11+ min ago (1103+ words) I've run more miles in 2025 than ever before, using these gadgets to stay in the zone and fight off injury. One reason I love running is that it's not an expensive sport. You buy a few dependable things and make them last. I've worn one pair of Brooks running shoes for 700+ miles in 2025, my shirts come from races I ran years ago, and my Nordstrom Rack sock packs have survived for a decade. That said, running that many miles is easier when you have certain tech and tools to support you! I regularly review fitness watches from Garmin, Google, COROS, and others, and I've spent Black Friday covering the best wearable tech deals available, including this Garmin Cyber Monday watch deal guide. Whether you're buying things for yourself or the runner in your life, these are the Cyber Monday running…...

We're in the midst of the biggest deals of the year, and that means it's the right time to buy your tech gadgets and save a bunch of cash. Smart shopping saves you money, but it's also a way to build your own kit of gear that "just works." You don't have to use the same brand for everything, but you might want to. We all know that you can use any phone, any laptop, any tablet, and so on, and things can work together to make life a little bit easier. But there's often a benefit to buying products from the same company. Some, like Apple's products, have features that only work with other…...

3+ hour, 49+ min ago (1008+ words) We love the deals, too! This is the time of year all of us here at AC are on the lookout for the perfect Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. While the perfect deal probably doesn't exist, plenty come close. We tell you about them, but we also jump on them and get our gadget on whenever we can. Here are the highlights of what the AC staff bought this year, which will hopefully give you some ideas of what you can buy. I actually bought quite a few things for Black Friday (a 2TB microSD card, cables, hard drive enclosures, etc.), but I'm most excited about some new beard lights. My little one is almost two, so it should be fun seeing his reaction on Christmas morning. This whopper of an SD card from SanDisk is not only fast with…...

3+ hour, 51+ min ago (329+ words) Google is hiding long links and prioritizing content with new Messages previews. Google is updating the Messages app with new link previews for websites and YouTube videos, as spotted by 9to5Google. The new-look link previews emphasize website titles and thumbnails, while obscuring the specific URL. Google Messages' updated link previews also hide the site description, making the entire preview card appear larger and cleaner. Previously, link previews included color-themed shading for the site URL, which appeared as a text bubble above the thumbnail. Below the thumbnail, you could find the title, description, and general site URL (for example, androidcentral.com). Essentially, the previews displayed a stretched version of the article or video thumbnail sandwiched by the link URL and text preview. Google Messages now cuts out most of the previously-displayed information, instead choosing to show a larger thumbnail and title, hiding…...

4+ hour, 12+ min ago (351+ words) A one-of-a-kind design and great sound? Say less! Nothing blew into the over-ear headphone scene with Headphone 1, a wireless ANC offering with audio tuning from KEF. It'll last up to 80 hours with ANC off, and has an eight-band EQ in the Nothing X companion app for audio personalization. Plus, it features Nothing's stunning transparent design.

You can quickly pick a few preset EQ options to immediately change the sound, or adjust each of the eight EQ bands separately with precise control. I can turn the…...

4+ hour, 54+ min ago (317+ words) The bridge seems a bit wonky. 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…...
