androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-25 05:24:41

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google has offered more details on its new Remix feature for the Photos app. Users will be able to edit photos to reflect different art styles, such as anime, 3D animation, sketch, and comic books. There will be a Regenerate button to get different results. Back in July, Google announced the Photos app would get two new AI-powered features. One tool was a photo-to-video generator, and the other turns photos into illustrations reflecting different art styl

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority Samsung smartphones are crammed full of valuable features, from One UI’s readymade tools to Good Lock’s downloadable bounty. One example that I’ve taken full advantage of is Modes and Routines. First launched in 2022 as Bixby Routines, the feature allows users to create and initiate a series of settings based on conditions. This allows wide-ranging automatic control of one’s phone and, more importantly for Galaxy Watch users, their smartwatches. Suppose you

An upcoming update introduces a customizable three-finger tap gesture for actions like launching Gemini, going home, or middle-clicking.

Tyler, the Creator's New Album Is Getting Buried by AI Knockoff

It's a funny time to be a musician, to put it lightly. On top of the glut of social feeds and streaming services they have to maintain, artists and their representatives are now fighting AI bots for their listeners' attention — and the humans aren't always winning. Acclaimed musician and producer Tyler "Tyler, the Creator" Okonma certainly didn't when his surprise summer album "Don't Tap The Glass" got largely undermined by low-effort AI slop.

VHS, VCDs, and Laserdiscs in Southeast Asia

One of those factoids you often hear about Southeast Asia is that VCDs and Laserdiscs were more popular than VHS tapes. The cited reason is usually mould, on account of their tropical climates. But there was more to it. For starters, what are VCDs and Laserdiscs? One of them is an initialism, and the other one is a word that sometimes employs camelCase. Initialisms are distinct from acronyms, in that you don’t pronounce them as a word. Laser is an acronym, and ATM is an initialism. camelCased w
