A Google support page in Hindi says the ability to change your Gmail address is on the way. The feature would allow you to replace your current @gmail.com address with another. Your old address would remain active as an alias on the account, and all your data would stick around, unaffected.
The support page (translated) says that "the ability to change your Google Account email address is gradually rolling out to all users." The change was first spotted on a Google Pixel forum on Telegram and was first reported in the press by 9to5Google.
Google hasn't made a formal announcement about the change. The English version of the support page still says you usually can't change your @gmail.com address. Up to this point, Google has only allowed address changes for non-gmail.com addresses.
Engadget reached out to Google for confirmation. We'll update this story if we hear back.
When the feature (presumably) rolls out broadly, you'll change it through your account settings. Sign in to your Google account, then go to Manage your Google account Personal info Google Account email. If you don't see the option to change it, then you'll have to wait.

One of the best things about Starlink is how normal it feels. Once you get it set up, it behaves just like regular internet: it's fast, effective, and perfectly suitable for gaming and other latency-sensitive tasks.
No, Starlink isn't right for everyone. But it is good for what it is! In fact, here are some of the ways I find it even better than conventional home broadband internet (including ADSL, cable, and fiber).
Starlink is available just about everywhere

Hey. You. Yes, you — the one there with the moist eyeballs, staring at this suspiciously smudgy screen.
I want to let you in on a little secret. It's technically a two-part secret, as the first part is something incredibly useful that hardly anyone realizes is possible — and the second part is a completely new twist on that same concept that virtually no one knows about yet.
The concepts in question are both connected to Chrome and the timeless act of traipsing around this tumbleweed-laden web of ours. They give you an enchantingly easy way to peek in at a page without interrupting what you're doing or committing to fully opening it. And they're available now in two different but equally delightful environments.

To reduce the risk of service problems, Cisco is making it harder for organizations to use weak cryptographic algorithms when setting up authentication for OSPF packets on certain Catalyst Edge Platforms and Integrated Services Routers (ISR).
Newer versions of Cisco's IOS XE software (Release 17.11.1 and later) no longer support those algorithms—DES, 3DES, and MD5—by default, Cisco stated in a field Notice.
Specifically, the algorithms are no longer default options for the open shortest path first v 3 (OSPFv3) protocol, which uses the IPsec secure socket API to add authentication to OSPFv3 packets that distribute routing information.
