ChatGPT's Voice Feature Makes It Feel More Human Than Ever

After years of dealing with voice assistants that constantly misheard me or cut me off mid-sentence, I didn't expect much when I tapped the little wavelength icon to try ChatGPT's Voice Mode. I figured it would be another feature that sounded cool but fell flat in real use. But this one surprised me. Voice Mode doesn't just spit out answers. It actually feels like a real conversation. It picks up on pauses, mumbled thoughts, and even those filler words like "uhhh" without breaking the flow. Whe

Mocked Trump Mobile yanks coverage map that ignored Trump renaming Gulf of Mexico

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-13 15:35:47

The Trump Organization's rollout of Trump Mobile on Monday—a new wireless service using Trump's image to sell smartphones—was notably messy. Not only did the website reportedly glitch while processing preorders (more on that below), but soon after its launch, at least one glaring mistake on the website had to be quickly changed. Critics on social media were quick to point out that the Trump Mobile coverage map used the Gulf of Mexico instead of using Trump's controversial new name for the body

Summary: Hamburger menus are a more familiar pattern today than 10 years ago, but the same old best practices for hidden navigation still apply. Few icons in digital design have sparked as much debate over the last decade as the hamburger. The hamburger menu — which earned its nickname because of its abstract, stacked, hamburger-like appearance — was originally embraced as a clever way to save space on small screens by hiding the main navigation behind a single button.

Ethan Hunt Doesn’t Die in the New ‘Mission Impossible,’ But They Considered It

When the eighth Mission: Impossible film changed its title to “The Final Reckoning,” we all had the same thought: Tom Cruise’s character, Ethan Hunt, was going to die. It would have been the most obvious way to add some real finality to the franchise, but we now know that doesn’t happen. Instead, Ethan lives, as does his sworn enemy, the Entity.
