  • A16z-backed super PAC targets NY AI regulator sponsor in congressional bid
    November 18, 2025, 5:08 AM EST. A pro-AI policy super PAC backed by Andreessen Horowitz and OpenAI President Greg Brockman has targeted New York Assembly member Alex Bores as he runs for Congress. Leading the Future plans a multibillion-dollar push for a light-touch - or no-touch - approach to AI regulation, aiming at policymakers who want tighter rules. Backers include Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale and AI firm Perplexity. Bores is the sponsor of New York's bipartisan RAISE Act, which would require safety plans from large AI labs, disclose incidents, and impose penalties for noncompliance, with a potential $30 million cap. He says he consulted OpenAI and Anthropic during drafting. He argues the bill balances safety with innovation, while Silicon Valley contends it could undermine competitiveness.
  • Ditching the Tablet for a Portable Monitor: My Gaming Sidecar Upgrade
    November 18, 2025, 5:06 AM EST. Trading an aging iPad for a portable monitor transformed my setup. Instead of juggling a tablet as a gaming sidecar to track Discord and stream chat, I switched to the HP Series 5 Pro 514pn, which plugs into my gaming tower for a seamless second screen. The Gen 4 iPad was too old to run current iPadOS, making app stability unreliable and even a Linux switch cumbersome. With a single, compact monitor, I keep chat visible without tabbing out of games, preserve desk space, and enjoy a faster workflow during raids and co-op sessions. The result: a cleaner, more productive gaming life.
  • Android November Update: New Play Store and Play Services Features Across Devices
    November 18, 2025, 5:02 AM EST. Google is rolling out the November Android updates via Play Store 48.8 and Play Services 25.44. Key changes include the ability to uninstall apps from the store across all linked devices, plus a new Manage apps and devices view to track active subscriptions and Play Points. On the user side, live video during emergency calls can be shared with dispatchers, enhancing situational awareness. A confirmation prompts before blocking apps (e.g., Gemini via parental controls) and ongoing improvements to parental controls were also announced, with earlier updates (version 25.43) expanding school mode and supervised contacts. Developers gain updated Google Maps integrations in this release; many updates roll out progressively via Play Services and Play Store without full device updates.
  • YouTube Music tests 'Find in playlist' search to fix long-standing playlist headache
    November 18, 2025, 4:58 AM EST. Google's YouTube Music is piloting a long-requested Find in playlist feature that lets you search inside large playlists. Spotted in iOS version 8.45.3 in India, the rollout appears extremely limited and likely part of an A/B test. Android users may not see it yet, and some saved radios in the Library may not support the search. If and when fully rolling out, the feature would let you open a playlist, tap the three-dot menu, and type to locate songs inside big lists- a usability upgrade that brings YouTube Music closer to Spotify's behavior. For now, updates may appear for only selected accounts, so patience is required as the rollouts continue.
  • YouTube Music tests 'Find in playlist' search feature, limited iPhone rollout
    November 18, 2025, 4:56 AM EST. YouTube Music is testing a new feature called Find in playlist that lets users search for specific tracks inside a playlist without scrolling. The option appears in the playlist's three-dot overflow menu, just below Shuffle play, and requires typing the song name to jump directly to it. So far, the rollout is limited to select iPhone users on app version 8.45.3, with no confirmed Android release date. Google is conducting A/B testing, so accessibility varies by account. The feature currently works only with standard playlists, not radio playlists in your library. If widely adopted, it could streamline navigation across long collections, with expansion to more playlists and platforms expected later.
