Leaked Gaza Plans Show Trump May ‘Relocate’ Palestinians to Build ‘AI-Powered Smart Cities’

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-19 18:50:23

For the past two years, the U.S. has been supplying tens of billions of dollars worth of military aid to Israel so that it can bomb the living crap out of the civilian population in Gaza. Now, as multiple human rights organizations accuse Israel of committing genocide in the region, America’s billionaire developer president seems to think it’s time to spin the bloodshed into real estate gold. The Washington Post has managed to get its hands on a 38-page prospectus that outlines an alleged U.S.

Dolby Atmos FlexConnect Lets You Place Speakers Anywhere

wired.com Simon Cohen 2025-10-19 18:03:00

For years, there have been just two options for better TV sound: A traditional, AV receiver-based home theater system or a soundbar. The AV receiver route is undeniably the best way to go for a truly cinematic experience, but only the most diehard audiophiles are willing to deal with hulking metal boxes, yards of speaker wire, and a minimum of five speakers (plus a subwoofer) that must be placed just so. That’s before you delve into the often arcane settings needed for peak performance. Soundb

Joe Maring / Android Authority Losing your Android phone or having it stolen is never fun. While Google’s Find Hub can make the ordeal a lot less stressful, it isn’t a 100% foolproof solution to recovering a lost device. As with all things in life, having a backup plan is a good idea. In addition to Find Hub, lost Samsung phones also have the option of being found via Samsung’s SmartThings Find service.

You Don't Need iOS 26 to Do Math in Your iPhone's Messages App. Here's How

Apple is set to release iOS 26 this fall -- I'm predicting in less than two weeks -- and it will bring Liquid Glass, call screening and more features to your iPhone. But iOS 18 upgrades your Messages app so that it can solve tricky equations without your Calculator app, and it doesn't need Google to look up conversion rates, either.

Grids are great for tactical gameplay of turn-based games because they allow discrete movement steps. That means that you can bind positioning to other resources such as movement points, action points, food, etc. Grids divide the infinite variety of movement options into a few specific ones, which can be considered separately by the player’s tactical mind.

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

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.
