The biggest Google-related buzz centers on AI changes and their downstream effects: Gemini Spark rollouts and usage limit adjustments, plus controversy that Google’s AI search update may be pushing users toward DuckDuckGo’s “No AI” search. A separate thread focuses on security and privacy risks, including exploit code affecting Chromium users and a vaultjacking phishing method targeting Google Password Manager.

Google pushes Gemini sharing fixes as it irons out usage limits and app glitches

Google is rolling out new Gemini sharing tools for Workspace users, letting chats, canvases, and generated media be shared through Google Drive. The feature uses Drive’s familiar sharing interface, shares only a snapshot of the conversation at that point, and is enabled by default for Workspace customers. Admins can control both public link sharing and Drive sharing in the Admin Console. androidauthority.com neowin.net

At the same time, Google is still addressing Gemini’s usage-limit complaints. Google has said it is changing the compute-based quota system to make limits more predictable, capping how much a single prompt can use, and excluding failed requests from usage counts. It is also adding more detailed breakdowns and notifications for heavier tasks like Deep Research. androidauthority.com 9to5google.com

Outside Gemini, Google also pushed out product fixes elsewhere in its ecosystem. The company says the YouTube Music issues affecting iPhone users have been fixed with app version 9.21, and Google announced that an issue with YouTube Music playback, miniplayer, and CarPlay was resolved after late-May updates. Separately, Google signaled upcoming updates for Google Photos Memories editing and shared new details on Gemini-related hardware and design tools. 9to5google.com androidpolice.com guru3d.com xda-developers.com

Common questions on Google, surfaced from across the indexed web.

Could NotebookLM be next?

There's literally a website called Killed by Google dedicated to tracking every product the company has discontinued, and at this point, the list is long enough to make anyone hesitant about getting too attached to a Google product (no matter how good it may be). Given that NotebookLM spent months as an experiment in Labs, then graduated from it and became a full-fledged product and is where it is today, I don't really think it'll get killed off. But what I covered in the section above does seem plausible. NotebookLM could stop being its own thing, and just become a tab inside Gemini. All that

Google's silence on NotebookLM at I/O proves why people don't trust their products
