Gmail users, watch out! These 2 features are being killed next year

The end of Gmailify benefits Gmailify was introduced in 2016 and made it possible to upgrade external email accounts—from Yahoo! or Outlook, for example—with certain Gmail extras, including a reliable spam filter, automatic sorting of the inbox into categories, better push notifications on smartphones, and an extended search function with special operators.

These benefits will no longer be available come January 2026. Anyone using third-party email accounts in Gmail will therefore have to do without these additional benefits starting next year.

The end of POP support in Gmail The retrieval of emails via the POP protocol will also be discontinued. Previously, Gmail users were able to integrate messages from other email accounts directly into Gmail. This option to "retrieve messages from other acc

Best external drives 2025: Top picks in portable storage

In a cloud-based, networked world, local storage still offers distinct performance advantages. Transferring 4TB of data across the usual home network is generally far slower than offloading it to a 20Gbps/40Gbps SSD, then walking it to its destination. Similarly, restoring a backup from local storage is far, far faster than pulling down your data from the web. We're talking gigbytes per second instead of megabytes.

Whatever your needs or intent, these are the best external drives we've tested, both in terms of performance and budget.

Why you should trust PCWorld for external drive reviews and buying advice: It's in our name! PCWorld's reviewers have been testing PC hardware for decades. Our storage evaluations are thorough and rigorous, pushing the limits of every product — from performance benchmarks to the practicalities of daily use. As PC users ourselves, we know what makes a product stand out. Only the best external drives make this list.

Perplexity's $200-a-month ‘AI' Comet browser is now free

The Comet browser was always intended to be a free competitor to Chrome and other browsers, though it started out locked behind that massive "AI" paywall. (In fact, Perplexity is so committed to the browser bit that it briefly entertained buying Chrome from Google, before the U.S. government decided that antitrust laws are more like guidelines.)

As of today it's free for anyone to use, along with its LLM-powered Sidecar feature, according to TechCrunch. Though the download site still indicates you either need a subscription or an invitation to use it, I was able to download and install it without logging in.

But in order to get the full powers of the browser, you'll still need that $200-a-month subscription. Without it you're rate-limited for its various tools, including text generation, shopping, and even logging in and "browsing" using your identity. Just be careful — like many LLM tools it has some rather glaring security issues.

How IBM is using Adobe Firefly to reshape design
With the rollout of Adobe Firefly last year, IBM made generative AI (genAI) image creation available to thousands of designers.

It didn't take long for the tool to make an impression, said Billy Seabrook, global chief design officer for IBM's consulting arm.

Firefly was used, for example, to create 200 visual assets for IBM's "Let's Create" marketing campaign last year that involved rendering an image of a question mark in a variety of textures and colors. Firefly generated many variations — from a question mark made of flower petal to one made of chain link — that designers could choose to then edit and refine into a final product.
