androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-01 14:07:53

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A federal court has ruled that Google will not be required to sell Chrome or Android. The significant ruling is the latest twist in the long-running antitrust case against the company. Google is barred from requiring OEMs to preload the Play Store or other Google apps in exchange for Search. In the long-running saga, Google appears to have avoided one of the most significant possible outcomes of its US antitrust case. A federal court ruled that the compa

Marshall’s lineup of non-rockstar-grade audio gear just got a little bigger. As a part of IFA 2025, the company announced the Heston 60, a more compact soundbar that complements its previously released Heston 120. As usual, Marshall is keeping things mid-century with a design that invokes its classic amps and includes tactile controls (buttons instead of knobs like those used on the Heston 120), woven fabric, and PU leather.

Psychologist Says AI Is Causing Never-Before-Seen Types of Mental Disorder

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-01 16:31:54

Something keeps happening to people who get hooked chatbots like ChatGPT. Mental health professionals are calling it "AI psychosis": turning to the AI models for advice, users soon become entranced by the sycophantic machine's human-like responses. It becomes not just a tool but a companion — and the worst kind, constantly plying you with what you want to hear and validating anything you say, no matter how wrong or unbalanced.
