Samsung Galaxy S26 FE passes through the FCC

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 FE has now received the official nod from the FCC, which means it probably is launching next month, just like its predecessor did last year.

Google Assistant is shutting down, here’s when

Google is going to be shutting down the Google Assistant service, now that Gemini is taking over. The Google Assistant shutdown will commence on September 4, but it "may take a few weeks" to reach everyone who's still using it. This shutdown will take effect on Android and Wear OS, but also on headphones (since they were using the phone's Google Assistant anyway) and vehicles running Android Auto (since, again, it was basically the Google Assistant on the phone that was being used). On cars with Google built-in (aka running Android Automotive), the Google Assistant will continue to...
