Uber’s getting into ice cream again with a special promotion on Friday that’ll see it delivering supplies of the sweet treat to its riders around the world. The deal goes live in all 250+ cities where Uber operates, though the generosity of the offer varies from country to country and city to city. In the U.S., for example, Capital One cardholders, and new sign-ups in some locations, can enjoy a free order worth up to $25. For more information on how the deal works in your location, check out Uber’s special webpage here.

Here’s what to do:

3. If connected, order away and ice cream will be delivered curbside in minutes

Uber is warning customers that “demand will be high and availability limited,” so be patient and don’t give up. Or just pop down the local store and get an ice cream there instead. This is the fourth year Uber’s run with an ice cream deal, which involves partnering with a huge number of ice cream sellers from around the world.

With the company often the subject of lessthanflattering headlines, it’s hoping the ice cream offer will score it a few new fans and grab some positive coverage for a change. Even better for the San Francisco-based outfit, the deal and ensuing publicity should land it a few new riders.

Uber’s highly productive PR team likes to roll out deals like this from time to time – remember those Christmas tree deliveries back in 2013? Or the time it delivered kittens to customers for 15 minutes of feline fun?

Gemini Live could soon provide on-the-go subtitles for the hearing impaired

Gemini Live offers a more interactive and conversational experience than traditional voice assistants by enabling natural and free-flowing conversations with AI. However, this feature has a significant drawback that may have deterred some early users.

Just like in regular conversations, Gemini Live operates entirely by voice. For instance, if you ask, “Who won the Super Bowl?” Gemini Live responds, “The Philadelphia Eagles.” Unfortunately, having that type of conversation becomes challenging in noisy environments and is impossible for individuals with hearing impairments.

We like big batteries and cannot lie, the OnePlus 13 Mini can’t deny

The OnePlus 13 Mini is set to be a compact, pocket-friendly device, but it doesn't sacrifice battery capacity in the process. According to Digital Chat Station, the OnePlus Mini 13 might feature a 6,000mAh battery. That's absolutely monstrous capacity, especially when compared to the Samsung Galaxy S25's mere 4,000mAh battery.

The tipster goes on to suggest that this battery size is just a preview, and that OnePlus and Oppo could debut handsets with 7,000mAh batteries by the end of the year. The battery is likely silicon-carbide, allowing for a significantly higher energy density in the same amount of space.

The Vivo V50 shows even budget devices can have big batteries

The Vivo V50 just launched, and though this budget-friendly handset hasn't seen many changes from its previous generation, it does come with a much larger battery: a 6,000mAh one, to be precise. It also gets 90W wired charging to help top off the monster of a battery.

The introduction of silicon-carbide batteries has led to something of a revolution in battery technology. Manufacturers can now pack much more battery life into the same design, and this means that small phones and lower-price options can offer a more streamlined design without sacrificing performance or going with a bulky design.
