      Google Gemini Hit by "Chat Amnesia" Sidebar History Vanishes for Many Users.

      Image
        Missing Chat History: Google Gemini Users Report Widespread Sidebar Glitch According to reports from PiunikaWeb , a significant number of Google Gemini users are experiencing a sudden disappearance of their conversation history from the platform's sidebar. This issue appears to be widespread, affecting free-tier users as well as premium subscribers on Gemini Pro and Gemini Business plans. The "Empty Sidebar" Mystery Discussions on Reddit and Google’s official support forums reveal that months or even years of accumulated chat logs have vanished, leaving users with a blank interface. However, there is a silver lining: users have noted that their prompt history remains visible within Google’s "My Activity" dashboard on both mobile and web. This suggests that the data itself has not been permanently deleted. Instead, the glitch appears to be a server-side loading error , where the application is temporarily unable to retrieve and display stored logs from Goog...

      Image
      The Fall of the Walled Garden: How EU Regulation is Rewriting the iPhone’s DNA in 2026 For over a decade, the "Golden Rule" for iPhone users was simple: "If you want an app, you get it from the App Store ." However, in 2026, this ironclad policy has been shattered across the European Union (EU). Driven by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) , a landmark antitrust regulation, the EU has successfully forced Apple to dismantle its long-standing monopoly. Breaking the Gatekeeper’s Grip The EU identifies Apple as a "Gatekeeper" a tech giant with excessive control over software access. Under the DMA, Apple has been compelled to open iOS to several transformative changes: Third-Party App Stores: Users can now install marketplaces like the Epic Games Store or AltStore.

This move aligns with Etsy’s current broader strategy to divest from specialized subsidiaries acquired during the pandemic-era e-commerce boom. Over the past year, Etsy has been offloading various assets, including the musical instrument marketplace Reverb and the Brazilian handmade marketplace Elo7 . Depop by the Numbers Depop remains a powerhouse in the "re-commerce" sector, particularly among younger demographics. Key performance metrics from the past year include: Gross Merchandise Value (GMV): Approximately $1 billion . Active Communi...
