Sony is rolling out a PlayStation parental controls mobile app

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-05 04:50:03

Sony is finally catching up to something Nintendo and Microsoft have had for years. The new PlayStation Family app mainly serves as a mobile extension of on-console parental controls. However, parents also get a few extra perks in the mobile version. The app includes a "thoughtfully guided" onboarding process. (I imagine many people will prefer their phone or tablet over the console for that.) Once things are set up, parents can do everything they already could on the console. This includes set

Amazon wants to build the Echo of AR glasses

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-05 20:30:59

TL;DR Amazon is supposedly working on two pairs of AR glasses. A larger, monochrome model could assist its delivery drivers and may debut in the first half of next year. The more compact, color-screen consumer glasses might not arrive until 2027. Amazon’s track record with tech hardware is a bit mixed, to put it lightly. We’ve seen some epic failures over the years, like the disaster that was the Fire Phone, and while its Echo smart speakers have been market leaders, it’s still very unclear i

[ITS] According to a conspiracy theory long popular among ITS and TOPS-20 fans, Unix's growth is the result of a plot, hatched during the 1970s at Bell Labs, whose intent was to hobble AT&T's competitors by making them dependent upon a system whose future evolution was to be under AT&T's control. This would be accomplished by disseminating an operating system that is apparently inexpensive and easily portable, but also relatively unreliable and insecure (so as to require continuing upgrades from

Should AI Get Legal Rights?

In the often strange world of AI research, some people are exploring whether the machines should be able to unionize. I’m joking, sort of. In Silicon Valley, there’s a small but growing field called model welfare, which is working to figure out whether AI models are conscious and deserving of moral considerations, such as legal rights. Within the past year, two research organizations studying model welfare have popped up: Conscium and Eleos AI Research. Anthropic also hired its first AI welfare
