Gear News of the Week: Chrome OS Will Merge With Android and Sony Surprises With a New Camera

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2026-01-21 00:00:00

It's been speculated on. It's been rumored. It's been hoped for. And according to an interview with TechRadar, it's happening. Android ecosystem president Sameer Samat says Google plans to combine Chrome OS and Android “into a single platform.” Google has kept its phone and tablet operating systems distinct from its laptop platform. There has been plenty of crossover over the years—the biggest being the introduction of Android apps to Chromebooks back in 2016—but they have always coexisted. Wit

Could OpenAI's rumored browser be a Chrome-killer? Here's what I'm expecting

zdnet.com Steven Vaughan-Nichols 2026-01-21 02:00:17

Omer Taha Cetin/Anadolu via Getty Images Sometime soon, perhaps as early as next week, OpenAI will follow up on its release of ChatGPT agent with its AI-enabled web browser. Officially, neither OpenAI nor its usually chatty CEO, Sam Altman, has anything to say about this browser. Unofficially, it's an open secret that the company is working on one to compete not just with the already shipping AI-enabled web browsers, Perplexity Comet, and Dia, but with the 800-pound gorilla of web browsers, Go

Mr Browser – Macintosh Repository file downloader that runs directly on 68k Macs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-21 00:20:48

What is MR Browser? MR Browser is a small utility app allowing very old Macs from the 90's that are too old to use a normal web browser, but are new enough to connect to the internet through TCP/IP, to access Macintosh Repository online services, e.g. to directly download files without the help of a modern computer. For now, it's limited to only listing files smaller than 1GB, considering it's only meant to run on mid 90's System 7 environments. Note: Before downloading files with MR Browser, to

My Ultimate Self-hosting Setup “The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master (of this setup anyway)." I’ve spent a few years trying different approaches for self-hosting, such as using multiple Docker compose files or Ansible.

Apple Sues the YouTuber Who Leaked iOS 26

wired.com Boone Ashworth 2026-01-20 21:58:05

Leaks are a constant part of big product news cycles, particularly for companies like Apple. Online soothsayers like Jon Prosser and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman have long predicted the content of upcoming Apple announcements, citing anonymous sources from within the company to glean glimpses of what’s next. They have been correct often enough to become a real pain for the Cupertino company. Now, Apple has seized upon an opportunity to fight back against leaks. In a complaint filed Thursday in US fe

The move underscores how the Trump administration is forging ahead with efforts to slash the federal work force and dismantle federal agencies after the Supreme Court allowed these plans to proceed while legal challenges unfold.

‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ Is Delayed Again, but Only for a Bit

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been delayed yet again, only this time, it’s less of a problem and more of a recalibration. The third and final film in the Oscar-winning animated trilogy was originally supposed to be out in early 2024 but was then delayed all the way to June 4, 2027. Now, Sony has tweaked that further and moved the film back three more weeks to June 25, 2027. The reason for this move isn’t because production needs more time, however.

Why a Y Combinator startup tackling AI agents for Windows gave up and pivoted

A startup called Pig.dev that participated in Y Combinator’s Winter 2025 batch was working on a potential revolutionary idea: AI agentic tech to control a Microsoft Windows desktop. But in May, the founder announced he was abandoning the tech and pivoting his company to something entirely different: Muscle Mem, a cache system for AI agents that allows them to offload repeatable tasks.

As White House talks about impounding NASA funding, Congress takes the threat seriously

This has been a good week for the US space agency in terms of the federal budget. On Tuesday, a committee in the US House of Representatives passed a $24.8 billion budget bill for the coming fiscal year. Then, two days later a Senate committee passed a $24.9 billion budget for NASA. Both of these measures would keep funding more or less at the level of the current fiscal year and, for the most part, keep the space agency's programs going on their current trajectories.
