Bluetooth pairing sucks on most Google TV devices, but Google wants to change that

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s Fast Pair, meant to simplify Bluetooth pairing, is still not widely available on Google TV devices a year after its initial rollout. Despite a prior announcement suggesting a broad release, the feature is currently only supported on four devices, including the Chromecast models. Device makers must choose to enable Fast Pair on their TVs, and Google says it’s working with partners to bring the feature to more devices. Pairing a new Bluetooth acc

N8n vs. node-red, which to use for AI workloads

n8n vs node-red Daniel Payne 3 min read · 1 day ago 1 day ago -- Listen Share Which to use Photo by Stackie Jia on Unsplash TLDR Try both, but my personal opinion is: n8n if you are using public cloud services for your data. But you will need to use something else if you want to visualize your information, e.g. ObservableHQ. node-red if you are using private sources, especially file based data or sensor data. But you will need to use something else for AI intensive workloads, e.g. FlowiseA

An Engineer’s Diary Reveals the Human Cost of Building OpenAI’s Next Big Thing

Behind the seemingly magical abilities of OpenAI’s technology lies a story of intense human effort and immense personal sacrifice. In a candid reflection posted on July 15, former top engineer Calvin French-Owen peeled back the curtain on the company’s high stakes culture. He detailed a product launch that was “unquestionably one of the highlights of my career” but also the “hardest I’ve worked in nearly a decade.” French-Owen is a seasoned tech leader who cofounded the successful data company

Delta Set to Expand AI-Powered Dynamic Ticket Pricing by the End of 2025

Last year, Delta Air Lines announced it was testing out dynamic pricing on some flights using tools built by the tech company Fetcherr. And while the test was initially limited, executives from the company announced that 3% of flights now use AI pricing, and they hope to sell 20% of all tickets using a dynamic price by the end of the year. Edward H. Bastian, the CEO of Delta, explained the strategy on an investors call last week, noting that it was “optimizing revenue through [its] partnership

Slack says its AI can make sense of your company’s jargon

Slack is using AI to help business users quickly understand confusing company language and concentrate on their most important tasks. The communication platform announced that it will “soon” be adding a feature that explains workplace jargon, and an AI writing assistant for Slack canvases that automates repetitive writing tasks like summarizing conversations and note-taking. The AI message context feature will instantly explain messages that contain an acronym or unfamiliar phrase when the user

Lovable becomes a unicorn with $200M Series A just 8 months after launch

Fast-growing Swedish AI vibe coding startup Lovable has become Europe’s latest unicorn. Only eight months since its launch, the startup has raised a $200 million Series A round led by Accel at a $1.8 billion valuation. Like Cursor and other platforms that help developers write code and build apps by harnessing the coding and reasoning abilities of large language models, Stockholm-based Lovable helps people use natural language to create websites and apps. The startup’s trajectory so far has cha

Roblox launches new age verification system to unlock unfiltered chats

Users over 13 years old will be prompted to use the facial-analysis software to estimate their age and determine whether they can access the new "trusted connections" feature that allows them to engage in private, unfiltered chats with other age-screened users, Ebanks said. Roblox's use of age-estimation tech will help the company "confirm the age of our users and give them more tailored and age-appropriate features," said Ryan Ebanks, a Roblox principal product manager for social products.

Millions Of Americans Are Being Advised Not To Go Outside

In the wake of massive wildfires in Canada's Manitoba province, people thousands of miles away are being warned to stay indoors thanks to the noxious ash and smoke that's traveling on the wind to their homes. As flagged by Newsweek, people who live in eight American states (and four Canadian provinces) are now under air pollution warning — and as an air quality map shows, the regions impacted have tens of millions of residents. According to AirNow — which publishes a real-time, color-coded air

In defense of air-conditioning

We should all be aware of the growing electricity toll of air-conditioning, but the AC hate is misplaced. Yes, AC is energy intensive, but so is heating our homes, something that’s rarely decried in the same way that cooling is. Both are tools for comfort and, more important, for safety. So why is air-conditioning cast as such a villain? In the last days of June and the first few days of July, temperatures hit record highs across Europe. Over 2,300 deaths during that period were attributed to t

I tried going self-hosted but Google Drive is just too convenient

Karandeep Singh / Android Authority A network-attached storage (NAS) is supposed to give you an alternative to cloud storage — one that’s safer, more private, and free from monthly subscriptions. A lot of home users may still consider those strange black boxes nerd territory, but Synology wanted to make the transition easier for Google Drive users. Its own alternative, deceptively named Synology Drive, is made to offer Google Drive-like storage. While it sounds compelling in theory and is genu

I tested a new browser that makes Chrome feel outdated

Karandeep Singh / Android Authority AI is embedding itself into every nook of our digital lives faster than Elon Musk can type his next obnoxious tweet. First, it was an app that could talk to you in a natural voice. Then it spread to everyday voice assistants. And now, it’s coming — strong-armed — for our main work app: web browsers. Google is pushing hard to make Gemini a core part of Chrome. The makers of Arc have already moved on to an AI-first browser. OpenAI is rumored to be working on i

Don’t be duped: Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile’s cheapest plans aren’t worth it

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Recently, my cousin asked me whether Verizon’s myPlan Unlimited Welcome was better than his legacy plan, prompted by a promotional email he received. At first glance, the new plan looked cheaper and similar in features. But upon closer examination, his legacy plan had notable advantages, especially higher-priority data and a few other perks. Truthfully, none of the entry-level postpaid plans from Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T offer great value in 2025. There ar

Is HR ready for AI?

sefa ozel/Getty Images A report from technology analyst firm Valoir has found that most companies are either already leveraging AI for HR activities, such as recruiting, learning, and talent management, or they plan to do so within the next 24 months. However, there's a significant gap in terms of policies, practices, and training for safe and effective AI adoption. Only 34% of organizations have a policy on generative AI (gen AI), and even fewer offer effective training. Also: 5 entry-level

A Top Engineer Reveals OpenAI’s Culture of Secrets and Chaos

Calvin French-Owen only worked at OpenAI for a year, but he saw more in twelve months than most engineers do in a lifetime. As a successful founder turned employee, he joined the world’s leading artificial intelligence company in May 2024 and left in June 2025. What he walked into was not a typical corporate tech job. It was a startup strapped to a rocket ship, powered by GPUs, Slack notifications, and a culture of secrecy that makes Apple look like an open book. “The first thing to know about

The New Intern on Wall Street Is an AI, and It’s Already Taking Jobs

The transformation underway in finance should give pause to anyone who still thinks artificial intelligence is a distant threat. On July 15, Wall Street met its most overqualified and tireless intern. AI safety and research company Anthropic, a chief rival to OpenAI, unveiled its new “Financial Analysis Solution,” an enhanced version of its Claude AI assistant designed to take over the research, modeling, and compliance grunt work that finance teams typically rely on junior analysts to perform.

Is Apple's AirDrop Not Working for You? Here's How to Fix It

AirDrop has always been a quick and convenient way to transfer files between Apple's devices. You can use it to easily share photos, documents, videos, audio recordings, contact cards, web links, notes and other data between iPads, iPhones and Macs.

AI-generated music is going viral. Should the music industry be worried?
