More evidence that the Google Pixel 6a will use a Google Tensor chipset has surfaced, along with possible info about how powerful the rumored budget handset could be. The Geekbench benchmark result for what is supposedly the Pixel 6a was spotted by MySmartPrice (opens in new tab), and it backs up previous rumors about the device which have pointed to it having a generous amount of processing power. While there’s no guarantee that the information is accurate, the chip data registered as part of the benchmark, such as the type and arrangement of the chip’s eight cores and its GPU, matches up with that seen on the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, the two phones that introduced the Tensor chip....

Those would be the Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro, both announced earlier this month during Google’s October Pixel event. Those phones feature the new Tensor G2 silicon which introduces a number of machine learning-powered features in the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.

The Steam Deck is, for all intents and purposes, a Linux PC.

This means that once out of the limited default Gaming Mode, which pretty much confines you to just the standard Steam App, you can use your deck to do what you’d do on a normal PC....

Best of all, the Photo Unblur tool doesn’t just work on images shot by the Pixel 7 cameras. Any photo stored in your Google Photos app is fair game for Photo Unblur, even if you shot it with another device entirely — like an iPhone. The feature is limited to the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro; not even Tensor-equipped Pixel 6 models can access Photo Unblur.

Trying to watch The Witcher shouldn’t have been so complicated. I should have been able to just give it a chance, and give up. But something kept telling me I should be in on the show. Not only does The Witcher seem to have a soft spot in many of my friends’ conversations — leaving me feeling left out — but it’s getting a strong grip on the public, possibly becoming one of the bigger shows today....
