Illustration: The Verge Google is adding a Google Home extension to the Gemini app, allowing you to control your smart home while chatting with the AI assistant. The update, which is available to Android users as part of Google Home’s Public Preview program, will let you use natural language prompts, like “Set the dining room for a romantic date night” to adjust lighting, or “Help me clean up the kitchen” to turn on the vacuum. Previously, the Gemini app would open Google Assistant if you tried to control your smart home. With the new Google Home extension, you can perform actions across smart lighting, climate control, window coverings, TVs, speakers, and more from within the Gemini app. The extension in Gemini doesn’t support all smart devices,...

Photo by PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images I regret to inform you that former President Donald Trump has once again filed what is almost inarguably a SLAPP complaint, this time against CBS for editing its own interview of Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump’s lawsuit, first reported by Fox News yesterday, escalates a weeks-long crusade against CBS for its 60 Minutes interview with Harris. Trump argues CBS — which published multiple cuts of the interview — deceptively edited Harris’ answer to make her appear more coherent. This is the kind of editing decision it’s reasonable to argue about, and that people in fact constantly argue about with Trump’s own words. It is less reasonable to: Claim the edit counts as a contribution to the Harris campaign Call to strip CBS of its FCC... Continue reading…

The Wyze Scale Ultra includes a 4.3-inch color screen that shares more health data. | Image: Wyze The addition of a 4.3-inch color TFT screen makes the new Wyze Scale Ultra one of the brand’s most expensive smart scales to date, but at $43.99, it’s still considerably cheaper than offerings from companies like Withings. It’s available from Wyze directly or from Amazon in white or black. The Wyze Scale Ultra says it can track 13 different health metrics, including your heart rate, your metabolic age (a comparison of how your body burns calories at rest to others your age), and measurements of fat, muscle, and water. Previous versions of Wyze’s smart scales featured simple segmented LED displays to display basic information like weight, BMI, and muscle mass, leaving more detailed breakdowns of your health metrics for an accompanying...

This week, Apple unveiled new iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro models. Alongside these devices, the company finally introduced all-new USB-C accessories, including the Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse. However, those planning to buy these upgraded USB-C accessories must know that there are some software limitations. As first noted by MacRumors, the new USB-C accessories require macOS Sequoia 15.1 to work properly. macOS 15.1 supports Apple Intelligence features, such as Writing Tools, all-new Siri, and summarized notifications. This software also improves iPhone Mirroring, which now enables the ability to drag and drop files between devices. However, if you have a Mac that runs older software like macOS Sonoma or macOS Ventura, you might have issues with them. Some users report that these older Macs eventually pair with the accessories. However, the keyboard, Touch ID, and function keys don't work. Users also reported that scrolling with the Magic Mouse is unreliable. According to MacRumors, macOS 15.2 beta testers also experience similar issues. While it's more likely that Apple will fix them in future beta versions, the company doesn't seem to address these problems with older Macs. When Apple releases a beta build before a major announcement, it usually doesn't work with these products. Still, it's possible that the company will address that as soon as next week, as it's been almost two weeks since the first beta of macOS 15.2 was released. That said, if you have models older than the current macOS Sequoia compatible list, don't waste your money, as the USB-C Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse won't work. These are the current Macs that support macOS Sequoia: 2019 iMac and later 2017 iMac Pro 2020 MacBook Air and later 2018 MacBook Pro and later 2019 Mac Pro and later 2018 Mac mini and later 2022 Mac Studio and later BGR will let you know if Apple adds more Macs to the USB-C Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad compatibility list.

The fight for Richard Simmons’ property gets messier as his longtime friend and housekeeper, Teresa Muro Reveles, fights to be reappointed co-trustee of his estate. Teresa accused the late fitness guru’s brother, Leonard “Lenny” Simmons, of manipulating her out of the inheritance in order to gain sole control and profit off Richard’s name. Recent updates reveal that Richard’s personal assistant Michele Matz has also joined in the fight against Lenny, and has uncovered some private emails in the process. Teresa’s latest petition was to have Lenny’s power as trustee suspended to prevent the sale of Richard’s assets. Richard Simmons’ private emails get exposed Richard Simmons of THE RICHARD SIMMONS SHOW/Everett Matz has worked with Richard since 2001, and part of her job was writing emails for him while he dictated to her. She submitted some emails to back Teresa’s argument that Richard was estranged from his former manager, Michael Catalano, allegedly working with Lenny to sell the late star’s property. Teresa explained Richard cut ties with Catalano in 2022, due to fraud and exploitation. Richard reportedly swore to never work on another project with Catalano, after he suggested a documentary about his life. Against Richard’s wishes, Catalano and Lenny kicked off plans for a movie about his life, as Teresa claimed a film crew arrived at his New Orleans home recently. Richard Simmons/Everett What was in Richard Simmons’ emails? In the message from May 2021, Richard complained bitterly about Catalano, noting that he ripped his life apart and must stay away. Another states that his ex manager owed him money from past projects, adding that he secretly sells products without remitting any revenue. Richard Simmons/Everett From the emails, Richard conceded that his career was failing because of Catalano, and he did not seem to fight back. Matz’s correspondence seemed to encourage Richard, assuring him that his pension, social security, and Medicare coverage are protected from Catalano. Lenny has yet to respond to the evidence, while Teresa appears to have an edge over him with the latest developments.
