Pixel 6 support ends this month by Google's count, so here is how to check how long your phone is covered. A phone's software support, not its screen or battery, often sets how long it is safe to use. The article sets out what Google, Samsung and Apple publish about update periods, with end months calculated from Google's own dates for each Pixel from the 6 to the 9, and Apple's record of security-only fixes for iPhones that can't run iOS 27. It explains what the UK and EU rules require and why they matter to US buyers, then ends with a checklist for checking your phone in Settings, erasing it properly before you sell or hand it down, and recycling it safely.

USPS Restored Its 15-Day Wait for Lost-Package Claims. Here's Who Owes You

USPS reset its lost-package claim window in 2026, but who owes you a refund still depends on the seller. On January 18, 2026, USPS went back to a 15-day wait before an insured-mail claim can be filed, undoing a brief 6-day rule. This explainer separates that procedural change from the rules that did not move: who carries the risk while a parcel is in transit, what Amazon's terms and A-to-z Guarantee actually say, why USPS and UPS coverage is built around loss in transit rather than theft from a doorstep, and what Texas and Alabama changed in their package-theft laws. It includes a carrier-by-carrier deadline table, an illustrative $180 example and a step-by-step plan for the first 48 hours.
