Testifying in Oakland in the multistate lawsuit against Meta, Instagram chief Adam Mosseri said he does not instruct employees to conceal information from him that could create legal exposure. He was questioned about whether Meta lawyers restricted internal sharing of research on child safety and teen mental health, and acknowledged the company had narrowed access to some internal studies.
An Entrepreneur contributor argues most companies claiming to be 'AI companies' have simply bought licenses and run pilots, not restructured how they operate. The piece defines true AI-native organizations as ones built on the assumption that intelligence is cheap and abundant, where workflows, staffing and measurement would collapse without the models—unlike adopters, who could remove AI tools and keep functioning, just slower.
Converting standard footage to 4K resolution requires generating new pixels to fill a larger frame, and there are two main approaches: traditional interpolation, which calculates new pixel values based on surrounding color and brightness data, and AI upscaling, which uses models trained on low- and high-resolution image pairs to predict sharper detail. Older interlaced footage adds another wrinkle, since it must be de-interlaced before either upscaling method can be applied properly.
A pattern identified by workplace psychologists describes professionals who chase achievements primarily to escape feelings of shame or inadequacy rather than genuine fulfillment. As a result, hitting milestones brings only fleeting relief instead of lasting satisfaction, leaving high performers feeling empty despite external success.
Televisions lacking built-in Bluetooth can still gain wireless capability by pairing with streaming devices such as the Apple TV, Roku, or Fire TV Stick, all of which include Bluetooth support for connecting headphones or keyboards. A budget option like the $30 Roku Streaming Stick HD offers this feature while also modernizing the TV's software. For broader compatibility across all inputs, a dedicated Bluetooth transmitter is recommended instead.
Billie Piper, known for playing companion Rose Tyler, was asked again about her connection to Doctor Who but gave no clear answers about her role going forward. The franchise itself remains in an uncertain state, with its future direction not yet settled by the BBC or its producers.
Google's Android Pulse, a background system app that has existed since at least March, is now appearing as an available update in the Play Store, drawing attention despite most users never knowingly installing it. The app monitors devices for unusual resource consumption, such as apps suddenly draining battery or hogging memory and processing power, and already has more than 10 million downloads.
Analogue's FPGA-based N64 remake, the Analogue 3D, outputs video at up to 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, but the original games it plays were rendered natively at far lower resolutions, typically around 320 x 240 and occasionally up to 640 x 480. The console upscales and cleans up that old output—removing blur, distance fog, and choppy frame rates—rather than generating new high-resolution textures or geometry.
DoesItPlay, a video game preservation community, is organizing a week-long PlayStation boycott from August 23 to 30, urging players to avoid logging into PSN, playing, or making purchases on Sony platforms. The protest responds to Sony's plan to phase out physical game production by 2028, though critics note the chosen week lacks major releases and overlaps with Gamescom, likely blunting its impact.
