Google’s spotty Find Hub network could get better thanks to a small setup tweak

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-28 19:53:53

Bluetooth trackers have existed for quite a while, but Apple made them worthwhile when it enlisted every iPhone to support AirTags. The tracking was so reliable that Apple had to add anti-stalking features, and there are just as many Android phones out there. However, Google's version of mobile device tracking, known as Find Hub, has been comparatively spotty. Now, Google is about to offer users a choice that could fix Bluetooth tracking on Android. According to a report from Android Authority,

Review: Logitech’s Casa Pop Up Desk is a convenient way to work from anywhere

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-02 07:00:00

Logitech recently provided me with its Casa Pop Up Desk for review, and it’s a nifty little gadget for those who want more of a fixed desk setup while working on the go. If you’re more of a coffee shop person or always working outdoors – this could be a neat product for you. Overview The Casa Pop Up Desk comes in at $179.99, and while that sounds like a hefty price based on just the product name – you’re getting more than what the name would suggest.

Kids' Smartwatches Might Be Better Phone Alternatives: Here's What to Look For

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-03 19:00:10

A big advantage of giving a child a smartwatch is that it saves you from having to buy a smartphone while still providing a direct line to your kid. This can be especially helpful for parents managing pickup and drop-off logistics or relying on other caregivers for transportation. Younger kids, in particular, may benefit from avoiding the distractions that come with a phone. The fact that a watch is strapped to their wrist is also a bonus, considering how many water bottles and sweatshirts end u

Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-03 23:30:23

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority As an avid traveler, Google Maps Timeline has long been one of my favorite hidden features. I’m used to opening it on slow Sunday afternoons and wandering through my own travel history. It showed alleyways I had forgotten, long layovers that blurred together while stepping out for a quick brunch across a new city, and impulsive last-minute rail journeys across Eastern Europe that never made it into photos.

Deezer starts labeling AI-generated music to tackle streaming fraud

techcrunch.com Aisha Malik 2025-09-05 03:25:04

Deezer announced on Friday that it will start labeling albums that include AI-generated tracks as part of its efforts to combat streaming fraud. The company reports that about 18% of the music uploaded each day — more than 20,000 tracks — is now fully AI-generated. Although most of these tracks don’t go viral, Deezer says around 70% of their streams are fake and that they are designed to earn royalties fraudulently. To combat this, AI-generated tracks on Deezer are now clearly tagged. These tr

Deezer says 70% of AI music streams on its service are fake

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-09-09 19:04:00

In brief: The problem of AI-generated music on streaming platforms being "listened" to by AI is so bad on Deezer, up to seven out of every 10 streams of AI tracks are fraudulent, according to the company. The practice can be a lucrative one: in 2024, a man was arrested over claims that he conned music services out of $12 million using this method. The French streaming giant said that AI-generated music accounts for just 0.5% of streams on the platform. However, its own analysis shows that 70% o

Resurrecting a dead torrent tracker and finding 3M peers

So I was uh, downloading some linux isos, like usual. It was going slowly, so I opened up the Trackers tab in qBittorrent and saw the following: Most of the trackers were totally dead. Either the hosts were down or the domains weren’t being used. That got me thinking. What if I picked up one of these dead domains? How many clients would try to connect?

Apple Fitness could benefit greatly from one simple expansion

Apple has definitely built up quite a compelling ecosystem around the Apple Watch. Between all of its fitness challenges, activity rings, and competitions – Apple has certainly found a way to make exercise fun for a lot of people. The problem? Some people simply don’t like the form factor of a smartwatch. The proposal To put it short, I think Apple should allow third party health trackers to integrate with the Apple Fitness app. The catch?
