After all the Pixel battery issues, I don’t think I can keep recommending Google’s phones

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I love a good Pixel. I’ve owned several, defended them in heated group chats, and even converted a few friends to the cause. But lately? I’m hesitating — hard. The elephant in the room, if you haven’t noticed, is batteries. Not in the “oh, it doesn’t last a full day” sense — we’re talking swelling, melting, and potentially exploding. The kind of hardware horror that once tanked a Samsung generation is now infesting Google’s own backyard. If you’ve missed the s

Bose’s New Bluetooth Speaker Looks Like a Solid Way to Annoy Everybody at the Beach

Bose’s SoundLink Plus is a midrange Bluetooth speaker that is very clearly designed for outdoor excursions since it can float and has an IP67 rating that makes it damn near waterproof and dustproof.

This AI Writing Detector Shows Its Work. For Me, It's a Step in the Right Direction

This article was written by an actual, flesh-and-blood human -- me -- but an increasing amount of the text and video content you come across online is not. It's coming from generative AI tools, which have gotten pretty good at creating realistic-sounding text and natural-looking video. So, how do you sort out the human-made from the robotic? The answer is more complicated than that urban legend about the overuse of em-dashes would have you believe. Lots of people write with an (over)abundance o

Apple is salvaging Image Playground with a boost from ChatGPT

When Apple unveiled Image Playground last year, the company touted it as a quick and easy way to generate personalized, original images with the help of Apple Intelligence. Upon launch, the app was met with skepticism, as some users were disappointed by its limitations and low-quality results. For example, one Reddit user was surprised to find that Image Playground kept generating an image of a hand with six fingers when prompted to create an “up close image of a hand.” In another instance, a u

Why uranium mining is having a resurgence in the United States

From about the 1960s to the mid-1980s, the United States was a leader in uranium mining. But domestic production of the mineral, which is primarily used as fuel for nuclear reactors, has since fallen off a cliff. "A lot of this was because it was a government priority. And we strategically used government funding and subsidies to support it. However, what kind of started happening during the 90s is we saw a de-prioritization away from uranium," said Gracelin Baskaran, director of the Critical M
