Waze is sending drivers World Cup scores behind the wheel – here’s how to turn it off

The World Cup is in full swing and, with it, many are glued to finding out the scores of each match. Waze, though, has rolled out a new enabled-by-default feature that shows World Cup scores as a pop-up for drivers. Great if you’re an avid fan, less so if you’re just trying to get directions home, and user reactions are pretty mixed.

Android Auto has suddenly lost its Facebook Messenger app

While most Android Auto users just want to use the platform for navigation and music, apps can provide extra value. Messaging apps, for instance, can be a useful way to access messages safely behind the wheel, which is why some Android Auto users are frustrated that the Facebook Messenger app has suddenly vanished.

Lenovo’s Snapdragon X2 Windows laptops are worth your attention amid RAMageddon

I’ve been worried about the next generation of Windows laptops, to the point where I begrudingly bought a MacBook Air earlier this year because I figured my next Windows upgrade would be a costly one. After spending some time with Lenovo’s latest batch of Snapdragon X2-powered Windows laptops, though, I wish I’d waited – despite RAMageddon, Lenovo is putting out some solid machines here at prices that make sense.

Android 17 gives foldables the virtual gamepad they’ve always deserved

Foldables combine the extra-large displays of a tablet with something a little more pocket-friendly, especially on modern ultra-thin devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 7. But for all the potential that arrives with that big screen, it can sometimes be difficult to find software that perfectly scales for those square displays. Thankfully, with Android 17, gaming on foldables is getting a huge boost with a new set of virtual controls.
