Aqua Voice shows just how good Mac dictation could be if Apple really tried

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-21 14:46:46

I’m a big fan of dictation and voice commands. The latter are the most common way for me to control my smart home, and I dictate a lot of my messages and other short pieces of text. Apple’s built-in dictation features have certainly improved over the years, but trying out the third-party app Aqua Voice shows just how much better it could be if Apple really tried. Indeed, I actually wrote the entirety of this piece using Aqua Voice dictation … Perhaps it’s the fact that I work from home, or jus

Why on Earth would NASA build a nuclear reactor on the Moon?

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-21 16:37:42

"Duffy to announce nuclear reactor on the moon" is not a headline I imagined reading before last week. Sure, as a sci-fi loving nerd, I could see a future where nuclear power played a role in permanent Moon settlements. But the idea of NASA building a 100-kilowatt microreactor there in the next five years seemed ridiculous. Not so, according to scientists. "I have no idea why this is getting so much play," Professor Bhavya Lal tells me over the phone, with a hint of exasperation in her voice. L

Government's Intel intervention is 'essential' for national security, tech analyst says

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2025-11-21 21:43:39

A government intervention in struggling chipmaker Intel is "essential" for the sake of national security, analyst Gil Luria said Friday, following a report that the Trump administration is weighing taking a stake in the company. "We're all capitalists," Luria, head of technology research at D.A. Davidson, said in an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box." "We don't want government to intervene and own private enterprise, but this is national security." Bloomberg reported Thursday that the Trump ad

The 13 Foods That Could Save Your Kidneys and Your Wallet

Your kidneys work quietly in the background every day, doing far more than most people realize. They filter waste from your blood, keep fluid levels balanced, help regulate hormones and play a role in everything from managing blood pressure to supporting healthy energy levels. Despite being so important, kidney health often does not get the attention it deserves. According to the CDC, more than 1 in 7 adults in the US are living with chronic kidney disease, and many are unaware they have it. Th

Acura's next RSX crossover has broken cover. The automaker has used this year's Monterey Car Week as a stage to show off a bright yellow prototype—the color is called Propulsion Yellow Pearl—ahead of the production car going on sale next year. And unlike the current generation (which Ars last tested back in 2019) RDX, this crossover will be fully electric. It will be built at the Honda Marysville Auto Plant that we checked out back in January. The 40-year old factory has been given a high-tech

For Legends: Z-A’s battle system, I rewired the Pokémon part of my brain

Even if you’ve never played a Pokémon game before, you can probably figure out how the type chart works. Fire types are weak to water types, water is weak to grass, and grass is weak to fire. Type matchups are foundational to Pokémon battles, far before you get into the weeds of stats and strats. I’ve had the Pokémon type chart memorized for around 25 years. That still didn’t stop me from making a rookie error in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. I panicked and sent out my Weedle against an NPC’s Pidgeotto

The Morning After: Insta360’s first drone is unlike anything else

The Insta360 Antigravity A1 is a new 360-degree FPV drone from a spin-off brand called Antigravity. The A1 includes a drone, OLED Vision goggles and a Grip motion controller — it’s more of a set. The drone has two ultrawide cameras that can capture 8K video, and it uses stitching algorithms to make the drone invisible in the final footage.

I love my grill, but standing over blazing flames in 90-degree weather isn't my idea of summer fun.
