🦃🦃🦃First up, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! 🦃🦃🦃

So. Bixby. Do you know Bixby? It’s like Alexa or Google Assistant, only Samsung flavored. Samsung really wants Bixby to be a thing, and the company has tried everything. If you owned a Galaxy S8, you probably remember the obnoxious Bixby button. But Samsung still hasn’t given up and still wants you to use Bixby, not Alexa or Google Assistant.

And it needs to stop. Like just … stop. Samsung has better things to do with its time. And so we’re here to make the case. Samsung should kill Bixby. We’ll get into all the whys and the woes—in the top story.

Other Highlights:

  • Do you have an Infinity Game Table? If so, have we got good news for you–the release date and price for Clue.
  • It’s gift-giving time, and we gathered together the best presents you can give to the readers in your life.
  • Microsoft’s Edge browser has a “super duper secure” mode now. No, really, that’s what Microsoft called it.
  • The Pixel 6 is here, and you know what that means—the Pixel 6a is coming! Here’s everything we already know.
  • … and wow, a lot more! Gobble gobble!
