Samsung’s Gallery App is Getting New Google Photos Sync Feature

Samsung is replacing the OneDrive integration in its Gallery Android app with Google Photos, following Microsoft's announcement that OneDrive photo backup will cease after September 30, 2026. The new cloud sync feature with Google Photos is being rolled out to select Galaxy users, who must update their Gallery Cloud Sync, Samsung Cloud, and Samsung Gallery apps. The integration does not support supervised personal Google accounts or Google Workspace accounts. Users can back up their camera roll, specific albums, and local device folders to Google Photos, but edited photos will appear as separate items, and some Google Photos features will not be accessible for synced photos. Samsung's Gallery app will continue to operate alongside Google Photos, and the company is developing its own web browser for Android and Windows.

Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) do not have access to this feature due to regional restrictions on artificial intelligence applications.

Your Phone Can Use Android Auto Without A Car – Here’s How (And Why You Should)

Open Headunit, previously known as Headunit Revived or Headunit Reloaded, is available for .99 and .99 respectively. To use an old tablet as a head unit, purchase and install the app on the device, connect it to a phone using a USB OTG cable, and select the USB connection in the app. Wireless connectivity options are available for both apps, including using a wireless Android Auto dongle, a native Wi-Fi P2P connection, or the third-party app Wireless Helper. Wi-Fi Launcher can be paired with Headunit Reloaded for a similar experience. The Android Auto developer server allows broadcasting a self-hosted server to run Android Auto on a single device. Utilizing Android Auto can enhance productivity by allowing users to read messages, check notifications, and access smart home controls while minimizing distractions. Setting up an old device creatively can enhance a workspace, as virtually any device can serve as a display for the head unit apps.

Ashly Burch, voice of Horizon’s Aloy and star of Mythic Quest, is currently obsessed with Slay the Spire 2 and thinks videogames have too many stoic characters: ‘I want more sh*tty little b*tches’

Ashly Burch began her gaming journey with a Donkey Kong knockoff on her mother's typing practice computer and was significantly influenced by LucasArts' Day of the Tentacle. She gained recognition through the online sketch show Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin' and is known for her voice roles as Tiny Tina in Borderlands 2, Chloe in Life is Strange, Parvati Holcomb in The Outer Worlds, and Aloy in Guerrilla Games' Horizon series. Burch is currently working on a YouTube comedy series called I'm Happy You're Here, which aims to make mental health discussions more accessible. She is currently playing The Incident at Galley House, a detective game, and has uninstalled Fields of Mistria after spending many hours on it. Her Steam Deck still has Kentucky Route Zero installed, a game she hasn't finished due to its abstract nature. Burch has logged 270 hours in Slay the Spire and considers League of Legends, especially its ARAM mode, a game she will never uninstall. She uses Audacity for voice auditions and maintains a tidy desktop to support her creative process.
