On Wednesday, Google introduced another key feature to its outstanding NotebookLM AI research tool. Besides local sources, you can now find and add relevant web sources directly within NotebookLM. Dubbed “Discover Sources,” this feature lets you describe the topic you are researching, and NotebookLM searches the web to curate relevant sources.

Once you have found useful sources, you can select and add them to your NotebookLM project to gather more information on the topic. To give you an example, if you are researching CPU performance in AI workloads and have already uploaded local sources, you can now expand your research and add more information from the web.

You can search how GPUs compare to CPUs in delivering better AI performance to build a broader knowledge base in your NotebookLM project. This way, you can gather new information and create an all-around project. Note that NotebookLM only offers 10 sources with annotated summaries for each web source.

Apart from that, NotebookLM now offers an “I’m Feeling Curious” button that picks a random topic and generates sources, allowing new users to understand how NotebookLM works. In addition, recently, Google added support for Mind Maps in NotebookLM.

The interactive Mind Map visually summarizes your sources to help you understand concepts through branching diagrams. You can understand the overall structure of the concept and key themes, letting you connect different ideas and their relationships.

In related news, Semafor reports that Google has reshuffled its AI leadership to make Gemini its leading AI product. Sissie Hsiao, who was leading Gemini, is being replaced by Josh Woodward, the head of Google Labs, who played a key role in launching NotebookLM. Since NotebookLM has gained traction under Woodward, it will be interesting to see how his leadership shapes Gemini’s future.

Qualcomm has officially introduced its latest high-end mobile chipset, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. Internally known as SM8735, the chip is built on TSMC’s N4P 4nm process but sticks with the older Kryo CPU instead of the Oryon core in the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Qualcomm Unveils the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4: Faster, More Efficient, and AI-Optimized

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 features an eight-core setup:

• 1x Cortex-X4 (up to 3.2GHz)
• 3x Cortex-A720 (3.0GHz)
• 2x Cortex-A720 (2.8GHz)
• 2x Cortex-A720 (2.0GHz)

Qualcomm claims a 31% speed boost over the previous Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, while also being 39% more power-efficient.

Graphics and Gaming Enhancements

The Adreno 825 GPU offers a significant 49% graphics performance increase compared to its predecessor. Gamers can enjoy features like:

• On-device ray tracing
• Snapdragon Elite Gaming features
• Snapdragon Game Super Resolution 2.0
• Adreno Image Motion Engine 2.0

AI, Imaging, and Connectivity Upgrades

The updated Hexagon NPU improves on-device AI performance by 44%, while the 18-bit triple ISP supports:

• Up to 320MP camera sensors
• 4K 60fps HDR video recording

The chip integrates the Snapdragon X75 5G modem for connectivity, delivering peak download speeds of 4.2Gbps—but it only supports sub-6GHz 5G, not mmWave. Other connectivity features include:

• Wi-Fi 7
• Bluetooth 6.0
• USB 3.1 Gen 2
• UFS 4.0 storage
• LPDDR5X RAM

Additionally, Qualcomm’s Extended Personal Area Network (XPAN) enhances wireless audio transmission and is already supported by devices like the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro.

Launch and Availability

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is set to debut on the iQOO Z10 Turbo later this month, with more devices from Xiaomi, Oppo, Meizu, and others to follow soon.

Fans have been longing for the release date announcement of the upcoming CSM movie and the Japanese release date was revealed at the Anime Japan 2025 event recently. As expected, the international release date for Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc has been shared today by MAPPA Studios.

Sony Pictures has secured the rights for the theatrical release of Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc around the world. Thus, during the Sony presentation at CinemaCon 2025, it was revealed that the Chainsaw Man Reze Arc movie will be released in the United States on October 29, 2025.

There has been a weird glitch with Apple’s latest iOS 18.4 update. A subset of users have observed that apps previously deleted from their iPhones ‘magically’ reappeared. Many have taken to Reddit as well as social media platforms, and even Apple’s support pages to share their experiences.

iOS 18.4 Glitch Brings Back Deleted Apps on iPhones

For the past twenty-four hours, we have observed that a wide range of iPhone users are reporting issues regarding the apps and games that they had uninstalled on their phones are resurfacing post the update to iOS 18.4. A few of the users claim that these apps are unrecognizable to them.

The problem seems to stem from a bug with iOS 18.4’s latest version. Apple had launched this version a few days back on Monday where they added some features along with a couple of tweaks. This issue however, appears to be a step backwards is puzzling for a lot of people.

Does Not Have to Do With Automatic Downloads

Initially, some assumed the problem might be due to Apple’s ‘Automatic Downloads’ setting. This option downloads apps that have been purchased on one Apple device and installs them on all devices which use the same user ID. The majority of users claiming to be affected do not own other Apple devices. Hence this would suggest that the problem is not related to the Automatic Download.

