Google Search as you know it is over

Google just announced the biggest transformation in Search history. Powered by Google’s Gemini 3.5 Flash, the new AI-first Search replaces traditional link-based results with conversational answers, AI agents, and task automation. Users can now ask follow-up questions naturally, book tickets or restaurants directly from Search, and get personalized responses using data from apps like Gmail and Calendar. Google is essentially turning Search from a search engine into a full AI assistant which could massively reduce clicks to traditional websites.

Google just gave us our first look at Pixel Glow on the upcoming Pixel 11 series — it’s basically Google’s answer to Nothing’s Glyph

At Google I/O, Pixel 11 got a first look at Pixel Glow, a notification lighting system built into the phone. It lights up for calls, messages, and alerts, giving visual feedback without turning on the screen. Think Nothing Glyph, but Google style.

My work laptop stays on for almost 14 to 15 hours every day. After three years, the battery is practically dead and lasts no more than 20 minutes on heavy performance mode. Is this normal?

Microsoft admits faulty drivers were killing Windows 11 battery life for years

Microsoft just admitted that bad drivers in Windows 11 have been wrecking battery life on a bunch of laptops for years. The issue was tied to CPUs not properly entering low-power states, so even when machines were idle or sleeping, they were still draining way more power than they should’ve.

A lot of users have complained forever about Windows laptops randomly running hot, fans kicking on for no reason, or losing huge chunks of battery overnight in sleep mode.

Apparently some of that wasn’t placebo or “Windows being Windows”, it was actually caused by broken driver behavior affecting power management.

The fix is now rolling out through updated drivers and Windows updates. Microsoft says newer systems should see better battery life and lower power usage once everything is updated, although results probably depend on whatever custom drivers laptop manufacturers are shipping.

Why Laptop chargers are not that powerful?

The above plugged charger is from Xiaomi phone 120 watt. It literally charged the phone in less than 15 minutes.

Whereas the lower charger is a Dell Latitude 5520 charger, just 65 watts and it is so bulky.

Edit- I'm so noob in tech, I didn't know there was a 330 Watt charger for laptops. Sorry guys for asking immature questions and thanks for explaining so elaborately.

India’s first semiconductor fab: why “only 28nm” is not a bad thing

I’ve seen a lot of people dismiss India’s upcoming chip fab by saying things like, “It’s only 28nm, TSMC is already at 3nm.”

But that comparison is not really fair.

Not every chip needs to be cutting-edge. The chips used in cars, routers, washing machines, smart meters, industrial machines, displays, power management, and many IoT devices don’t need 3nm. They need to be cheap, reliable, and available in large numbers.

That’s where mature nodes like 28nm, 40nm, 55nm, etc. are still very important.

India is not going to beat TSMC or Samsung on day one, and honestly, that shouldn’t even be the expectation. Building a semiconductor ecosystem takes years. You need cleanrooms, skilled engineers, supply chains, chemicals, equipment, packaging, testing, and most importantly, experience.

So yes, this fab probably won’t make the next iPhone chip.

But if it can help India produce chips for cars, appliances, telecom, power electronics and industrial use, that’s still a big step.

I think people focus too much on the “nm” number and miss the bigger picture. For India, starting with mature nodes is probably the practical move.

What do you think — should India first focus on mature chip manufacturing, or try to jump directly into advanced nodes?

I kinda like the new design of Gemini

Tho it looks like a copy of ChatGPT, it looks so good especially the blue light and grey light in temporary mode.
