    Google Photos could soon streamline changing wallpapers.

    Setting your phone’s wallpaper to the image you’re viewing in Google Photos is more complicated than it needs to be.

    That could soon change, according to Android Authority, which discovered an update potentially coming to a future version of the app that adds a “Set as wallpaper” option to the toolbar that appears after tapping the three-dot menu button in the corner of an open photo.

    Pinball’s coming to the Playdate.

    Developer Amano has shared an update on how it’s creating the realistic physics for its upcoming Playdate pinball game, Devils on the Moon. It’s not launching until sometime in 2025, but the game will use the Playdate’s left D-pad and A buttons to trigger the flippers. As for the crank? The developers haven’t revealed how it will specifically be used.

    KFC’s digital pet has you taking care of fried chicken.

    Following McDonald’s in China releasing a Tetris-playing nugget last year, KFC in Spain has created a Tamagotchi-like digital pet called the Eduardochi. It was originally sold through KFC’s website and app, but starting on December 3rd it will be available through KFC’s restaurants across Spain for €3.99 (around $4.20) with many of them hopefully ending up on eBay.
