This is probably the strangest Beats collaboration in the Apple era

Disclaimer: Beats Pill speakers should not be consumed. Don’t tell that to this creature, though. Remember the Beats Pill Dude? He’s returning, at least in spirit, as a limited edition drop in select markets, starting with England next week. The Beats Pill Dude predated Apple’s purchase of Beats in 2014. That was then. This is now. Verdy mascot Vear is back as a Beats Pill speaker holder with big collectible energy. This is the version that was released in 2024: Vear is here. Designed by V

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET I have a number of inspection cameras, and they're fantastic for getting eyes into places that you normally can't get to. But they're typically large and bulky, designed for mechanics and HVAC engineers, which limits their usability when it comes to inspecting device ports or probing around cracks and crevices looking for a lost fastener.

These Chunks of Ice Move All By Themselves, Thanks to a Cool Engineering Trick

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-18 18:20:54

It looks like something straight out of a Ouija board horror movie, but frosty—researchers have figured out how to make ice move by itself. A video capturing the creepy dynamic features an ice disk melting on a metal surface etched with an asymmetrical herringbone pattern. The ice and its small puddle slowly start to move sideways before suddenly picking up speed and slingshotting across the metal plate. The researchers suggest that this sort of independent movement could one day generate power

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a new feature called Scroll and Translate that adds live translation capabilities to Circle to Search. There’s confusion about the branding, as the company has interchangeably called the feature “Live Translate” and “Scroll and Translate.” The rollout appears to be limited as only Google app beta users on Pixels have received the feature so far.

Liver King Accused of Breaking Blood-Bound Contract He Insisted Upon

Liver King, the very red gentleman who receives what is perhaps the most liberal interpretation of the title “health and fitness influencer,” is in the middle of what can mostly be described as an extremely petty and deeply stupid lawsuit over a supplement.

Why we should thank pigeons for our AI breakthroughs

People looking for precursors to artificial intelligence often point to science fiction by authors like Isaac Asimov or thought experiments like the Turing test. But an equally important, if surprising and less appreciated, forerunner is Skinner’s research with pigeons in the middle of the 20th century. Skinner believed that association—learning, through trial and error, to link an action with a punishment or reward—was the building block of every behavior, not just in pigeons but in all living

Google has agreed to pay a fine of $55 million AUD ($36 million USD) for anticompetitive practices, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced.
