Google just made it way easier to use Chrome extensions on Android — here’s how

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is developing a new version of Chrome for Android that supports extensions, and recent builds show significant progress. It’s now possible to install Chrome extensions directly from the Chrome Web Store, and they will persist even after restarting the browser. The feature is still experimental and intended for future Android-powered PCs, but anyone can sideload the APK to try it now. While Google Chrome is by far the most popular browser on And

How Texas’ hands-off approach to autonomous vehicles gave Tesla an opening

Last week, a Tesla Model Y with the word “ROBOTAXI” scratched into its side and no one in the driver seat made a turn off Austin’s bustling South Congress Avenue. Another Tesla, described by autonomous vehicle experts as a “chase vehicle,” followed closely behind. Tesla CEO Elon Musk commented on the clip, seemingly confirming that the lead car was one of roughly 10 vehicles comprising the company’s robotaxi fleet, expected to make their official debut sometime next week. If that does occur, it

Can we trust Google Maps to get us anywhere anymore?

Andy Walker / Android Authority 🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. This past weekend, I was driving home from a wonderful break in the country. I usually use Google Maps to guide me home on longer drives, even if I have driven that route before. It’s more of a comfort than a necessity. However, it tried its level best to take me on an unwanted adventure. To get h

You can now create custom GPTs with any OpenAI model, but there’s a catch

If you’ve been experimenting with custom GPTs inside ChatGPT, here’s a welcome upgrade: OpenAI now lets users pick from all available models when building or running a custom GPT, not just GPT-4o. Here’s how it works (and what’s missing). What are custom GPTs again? If you have no idea what this is, you’re not alone. OpenAI launched custom GPTs in late 2023, but the feature hasn’t exactly taken off the way the company probably hoped. Here’s how OpenAI describes them: “…custom versions of Chat

Slow Wi-Fi? How to add a wired network to your home without an Ethernet cable

Rodica Cojocaru/Getty Images Wireless internet connections are convenient, but they're also notoriously unreliable. Nothing proves that point more emphatically than a glitchy video conference call, especially if it's tied to a crucial business meeting. The answer is to run a wired network connection to your home office. Wi-Fi is great for mobility, but a wired connection offers many advantages when it comes to working from home. It's faster and more reliable, with lower latency, all of which m

Best Internet Providers in Tampa, Florida

What is the best internet provider in Tampa, Florida? Frontier Fiber is CNET's top pick for the best internet provider in Tampa. We recommend it for most households in the area because it offers solid speeds at reasonable prices and has high customer satisfaction scores.

The two wireless providers have solid offerings and bundlin

Study: Meta AI model can reproduce almost half of Harry Potter book

In recent years, numerous plaintiffs—including publishers of books, newspapers, computer code, and photographs—have sued AI companies for training models using copyrighted material. A key question in all of these lawsuits has been how easily AI models produce verbatim excerpts from the plaintiffs’ copyrighted content. For example, in its December 2023 lawsuit against OpenAI, The New York Times Company produced dozens of examples where GPT-4 exactly reproduced significant passages from Times sto

Whistleblower warning: 2FA codes sent via SMS are trivially easy to intercept

Weak Link: Two-factor authentication is designed to harden device security and make unauthorized access even trickier for bad actors. In the imperfect world we live in, however, there's almost always a weak link, and one popular delivery method for 2FA is no exception. Many implementations of two-factor authentication involve sending a one-time passcode to the end user via SMS. Once entered, the user is logged in and it's business as usual. The problem is the inherent weakness of SMS, and the f

Here’s My Experience With 5 Cheap Gadgets I Bought From AliExpress

If you're shopping online, you may have noticed products from Temu and AliExpress often come up in your shopping search. These items are so cheap that you may wonder if it's really a steal or if you should stay away. I was in that boat as well. And I love a good YouTube video where the host tests cheap tech from low-cost retailers. So, curious as I am, I decided to try my hand at testing cheap home products from the popular discount marketplace, AliExpress. Now, when shopping for a new piece of

Literate programming tool for any language

Literate What is Literate programming? Literate programming is a style of programming invented by Donald Knuth, where the main idea is that a program's source code is made primarily to be read and understood by other people, and secondarily to be executed by the computer. This frees the programmer from the structure of a program imposed by the computer and means that the programmer can develop programs in the order of the flow of their thoughts. A Literate program generally consists of expla

Tesla's robotaxi debut will reportedly be limited to only 10 cars in very specific areas

The long-promised launch of Tesla's robotaxi service in Austin is scheduled for June 22, and it sounds like the company's initial offering will be modest at best. The Financial Times writes that Tesla will only have around 10 cars available for rides and that the company plans to make them "avoid the city’s most challenging intersections." If issues arise, remote operators will also reportedly be able to take control of the cars to make sure they reach their final destination. Tesla CEO Elon Mu

Microsoft to lay off thousands in July, but don't worry, AI's getting $80 billion

In context: There's been plenty of talk about machines displacing human workers in the AI Age, mainly focusing on direct replacements – computers taking over tasks like design and programming. Meanwhile, spending on AI infrastructure soars as investment in human skills steadily declines. Bloomberg reports that Microsoft is preparing to lay off thousands of workers next month, with most of the cuts expected to hit the company's sales and customer service divisions. It's a jarring move but not an

‘The Phantom of the Paradise’ Might Find New Life as a Stage Play

The Phantom of the Paradise, the vastly underrated horror-tinged rock opera from the minds of Brian De Palma (Carrie) and Paul Williams (The Muppet Movie), might be getting a new musical adaptation. Movie Maker reports that Williams and Sam Pressman, whose father Ed Pressman produced the 1974 cult film, are currently developing it as a stage production. “I’m excited about having a chance to deliver what fans have been suggesting for years… POTP as a stage musical,” Williams said in a statement

David Zaslav Is Getting a Pay Cut

David Zaslav, the unfortunate CEO of the company formerly known as Warner Bros. Discovery (the company, which was once two separate companies but became one, is splitting up again), has often been accused of being bad at his job and, now, it would appear that the people who pay his salary may agree. A new report from Deadline finds that Zaslav is scheduled to receive a sizable pay cut this year. Citing a recent SEC filing, Deadline notes that a new business agreement will “significantly reduce

Omega-3s: Benefits, Drawbacks and Foods to Add to Your Diet

You probably know at least one person who takes fish oil to boost their omega-3s, which are said to benefit heart, eye and cognitive health. But what exactly are omega-3s? In addition to the potential benefits, it's important to consider side effects and whether omega-3s are right for your body. You should also note that omega-3s are present in many foods you may have in your pantry or fridge right now, so supplements may not be necessary unless your doctor recommends them.

Every fusion startup that has raised over $100M

Over the last several years, fusion power has gone from the butt of jokes — always a decade away! — to an increasingly tangible and tantalizing technology that has drawn investors off the sidelines.

If startups are able to complete commercially viable fusion power plants, then they have the potential
