YouTube May Finally Offer a Cheaper Way to Get Rid of Ads

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-06-04 15:30:08

Folk who want to watch their multi-hour-long YouTube documentaries without an ad break every few minutes may finally have a cheaper way to do it. The Alphabet-owned streaming service has long been testing a cheaper ad-less subscription tier called YouTube Premium Lite. If the latest reports can be believed, it may come to fruition in 2025, though it probably won’t offer all the perks of the $14-a-month Premium subscription. The last time we heard about Premium Lite was in October last year. You

Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT Are Coming to the Vision Pro

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-06-04 18:08:42

Did you think the one missing feature on Vision Pro was the ability to create AI-generated emojis to text to friends? On Friday, Apple declared its planning to launch the first few Apple Intelligence features on its $3,500 Vision Pro. While the features are well-known if you’ve used a Mac in the last six months, they may indicate Apple’s MR headset may also receive the cross-app AI-ified Siri whenever that finally becomes a reality.

The Next iPad Needs an iPhone 16E Moment. But Will Its Cost Go Up, Too?

cnet.com Scott Stein 2025-06-04 14:00:00

Apple gave us a February surprise this year, launching a new entry-level iPhone ahead of schedule. The iPhone 16E is full of most of the things people want in an iPhone, plus hosts many features of the iPhone 16. But, while it's entry-level, it's not low-cost. As I wait for a new iPad to replace Apple's 10th-gen iPad base model, likely coming in the next month or so, I'm encouraged and concerned that Apple will follow a similar path as the 16E. Actually, it seems inevitable. But maybe I'm wrong.

Nissan’s latest desperate gamble—see if Tesla will buy the company

Senior politicians in Japan are not going to let Nissan die easily. The automaker has been struggling for some time now, with an outdated product portfolio, ongoing quarterly losses, and soon, the closure of factories and thousands of layoffs. The Japanese government has been trying to find a suitor and had hoped that Honda would do its patriotic duty and save its rival from extinction.

Google’s cheaper YouTube Premium Lite subscription will drop Music

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-06-04 17:45:11

YouTube dominates online video, but it's absolutely crammed full of ads these days. A YouTube Premium subscription takes care of that, but ad blockers do exist. Google seems to have gotten the message—a cheaper streaming subscription is on the way that drops YouTube Music from the plan. You may have to give up more than music to get the cheaper rate, though. Google started testing cheaper YouTube subscriptions in a few international markets, including Germany and Australia, over the past year.

Game Developers Fear Anti-Trans Measures Could Hit Their Industry Next

Ashley Poprik has never been the model for a video game character. As a writer on projects like Spider-Man 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, they work on games, not as characters within them. In 2023, however, a cabal of angry gamers was convinced otherwise. They were furious over how Spider-Man 2’s Mary Jane looked; more specifically, they complained, she simply wasn’t hot enough.

The real reason why oil and gas companies are bullish on carbon capture

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-06-04 17:41:46

Two years ago, oil and gas company Occidental bought carbon capture startup Carbon Engineering. The transaction was hailed as a win-win: A climate tech company scored a significant exit, and a fossil fuel company gained a foothold in a sector that could be worth up to $150 billion by 2050. Now we have a better idea why Occidental was keen to pick up the pricey technology: They want to use it to pump more oil. Previously, the company had said it would use the technology to zero out its climate

Whether they'll ever be replaced remains as dubious as ever; both president Donald Trump and SpaceX-CEO-slash-unelected-White-House-hatchet-man Elon Musk have argued that going to Mars should take priority.
