I Wanted to Switch to Pixel 10, but This iOS 26 Feature Might Keep Me on iPhone

I switched from a Google Pixel 3 XL to Apple's iPhone 12 Pro Max in 2021, and in the years since, I've dearly missed Google's Hold For Me. This feature is so useful that I'm shocked it hasn't been brought to the iPhone or even other Android phones in the years since. Hold For Me saves me from the misery of listening to awful hold music whenever I needed to call up a business, my health insurance provider, my cellphone carrier or any of the other myriad adulting tasks that still require speaking

Are there old, unused electronic devices sitting around your house, just taking up space? It can be tough to get rid of that old laptop, desktop or printer you've got sitting around -- even when it's been over a decade since you last switched it on. Recycling old tech can free up a lot of space in your home. A recent CNET survey found that 31% of US adults are still holding onto unused old devices, including laptops, because they're unsure of what to do with them. The survey also found that 19%

Curated realities: An AI film festival and the future of human expression

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-19 04:00:47

Last week, I attended a film festival dedicated to shorts made using generative AI. Dubbed AIFF 2025, it was an event precariously balancing between two different worlds. The festival was hosted by Runway, a company that produces models and tools for generating images and videos. In panels and press briefings, a curated list of industry professionals made the case for Hollywood to embrace AI tools. In private meetings with industry professionals, I gained a strong sense that there is already a

Google Wants to Get Better at Spotting Wildfires From Space

wired.com Boone Ashworth 2026-03-19 01:30:00

Google wants to launch a battalion of satellites into orbit around the Earth to monitor fires on the ground in real time, then collect all that photographic data and use AI to better identify fires in their critical early stages. Fire Sat is a partnership between Google, the nonprofit Earth Fire Alliance, and the satellite builder Muon Space. The collaborative effort was announced in 2024 with the goal of launching satellites specifically designed to spot wildfires. The first satellite of the p

The Methaphone Is a Phone (That’s Not a Phone) to Help You Stop Using Your Phone

wired.com Arielle Pardes 2026-03-19 02:00:00

Earlier this year, Eric Antonow was in a coffee shop with his family when he felt the familiar, twitchy urge to reach for his phone. He patted his pockets for relief—the cool, thin slab was still there. He joked to his family that, like an addict jonesing for a hit, he would one day need a medical-grade solution to detox from his phone. Opioid addicts had methadone. iPhone addicts would need … methaphones. “It was a joke, but I got two laughs from my two teenagers, which is gold,” Antonow says.

It may well be able to wade through deep water, have crawl-assist mode for sketchy terrain, and even perform 360-degree swivel-on-the-spot tank turns, but sales of the seemingly much-anticipated electric Mercedes G-Class SUV have been poor. Actually, that’s an understatement. They’ve been woeful. And it’s not the only e-flop from a legacy automaker: Just last week Ferrari announced that it is delaying its second EV model (the first will arrive in October) until at least 2028 because of weak dem

TCL 60 XE Nxtpaper 5G Review: A Pleasing Matte Screen

Everyone wants to filter out blue light. Whether through your glasses, laptop, or smartphone, companies have hopped on the bandwagon to integrate blue light blockers to cut the wavelength from reaching your eyes. The claim is to help improve sleep and reduce eyestrain, even though studies have yet to find these blockers effective. TCL is one such company.
