Google updates Android Auto's minimum requirements
Google has updated the minimum requirement for Android Auto wired connections to Android 11. The change has appeared on the Android Auto support page and means devices running Android 10 or lower will no longer be able to connect to their car's infotainment system via USB.
Any drivers who want to continue using Android Auto will either need to update their device or, if that's not possible, replace their phone with a newer model. Bad luck if you're still rocking that ageing Samsung Galaxy Note 9 or Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact.
Gentle Monster teases Samsung AI glasses
Gentle Monster teased its forthcoming Samsung AI glasses with a strange ad featuring actor Joaquin Phoenix in a scene that feels cut from the game Control.

Grand Theft Auto VI has already reached nearly 8 million pre-orders
There's still a fortnight to go before GTA 6 is officially released but pre-orders for the game have already reached nearly eight million copies, according to Sensor Tower's GTA 6 sales tracker.
The PlayStation 5 edition makes up 74% of pre-orders and the revenue Rockstar has already made — before the game is even out — is believed to be around $751 million. One analyst firm, Circana, has estimated that 29% of all gamers in the United States intend to buy the game.
