You can now look at Bluesky’s trending topics on your homescreen.

Thanks to a widget launched with a new update announced today. I do like the mock trending topics in this image, though the “Bluesky users turn 39” entry hits a little close to home. Let me go stretch while I think about it.

Snap is the only platform left in the next kids online safety trial.

Meta settled the latest set of claims about how its design affected a teen’s mental health, the parties confirm. YouTube and TikTok previously settled, leaving Snap the last defendant standing. Meta spokesperson Liza Crenshaw says settlements like this are common in this process. There’s plenty more left to be tried.

Gemini Live might get an “offline mode” on Android.

Android Authority spotted code in a beta version of the Android Google app (v17.71.17) referencing the new mode, with the tagline, “Use Gemini Live without an internet connection.” They say the code doesn’t hint at how the local-only Gemini Live mode would work, though, or whether it would support camera and screen-sharing features.

Sony’s new glasses-free display puts 3D avatars on your desk.

The company already makes spatial reality displays for professional applications like medical imaging, but its new ELF-MN1 will target consumers when it launches in Japan on December 11th for around $343. Powered by a connected smartphone or PC, the 6-inch, 3,840 x 2,160-pixel display uses eye-tracking to create a convincing stereoscopic image that can be viewed at up to a 25-degree angle off the center of the screen.
