Trump Mobile drops its 'made in the USA' claims

The Trump Organization announced a cellular brand earlier this summer, and its main selling point for Trump Mobile was that its T1 smartphone was "made in the USA."

Instead, there is broader language such as "designed with American values in mind" and "Premium Performance. Proudly American." The Verge also noticed that

I built an app to backup Live Photos from iPhone to external hard drives

I noticed so many iPhone users are dealing with the same storage nightmare.

Google’s new AI will help researchers understand how our genes work

“We haven’t designed or validated AlphaGenome for personal genome prediction, a known challenge for AI models,” Google said in a statement. Underlying the AI system is the so-called transformer architecture invented at Google that also powers large language models like GPT-4. This one was trained on troves of experimental data produced by public scientific projects. Lareau says the system will not broadly change how his lab works day to day but could permit new types of research. For instance,
