Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google has updated the Gemini app to handle any file type. This includes audio files, which was the top request. Audio length can be up to 10 minutes for free users. Around the beginning of August, we found evidence that Google was working on adding a highly requested feature to Gemini. Specifically, the AI app was getting support for audio file uploads. Fast forward to today, and the function is now live on Android, iOS, and on the web. Don’t want to mi

Google wants Gemini to keep the conversation going, and here’s how it’s going to do it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-11 17:26:22

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a feature within Gemini that suggests follow-up questions. The suggestion prompts help users explore topics and engage in in-depth conversations to get more out of their AI interactions. The feature seems to be a limited test for now. If you’re old enough to have used search engines before their AI-fication, you’re most likely using your AI digital assistant more like a search engine and less like a digital assistant.

M4 Mac mini still remains one of Apple’s best computers to date, here’s why

Apple announced the redesigned Mac mini with M4 chip last October. It’s by no means a new product at this point, and it’s nearly a year old. However, I think it may be one of Apple’s greatest gifts to up and coming creators, developers, and all sorts of creative professionals.

Named Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, the model upgrades your ability to edit your photos natively in Gemini. AI enthusiasts have referred to it as the "nano bananas" model, spurred on by a series of banana-themed teasers from Google execs.

Gemini for Home isn’t enough to revive Google’s forgotten Nest speakers

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google Nest speakers are neat little utility tools that let you holler at Google Assistant anywhere in the house — add something to your shopping list before it slips your mind or run the Roomba in a certain room. They’re so handy that a lot of us just grab Nest Minis by the dozen and place them across our homes so that we can call Assistant from literally anywhere.

Google Gemini dubbed ‘high risk’ for kids and teens in new safety assessment

While the organization found that Google’s AI clearly told kids it was a computer, not a friend — something that’s associated with helping drive delusional thinking and psychosis in emotionally vulnerable individuals — it did suggest that there was room for improvement across several other fronts.

The Unexpected Winners of Trump’s Trade War

I thought I had outsmarted Donald Trump’s tariffs, but I was wrong. Well, at least sort of. On August 29, the US government officially ended an 87-year-old rule that allowed Americans to import small packages tariff-free. Known as the de minimis exemption, the policy had allowed shipments under a certain value threshold—$800 in recent years—to clear customs without paying any duties. Policymakers have been debating changing de minimis for years, but when it finally happened, the move still sent

Venezuela Claims Trump’s Video of Strike Against Suspected Drug Smugglers Is AI

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that his government had conducted a “kinetic strike” against suspected drug smugglers from Venezuela in a boat traveling in the Caribbean. The strike killed 11 people, according to Trump, and he claims they were all gang members. None of those points has been confirmed, and drug smuggling is not a capital offense, making Trump’s strike almost certainly illegal under international law.
