Google Wallet is losing access to PayPal
The company has also stopped letting users link PayPal accounts to Wallet as of April 11th. Now, users who previously relied on PayPal to quickly connect their payment methods with Google Wallet will have to manually add a credit card, debit card, or bank information if they want to keep using the app.
Google notes that it will still accept PayPal-branded debit cards. 'To deliver smart, flexible, and more rewarding ways to pay, PayPal constantly improves their offerings,' Google writes in a FAQ, while referring users to an email sent by PayPal.
The Verge reached out to PayPal with a request for more information but didn't immediately hear back.
If you use a linked PayPal account for recurring payments, Google says you'll need to change your payment method on the merchant's website to keep using the service. Google Wallet will also no longer display your PayPal transaction history, which you'll now have to view on PayPal's website or app. Google Wallet's PayPal integration will still work for users in Germany.

Nuki, my favorite smart lock, is now available in the US; I can't recommend it enough
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Europe's best smart lock, the Nuki Smart Lock, has launched in the US. The Matter-compatible lock costs $159 alone, or $299 with the fingerprint-supporting keypad (currently $229 on Amazon). You'll have to pay for a premium subscription to enable remote access and notifications. If you ask me about my favorite product I've ever reviewed in my 19 years as a tech writer, the answer would be pretty straightforward: the Nuki smart lock. The first lock I tried blew me away in 2016 with its extensive features and excellent reliability, so much so that I became a smart lock convert. Recently, I switched to the Nuki Smart Lock Ultra (£309.99 at Manufacturer site), which is by far the best European smart lock you can buy. But what if you live in the US? Well, Nuki is now launching in the US, and you can get your hands on one of the most thoughtful and complete smart home products ever made (this is not an exaggeration) for $159 on Amazon, or $299 with the Keypad 2 with fingerprint support (currently down to $229 on Amazon). If you're curious about why a smart lock makes sense or what makes Nuki special, you can read my complete rundown of the Nuki Smart Lock Ultra. The short version, though, is that this is an end-to-end encrypted lock that you can use without ever creating an account or logging in (unless you want remote access). It's sleek, small, less noisy than previous versions, and offers a million and one options to let you customize it precisely to your liking, and most importantly, your comfort levels. I love that every feature from the swipe actions in the app or tap actions on the button, to the speed of the brushless motor, night mode, guest access, disabling Bluetooth pairing, auto-unlock, auto-lock, what's logged and what's not, and more, is user-controlled. For a device that supervises the entrance to my home, that's a win on all fronts. Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Nuki is also Matter-compatible and supports Google, Apple, and Amazon's smart home platforms, as well as Home Assistant (I've set it up locally via MQTT) and Samsung SmartThings. Plus, it has apps for Wear OS smartwatches and the Apple Watch. Honestly, anything you think you want from a smart lock is there; it's almost crazy to see a product that is this complete. I rated it 9/10 in my review, but I could've easily given it a perfect 10; that's how much I love it. A smart home device that supervises the entrance to my home should give me control over all the settings. Nuki does that and takes privacy very seriously. The US version of the Nuki Smart Lock retains all of those features, but is retrofitted on top of US single-cylinder deadbolts and can be installed in under 15 minutes. It's installed from the inside, so you keep access to your home from the outside with a key. You can also buy the Keypad 2, which offers an end-to-end encrypted way to unlock with access codes or with a fingerprint sensor. Rita El Khoury / Android Authority There is one hiccup compared to the European version, though, and that is the introduction of Nuki Premium — a $5.90 monthly sub that sends you smart alerts when something happens to your door and gives you remote access via the Nuki app to see what's going on. It's not essential if you use Matter or any other smart home platform, but it's still a bit annoying to see Nuki take free features in the EU market and make them paid in the US. If you do sign up before September, though, you'll have free lifetime access to Premium, which is an excellent deal. The Nuki Smart Lock is available now from Amazon and, if you can't already tell, I can't recommend it enough. You can also grab some extra accessories for it like a $59 door sensor or a cheaper $89 code-only keypad if you don't need fingerprint access.

Del Monte, the 139-year-old canned fruits and vegetables company, seeks bankruptcy protection
Del Monte Foods, the 139-year-old company best known for its canned fruits and vegetables, is filing for bankruptcy protection as U.S. consumers increasingly bypass its products for healthier or cheaper options. Del Monte has secured $912.5 million in debtor-in-possession financing that will allow it to operate normally as the sale progresses. 'After a thorough evaluation of all available options, we determined a court-supervised sale process is the most effective way to accelerate our turnaround and create a stronger and enduring Del Monte Foods,' CEO Greg Longstreet said in a statement. Del Monte Foods, based in Walnut Creek, California, also owns the Contadina tomato brand, College Inn and Kitchen Basics broth brands and the Joyba bubble tea brand. The company has seen sales growth of Joyba and broth in fiscal 2024, but not enough to offset weaker sales of Del Monte's signature canned products. 'Consumer preferences have shifted away from preservative-laden canned food in favor of healthier alternatives,' said Sarah Foss, global head of legal and restructuring at Debtwire, a financial consultancy. Grocery inflation also caused consumers to seek out cheaper store brands. And President Donald Trump's 50% tariff on imported steel, which went into effect in June, will also push up the prices Del Monte and others must pay for cans. Del Monte Foods, which is owned by Singapore's Del Monte Pacific, was also hit with a lawsuit last year by a group of lenders that objected to the company's debt restructuring plan. The case was settled in May with a loan that increased Del Monte's interest expenses by $4 million annually, according to a company statement. Del Monte said late Thursday that the bankruptcy filing is part of a planned sale of company's assets.

The Global 2000: Top 200
The Top 200 F or the past 23 years, Forbes' Global 2000 ranks the largest public companies in the world using four metrics—sales, profits, assets and market value—and despite the geopolitical uncertainty and combativeness resulting from Donald Trump's tariffs, all four reached records this year. The 2,000 companies on the 2025 list account for $52.9 trillion in annual revenue, $4.9 trillion in profit, $242.2 trillion in assets and $91.3 trillion in market cap. Those figures for profit, market value and assets have all at least tripled in the last 20 years, with total sales up 140% in that span, demonstrating how much globalization has helped the world grow, including the United States. America's largest bank, JPMorgan, is ranked No. 1 for the third year in a row, leading 612 U.S.-based companies on the list. A lake in the shape of the world's continents in the middle of untouched nature. getty Tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft as well as international behemoths Saudi Aramco and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China remain entrenched members of the top 10, while Nvidia continues its fast rise up the rankings to 47th this year. We used the latest 12 months of financial data available to us as of April 25, 2025 to calculate the factors used in our ranking. Directly below find the Top 200. (Repeat ranks indicate a tie).
