Google is finally rolling out support for dark mode on Google Drive. Over the next two weeks, all personal and Workspace users will have the option to work in the dark by going to Drive > Appearance > Dark. 

That’s apparently the name of what we’ve been calling the Pixel Fold 2 for the past year, according to Android Authority. Google is reportedly adding a Pixel 9 Pro XL to its lineup, too.

Sometimes I need Chrome extensions to do my job. Sometimes I can’t do my job until whichever one’s misbehaving gets out of my face. So please let this be true.

Also, TIL there’s now a paid version of Chrome for enterprise with extra security?

Motorola is teasing what seems to be an “arty” new Edge phone coming next week, and it looks like we can expect fast wired charging on what the company has dubbed a “masterpiece.” That’s a bold claim, but the last Moto phone I used sure was a good-looking device — personally I’m hoping for more of that lovely vegan leather and less ugly bloatware.

Google is preparing to add a Subscriptions section to Gmail that will supposedly let you unsubscribe from mailing lists, newsletters, and other subscription-based emails right in one central place.

If it lives up to that promise, I could not be more here for it. And I’d like to have it right now. This second. Thank you very much.

The sleep page in the Fitbit app will now sport a more streamlined look with all your data on one page. You can also scrub through the sleep timeline, as well as view your historical data more easily.

The new look is in line with the more minimalist, Material You inspired redesign the whole app got last fall. We’ll have to see if that’s a good thing. Folks were mighty displeased with last year’s redesign...

The US Google Store will give you up to $450 when you trade in select iPads, while Samsung tablets can net you up to $325, 9to5Google reports. Starting at $499, the 11-inch Pixel Tablet stands out due to its speaker dock which lets you use it as de facto smart display.

Samsung is adding three new languages to Galaxy AI this spring: Arabic, Indonesian, and Russian. That’s a total of 16 languages supported across AI features like live translation and interpreter.

Samsung’s adding a few new dialects too: Cantonese, Canadian French, and Australian English. That’s really going to clear up some confusion when I tell the S24 Ultra I want to “throw a shrimp on the barbie.”

Business Insider’s Katie Notopoulos wondered if Google trains its AI models on Google Docs we share with “anyone with a link.” Google, which added AI features to workspaces last year, says it only trains on “publicly available” Google Docs.

But the company says that even documents that are accessible to “anyone with a link” remain private unless that link is posted online where Google’s webcrawler can find it.
