Google’s Big Leap Forward for Real-Time Translations Is Deepfaking Your Voice

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-11 23:15:57

I can’t count the number of times I’ve been promised the Next Big Thing in app-enabled translation. Since the dawn of Google Translate, it’s felt like tech companies (not just Google, but Samsung and Apple, too) have been teasing a future where speech can be translated instantaneously, allowing for near-seamless communication between people from *sarcastic SpongeBob voice* across the world. But the truth is, that future, however enticing on paper, hasn’t exactly panned out. As incredible as app

The Cybertruck Is Such a Mess That Insurance Companies Are Refusing to Even Cover It Not even insurance companies want anything to do with it. Truck Putz Tesla's Cybertruck is turning out to be a full-blown disaster. Sales are circling the drain, with the Elon Musk-led automaker selling a mere 4,306 Cybertrucks in the second quarter of 2025, a stunning 50.8 percent drop over the same period last year.

Google is expanding a key anti-theft feature to make your apps more secure

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Android’s Identity Check feature is being expanded in the upcoming Android 16 QPR2 update to better protect your sensitive apps. The feature will now enforce biometric-only authentication for any app that uses the biometric prompt, removing the screen lock credential as a fallback.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 will likely be my first Ultra model for two reasons

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-11-12 15:50:31

Apple Watch Ultra 3 is almost here, and rumors indicate it should be very much worth the two-year wait between upgrades. Here are two reasons I’m leaning toward making Apple Watch Ultra 3 my first ever Ultra model. #1: Bigger screen than ever before Apple Watch Ultra has historically offered a significantly larger display than other Apple Watch models. But that changed last year, when Apple Watch Series 10 eclipsed it. This year, however, all signs point to Apple Watch Ultra 3 retaking the sc

They Might Be Making the Perfect ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ Game

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-12 16:45:19

For as long as Star Trek: Voyager has been around, there has been much debate about if Captain Janeway made the right decisions navigating her crew’s journey home across years of travel from an unexplored corner of the galaxy with little to no support from Starfleet. Should she have killed Tuvix to save the lives of two crewmembers? Should she have been hyperevolved into an amphibian and had sex with one of her senior, also-currently-a-hyperevolved-amphibian officers? Should she have deleted tha

This is the Ultimate '90s Cyberpunk Movie (No, It's Not 'The Matrix')

The cyberpunk movement has given us some of the best science fiction movies: Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell and, yes, The Matrix. But there's one great tech noir flick that came out at the height of the cyberpunk craze -- and then all but disappeared. Maybe that's partly because of its title. I'd wanted to rewatch Strange Days for a long time, but I kept forgetting because, honestly, I couldn't remember what it was called. Then I finally rediscovered the sci-fi thriller on Hulu.

As Gizmodo reports, it's an exciting prospect that could give fusion — which has remained elusive despite decades of research, though many scientists believe it could mature into a viable grid-scale power source — a chance of one day becoming a viable source of clean and safe energy.
