Apple Watch users can now check their Google Calendar right on their wrist—no phone needed. This marks the fourth Google app to land on the wearable, joining the likes of Gmail and Maps.

Editor’s Note: For anyone juggling Apple and Google ecosystems, this is a small but meaningful win. It streamlines daily tasks and makes the Watch a bit more versatile—especially for folks who rely on Google’s tools but prefer Apple’s hardware. Not a game-changer, but definitely a quality-of-life upgrade.

The gritty crime drama Sinners is making waves by becoming the first show on Max to offer a version fully translated into Black American Sign Language (BASL). This isn’t just about accessibility—it’s a recognition of BASL as a distinct dialect with its own cultural roots, giving Deaf Black audiences a more authentic viewing experience.

Editor’s Note: Representation isn’t just about who’s on screen—it’s also about how stories reach people. By embracing BASL, Max is acknowledging a linguistic and cultural nuance often overlooked in mainstream media. For the Deaf Black community, this isn’t just subtitles; it’s seeing their language and identity centered in a way that’s still rare. It sets a bar for other streamers to follow suit.

The US Justice Department just dropped a bombshell: over 80 Americans had their identities stolen by North Korean operatives running IT worker scams. These weren’t just isolated incidents—authorities also busted "laptop farms" (basically hubs where foreign workers pose as US-based tech employees) and made one arrest. It’s part of a broader crackdown on North Korea’s shady tactics to skirt sanctions and fund its regime through fraudulent remote work schemes.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about stolen Social Security numbers—it’s a glimpse into how North Korea’s regime bankrolls itself by exploiting global tech job markets. For everyday Americans, it’s a reminder that identity theft can come from unexpected places (even state-sponsored hackers). For businesses, it’s a wake-up call to vet remote hires more carefully. And geopolitically? It shows how sanctions evasion keeps getting more creative.

Dreame's new AirPursue PM20 isn’t your average air purifier—it’s like having a smart, personal breeze of clean air. Using built-in radar, it detects where you are in a room and directs purified air right at you, following you around like an invisible butler with a fresh-air fan.

Editor’s Note: Air purifiers are nothing new, but one that actively chases you with clean air? That’s a clever twist. For people sensitive to allergens or pollution, this could be a game-changer—no more waiting for the whole room to filter. It’s also a sign of how everyday gadgets are getting smarter, blending automation with personal comfort in ways that feel almost futuristic.

If you've been eyeing a durable, high-capacity portable SSD, now's your chance to grab one at a steal. Amazon's slashing nearly half off the 6TB Crucial X10—a tough little drive that works across devices—in what looks like a sneak peek of Prime Day 2025 deals.

Editor’s Note: Solid-state drives aren't cheap, especially rugged ones with massive storage. This discount matters because it's rare to see such a hefty price drop on reliable tech—perfect for photographers, travelers, or anyone who needs to lug around big files without worrying about bumps or drops. Timing it before Prime Day? That's just a bonus for folks who hate waiting in checkout chaos.

Anker has issued yet another recall—this time for five of its power banks due to potential safety risks. If you own one of these models, stop using it right away. The good news? They’re offering free replacements, and the article explains how to check if your device is affected.

Editor’s Note: Power banks are something most of us rely on daily, so a recall like this isn’t just a minor inconvenience—it’s a real safety concern. Anker’s quick replacement offer helps, but repeated recalls might make customers think twice before trusting the brand. If you’ve got one of these models, better safe than sorry—check and swap it out.

Editor’s Note: Prime Day has turned into a shopping frenzy, and these early leaks give bargain hunters a head start. With inflation still a concern, snagging a solid deal on big-ticket items—especially tech—can save serious cash. Plus, who doesn’t love feeling like they outsmarted the system by shopping early?

Remember that big TikTok deal that got stuck in US-China trade drama? Turns out, the same group of investors—Oracle, Blackstone, and Andreessen Horowitz—that Trump mentioned earlier is still in the running to buy TikTok's US operations. It’s like a corporate version of "we’re still here!" after months of uncertainty.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t exactly breaking news, but it’s a reminder that the TikTok saga isn’t over. The app’s fate in the US is still tangled in politics and big-money negotiations, and this group’s persistence suggests they think they can make it work—if the geopolitical winds ever calm down. For users and creators, it’s another "wait and see" moment.
