The Tiniest Action Camera Is Now Slightly Larger, and So Much Better for It

Insta360 wanted to upset the staid design of action cameras two years ago with its Insta360 Go 3 and its odd magnetic camera pod. As much as I may want to stick a camera on my fridge, most users still want a device that will shoot video of the same quality as their average GoPro—no matter if the camera itself is the size of their thumb. As with most lenses, inevitably, you have to go bigger. The new $450 Insta360 Go Ultra trades out the old pop-out pod shape for a cube. It makes this magnetic ac

The Pixel 10 Pro’s new always-on display finally shows your full wallpaper

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 Pro has a new feature that allows you to show your lock screen wallpaper on the always-on display (AOD). Your wallpaper is dimmed and blurred so as to not interfere with other elements on the AOD. Due to the feature’s display requirement, it won’t be available on the base Pixel 10. Google launched the Pixel 10 the other day, and as usual, the new phones come with a host of smaller features that weren’t highlighted during the launch

Oh No, ‘World of Warcraft’ Is Getting Me Elf-Pilled Again

As someone who has played World of Warcraft on and off for what now qualifies as a significant portion of my life over the last 21 years, I’ve come to learn that there are two things that I deeply appreciate about Blizzard’s long-running fantasy MMO. The first is the way Warcraft has sat with, and handled, the evolution of its world and characters over those two decades as an ongoing entity. Well, that’s not really the first. Because the actual first is that I just really love Warcraft‘s elves.

Trump's Nvidia and Intel meddling is a 'scattershot method of crony capitalism': Walter Isaacson

President Donald Trump's dealings with Intel and Nvidia amount to a "scattershot method of crony capitalism," Walter Isaacson said Thursday. "That state capitalism often evolves into crony capitalism, where you have favored companies and industries that pay tribute to the leader, and that is a recipe for not only disaster, but just sort of a corrupt sense of messiness," he told CNBC's "Squawk Box." The Tulane University professor, widely known for his recent Elon Musk biography, argued that th

Google Search can now present real-time table booking results, but only if you pay up for AI

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s AI Mode is getting an agentic mode to help you with hotel reservations. AI Mode will also scan for your diet and seating preferences and offer suggestions for cafes and restaurants in particular areas. It is now expanding to over 180 countries for searches in English. Yesterday’s Pixel launch displays Google’s determination to bring agentic AI features to Android devices. While Magic Cue on Pixel 10 is just a step in that direction, the company

Masimo files lawsuit over Apple's 'redesigned' blood oxygen monitoring feature

Masimo, the medical technology company whose lawsuit led to the temporary sales pause of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, has sued the US Customs and Border Protection days after Apple released its redesigned blood oxygen monitoring feature. This is just the latest update in the lengthy legal saga between Masimo and Apple, which started when the former sued the iPhonemaker in 2021, accusing it of infringing on several of its light-based blood oxygen monitoring patents. After a court sided w

AI is creeping into the Linux kernel - and official policy is needed ASAP

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Linux kernel developers are already using AI. AI helps Linux programmers, but they're careful how they use it. Linux kernel maintainers must decide key AI policy issues. Get more in-depth ZDNET: Add us as a preferred Google source on Chrome and Chromium browsers.

AWS CEO says using AI to replace junior staff is 'Dumbest thing I've ever heard'

Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman has suggested firing junior workers because AI can do their jobs is "the dumbest thing I've ever heard." Garman made that remark in conversation with AI investor Matthew Berman, during which he talked up AWS’s Kiro AI-assisted coding tool and said he's encountered business leaders who think AI tools "can replace all of our junior people in our company." That notion led to the “dumbest thing I've ever heard” quote, followed by a justification that junior staf

James Gunn Has Another Update on the DCU’s Immediate Future

A new book teases what’s in store for Sidney in her Scream 7 return. A new look at The Conjuring: Last Rites teases the horror to come. Plus, the director behind Coyote vs. Acme has a new supernatural movie in the works. Spoilers now! The DCU/The Batman, Part II During his recent appearance on the I Think You’re Overthinking It podcast (via Screen Rant), James Gunn stated The Batman, Part II will “hopefully” begin filming before his mysterious Superman follow-up. I can say that probably the n

Google’s AI Mode expands globally, adds new agentic features

On the ground in Ukraine’s largest Starlink repair shop

Supported by Kutkov’s technical expertise and Stepanets’s organizational prowess, Kovalskyy’s warehouse became the major repair hub (though other volunteers also make repairs elsewhere). Over time, Kovalskyy—who co-owned a regional internet service provider before the war—and his crew have learned to perform adjustments to Starlink terminals, especially to adapt them for battlefield conditions. For example, they modified them to receive charge at the right voltage directly from vehicles, years b

