New Gemini features will give the chatbot a better memory, but also selective amnesia

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-27 03:03:33

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini will be able to reference past conversations without requiring you to save them individually. A new Temporary Chats feature will let you keep certain conversations out of the chatbot’s memory and training data. The features are aimed at providing more personalization, as well as privacy for certain chats. Gemini is a powerful AI assistant, but you usually have to remember to save certain chats if you want to reference them later. However, thanks to

LG B5 OLED Review: Subtle Luxury

wired.com Ryan Waniata 2025-11-27 08:03:00

The LG B5 is a lovely TV that you probably shouldn’t buy—at least not yet. As usual, the B-series is among the cheapest ways to get an LG OLED and its perfect black levels, rich contrast, and naturalistic colors that enhance everything you watch. Also as usual, it’s the step-up C-series that generally offers the best overall value for your OLED dollars. That includes last year’s C4 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) on sale, and even the upgraded C5 if you time it right. In fact, as I write this review,

A new Apple TV 4K is coming soon: will it support Apple Intelligence?

A hardware refresh for the Apple TV 4K set-top box is coming soon. The current generation was released in spring 2022, and is powered by an A15 Bionic chip. The new generation is expected to feature a new Apple-designed WiFi and Bluetooth chip, as well as a CPU upgrade. A report from MacRumors today cites code references that indicate the box will actually get an A17 Pro chip, the same processor that powers the iPhone 15 Pro.

Funding Open Source like public infrastructure

To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution. Fifteen years ago, I laid out a theory about the future of Open Source. In The Commercialization of a Volunteer-Driven Open Source Project, I argued that if Open Source was going to thrive, people had to get paid to work on it. At the time, the idea was controversial.
