Adding a feature because ChatGPT incorrectly thinks it exists

Written by Adrian Holovaty on July 7, 2025 Well, here’s a weird one. At Soundslice, our sheet music scanner digitizes music from photographs, so you can listen, edit and practice. We continually improve the system, and I keep an eye on the error logs to see which images are getting poor results. In the last few months, I started noticing an odd type of upload in our error logs. Instead of images like this... ...we were starting to see images like this: Um, that’s just a screenshot of a Chat

The curious rise of giant tablets on wheels

Over the past few years, LG has set off a strange tech trend that’s been rolling onto devices sold across Amazon and other online electronics retailers. In 2022, the company launched the StanbyME, which is essentially a $1,000 27-inch tablet running LG's smart TV operating system (OS), webOS, but lacking a tuner.

Amazon’s Best Portable Monitor Is Nearly 50% Off, Feels Like Prime Day Already Started

Just because you’re a work-from-home employee does not mean you need to be working specifically from home. You can feasibly work from anywhere that has an internet connection if you’d be so inclined. What stops me from getting out more often is that I don’t find myself as productive as when I’m at my desk at home. I’ve built a pretty robust workspace for myself with three large monitors so I can see everything I’m working on at once. When tied to just my laptop screen, I feel restrained. That is

Google is testing a smaller, more reachable Gemini overlay on tablets

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a UI update for the Gemini app on Android tablets that shrinks the size of the overlay. The new overlay is about one-third the width of the screen instead of two-thirds and is anchored to the right side. This updated interface only applies to the standard Gemini experience and seems to be part of a slow server-side rollout. There are a lot of AI chatbots you can talk to these days, but I personally use Google Gemini on all my dev

Android TV gets silently updated with more home screen content tabs — whether you like it or not

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Android TV devices are receiving new content tabs on the home screen via a server-side update. These new tabs add “Top Selling Movies,” “Popular Movies and Shows,” and “Trending on Google” to the home screen.

Android TV, as a platform, is still very much around, but it has been overshadowed by Google TV, a content
