Live Translation coming to AirPods soon, per iOS 26 leak Last week, my colleague Marcus Mendes found an image in the iOS 26 beta that revealed a new AirPods feature coming soon: Live Translation.

Attention Is the New Big-O: A Systems Design Approach to Prompt Engineering

Instead, it weights relationships between all tokens at once, with position and clustering dramatically changing what gets noticed. In working with an LLM the structure you choose can have a greater impact on your results than the precise words you ch

Months After Switch 2 Launch, Most Controllers Still Lack This Vital Feature

Switch 2 gamers who come home bone tired after a long day of drudgery will collapse on the couch and want to take their mind off life’s worst entanglements with a few hours of gaming. These working stiffs necessarily have to reach for the now more expensive first-party controller first if they don’t want to get up and hit the Switch 2 power button. All but a paltry few third-party devices can remotely wake the console from sleep. Peripheral maker Gulikit is currently the only third-party brand w

Apple Won't Have to Provide an Encryption Backdoor in the UK, Says US Official

Apple reportedly ups iPhone production in India as country's Russia ties roil White House

Apple has reportedly boosted iPhone production in India as the country faces pressure from the White House over its Russian oil purchases. "We have planned to up the tariffs on India," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday. "These are secondary tariffs for buying the sanctioned Russian oil." Bessent accused India of "profiteering" by purchasing cheap Russian oil and reselling it during the Ukraine war, "which is unacceptable." Earlier this month, President Donal

Horror Story Looms as Children Get Stuffed Animals Powered by AI

From Steven Spielberg's creepy "AI" (2001) to M3GAN (2022), toys imbued with artificial intelligence have been a source of fascination and terror in pop culture for decades. Now, in the face of all those cautionary tales, a new class of vaguely menacing chatty toys are being sold online — but unlike the "Gremlin"-esque Furbies of yore, these are powered by cutting-edge AI, and their danger quotient lies in what they may tell children or share with outside companies. As the New York Times repor

What iPad mini & iPadOS 26 can teach us about the future of iOS

The moment Apple announced iPadOS 26 at WWDC, I rushed to install the developer beta on my M4 iPad Pro. And for the first time in years, it felt like Apple was finally putting iPad users first. We got features we’ve been asking for since iPadOS split from iOS: a fresh new look, Mac-like windowing, a smarter Files app, and more. But what surprised me wasn’t the iPad Pro experience. It was just how many iPads supported all of these features, including the iPad mini. After installing iPadOS 26 on

Nebraska man gets 1 year in prison for $3.5M cryptojacking scheme

A Nebraska man was sentenced to one year in prison for defrauding cloud computing providers of over $3.5 million to mine cryptocurrency worth nearly $1 million. Charles O. Parks III (also known as "CP3O") was arrested and charged in April with wire fraud, money laundering, and engaging in unlawful monetary transactions. He was facing up to 20 years in prison in December after admitting that he didn't pay a $3.5 million bill after renting cloud computing time from two providers for his cryptojac

PlayStation Plus Subscribers Can Play Marvel's Spider-Man and More Now

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can, and PlayStation Plus subscribers can now become the famous web-slinger in Marvel's Spider-Man. PlayStation Plus is Sony's version of Xbox Game Pass, and it offers subscribers a large and constantly expanding library of games.

Spotify’s new track mixing tool adds DJ features to your playlists

Spotify is testing a new audio mixing feature that allows you to customize track transitions for your playlists. Now rolling out in beta for “eligible Premium users,” the Mix feature provides an option to automatically blend transitions between tracks, or manually adjust aspects like volume, EQ, and effect curves while looking at waveform and beat data to create unique transitions. This allows users to make songs flow into each other instead of just letting one track abruptly finish and another

TikTok’s latest feature lets college students find and connect with classmates

In a move reminiscent of Facebook’s early days, TikTok is launching a new feature that allows college students to find and connect with others on their campus. The feature, called Campus Verification, lets users add their college campus to their TikTok profile and browse through a list of students at their school. To access the feature, users need to navigate to their profile and tap the “Add school” button. From there, they need to enter their school name and then select their graduation year.

Pick up Apple's AirPods Pro 2 while they're down to $169

They might be nearly three years old at this point, but Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro remain some of the most popular wireless earbuds around for a reason, and right now they’re down to $169 on Amazon. That’s a not-insignificant 32 percent off the usual $249 price of the noise-canceling in-ears. Apple’s flagship AirPods were $100 off — a record-low $149 — during Prime Day, so we have seen them even cheaper than this, but for a non-sale period, Amazon’s current deal is worth considering.

Samsung’s New ‘Fan Edition’ Earbuds Beat the Pricier Buds 3 Pro in One Key Way

After some major leaks earlier this month, Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 FE are finally here, and on paper, they look like a pretty good deal. While the “FE” moniker, short for Fan Edition, often signifies a lower price point in exchange for some compromises on features, the new Galaxy Buds 3 FE actually beats Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in a couple of key areas, and one of those battlegrounds is battery life. See Galaxy Buds3 FE at Samsung.com According to Samsung, the $150 Buds 3 FE offer 6 hours

How to Use Snprintf

The sprintf family of functions ( sprintf , snprintf , vsnprintf , …) have this little-known feature to what size your buffer should be. In cases where you don’t have a fixed upper bound, this is really useful. For example: int size = snprintf ( /*str=*/ NULL , /*size=*/ 0 , "%d: %s" , some_int , some_c_str ); if ( size < 0 ) abort (); int size_with_nul = size + 1 ; char * buf = malloc ( size_with_nul ); if ( buf == NULL ) abort (); int result = snprintf ( /*str=*/ buf , /*size=*/ size_with_nu

The new feature can be accessed through a plus icon to the right of Top Stories panels or a direct link to your preferences. "Once you select your sources, they will appear mo

Pixel 10 Pro XL benchmark leaks are making people mad

TL;DR A Redditor has posted images showing benchmark scores for an apparent Pixel 10 Pro XL versus the Pixel 9 Pro XL. The scores suggest that the Tensor G5 CPU won’t catch up to Snapdragon 8 Elite phones. One result also strongly suggests that the Pixel 10 series could have an inferior GPU to last year’s Pixels. Google will reveal its Pixel 10 phones tomorrow (August 20), and we expect all of them to be powered by the Tensor G5 processor. This is a landmark chip for the company, as it’s the
