Google Photos could soon suggest photos you may want to delete (APK teardown)
TL;DR Google Photos may soon offer suggestions to help users clean up storage by deleting unnecessary photos.
These suggestions will appear after users delete multiple photos.
The feature will likely be optional, and the app could receive a corresponding setting to turn it off.
Google Photos already offers a convenient way for users to free up storage space on their devices through the 'Manage storage' option. It lists photos and videos with large file sizes, blurry images, and screenshots that can be easily selected and deleted with a few taps. However, the app could soon offer a smarter solution.

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.
We've found evidence of an upcoming feature in the latest Google Photos release (version 7.35) that could automatically suggest photos users may want to delete. Code related to the feature reveals that the app will offer these suggestions after users manually select and delete several photos.
Code Copy Text We found some photos you might want to delete Clean up your library Try a new deleting experience whenever you select and delete %1$d or more photos We found more photos you might want to delete Review Review suggestions Turn off suggestions Delete suggestions appear whenever you select and delete %1$d or more photos
Once the feature rolls out, Google Photos will highlight the new capability with a banner the first time users select and delete multiple photos. The banner will read: 'Try a new deleting experience whenever you select and delete %1$d or more photos.' Users will then see another pop-up titled 'Clean up your library,' with the message: 'We found some photos you may want to delete.'
The strings indicate that users will be able to review the suggestions before deleting them. Google Photos will also receive a new setting related to this feature, allowing users to turn off the suggestions if they don't find them helpful.
We couldn't surface the UI for this feature in the current Google Photos release, so we believe it may not roll out anytime soon. We'll monitor further development and share more details as soon as they become available.

Android TV gets silently updated with more home screen content tabs — whether you like it or not
Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Android TV devices are receiving new content tabs on the home screen via a server-side update. These new tabs add 'Top Selling Movies,' 'Popular Movies and Shows,' and 'Trending on Google' to the home screen. There's no way to opt out of the update, so users who dislike the added clutter can consider switching to alternative Android TV launchers. Android TV, as a platform, is still very much around, but it has been overshadowed by Google TV, a content engine that sits on top of the platform. Users have frequently complained about updates from Android TV to Google TV turning their TV and streaming sticks into a lag fest, and you can blame their probably low-specced hardware and the intrusive ad-ridden platform for it. Android TV has managed to stay relatively clean from these changes, but it seems the content engine is coming for it too. Reddit user aniruddhdodiya spotted that their Android TV was recently updated to feature three extra tabs in the home screen. Their TV already came with a Play Next tab, but now they also had tabs for Top Selling Movies, Popular Movies and Shows, and Trending on Google. I have received the new tabs on my Sony Bravia X80H, which runs on Android TV 10 with the December 2024 security patch. The content tabs are similar in category to those on Google TV. Unsurprisingly, the content tabs surface recommendations even from apps I don't have installed, so I need to subscribe to new services to view them. What makes this change even worse is that some of these categories already exist on the home screen — on my Sony TV, I already have a dedicated Top-selling Movies row on the home screen, so now I end up with two rows of the same content ads. Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority This change is very likely rolling out to Android TV devices through a server-side update of either the Android TV Home app or the Android TV Core Services app, so there's no way for you to avoid it unless you change the launcher. Many people who have stuck with Android TV will hate that their home screen now has more clutter and more monetization surfaces for Google to push 'recommendations' through. Some people may like the change, though, as it would let them discover new content right on the home screen, though one can argue there were already plenty of ways to do so. If you have received the new tabs and hate them, you can consider switching to alternative Android TV launchers like Projectivy Launcher that let you ditch the recommendations for a cleaner TV experience. You'll probably even get a faster and sleeker experience than the stock launcher, so try it out. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Moreover, adjusted EPS is anticipated to grow 11.2% year-over-year to $23.87 in fiscal 2026. Shares of Teledyne Technologies have gained 31.7% over the past 52 weeks, outpacing the broader S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 12.6% return and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLK) 9.7% rise over the same period. Teledyne Technologies reported Q1 2025 results on Apr. 23. The company reported net sales of $1.5 billion, a 7.4% increase year-over-year and adjusted EPS came in at $4.95, surpassing analysts' estimates. Additionally, Teledyne's digital imaging segment, a key contributor to defense-related demand, grew 2.2% to $757 million, reflecting ongoing geopolitical tensions and strong demand for military sensors and cameras.

