Google Adds Button to Generate Error-Laden AI Podcast About Your Search Results Instead of Just Reading Them Like a Functioning Member of Society

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-02 06:31:42

Google has released a baffling new AI feature that turns your web search into a podcast. Why anybody would want to enable the feature is unclear. Why be plagued by misleading and hallucinated AI Overviews search results when you can have a robotic voice read them out loud instead? Have we really lost the ability as a species to parse written information, nevermind original sources?

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR WhatsApp is testing ads in the Status section of the Updates tab. New paid subscriptions and promoted Channels are also rolling out. Private messages remain untouched and end-to-end encrypted. Ads have crept into every corner of Meta’s ecosystem. Facebook, Instagram, and Reels are filled with them. For years, WhatsApp stood apart as the company’s only major platform without advertising. Now, that’s changing: ads are coming to WhatsApp, too. Meta reve

With iOS 26, Apple is solving one of the biggest passkey headaches

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-29 09:20:14

Apple’s next round of OS updates will introduce a long-overdue feature for anyone trying to live in a world without passwords: a seamless, secure way to export and import passkeys across platforms and apps. Here’s how it’s going to work. As noted by Ars Technica’s Dan Goodin (via SixColors), the new capability, which Apple demonstrated during WWDC25, addresses one of the biggest pain points with passkeys to date. Until now, passkeys created on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad were largely trapped inside

iOS 26: Messages will let you copy just part of a text message

Here’s a small but long-awaited quality-of-life update coming to Messages in iOS 26: you’ll finally be able to copy just part of a message, instead of the entire thing. A small but long-overdue improvement Until now, copying text in iMessage on iPhone meant grabbing the entire message bubble. There was no way to highlight or extract just a specific section, like you can on the Mac. Of course, there were workarounds.

WhatsApp introduces ads in its app

When Facebook bought WhatsApp for $19 billion in 2014, the messaging app had a clear focus. No ads, no games and no gimmicks. For years, that is what WhatsApp’s two billion users — many of them in Brazil, India and other countries around the world — got. They chatted with friends and family unencumbered by advertising and other features found on social media. Now that is set to change.

The Future of ‘Star Wars’ May Not Be as Connected as We Expect

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-02 08:30:04

One of the best, and worst, things about Star Wars in recent years is just how connected everything has been. It meant characters who may have at first seemed tangential, like Cassian Andor in Rogue One, could be greatly expanded in something like Andor. It also meant audiences who had never watched an animated show like Clone Wars or Rebels might be left confused with the stories in something like Ahsoka. In those cases and others, there always seemed to be some kind of guardrails on what was p

After cleaning the panel and fixing most keyswitches, the original poster noted that actually running it would require "1,500lbs of mainframe"—the rest of the computer system that's missing.

PlayStation doubles down on slow, "thoughtful" PC porting strategy

In a nutshell: Sony's PC porting strategy has been clear from the start. It is in no rush to follow Xbox's multiplatform strategy. It wants to preserve the value of the PlayStation 5 by making sure high-end exclusives like Spider-Man and God of War remain showcases for the console first – and only reach PC when the timing feels right.