Furthermore, other users who have never jailbroken their phones and use only the App Store for downloading apps are experiencing the problem which shows that the bug stems directly from the iOS update.

Potential Reasons and How Apple Responded

The exact cause of this bug remains unclear. Some users believe Apple’s cloud backup system restores old app data, leading to the issue. Others think it affects only certain device models or regions, as not everyone encounters the problem.

Apple has yet to issue an official statement. For the time being, customers can cope with the problem by erasing the apps that keep coming back, and doing so repeatedly. Most people await an update from Apple that would solidly resolve the problem.

What Comes Next

For those who are impacted, reaching out to Apple Support can help. This has the potential of leading to swifter solutions. For now, people need to monitor their app library to make sure they erase any apps they do not wish to have, at least for the time being. An impending release is expected from Apple.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here, and with such pricey tech in your hands, you would want the best protection for it. As the Switch 2 is bigger in dimensions than the original, finding the right fit for your console can be a bit of a hassle. So, if you can’t wait to preorder the Switch 2, consider pairing it with a firm case to preserve your investment. Here is a list of some of the best cases for the Nintendo Switch 2 that will go perfectly with your handheld.

1. Dbrand Switch 2 Killswitch

If you are looking for an overall solution for protection for the Nintendo Switch 2, the Dbrand Killswitch is a perfect bundle for you. The Dbrand Switch 2 bundle comes in a complete package that includes a Killswitch Case, OEM Dock Adapter, Travel Cover, Game Card Holder, Stick Grips, and Skin Screen Protectors.

The Joy-Cons 2 are also comfortably detachable and have a firm grip. You can select specific accessories from the bundle or get the full one for complete protection. The Killswitch case also works with the Dock, so you won’t need to take the case off for TV mode usage. The reservation price is $3, but the final price will, of course, be higher.

2. Spigen Rugged Armor

If sturdiness is more important to you, the Spigen Rugged Armor case for the Switch 2 is the best choice. This premium TPU case protects your Switch 2 from shocks and drops and features sleek carbon fiber detailing for a custom look.

Its ergonomic, textured grip ensures a solid hold during gameplay. Precise cutouts allow full access to controls and ports, and a wrist strap is included for portability. However, the case does not provide the option to remove Joy-Cons, and the case must be removed before docking to the TV.

3. Jsaux Split Protective Case

Crafted from rigid, wear-resistant materials, the Jsaux Split Protective case protects your Nintendo Switch 2, shielding the screen, edges, and back from drops, scratches, and daily impacts. Its clever modular split design allows for easy Joy-Con 2 detachment, making transitions between handheld and TV modes effortless. Installation and removal are hassle-free.

Enjoy comfortable, long gaming sessions with the ergonomic grip and maintain optimal performance thanks to precise cutouts for all ports and a breathable design aligned with the console’s heat dissipation areas. The case does not miss out on aesthetics, as it provides a transparent design.

4. Jsaux Ergonomic Battle Armor Protective Case

Similar to the Split protective case, Battle Armor does not compromise on the style department. However, justifying the name Battle Armor, this case provides more protection overall. Even in terms of ergonomics, this case is better.

The only issue with the Jsaux Ergonomic Battle Armor Protective Case is the lack of direct dock support. You must take off the cover to use it on a dock. Moreover, your Joy-Con 2 won’t be detachable if you are using this case. But what matters more is that if you are an extensive hardcore gamer, you will need solid ergonomics like the Battle Armor.

5. NINKI Silicone Cover

Silicone covers are not the best for protection, but they are a perfect fit in the style department. The NINKI Silicone Cover is designed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 (2025), ensuring precise port and button compatibility.

It is constructed from TPU and PC materials. It offers dual-layer protection against drops and scratches while maintaining a sleek profile. The case features enhanced corner cushions, raised edges for shockproof defense, a built-in kickstand, and an ergonomic design for comfortable gameplay. If you want my opinion on this, go for the white one.

6. Jsaux Split Transparent Ergonomic Protective Case

If protection is your least priority and all you care about is the style, Jsaux has a crystal-clear solution. No, literally. You can get the Jsaux Split Transparent Ergonomic Protective Case that comes with a perfect transparent style.

It helps you showcase all the aesthetics of the Switch successor easily. Despite such a sleek design, the ergonomics are not compromised in this case. You also get the easy Joy-Con 2 removal and dockable features that keep you from having to take off the case frequently.

7. WUNIAK Silicone Case

The silicone case from WUNIAK is all about style, which is why it is the cheapest option. For an investment of under $10, you get soft, durable, elastic silicone material providing complete protection against scratches, bumps, anti-shock, and anti-slip.

The surface is treated with a special oil spray for anti-fingerprint and dustproof solutions. Moreover, the Joy-Con 2 is detachable, which fits the new Nintendo controller.

