Delivery message alerts could be coming to Now Brief (APK teardown)
Joe Maring / Android Authority
TL;DR Now Brief may soon alert you about package deliveries.
The feature will remind you how many messages you received about deliveries for that day.
Since debuting on One UI 7, Samsung has continued to flesh out the Now Brief feature. Earlier today, we reported that Samsung is working on adding info cards for parking spot reminders, smart home alerts, and wearable battery warnings. Now we have found that it could gain another pretty useful type of alert.

An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
Whether it's to prevent theft, ensure your package isn't lost in the mail, or you just can't wait to get your hands on your order, you always want to know about the status of your delivery. Instead of having to keep a constant eye out for a notice, you may soon be able to rely on Now Brief to tell you when you receive a message about your package.
Hiding in the Samsung Messages app (version 16.1.10.7) are some strings of code that reference Now Brief and delivery messages. According to these strings, Now Brief will let you know if you have any messages related to a delivery or multiple deliveries that day. It will also tell you how many messages you received about that delivery.

This news follows an earlier report that revealed Samsung is still working on new features for its Messages app, despite telling users the app was being shut down. These features included birthday reminders, location sharing, emoji and sticker reactions, and Now Bar alerts about suspicious, malicious, and blocked messages.

Gmail is making it easier to manage your newsletters and mailing lists on the web
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Gmail is rolling out a new 'Manage subscriptions' page on its web client to help users easily declutter their inboxes. This page lists all your mailing lists, shows their email frequency, and provides a simple one-click unsubscribe button for each sender. The feature is gradually becoming available on the web and has been rolling out on the Android app since late April. Signing up for newsletters and mailing lists is a great way to stay up to date on the latest news or score deals on your next vacation. At first, the influx of emails is manageable, but your inbox can quickly overflow if left unchecked. While trimming down your subscriptions can be a challenge, a good first step is unsubscribing from those you seldom open. To help with this, Gmail is rolling out a new page on its web client dedicated to managing your subscriptions. The other day, I spotted a new 'Manage subscriptions' button in the left-side panel of the Gmail web app, located between 'Spam' and 'Manage labels' under the 'More' section. Clicking it takes you to the new subscriptions page. Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority On this page, Gmail lists the newsletters and mailing lists you're subscribed to and shows how frequently they email you. You can click on a sender to see all the messages you've received from them. If you decide you no longer want their emails, you can simply click the 'Unsubscribe' button. This is the same button that normally appears at the top of individual promotional emails. Keep in mind that when you unsubscribe, it can take a few days for the sender to process the request, so you may still receive some messages. If you want to stop seeing their emails in your inbox immediately, you can block the sender instead, which will automatically filter their messages to your spam folder. Google says the 'manage subscriptions' page is rolling out gradually to Gmail on the web, so you may not have it yet. The feature has been rolling out on Android since late April, so you might already have access on your mobile device. It's nice to see Google add new quality-of-life features to Gmail. Just the other day, we reported that Google was finally adding a 'mark as read' button to Gmail notifications on Android. The more features like this that Gmail adds, the more likely I'd be willing to give its AI features a shot without griping about the app. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Cantor Fitzgerald Raised The PT on Lam Research (LRCX), Maintains a Buy Rating
Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) is one of the . On June 24, Cantor Fitzgerald raised the firm's price target on Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) from $90 to $115, while keeping an Overweight rating on the stock. The increased price target is based on the firm's research which suggests a modestly improved wafer fab equipment market in 2025. The firm noted that Cantor Fitzgerald's industry checks suggest a modest improvement in the WFE sector for calendar year 2025, primarily driven by demand from domestic China. This suggests that 2026 will be another year of growth for the sector, thereby presenting growth opportunities for Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) as well. Cantor Fitzgerald believes the sector is largely immune to tariff-related issues and expects the consensus estimates for the semiconductor equipment group to move significantly higher.

