After months of teasers and brief betas, Google has made it official: Gemini AI is replacing Google Assistant on all Nest and Google Home-related devices this year, officially called Gemini for Home. This version of Gemini starts rolling out in October with the same familiar "Hey Google" phrase but a whole new approach to voice commands. It's not only the death knell for Google Assistant in basically everything (I'm going to have to delete Assistant from the rest of my guides), but also a chanc
Earlier this year, MIT Technology Review published a comprehensive series on AI and energy, at which time none of the major AI companies would reveal their per-prompt energy usage. Google’s new publication, at last, allows for a peek behind the curtain that researchers and analysts have long hoped for. The study focuses on a broad look at energy demand, including not only the power used by the AI chips that run models but also by all the other infrastructure needed to support that hardware. “W
The most annoying thing about X is, well, X – but the company has at least fixed an app behavior many of us found frustrating. Just 18 years after users started complaining about it, X’s head of product said that a fix is now rolling out … That irritation? You’ve just started reading something at the top of your feed, and then the feed spontaneously reloads and it is lost forever. Entrepreneur and investor Jesse Pujji repeated the complaint a few days ago, and product lead Nikita Bier says it
If you’ve been shocked by how much you spend on streaming services lately, you’re not alone. Companies like Netflix, Disney, Max and others have been consistently raising prices to the point where you may question if streaming is even worth it anymore. We at Engadget still think it is, but we also think you should be smart with your money — and that’s where streaming deals come in. Yes, it is possible to get discounts on services like Peacock and Paramount+, even if those deals aren’t as common
There are dozens of VPNs to choose from, but to think they're all created equally would be a mistake. Some are better than others, and NordVPN sits squarely in the better category. Now, you can save up to 77 percent on most of NordVPN's plans. Arguably the best plan for most people is the NordVPN Plus plan, which you can get two years of access for only $108 right now. That's 73 percent off the usual rate, and NordVPN throws in an addition three months for free, so you're actually getting a 27-m

Cloud services giant Fastly has released a report claiming AI crawlers are putting a heavy load on the open web, slurping up sites at a rate that accounts for 80 percent of all AI bot traffic, with the remaining 20 percent used by AI fetchers. Bots and fetchers can hit websites hard, demanding data from a single site in thousands of requests per minute. I can only see one thing causing this to stop: the AI bubble popping According to the report [PDF], Facebook owner Meta's AI division accounts

Nvidia is among a group of new investors to back Nuro — which develops self-driving software for delivery and ride-hailing services — in a funding round that has reached $203 million. The Silicon Valley startup announced Thursday that several investors, including existing backer Baillie Gifford, added another $97 million to its Series E round. New investors include Icehouse Ventures, Kindred Ventures, Nvidia, and Pledge Ventures. Uber, which last month said it would make a “multi-hundred-millio
The U.K. government is facing a legal challenge from campaigners over its decision to override a local authority and wave through development of a new "hyperscale" data center. Last year, the local authority of Buckinghamshire, England, denied planning permission for proposals to build a new 90-megawatt data center on green belt land. The green belt is a term in British town planning that refers to an area of open land on which building is restricted. Data centers, large facilities that house

So, yesterday, Google launched the Pixel 10 series. While the phones are intriguing if not spectacular, it’s the livestreamed event that remained seared into my brain when I woke up this morning.

Imagine the typical everyday scenario in which you have been imprisoned in the wine cellar of an evil combinatorialist. She promises to let you go, but only if you can solve her riddle. “Is it the one where there are 1000 barrels of wine and one of them is poisoned?” “Uh, maybe? Do you already know the answer to that one?” “…” You’re lead past a conspicuous amount of barrels and into a new room where you’re given a bottle of wine and four measuring devices. The combinatorialist explains that t

Stock market volatility was largely prompted by a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which claimed that 95pc of companies were getting “zero return” on their AI investments. A Meta spokesman sought to downplay the freeze, saying: “All that’s happening here is some basic organisational planning: creating a solid structure for our new superintelligence efforts after bringing people on board and undertaking yearly budgeting and planning exercises.” It comes after the company h

DiffMem: Git-Based Differential Memory for AI Agents DiffMem is a lightweight, git-based memory backend designed for AI agents and conversational systems. It uses Markdown files for human-readable storage, Git for tracking temporal evolution through differentials, and an in-memory BM25 index for fast, explainable retrieval. This project is a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploring how version control systems can serve as a foundation for efficient, scalable memory in AI applications. At its core, Dif
OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman told reporters that GPT-6 is already in the works, and it’ll not take as long as GPT-5. The GPT-6 announcement doesn't surprise me because OpenAI is slowly becoming a product-first company rather than research-focused. There's no denying that OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman overhyped GPT-5 and underdelivered. While GPT-5 isn't exactly bad and actually offers significant improvements over GPT-4 or o3 for coding, the rollout wasn't smooth and some people were expecting more than

Slightly unusual genre today: a negative result about our git-review tool for a different take on code review process, which we decided to shelve, at least for the time being.

With August already two-thirds out the door, it means we're getting closer to the Apple iPhone event, which typically takes place in September. During that event, we'll finally get to put our eyes on the iPhone 17 lineup. The latest iOS 26 features will come preinstalled on the new models, as well as any additional features Apple reveals at the launch event. But since we still have to wait a few weeks (presumably) until the iPhone event, we can at least speculate what the new phones will look li

Image by Getty / Futurism Mental Health "Go outside" or "touch grass" are common rejoinders deployed in online arguments these days. And, at least for those of us whose brains have probably melted from spending too much time on an app where said arguments take place, it turns out it's pretty sound advice. As the New York Times reports, there's a growing body of evidence suggesting that simply spending time in nature can instantly boost your algorithm-addled brain's attention span. It's part of