The Pixel 10 series brings even more panorama mode upgrades

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 phones bring several more upgrades to the panorama mode. You can now take panoramas with the 5x camera, although ultrawide panoramas are still out of the question. Google has also brought manual controls to the panorama mode so you can fine-tune your snap. Google neglected panorama mode on its Pixel phones for a long time. However, the Pixel 9 series delivered a variety of welcome upgrades last year. Now, Google has brought even more addit

Using Podman, Compose and BuildKit

Using Podman, Compose and BuildKit 2025-02-23 For my day job, I need to build and run a Docker Compose project. However, because Docker doesn’t play well with nftables and I prefer a rootless + daemonless approach, I’m using Podman. Podman supports Docker Compose projects with two possible solutions: either by connecting the official Docker Compose CLI to a Podman socket, either by using their own drop-in replacement. They ship a small wrapper to select one of these options. (The wrapper has t

Apple's iOS 18.6.1 Brings This Redesigned Feature Back to Some Devices

Apple released iOS 18.6.1 on Aug. 14 after the tech giant mentioned the mobile software update in a blog post earlier that day. The update introduces a redesigned blood oxygen experience to iPhones paired with certain Apple Watches, but not much else. You can download iOS 18.6.1 by going to Settings, then tapping General. Next, select Software Update, then tap Update Now and follow the prompts on your screen. People with an Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10 or Apple Watch Ultra 2 can also downlo

Blood of the Dawnwalker Is a Vampire Action RPG with Breath of the Wild's Neatest Feature

There's an ill wind howling through the valley -- and no, it isn't just the plague ravaging 14th-century Eastern Europe. A family of vampires has taken over the quiet stretch between the Carpathian Mountains that you call home, and they've made you one of their gifted thralls. Now it's up to you, a peasant given the powers of the blood-draining undead, to save your family, and perhaps the valley itself. At a preview event in Los Angeles, California, I got an early hands-off look at Blood of the

Why Did a $10 Billion Startup Let Me Vibe-Code for Them—and Why Did I Love It?

Sitting a few feet away was Simon Last, one of Notion’s three cofounders. He is gangly and shy, an engineer who has relinquished management responsibilities to focus on being a “super IC”—an individual contributor. He stood to shake my hand, and I awkwardly thanked him for letting me vibe-code. Simon returned to his laptop, where he was monitoring an AI as it coded for him. Later, he would tell me that using AI coding apps was like managing a bunch of interns. Since 2022, the Notion app has had

Apple Watch’s restored blood oxygen tracking attracts another lawsuit

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Medical tech company Masimo is suing US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in an attempt to overturn the agency’s decision to allow Apple to restore the blood oxygen tracking feature on Apple Watches. Apple has been embroiled in legal disputes over Masimo’s blood oxygen sensor patent since 2020, disabling the feature on supported US Apple Watch models following an ITC import ban in December 2023.

The Illumos Cafe: Another Cozy Corner for OS Diversity

Introducing the illumos Cafe: Another Cozy Corner for OS Diversity From the BSD Cafe to illumos Cafe The idea for this new project was born from the success of the BSD Cafe, an initiative I introduced to the world in July 2023, which received an incredibly positive response. Far more than I ever anticipated. The BSD community already had its well-established hubs: in the Fediverse, places like bsd.network, exquisite.social, and others were already thriving, not to mention all the forums, chann

Vibe coding creates a bus factor of zero

All the opinions expressed in this article and on this website are entirely my own and do not represent my employer in any way. Ever heard about the “Bus factor”? It is a concept that measures the risk of losing all knowledge about a particular thing – a software development project for example – by estimating how many team members could get crushed by a bus before nobody knows how to work on the project anymore. As an example, if 3 people on your team know how to restore a backup of your datab

Code review can be better

Slightly unusual genre today: a negative result about our git-review tool for a different take on code review process, which we decided to shelve, at least for the time being.

While I also see interdiff as valuable, it’s not the reason why I decided to experiment with git-review . I have two other problems with GitHub, and with

Guillermo del Toro Explains Why His Frankenstein’s Monster Looks So Unique

Clearly, we’re all very, very excited about Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, which is coming to theaters on October 17 before arriving on Netflix on November 7. That’s because it’s del Toro, one of our most beloved filmmakers; his cast is incredible; and there has rarely been a better pairing of filmmaker and subject matter. One other thing has us hyped up too, and that’s Frankenstein’s monster. Del Toro loves a monster and, in a new interview, he talks about how he approached his monster diff
