Google may finally allow you to modify the name associated with your Gmail address.

      After years of pushback, Google is now trialing a long-awaited feature that may allow users to change their Gmail usernames without losing their accounts.

      Google is in the process of testing a feature that enables users to alter their Gmail username. According to recently updated support documentation, the company has begun to roll out an experimental option that permits modifications to the part of the email address that appears before “@gmail.com.”

      The feature's rollout has been discreet (with no official announcement from Google), starting in India as the first test market. Initial observations indicate that this feature is connected to Google account settings rather than Gmail specifically.

      Finally, a solution for those embarrassing Gmail addresses

      While this experimental feature allows certain users to adjust their email username, it doesn't permit them to change their Gmail address to a different domain or reuse a username that is already in use.

      Since Gmail addresses are integral to users' digital identities, the ability to change these could provide the necessary flexibility, freeing users from the necessity of starting a new Gmail account entirely.

      If your Gmail address still reflects an outdated nickname, includes random numbers (because your desired choices were taken), or features alphanumeric combinations you wouldn't want to list on your resume, you will have the opportunity to change your Gmail address once the feature becomes available to a wider audience.

      Instead of managing various accounts and forwarding emails between them, the new feature allows you to tidy up your address while preserving your emails, Google Drive files, and subscriptions.

      It's important to note that Google has not confirmed when, or if, this feature will be available worldwide. There is also uncertainty regarding whether there will be a limit on the number of username changes allowed or how third-party logins will be managed following a username change.

      ChatGPT may soon introduce a powerful tool that fundamentally changes how AI operates for users.

      Imagine being able to instruct ChatGPT to perform a multi-step task with just a single word. One of the primary challenges with AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini is that users often lack insight into their inner workings. You may have a general idea of what the outcome will look like based on the instructions given, but no clear understanding of how the AI achieves that result. As tasks progress from simple to more complex multi-step instructions, the challenge intensifies. This is where Skills come into play.

      The world's first 6K monitor with glasses-free 3D viewing has been unveiled.

      Samsung has introduced the "industry's first 6K glasses-free 3D monitor" ahead of CES 2026. The 32-inch monitor features an IPS panel, supports a peak refresh rate of 165Hz, and includes HDMI 2.1 and DP 2.1 ports, but its standout feature is the capability for glasses-free 3D rendering.

      Unlike conventional 3D displays that require cumbersome eyewear (and a lot of patience), Samsung's 6K 3D Odyssey G9 (G90XH) employs an advanced lenticular lens system along with eye-tracking cameras that determine the direction of a viewer's gaze, adjusting the perspective for each eye to create a sense of depth, resulting in a 3D appearance.
