There’s bad news for AirPods Live Translation in EU countries

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-06 17:09:56

We first spotted that AirPods Live translation was coming a month before the announcement. Initial language support is listed as English, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish – with four more languages coming later this year. But while European languages are supported, you won’t necessarily be able to take advantage of that if you are within one of the countries in which they’re spoken … We’d already seen some mixed news.

Live Translation with AirPods won't come to EU-based Apple users

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-06 17:54:10

Europe, the bloc with 24 official languages and 287 spoken in total, won't get Apple's Live Translation with AirPods feature for now. "Live Translation with AirPods is not available if you are in the EU and your Apple Account Country or Region is also in the EU," the company said on its iOS feature availability page. No reason was given, but it may have to do with the EU's strict rules around artificial intelligence and how it impacts privacy. If that's the case, Apple may be waiting for the EU

Europe, long seen as a bastion of privacy and digital rights, will debate this week whether to enforce surveillance on citizens' devices. Representatives from member states will meet on Friday to consider legislation critics call Chat Control, aka "laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse," which seeks to require ISPs or messaging app providers to scan user content or backdoor encryption so that intelligence agencies can do it themselves.

AI's $344B 'Language Model' Bet Looks Fragile

news.ycombinator.com Parmy Olson 2025-10-06 16:49:24

Every investor knows not to put all your eggs in one basket. So why is Silicon Valley betting on just one way to build artificial intelligence? This year the world’s four largest tech firms will spend $344 billion on AI, mostly on data centers used to train and run so-called large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT that can process text, audio and visual content. The technology is largely underpinned by the same technique of predicting tokens that appear next in a sequence.

The New York Times Mini Crossword Is Now Paywalled: Here's One Way to Play

The New York Times Mini Crossword is a fun and simple younger sibling to the newspaper's legendary regular daily crossword. The Mini Crossword (we publish the answers daily) usually has only about six across-clues and six down-clues, and you can finish it in less than a minute if all goes well. It makes me feel smart, unlike the big crossword, which sometimes makes me throw things. But in late August, some Mini Crossword players were met with a paywall.
