Google's recent Quick Share update, intended to streamline file sharing between Pixel 10 devices and Apple users, has inadvertently led to Wi-Fi connectivity issues, leaving many users frustrated as their connections drop at the mere touch of the app (as spotted by Piunika Web). Some users took to Google's forum to report that opening the Quick Share menu immediately kills the phone's Wi-Fi connection. The user said that as soon as they opened the sharing menu to send a file, the Wi-Fi disconnected. And when they try to reconnect while the menu is open, the network list shows their network, but they won't connect to it. According to several reports so far, this issue stems from the new Quick Share extension update (1.0.815689706). According to another user on Reddit, their Pixel 10 Pro XL began malfunctioning immediately…...

Google has stealthily slashed access limits for its popular Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro tools, adjusting free-tier users' daily prompts amid soaring demand, leaving many to navigate new restrictions without prior warning in a rapidly changing digital landscape. Since its debut, Gemini 3 Pro used to let you make five prompts a day, but now Google only promises "basic access," meaning the limits can change based on demand. Nano Banana Pro also cut the number of free image creations from three to two per day. Google didn't make a big announcement about these changes; they just showed up on the updated support page, first noticed by 9to5Google. More people are using Gemini 3 Pro than Google probably expected. The model offers better reasoning, more features, and clearer visuals thanks to Nano Banana Pro's improved rendering…...

As Samsung prepares for the anticipated release of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, whispers of a striking blackout design emerge from industry insiders, hinting at an innovative take on aesthetics that could redefine flagship smartphone styling for 2026. The tipster states, "This time, the Galaxy S26 Ultra black version features a black frame." However, it seems consumers might be in for a slight visual anomaly if this happens. The post on X states, "overall visual bezel is inevitably wider," because of the black edges around the display. The bezels are the black border around a display, a distinct marker that separates the display from its edges. If that and the frame is black, it might give the illusion that the S26 Ultr has massive bezels, when that (might not) be the case. This time, the Galaxy S26 Ultra black version features a…...