Out of 10 analysts covering the stock, eight recommend a "Strong Buy," one "Moderate Buy," and one "Hold." As of writing, TDY is trading below the average analyst price target of $562.20.

This is the Stock I'm Retiring On – It's Already Up 70%
According to estimates from S&P Global, just the five AI hyperscalers; Meta Platforms, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple are projected to spend more than $1 trillion in capital investment on AI in the three years through 2027. Let that number sink in for a second…more than a trillion spent to develop artificial intelligence from just five companies. The AI revolution is NOT slowing down and stocks in the theme have the power to change your life! But while most investors chase new all-time highs in shares of Nvidia (NVDA), which would have to grow to more than the entire US economy to produce another 10X return, the smart money will be made in the next generation of AI benefactors. The companies in networking, software and final use cases – these are the stocks to buy now that will produce the next Nvidia-like returns. These are the stocks that will retire your job and I've found four I'm loading up on. First up, while everyone's been obsessed with Nvidia's chips, they've missed a critical truth: those chips are worthless without somewhere to live. That 'somewhere' is custom-built servers—and Super Micro Computer (SMCI) is the top supplier of those AI-optimized machines. Think of SMCI as the contractor building the actual brains of the AI revolution. They don't just sell off-the-shelf servers; they design tailor-made systems for speed, performance, and energy efficiency. And when companies are spending billions on data centers, every watt and millisecond matters. What gives SMCI its edge is time-to-market. It can go from idea to implementation faster than legacy giants like Dell or HPE. In a sector projected to attract over a trillion dollars in investment over the next two years, being first—and better—counts. The stock has already made some investors rich, but there's still plenty of upside in this picks-and-shovels powerhouse. Next up, ever wonder why Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) didn't just sell his AI assistant JARVIS out as a product and make trillions of dollars? SoundHound AI (SOUN) is doing just that, making voice AI actually useful in the real world. Its tech doesn't just turn voice into text and then figure out what you meant—it goes straight from speech to meaning, eliminating steps and reducing error. It's what Siri and Alexa should have been. SoundHound has spent over a decade perfecting this platform and is now embedding it into everyday experiences—from cars to drive-thrus and payment systems. Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Mastercard, and even White Castle are already rolling it out. These aren't pilot programs; this is real-world adoption, happening now. The market for voice AI is projected to $160 billion, potentially multiplying the company's $85 million revenue last year and turning this $3.9 billion company into a powerhouse. The biggest risk? That one of the tech giants—Amazon, Apple, or Google—decides it's easier to buy the company than compete before SoundHound AI has a chance to become the next Nvidia. I love talking stocks and that face-to-face community we're building on the YouTube channel. You can visit the Bow Tie Nation and check out all the 2025 stock picks on Let's Talk Money! Quantum Computing (QUBT) isn't in that AI theme…it's what could replace the theme and that's why I'm buying a few shares every month. When the market has forgotten about AI, when it becomes a part of our everyday life and investors look for the next big thing – it's going to be quantum computing and I want to be ready. Quantum computing isn't just faster—it's a complete reimagining of how information is processed. Traditional computers use binary logic—ones and zeros—while quantum computers leverage 'qubits,' which can exist in multiple states at once. The result? Problems that take supercomputers thousands of years could be solved in seconds. Quantum Computing Inc. is positioning itself as a software-first player in this revolution. While giants like Google and IBM are building massive, hardware-heavy quantum machines that require extreme cooling, QUBT is developing platform-agnostic software that works on today's systems but can seamlessly transition to quantum hardware when it's ready. Their Qatalyst platform abstracts away the complexity of quantum mechanics, which could be a game-changer for adoption. Symbotic Inc (SYM) is tackling one of the oldest and most broken systems in the economy, warehouse logistics and bringing it into the 21st century. Their solution combines AI, robotics, and software into a complete automation platform—something that transforms legacy warehouses into futuristic, self-operating fulfillment centers. The real genius here isn't just in the technology—it's in the business model. Symbotic doesn't sell a one-time system and walk away. Its tech is embedded deep into the DNA of a company's operations, making it nearly impossible to switch out without massive disruption for recurring revenue that keeps growing. They've already inked a 10-year deal with Walmart and expanded to Target and Albertsons. Now, through a $7.5 billion joint venture with SoftBank, they're offering automation-as-a-service to the entire industry. It's not just about U.S. dominance—the global logistics market is a $3.9 trillion opportunity, and Symbotic is just getting started. Shares are already up 70% this year but with runway to build the kind of portfolio that retires your job.
