PSA Google Assistant can read webpages for you out loud

Open up Google Assistant and tell it "read this" and it will read and highlight where it is reading. It sounds really good too, it doesn't sound very robotic.

I just wanted to listen to an article while I was preparing my breakfast and I found out that since sometime last year, Google Assistant can read articles for you. It's so strange that this was not advertised or anything and not many seemed to have known about it.

Now I hope that they don't get rid of it because I'm assuming not many use...

Samsung today started copyright striking images and videos of their unreleased products. Some of the leaked images will dissappear within the next few days. This is just the beginning - Max Jambor

Careful, @MaxJmb. As "someone who can make big tech companies get really nervous," it's best not to appear too gleeful in these situations. Karma can be...well you know the rest. - evleaks

It's primarily about the sites that posted the leaks (e.g. 91Mobiles,...). Normal YouTuber and Co. who have only covered are not affected. Big problem are just the official assets that g...

Which phone has had your absolute favorite shape, out of all the ones you've owned?

For me, I just could not get enough of my LG G3.

It was just so ahead of its time in terms of the form factor. The curved back and the slim edges made it just disappear into your hand.

And then a 16:9 5.5 inch display to top it off.

Just a marvelous piece of tech-- or it would have been if not for LG's hardware issues bricking 2 of the phones for me.

I swear if LG kept the G3/G4 form factor indefinitely, instead of going candy bar with the awful G5 and disappointing G6 they would still have ...
