Anbernic RG G01 gamepad has a built-in screen and heart rate sensor

If you thought gaming controllers had seen every possible feature, retro handheld specialist Anbernic is here to surprise you. The company has unveiled the Anbernic RG G01 , a new gamepad that includes both a built-in screen and a heart rate sensor, blending customization tools with a dash of biological tracking. The most eye-catching feature is the 2.5-inch HD display embedded in the controller. Anbernic calls it a “smart screen” and says it is designed to make personalizing your controller “intuitive and effortless.” Instead of needing separate software on your PC or phone, you can use this screen to remap buttons, program macros, and adjust settings directly on the pad itself.

Apple AirTag 2 arrives with longer range, louder speaker

After nearly five years, Apple has finally unveiled a new version of its popular item tracker. The second-generation AirTag brings key improvements in tracking range and audio, aiming to make finding lost items even easier.

Google’s AI health answers favor YouTube videos over medical websites — report

When people turn to Google with health concerns, many now encounter an artificial intelligence summary at the top of their results. New research indicates these automated answers frequently draw information from an unexpected primary source: YouTube , rather than established medical institutions. The investigation, carried out by search analytics firm SE Ranking , scrutinized more than 50,000 health-related queries performed on Google in Berlin during December 2025. It discovered that the company’s AI Overviews tool referenced YouTube clips more often than any hospital, government health agency, or accredited medical portal. Specifically, YouTube was cited in 4.43% of all source attributions, securing its position as the most-used reference. This reliance on the popular video platform is notable because Google states its AI is engineered to highlight trustworthy information from authoritative outlets. YouTube, where content creators range from certified doctors to unqualified influ...
