB of GDDR6 video memory based on the Navi 33 architecture, operating with 28 compute units and a power budget of 110 watts. Storage consists of an NVMe drive with approximately 1.9 TB of space and a zram swap of around 7.6 GiB. The Steam Machine runs SteamOS 3.8.9 in its x86-64 version, allowing it to function as either a Linux PC or a gaming interface. Connectivity options include one HDMI 2.0 port, one DisplayPort 1.4 port, four USB-A ports, a USB-C port, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3. Its hardware is aligned with PC architecture but lacks the customization options of a bespoke system.
