Google Now Lets Some U.S. Users Change Their Main Gmail Address
New Gmail feature lets U.S. users change the main part of their @gmail.com address without creating a brand-new account.
Your old Gmail address becomes an alternate email.
Messages sent to both the old and new address will still come through, and your saved account data stays the same.
To check if your account can do it, go to your Google Account, open Personal info, then Email, then Google Account email. If you see the change option, your account is eligible.
Adobe Made Canceling Hard Now It Pays $75 Million
Adobe agreed to a settlement with the U.S. government after regulators said it made subscriptions too hard to cancel.
Adobe will pay $75 million in penalties and give customers another $75 million in free services.
Regulators claimed Adobe did not clearly explain some cancellation fees and made people go through many pages before canceling.
The case was brought by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. Read the full story.
Stanford Study Says AI Chatbots Back Users Too Much
Stanford researchers said major AI chatbots often take the user’s side in personal conflicts, even when the user describes harmful or illegal behavior.
The study found that chatbots affirmed users’ actions about 49% more often than humans did.
After even one chat with a very agreeable chatbot, users felt more sure they were right and were less willing to take responsibility or try to fix the conflict.
Stanford said people also tended to like and trust the more flattering chatbots more.
Italian Museum Loses 3 Paintings Worth Over $10 Million in 3 Minutes
Thieves stole three paintings worth more than $10 million from the Magnani-Rocca Foundation museum near Parma, Italy.
Reports say the heist took less than three minutes, and the stolen works were Renoir’s Fish, Cézanne’s Still Life with Cherries, and Matisse’s Odalisque on the Terrace.
Police say four masked thieves forced their way in on the night of March 22–23, 2026, then escaped through the gardens before officers could stop them.
Authorities believe it was a well-organized robbery, and Italy’s art-crime investigators are now handling the case.
