Gemini app bug removes features, reverts UI on Android

A bug in the Gemini app has led to the removal of several features, including the ability to upload NotebookLM notebooks via the ‘plus’ menu, the disappearance of the “Temporary chat” button, and the option to “Import memory to Gemini” from the profile menu. The app's design has reverted to side-by-side pills from a list format, and the background color has changed from black to gray, affecting the visual experience. Android users have also experienced a return to a previous overlay design that limits access to the Tools menu, and the fullscreen glow effect has been removed. This issue is affecting users across both stable and beta channels with Google app version 17.14, and a server-side fix is expected to restore the lost functionalities. The Gemini web platform remains unaffected.

TotalAV Keeps Prices Low While Covering the Basics of Online Protection

TotalAV, founded in 2016, offers a competitive antivirus solution with an entry-level plan aimed at users seeking essential coverage at a reasonable price. Its features include real-time malware scanning, a browser extension called WebShield for blocking dangerous links, a system cleanup tool, and a basic password vault. The Android app is user-friendly, while the iOS version provides limited features due to Apple's restrictions. TotalAV includes a VPN with a daily data cap and effective phishing protection through its WebShield feature. Renewal costs can increase significantly after the first year, and independent lab testing of TotalAV is less frequent compared to competitors like Bitdefender and Kaspersky.

Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday release for April is a whopper

A series of updates have been released, focusing on system integrity and performance. Users should perform verification tasks, including installing, uninstalling, and repairing MSI packages, connecting and disconnecting cloud sync providers, and enrolling devices in Intune or MDM solutions. The Common Log File System driver (clfs.sys) is receiving a follow-up patch, along with updates to Storage Spaces (spaceport.sys) and app isolation file system drivers (bfs.sys, wcifs.sys). Users should also run Windows Update installation and rollback cycles, install and uninstall applications, and verify data integrity through backup solutions. For Storage Spaces, creating a pool with mirrored and thin virtual disks and ensuring clean deletion is necessary. April's updates for Office target MSI editions, including Excel 2016 (KB5002860), PowerPoint 2016 (KB5002808), Office 2016 shared libraries (KB5002859), and SharePoint Server editions from 2016 to 2019. These updates do not apply to Click-to-Run deployments like Microsoft 365 Apps. Users should validate complex Excel workbooks, PowerPoint presentations, SharePoint document libraries, and the functionality of Office add-ins. Testing for two High Risk components is essential: changes to Kerberos may disrupt services using RC4 keytabs, and the Remote Desktop client update requires validation of clipboard functionality, printer redirection, and session reconnection. Validating Secure Boot and BitLocker is critical as CVE-2023-24932 key rolling progresses. Additionally, cloud sync testing is important due to five patches to the Projected File System driver, and regression testing is needed for dual afd.sys updates and VPN/IPsec patches across remote-access infrastructure. Office updates are limited to MSI editions.

Even Netflix is getting in on vertical videos, mobile app redesign gets discussed

In its Q1 2026 report, Netflix announced plans to revamp its mobile app by integrating vertical videos into a new "discovery feed" to help users find fresh content. This move aligns with Disney Plus's recent launch of "Verts," aimed at enhancing viewer engagement. Netflix reported a 16% year-over-year revenue growth during the same update and plans to roll out the redesigned app by the end of the month. The company is also facing scrutiny over its pricing strategy, with the Standard plan increasing to .49 and the Premium plan to .99, following a price hike just 14 months prior.

Avast Antivirus: Free Protection Faces Premium Competition Pressure

Avast Antivirus offers a free version with features like real-time scanning, malware detection, a ransomware shield, and network security, appealing to budget-conscious users on multiple platforms. It has a lightweight design, regular updates, and community-driven threat intelligence. Gen Digital acquired Avast in 2022 and integrated it into its cybersecurity portfolio, focusing on transitioning users from free to premium services and emphasizing AI-driven threat detection. Avast faces competition from free alternatives like Windows Defender and premium solutions such as Bitdefender and Kaspersky, while regulatory scrutiny affects all providers. The demand for antivirus tools is driven by rising ransomware attacks and data breaches, with remote work increasing the need for endpoint protection. Risks for users include performance issues on older devices, false positives, data privacy concerns, and potential subscription traps. Future updates may incorporate more AI features, and partnerships with hardware manufacturers could expand Avast's market reach.
