Xbox app for PC gets Compact mode for handheld gaming PCs

Microsoft has released an updated version of the Xbox app for PC, which comes with several changes and quality of life improvements. One of the new additions is Compact mode, which has been designed with the new wave of handheld gaming PCs in mind.

Google Messages reaches 1 billion RCS users, unleashes 7 new features to celebrate

RCS is officially big. 1 billion monthly active users big, in fact. Google announced the milestone today, and to celebrate it's giving the Messages app 7 new features. These will apparently "help your personality shine through". They won't make RCS bubbles blue on iOS, however. RCS, in case you've been living under a rock, is a new standard that's supposed to replace the antiquated SMS and MMS, Google says, although those are still used as backup, so not that much "replace" as "enhance". Anyway, the point is it's like iMessage but for Android phones. Google has been pushing it a lot...

A report from The Elec claims that Samsung might introduce a new kind of blue phosphorescent OLED panel in 2025, although industry watchers were expecting a 2024 debut initially.