I spent a week living like it was 1993 — here's how it went
Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Last week, I embarked upon an experiment. I wanted to know what it would feel like to live as if it were 1993 again. That year was the tail end of the analog era, just before the internet and Windows 95 and the first dot com bubble. I was a kid then, so I had some memory of how things were. But could I still function in that world today? For one week, I lived without modern technology unless it was absolutely necessary for work and emergencies. I carried a Discman, scribbled in a paper planner, and made phone calls instead of texting. It was chaotic at first, but oddly calming by the time it was all over. Here's how my week went. What tech would be the hardest for you to give up? 0 votes Smartphone NaN % Streaming music and video NaN % Smart home devices NaN % Google Maps NaN % Social media NaN % I could give it all up tomorrow NaN % Monday: Finding 90s tech Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Woke up like normal. Wait, no I didn't. My phone alarm didn't go off, because I no longer had a smartphone. Those hadn't been invented yet. I was late. Got up, rushed around, got my kids fed and dressed and off to school. I completely forgot what I was supposed to do next because I had no reminders or even a calendar. By this point, I was thinking maybe I should have prepped a little before starting this experiment. Thankfully, I actually lived through 1993 once already, albeit as a kid, but at least I knew what to look for. Tracking down a functioning Discman was no easy feat, however. The thrift stores had a bunch, almost all of them broken. I finally found one that worked well enough, along with some CDs: Alice in Chains, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Ace of Bass. For those who never used one, a Discman is a portable CD player about the size of a paperback novel. It skips when you walk, eats AA batteries, and looks like a museum artifact. I normally stream music from YouTube Music, but for this week, I had to rely on physical discs. I also grabbed a Blue Jays pennant celebrating their two back-to-back World Series wins in 1992 and 1993. Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Media in the 90s hit different The Discman was fragile and drained AA batteries almost as quickly as I could swap them out. I had to recharge them overnight. Yes, I used rechargeables, so I guess I cheated a little. The Discman was also incredibly quick to skip, unless I stood perfectly still. There were no podcasts in the 90s, so I replaced those with AM talk radio for about a minute, and then switched to FM. It felt strange not choosing what to listen to on demand, but it was also freeing. It was one less thing I needed to worry about. Admittedly, I used my Xbox to play DVDs I borrowed from the library. Nobody had VHS, and I couldn't even find a VHS player at the second-hand stores, so we had to settle for DVD. But going to the library with my kids and picking out some movies brought back a deep nostalgia for Blockbuster. My kids even had the same excitement I remember having, so this was a total win. So was watching The Simpsons every day, just like when I was a teenager. Tuesday: Relearning communications Nathan Drescher / Android Authority I had to recreate the feel of having a landline phone. We don't have a landline here in the Drescher home, so I flipped my trusty RedMagic 10 Pro over on a table in the hallway and it became our DeFacto home phone. It was weird. Every time I wanted to get in touch with someone, I had to walk to the hallway and pick it up, just like I used to do with the family phone on the kitchen wall in the 90s. I forced myself to make phone calls instead of sending messages, an event which took one of my friends completely by surprise when his phone rang and I was on the other end. It may have been the first time I've ever called him, despite knowing him for years. The Discman started skipping like mad on one of my daily jogs, which turned into a slow-motion walk. For some reason, it started doing this thing where once it began skipping, it never stopped. I found I had to take the CD out and put it back to reset it. I'd take an iPod over this, but I would have had to wait another ten years. Wednesday: Task management by hand Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Without my Fastmail calendar or ToDoist, I was lost. My first two days were a grind, although by Wednesday, I was already getting used to not having messages or social media. It was surprisingly refreshing, to be honest. I had also solved my task management problem by picking up a day planner from the dollar store. I figured I would only use it for a week, so there was no point in splurging. This required a bit of initial self-discipline. There were no push notifications or buzzing smartwatches, so I had to make myself check the planner multiple times per day. Everything was manual. Adding events took the kind of thoughtful precision I had completely forgot about. It was more work, but I found it helped me focus. Writing tasks by hand made them feel real, and I seemed to remember them better, as well. Thursday: Sending a postcard the old way I was cruising through my week by Thursday. I hadn't grown sick of Alice in Chains or Ace of Bass, surprisingly. It would have been nice to have splurged on some more CDs, but I decided not to spend too much money on this. I also sent a postcard to a friend who lives in Alberta, on the other side of the country from me here in Ottawa. I sent it as a joke. A real-life postcard. I even went and bought a stamp for it and everything. Normally, I would have sent him a meme or GIF over RCS or Messenger, but those things didn't exist in 1993. Too bad Canada Post, our national mail carrier, went on strike right then. In the 90s, I wouldn't have expected an instant reply anyway. Friday: My old favorite games suck now Nathan Drescher / Android Authority I've been spoiled for games in the modern era, because when I downloaded a copy of the original Sid Meier's Civilizations and fired it up, I was horrified. The graphics are practically neolithic. The options are as basic as anything. I realized how far we've come in gaming. I game on a modern PC or an XBox Series X nowadays, or strap my Quest 2 on my head and play golf when I'm feeling motivated. I'm used to detailed graphics, ray effects, sprawling storylines, and high framerates. Games in 1993 had none of that! And yet I remember playing Civilization, Wolfenstein, and Lemmings for hours at a time. What I learned from a low-tech week The day ended and with that, my week of living in 1993. I realized how little some things have changed. For example, the microwave, fridge, food, and other appliances were pretty much all the same. But life was definitely slower and quieter in 1993. This experiment reminded me how often I rely on modern tech to fill every idle moment. Dropping it for a week made me more present in the moment, at least temporarily. I listened to entire albums instead of playlists. I remembered plans. I talked to people on the phone and laughed with my kids. This kind of stuff matters. Would I do it again? Sure. Would I recommend it? Maybe, especially if you're feeling overwhelmed with life. Simply unplug for a bit and groove to some Ace of Bass.
