If someone's hacking into your account, getting an email about it might not do much good; by the time you read it, the damage may already be done. To combat the issue, Google is launching in-app security alerts for critical issues with Google accounts. When Google detects a security issue with your account – such as someone logging in from an unknown device – it will display an alert in […]

Looking for a way to interact with your phone without actually looking at it? Samsonite might have a solution — at least for certain scenarios. The company's new Konnect-i backpack uses Google's Jacquard tech to connect to your smartphone.

In the age of near-constant video calls (so many!), being on the move and forgetting your headphones can be a pretty big nuisance. Lenovo has a pretty elegant solution (via TechRadar), which we haven't seen on a laptop before. The company's new ThinkBook 15 Gen 2 i has integrated Bluetooth wireless earbuds.
