Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Google on Wednesday introduced its new Pixel 10 lineup during an event in New York – complete with a very strange keynote. In case you missed it, there are a lot of similarities across the latest Pixel models — and some key additions — including the MagSafe-style Pixelsnap, Google’s new Tensor G5 chip, and a proactive AI feature known as Magic Cue.

2025 is turning into a good year for long-awaited games

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-11-11 23:30:00

It actually happened: Silksong, the standalone sequel to Hollow Knight, has a release date. After seven years in development, and almost as many shrouded in silence, the game is coming out on September 4th. It’s welcome news for the millions of Hollow Knight fans who have been impatiently waiting. But it’s also part of a welcome trend: 2025 is shaping up to be the year that several long in-development games finally see the light of day. While both Routine and Metroid Prime 4 seem to have suffer

Microsoft AI chief says it’s ‘dangerous’ to study AI consciousness

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-11-11 23:52:53

AI models can respond to text, audio, and video in ways that sometimes fool people into thinking a human is behind the keyboard, but that doesn’t exactly make them conscious. It’s not like ChatGPT experiences sadness doing my tax return… right? Well, a growing number of AI researchers at labs like Anthropic are asking when — if ever — might AI models develop subjective experiences similar to living beings, and if they do, what rights should they have?

AirPods aren’t just the best headphones. AirPods can also act like an AirTag, which happened to a North Carolina family traveling internationally when a pickpocketer stole the bag containing their passport and ID. AirPods help track stolen purse in Italy Karis McElroy shared the story on TikTok: Her mother and stepfather were visiting Venice, Italy, when three people crowded around them on the street.

Unmasking the Privacy Risks of Apple Intelligence

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-12 03:36:51

Executive Summary Lumia’s Research Team revealed that messages dictated via Siri, including WhatsApp and iMessage are not sent to the Private Cloud Compute. In fact, there is no assurance as to what Apple does with these messages. Siri transmits metadata about installed and active apps without the user’s ability to control these privacy settings. Audio playback metadata such as ‘recording names’, is sent without consent. No user control or visibility exists over these background data flows.

ChatGPT-5 Lets You Choose Your AI Model. These Are Your Options

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-11 18:15:02

The biggest pushback after OpenAI announced its new GPT-5 model for ChatGPT came from devotees of older models who felt the new generative AI chatbot lacked the panache of its predecessors. Now you have more choices of pre-GPT-5 models (although you'll have to hunt for some of them) and better control over which components of GPT-5 handle your questions. OpenAI is still sorting through a somewhat rocky launch of GPT-5, led by complaints about the lack of model choices. The model has been antic

Instagram now lets creators link multiple reels in a series

The new capability, which is already available on TikTok, makes it easier for viewers to follow and discover related content. Now if a creator is telling a story in a series of videos and follow-ups, they can link them all together so that viewers don’t have to scroll or search for different parts.

Today’s big Made by Google event for the Pixel 10 was… something, but if nothing else, it showed a Google that was confident in the product it was bringing to the table.

Google’s Pixel Buds 2a Have One Thing Apple Would Never Give Us on AirPods

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-12 09:49:57

Wireless earbuds are better now than they’ve ever been. Trust me, I’ve tried a lot of them. They sound better; they look better; they have impressive noise cancelling, and in the grand scheme of things, they’re pretty affordable. That being said, there is one thing they’re sorely lacking, and that’s modularity and repairability. As solid as Apple’s AirPods are, when the battery goes, so too does the whole pair of wireless earbuds. That sucks, to say the least. This sad fact about most wireless

While overall sales to African countries are still small compared to these traditional export markets, the Global South appears to be at a turning point in how it thinks about energy. For decades, energy-starved countries largely had one default option when they wanted to add new power supply: import coal and gas.

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.
