YouTube TV rolls out multiview feature amid price hike
It looks like YouTube TV has had a change of heart and is rolling out Multi View support to everyone.
YouTube dropped a pretty big piece of news yesterday, alerting new and existing customers that it would be increasing the price of its YouTube TV service, rising from an already high $65 per month to an eye-watering $73. As you can imagine, this news was not received well, and many on the internet swore that they'd be canceling service once their month came to an end. Then, something happened, and YouTube began the wide release of its multiview feature people have been requesting for quite some time.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 vs Google Pixel Buds Pro: Which flagship wireless earbuds should you buy?
The Google Pixel Buds Pro are a bit more expensive than the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're better.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 might look the same as last year's model, but they feature some impressive changes on the inside. OnePlus' second-gen flagship earbuds feature an updated dual-driver setup that greatly enhances audio output, improved active noise cancelation (ANC) with three microphones on each earbud, longer battery life, and cool features like spatial audio with head-tracking. They're also priced at just under $200, so they undercut the best wireless earbuds from Samsung, Google, and Apple.
Hackers can take control of some Samsung or Pixel phones with just your phone number
If you don't have the March 2023 security update, you should probably disable Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE.
We trust our smartphones with pretty much everything in our lives, and in return, we expect them to be secure and safeguarded against attacks. That's usually the case, and monthly security updates go a long way in protecting our data. However, if you have a Google Pixel or a Samsung phone, you should probably be wary. Google's Project Zero, its bug-hunting team, has identified eighteen security vulnerabilities that affect Exynos modems, and combining them can give an attacker full control over your smartphone without you even knowing.

Google ceases sales of Glass Enterprise Edition with support ending in September 2023
Google Glass Enterprise Edition sales have been discontinued and support for the device will end later this year.
While it stopped being part of the conversation long ago, Google Glass made a fairly significant impact on the technology world when it was first launched back in 2013. For the most part, it never really caught on, with only enthusiasts and developers picking up the costly device. Also, the product managed to spark a global conversation around privacy not only in the technology community but also in the general media. Although the original Google Glass was discontinued back in 2015, its successor, the Glass Enterprise Edition, was later released and aimed more for commercial use. Now, tens years after the initial launch of Google Glass, the company is finally winding the project down, discontinuing sales of the Enterprise Edition and discontinuing support later this year.
Google working on 'Video Unblur' feature that could arrive with Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro
It looks like Google is cooking up a new Video Unblur feature that could make its debut with the upcoming Pixel 8 series devices.
Google's Photo Unblur feature was pure magic when it made its debut late last year, giving users the ability to take blurred photos and making them usable. While the feature has remained an exclusive to Pixel 7 series devices, it looks like the folks at Google could be working on similar feature that will tackle blurry videos.
YouTube TV started off in 2017 with a price tag of $35 per month. Over the past years, the cost has slowly risen, and in some cases, making it cheaper to subscribe to TV packages from traditional cable providers. Now, the company has announced that it will raise its rates to $73 per month for new customers, and for current customers, the price increase will be reflected starting next month.

ARCore is a pretty cool technology that allows for augmented reality wizardry on any Android phone. Learn more about it here!
Google has tried to tap into the augmented reality world several times. Augmented reality, commonly known as AR, when used properly, can potentially be life-changing technology, but no tech company has yet managed to master it. Apple has taken the approach of using dedicated hardware, such as the LiDAR scanner included in iPads and iPhones, while other companies, like Google, are pulling everything off through software only. We're definitely getting closer to perfect AR, however, and Google is one of the companies leading the pack, with their augmented reality SDK and technology, which is dubbed 'ARCore'.
