Google is supercharging screenshot editing on your Pixel with Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-08 20:30:17

The feature was first spotted by Telegram user Omar Tosca, who also shared a demo video of how it works with us (see above). Once you capture a screenshot, tapping the edit button launches Pixel Studio instead of the usual editor. From there, you can crop the image, highlight specific areas, or even select a portion of the screenshot for AI-assisted edits. Once an area in the screenshot is selected, you can simply describe the change you want, and the AI applies it. In Tosca’s video, for example

Furious Fred Durst Knocks Drone Out of Air During Live Concert

Nu metal icon — and notorious rabble-rouser — Fred Durst has a long history of weird beefs, but this latest altercation is bizarre even for him. In audience-shot videos from a recent show in Istanbul, Turkey, the 55-year-old Limp Bizkit frontman laid the smackdown on a drone whose operator dared to fly it too close to the stage, likely seeking to record unauthorized, up-close footage of the boisterous bandleader. The drone got owned, as Stereogum notes, during a "low-key breakdown" in the midd

‘Alien: Earth’ Is Finally Doing What the Movies Have Not

At their core, most of the Alien movies are about corporate greed. The lengths a company, mainly Weyland-Yutani, will go to harness and exploit a power from the deepest reaches of space. Whether that means sacrificing a whole ship of employees, a platoon of soldiers, families, criminals, or cloning dead people, almost every story in the Alien saga is about the idea that getting an alien back to Earth would be a huge benefit to the bottom line of the company.
