The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. We were once promised self-driving cars and robot maids. Instead, we’ve seen the rise of artificial intelligence systems that can beat us in chess, analyze huge reams of text, and compose sonnets. This has been one of the great surprises of the modern era: physical tasks that are easy for humans turn out to be very difficult for robots, while algorithms are increasingly able to mimic our intellect. Another surprise that has long p
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos is getting a swiping mechanism to keep or delete photos, and we got it working. With this, you will be able to weed out unwanted photos by swiping left on them. It currently lets you keep or delete images and videos from daily or monthly clusters in the Google Photos app. Among the many reasons to use Google Photos is the ease of backing up valuable memories to Drive and accessing them across multiple devices. But enabling automatic upl
Google loves AI, and it’s doubled down on the tech with every new Pixel generation. But this year’s Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL take things to another level, introducing a diffusion model to upscale images from the phone’s conservative 5x optical zoom into telescopic-length 100x photos. Google is no stranger to computational photography or AI-assisted imaging — features like Add Me and Astrophotography mode laid the groundwork for its ongoing evolution. However, the introduction of diffusion models
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Welcome to Wallpaper Wednesday!

If you're allergic to anything, check any supplement's label and look into the brand before purchasing. Some of the best supplements for joint health may contain allergens, such as fish. Common prescriptions, including blood thinners, may interact with certain supplements taken for joint health and cause serious side effects. Always be sure to clear any new dietary supplement with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it to your daily rotation if you're taking any medication, even though you
The second season of Prime Video's Fallout is coming this December and the marketing machine is just starting to ramp up. The streamer has released some light plot details and, more importantly, several cool images. Two of these photos reference the franchise's iconic New Vegas location, which was teased at the end of the first season. Prime Video says that season two will take "audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas." However
TL;DR A Reddit user posted images of an alleged Kindle Petit Color prototype with a Kaleido 3 color E-Ink display. Claimed features include “progressive color” text, adjustable saturation, detachable bezels, and a November 2025 launch. The leaker says a larger ”Kindle Carta Color” is also in development, but none of these details are confirmed. Every so often, a corporate dispute spills out in public. In the tech world, that can mean unreleased hardware suddenly hitting the internet. That’s w
Some Android users are starting to see blurred images on their devices while using Google Messages. It's part of a Sensitive Content Warning system announced last year that is now rolling out on Android devices that obscures images containing suspected nudity. In a Help Center post, Google explains that when the feature is turned on, these warnings can detect and blur images with nudity and generate a warning when one is being received, sent or forwarded. "All detection and blurring of nude ima
Google is rolling out a new safety feature for the Messages app on Android. As spotted by 9to5Google , the company is making Sensitive Content Warnings more broadly available after beta testing the option since April . Google announced it last October. The feature can detect and blur images that include nudity. However, it’ll only work if you’re signed into a Google Account in the Messages app. When Messages detects and blurs such an image, you will be able to choose between several actions. Y
TL;DR Real-world images of what appears to be a dummy unit of the Pixel 10 have surfaced. The images suggest that Google may not have completely ditched the physical SIM tray. A week from today, we’ll be watching Google’s Pixel launch event. At this point, we’ve seen more than enough renders of the Pixel 10 family, so we have a pretty good idea what we’re in for. But if you’re looking for something a little more tangible than renders, some real-world images have recently surfaced online. Don’
The Mary Queen of Scots Channel Anamorphosis: A 3D Simulation May 17, 2025 Roscoe, N.Y. I’ve been going down some odd rabbit holes recently while researching my free online book-in-progress The Lost Art of Logarithms. Although the book is mostly focused on the history, use, meaning, and importance of logarithms, I believe that even histories of science and mathematics profit by being placed within political, cultural, social, and religious contexts. This is particularly true of John Napier’s

The XZ-Utils backdoor, first discovered in March 2024, is still present in at least 35 Linux images on Docker Hub, potentially putting users, organizations, and their data at risk. Docker Hub is the official public container image registry operated by Docker, allowing developers and organizations to upload or download prebuilt images and share them with the community. Many CI/CD pipelines, developers, and production systems pull images directly from Docker Hub as base layers for their own cont

While Microsoft was busy updating Copilot yesterday with OpenAI’s new GPT-5 model, it also quietly launched Copilot 3D. It’s a free-to-use feature that can transform a regular 2D image into a 3D model that can then be used in game creation, animation, 3D printing, VR / AR, and much more. C
TL;DR New marketing images of the Pixel 10 series have been leaked. The leak mainly focuses on the base model, but also includes images of the Pro and XL. After the color options for the Pixel 10 initially leaked, we threw up a poll asking our readers what their favorite color was. Out of those four options, Indigo emerged as the clear winner. Now everyone’s favorite colorway is back in the spotlight in the latest Pixel 10 leak. This leak offers a glimpse at the Pro models as well. We have be
Cardio is more than just running laps or hopping on a bike. It's any movement that gets your heart pumping, your body sweating and your energy levels soaring. Whether you're chasing a weight loss goal or looking to boost endurance, there's a cardio workout that fits your mood and motivation. Not into high-impact moves? Go for swimming or a rowing session that's easier on the joints. Want something that pushes your limits? Sprinting or HIIT might be your jam. Cardio is flexible and lets you mix i

Formula 1 teams can start their annual summer break today. Sometime this month, each of the 10 teams has to close its factory for 14 consecutive days. Laptops stay in the office, email goes unchecked. It all sounds very civilized for a sport where the difference between hero and zero can come down to milliseconds. As was the case at this past weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, at least in qualifying. When the Hungaroring was added to the calendar back in 1986, it was F1's first true foray behind t
Spoiler: not really dafont.com is a wonderful website that contains a large collection of fonts. It’s more comprehensive and esoteric than Google Fonts. One of its features is a forum where users can ask for help identifying fonts – check out this poor fellow who’s been waiting for over two years and bumped his thread. I thought it would be interesting to see if an LLM could do this task, so I scraped the forum and set up a benchmark. I implemented this as a live benchmark. By this I mean that
WTF?! One of the many fears about AI use becoming widespread is that people can now alter images – sometimes convincingly – without any technical skills. An example of this surfaced recently when an Airbnb guest said a host manipulated photos in a false £12,000 ($9,041) damage claim. The incident took place earlier this year when a London-based woman booked a one-bedroom apartment in New York's Manhattan for two-and-a-half months while she was studying, reports The Guardian. She decided to leav
Andy Walker / Android Authority Every modern smartphone has a capable camera system, and there’s a good chance that you regularly browse the images you capture with it. Most devices come with a brand-adjacent gallery app. I find that Samsung Gallery is one of the best in this regard. But what if you don’t own a Samsung and want a brand-agnostic option? After many years of trying various apps, I’ve narrowed my favorite gallery app selection to just five options. Some products have overlapping f
However, a clear trend when working with AI generated images is their unique look: overly-blurry backgrounds, waxy skin textures, boring composition, and more. Together, these problems constitute what is now known as the “AI look” . Image generation has come a long way since the early days of generating cats and flowers with GANs. Today's models can generate coherent human faces, limbs, and hands. They understand exact quantities, render complex typography, and make an astronaut ride a horse.
