Android allows users to recover their recently deleted photos for a specific period of time. Depending on the brand and the UI, Android handsets usually retain deleted images for 30 days. This allows users to restore the photos they deleted from their Android phone by mistake. When a user deletes an image, it is first moved to their phone's Recently Deleted folder. Similarly, users can also recover images that they recently deleted in Google's Photos app. Users can also choose to permanently delete photos from the Recently Deleted folder. from Gadgets 360 https://ift.tt/p3PaFXn

Answering emails can take up a lot of your workday, especially when dealing with routine questions, follow-ups and requests that do not require a long response. Fortunately, AI can come to your rescue. Claude, Anthropic’s AI assistant, can connect directly to Gmail. The chatbot can analyse email threads, understand their context, and draft replies without requiring you to copy and paste messages into an AI chatbot. It can even send emails on your behalf, but it asks for your approval first by default. This is all made possible by Google Workspace connectors. from Gadgets 360 https://ift.tt/HsNU1nA

For those who print frequently at home, in small businesses, or busy offices, laser printers continued to be the preferred choice. This is due to several advantages over basic inkjet printers. Laser printers not only offer faster print speeds, but the running costs over the years are significantly lower, while also providing superior output quality. If you’ve been considering your first printer purchase or want to upgrade from your existing ink guzzler, then there’s a great opportunity in the next few weeks with Independence Day-themed events like the Amazon Freedom Sale around the corner. from Gadgets 360 https://ift.tt/r3uy9ZF

The showcase, which carries the tagline ‘Surprise and shine’, is all set to kick off in the second week of September.

Monad researchers Kushal Babel and Jan Camenisch have proposed a new account design that separates a blockchain address from the credentials used to authorise transactions. The approach could allow users to rotate lost or outdated keys, use passkeys and enable social recovery without moving their assets to a new address.

Samsung has fixed almost everything with last year's Fold 7. The display crease on the main display is nearly gone, the screen handles sunlight better now, the battery is bigger on paper, and the performance is legitimately flagship-tier. The camera's better too, mostly thanks to a much-improved ultrawide lens. What didn't get fixed is the telephoto camera, and the design, which still looks like last year's phone. Add in another price hike, and "Ultra" starts to feel more like a marketing gimmick. from Gadgets 360 https://ift.tt/qYXVzpF

X is reportedly exploring the use of stablecoins such as Circle’s USDC to pay royalties to influencers and content creators, according to CoinDesk.

Samsung on Wednesday announced a new Galaxy event for August. It will be the South Korean tech conglomerate’s third hardware launch event of the year, following the February and July showcases, where we saw the debut of the Galaxy S26 series and the new-generation Galaxy Z foldables, respectively. The company, however, remains cryptic about what could be introduced, with Samsung teasing the impending arrival of the ‘newest addition to the Galaxy S26 family’. This is likely a reference to the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, which has been the subject of several leaks in recent months. from Gadgets 360 https://ift.tt/RTf8a2q

The Boat Aavante Prime X delivers an enjoyable home theatre experience, particularly when watching action-heavy films or playing games. Its powerful bass and rear speakers create a convincing sense of immersion, while dialogue remains clear even when plenty is happening on screen. Music playback is respectable too, although the overall tuning favours movies and games. Some non-Dolby content can produce an occasional echo, and the large setup needs plenty of room. The Boat Aavante Prime X isn't perfect, but it gets the important stuff right, and that counts for quite a bit. from Gadgets 360 https://ift.tt/HBXl0FT
