There are plenty of retro gaming handhelds on the market, but Anbernic is introducing one that offers a unique spin on the square shape. The retro gaming handheld maker revealed the RG Rotate on its YouTube channel, showing off a 1:1 display that swivels out much like the T-Mobile Sidekick of yore.
Anbernic often drip feeds details of its upcoming products over time, but so far, we know that the RG Rotate will run on Android, feature an aluminum alloy frame and come in Polar Black and Aurora Silver. Anbernic’s video detailed that the handheld will have a “proprietary ultra-thin alloy hinge” that went through “high-durability testing.” While the handheld maker has experience with other hinges as seen with its RG DS and RG 34XXSP, the RG Rotate’s hinge mechanism could prove to be a new engineering challenge.
As for the rest of the build, Anbernic is adding swappable L2 and R2 buttons that allow users to adjust the height of the shoulder buttons. From the video, the RG Rotate might only be built with a single USB-C port, which has irked a few fans hoping for an audio jack. Anbernic hasn’t announced pricing for the RG Rotate yet, but it’ll likely be much cheaper than more premium options from Ayn or Retroid.

Over the past couple of years, Google has found ways to stuff Gemini in nearly every app and service it offers. Whether it’s Gmail with its AI inbox or Chrome with its chat sidebar, Gemini is now inescapable inside of Workspace. I don’t know about you, but I don’t need an AI to tell me how to write a =SUM equation in Sheets or an outline for a first draft. Most of the time, I find Gemini is a distraction. If you feel the same way, this how-to is for you.
From the “General” tab of Gmail’s settings menu, look for the Smart features checkbox.
To turn Gemini off, you will need to disable two separate sets of options. The first set covers a set of features, including smart compose, that are shared across Gmail, Chat and Meet — so if you turn them off in one app, they won’t be available in any of the three. All of this is most easily done through Gmail’s web client.
In Gmail, tap the cog icon.
Select See all settings.
Under the General tab, scroll down to find Smart features.
Disable Turn on smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet.
In Japan, Switzerland, the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, smart features are turned off by default.
Next, turn your attention to Workspace.
In Gmail, tap the cog icon.
Select See all settings.
Under the General tab, scroll down and click Manage Workspace smart feature settings.
Toggle off smart features in Google Workspace and Smart features in other Google products.
A word of warning: completely disabling smart features in Google Workspace turns off not only Gemini integration but also access to basic capabilities like spelling and grammar corrections. You’ll also lose features that have been Google staples for years. In Gmail, for example, the app will stop sorting incoming emails by priority, a notification at the top of the screen informing you that smart features are required for inbox categorization. Whatever Google’s motivation for this state of affairs, it’s a design decision that actively discourages users from disabling Gemini integration.
Disabling Gemini in Google Workspace will also turn off other features.
If you want to rid yourself of Gemini but would still like to use some of the other features the company offers through Gmail and its other apps, I recommend leaving the first set of smart features on while disabling the Workspace-specific ones. You can also opt to turn off some of the features included in the first group, while leaving others on. Below is a list of those features, with a brief overview of the less self-explanatory ones.
Grammar
Spelling
Autocorrect
Smart Compose — as you write an email, Gmail will generate predictive writing suggestions
Smart Compose personalization — as you write, Gmail will tailor Smart Compose suggestions to your writing style
Nudges — Gmail will generate notifications prompting you to respond or follow up on unanswered emails
Smart Reply — Gmail will generate suggestions on how to respond to an email
Package tracking — Google will display shipping updates inside of Gmail
Desktop notifications — Yes, for some reason you need the power of AI to get notifications on your PC
Unfortunately, Google doesn’t offer this same level of granular control when it comes to smart features inside of Workspace. For instance, if you turn off Gemini in Docs, Calendar won’t automatically display events from Gmail. Again, Google really wants to dissuade you from disabling Gemini.
If your workplace uses Google Workspace, all of the above options should be present in Gmail’s settings menu, and you can follow the same steps to turn off most of the smart features Google offers. Unfortunately, the second part of the process does nothing. You will still see Gemini in Docs, Sheets and elsewhere, even with smart features in Workspace turned off. Only your admin can completely turn off Gemini for you.

Many countries are pursuing social media bans for anyone under 16, but a recent poll is putting the effectiveness of such laws into question. The Molly Rose Foundation, a charity organization that focuses on preventing online harm, recently published a study that polled 1,050 Australian children between ages 12 and 15 in March. The study’s results showed that 61 percent of those between 12 and 15 who previously had access to affected social media platforms still have one or more active accounts.
Australia made a first-in-the-world decision to ban social media for those under 16 years old, beginning on December 10. While it’s only been a few months since the ban went into effect, the foundation’s poll concluded that the ban doesn’t have a “clear positive or negative impact on children’s wellbeing.” The study also noted that 70 percent of children trying to get on restricted platforms said that it was easy to get around the ban.
“These results raise major questions about the effectiveness of Australia’s social media ban and show it would be a high stakes gamble for the UK to follow suit now,” Andy Burrows, the CEO of the Molly Rose Foundation, said in a statement.
The Australian government has also published its own findings in March that examined how social media platforms are complying with the ban. According to the government’s report, Snap, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are currently being investigated for potential non-compliance. The report added that Australia’s eSafety agency is finalizing these investigations and will make a decision about enforcement by the middle of 2026. According to the eSafety report, the agency’s enforcement powers include issuing infringement notices, seeking court-ordered injunctions and “civil penalties up to A$49.5 million,” or around $35 million USD.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s house may have been the target of a second attack after San Francisco Police Department arrested two suspects for a reported shooting in the Russian Hill neighborhood. The SFPD said in a press release that police officers responded to a “suspicious occurrence of possible shots fired” at around 5:56 AM ET / 2:56 AM PT on Sunday, April 12.
SFPD’s Special Investigation Division took over the case and have since detained both 25-year-old Amanda Tom and 23-year-old Muhamad Tarik Hussein, seizing three firearms in the process with the help of a warrant. The two suspects were charged with negligent discharge.
According to the initial police report, as reported by The San Francisco Standard, two people inside a Honda sedan stopped in front of Altman’s property that spans from Chestnut Street to Lombard Street. The police report also noted that the passenger appeared to fire a round at the Lombard Street side of Altman’s property. The property’s security personnel reported hearing a gunshot and there was surveillance footage that recorded the incident, according to the report.
This could be the second instance of violence targeting Altman and his residence in a matter of days. On Friday, a 20-year-old man allegedly hurled a Molotov cocktail at Altman’s home, which caused a fire on one of the property’s exterior gates, according to SFPD. The San Francisco Standard reported that there were no injuries in either incident.

Picture this: You’re a senior Meta employee looking for feedback from the CEO. But, instead of hearing from the real Mark Zuckerberg, you get a response from a Zuckerberg AI character. As absurd as that sounds, it could eventually be a reality.
Meta is reportedly working on such an AI character, training it on Zuckerberg’s mannerisms, tone and publicly available statements, according to the Financial Times. The character is also learning about the CEO’s thoughts on recent company strategy, with the idea that it could offer advice to Meta employees.
The company has reportedly, for some time, been working on creating photorealistic, 3D animated AI characters that can manage interactions. However, it now appears to be focusing on this Zuckerberg AI character, which would interact with employees when the CEO can’t or doesn’t want to.
This additional AI tool follows last month’s news that Zuckerberg is creating an AI agent to help him do his job, first reported by the Wall Street Journal. It would reportedly do things like finding answers for him, but there aren’t many details of the still developing AI agent.
