CES season is officially here — and yes, the inbox flood has begun. This week, we sort through the noise to highlight what really matters, including the #CES2026 Innovation Awards and the tech worth watching. We'll also talk about a long-requested Gmail update that may finally let you change your email address (and even switch back), plus practical tips to uninstall Pixel bloatware and free up much-needed space on your iPhone or Android device. And, as always, we'll wrap things up with what's topping the streaming charts.