And these are all the best Switch 2 cases you can get to protect your new handheld. As not all of the cases support the dock system, choose yours carefully according to your needs. Do you like any of these cases? Tell us in the comments section below.

Nintendo Switch 2 Direct announced a lot of exciting news about the latest handheld.

So keep reading as we tell you about the Nintendo Switch 2 compatible accessories you can look forward to.

Nintendo Switch 2 Compatible Accessories

While some accessories from the past consoles will work with Nintendo Switch 2, there are certain limits to their usage due to hardware changes. Keeping this in mind, here is the list of all Switch 1 accessories that will be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2:

1. Joy-Cons

Joy-Cons can be wirelessly paired with the Switch 2 but cannot be attached to it. Furthermore, to recharge them, you’ll need a Switch 1 Joy-Con compatible charging accessory, like the Joy-Con charging grip or a stand.

2. Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

Similar to Joy-Cons, a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller can be paired wirelessly with Switch 2. It can also be charged using the Switch 2 dock with a USB cable, making it the most flexible accessory of all.

3. Nintendo Entertainment System Controller

The Nintendo Entertainment System Controller can be paired wirelessly with Switch 2 and only works with compatible games. However, they cannot be attached to the Nintendo Switch 2. To recharge it, you’ll need a Switch console or a Joy-Con charging stand.

4. Super Nintendo Entertainment System Controller

Similar to the Switch Pro Controller, this one can be connected wirelessly to the Nintendo Switch 2. It can also be charged easily using the Switch 2 dock with a USB cable, and it will work with certain Nintendo Switch 2 games.

5. Nintendo 64 Controller

Moving on, we have the Nintendo 64 Controller, which can be paired with Switch 2 wirelessly. Again, you can charge it with the Nintendo Switch 2 dock using a USB cable. It will also works with compatible games.

6. SEGA Genesis Control Pad

Now, even if you have a SEGA Genesis Control Pad, don’t worry—this one is compatible with the Switch 2 as well. Simply connect it wirelessly with the new console and then use the Switch 2 dock to charge it with a USB cable.

7. Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter

This Nintendo Switch 1 accessory is compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 and can be connected with its USB port to use the accessory in TV mode.

Non-Compatible Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories

Now that you are aware of all the things that would easily work with the Nintendo Switch 2, here is the list of all those accessories that won’t be compatible with the upcoming console.

1. Adjustable Charging Stand for Nintendo Switch

Unfortunately, the Switch 1 Charging Stand can’t be used with Nintendo Switch 2.

2. Nintendo Switch Dock

The Nintendo Switch Dock can’t be used to charge your Switch 2, obviously, due to the change in its hardware.

3. Nintendo Switch AC adapter

You can use the Nintendo Switch AC adaptor to charge your Switch 2 console; however, due to the change in power outputs, this accessory can’t be used to view the Switch 2 screen in TV mode

4. HDMI cable included with Nintendo Switch

The old HDMI cable cannot be used with Nintendo Switch 2, and it is highly recommended that you use the new one included in the Switch 2 box.

5. microSD cards

As per the latest Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo has confirmed the new console will only accept the microSD Express cards that allow fast data transfer. Hence, the old microSD cards will be unusable except for viewing the screenshots and videos.

6. Joy-Con Strap

The old Joy-Con Straps cannot be used with the new Switch 2 controllers. So, you’ll need the Switch 1 Joy-Cons to connect these straps and then pair them wirelessly with Switch 2.

7. Joy-Con Grip

Similarly, the Switch 1 Joy-Con Grips are not compatible with Switch 2, and you will need the previous ones to make them usable.

8. Joy-Con Charging Grip

This charging grip cannot be used with the Switch 2 Joy-Cons; it is only compatible with the previous ones that can be connected to Switch 2 wirelessly.

9. Joy-Con Wheel

This Wheel cannot be used with Joy-Con 2 controllers. You’ll need the previous Joy-Cons, which you can then connect with Switch 2.

10. Leg Strap

The Leg Strap is compatible with only Switch 1 Joy-Cons that can be further connected with Switch 2 wirelessly.

11. Ring-Con

It can only be used with Switch 1 Joy Cons, which can be further paired with Switch wirelessly.

12. Joy-Con AA Battery Pack Pair

Needless to say, the Joy-Con AA Battery pack will only fit the Switch 1 controllers and not the Nintendo Switch 2.

13. Joy-Con Charging Stand (Two-Way)

Finally, we have the Joy-Con Charging stand that does not support the Switch 2 controllers. Moreover, you’ll need this item to charge your Switch 1 Joy-Cons if you’re using them to play on your Switch 2 wirelessly.

And now you know if Nintendo Switch 1 accessories will work with the Switch 2. Speaking of, have you pre-ordered the Switch 2 yet? Let us know in the comments below!
