Google Photos has a new look for its editor, and reactions are split

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR For its 10th anniversary, Google Photos announced it was overhauling its editor UI. The new editor was initially supposed to arrive in June, but Google later pushed that back to August. With August still a few days away, we’re already seeing the new interface roll out. Google Photos isn’t just a great solution for storing and organizing all your pics, but also a solid all-in-one tool for performing some edits. Back in May, while Google was celebratin

Stop selling “unlimited”, when you mean “until we change our minds”

Bottom line: Anthropic just added weekly limits to Claude Pro ($20/month) and Claude Max ($200/month), affecting their heaviest users of Claude Code…mid-workflow. Why it matters: This is the same playbook we’ve seen AI companies use before—hook users with "unlimited" access, then cap the power users who matter most. Theo from t3.chat summed it up perfectly: "No free lunch lasts forever." The Same Playbook, Different Day Here's how the AI pricing bait-and-switch works: Launch with generous/u

Google Photos could soon get a new “Help me edit” feature (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos is testing a new “Help me edit” feature that would leverage Gemini-powered AI for editing. This tool will use a text box allowing users to input specific edits they’d like applied to their images. Google Photos is a very handy app for photo management and editing. With its Gemini push, Google has also blessed Photos with several AI features, such as Magic Eraser, Magic Editor, and more. Google appears to be working on adding one more to

Truchet Tiles

Square tiles used in graphic design In information visualization and graphic design, Truchet tiles are square tiles decorated with patterns that are not rotationally symmetric. When placed in a square tiling of the plane, they can form varied patterns, and the orientation of each tile can be used to visualize information associated with the tile's position within the tiling.[1] Truchet tiles were first described in a 1704 memoir by Sébastien Truchet entitled "Mémoire sur les combinaisons", and

Elden Ring Nightreign is adding two-player co-op next week

Elden Ring Nightreign is finally adding a two-player co-op mode on July 30. Prior to this, FromSoftware's spinoff could only be played solo or with three players. The so-called Duo Expeditions come as part of patch 1.02. This is something fans have been asking for, as not everybody has two friends available at once to tackle a tough-as-nails 3D adventure. FromSoftware has released a trailer to accompany this news, so you can see the two-player co-op in action. Beyond Duo Expeditions, the forth

VSCO launches dedicated 'Capture' app with live previews

VSCO, the photo filter and editing app that spawned an entire culture , has released a dedicated camera app called VSCO Capture. The free iOS‑only app is a camera with live previews where users can choose from over 50 different presets with real‑time film effects and manual settings like shutter speed and exposure for fine‑tuning.
