Leaks have already attempted to identify the color options for the lineup, though many have disagreed on the details.

wired.com Paresh Dave 2026-03-06 21:48:41

US attorney general Pam Bondi has told at least 10 tech companies, including Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, that they have “incurred no liability” for supporting TikTok despite the federal ban on providing services to the popular video-sharing app, according to letters disclosed on Thursday. Under orders from President Donald Trump, Bondi has refused to enforce a law passed by Congress last year that classifies TikTok as a national security risk because of its ties to China and bars comp

Apple CarPlay Ultra vs. Google Built-In: How the Next-Gen Auto Software Rivals Compare

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-07 16:00:03

I'd spent an hour driving a $250,000-plus Aston Martin up the Los Angeles coast when my hunger pangs became impossible to ignore, and as I've done many times before, I asked Siri (through Apple CarPlay) to find me a taco place. But then I did something no other car on the planet allows: I asked Siri to blast the AC and make the air colder. That's because the 2025 Aston Martin DBX I drove was the first vehicle to come with Apple CarPlay Ultra, the upgraded version of the company's car software.

Google Now returns? Gemini Space could bring a Daily Hub feature to Pixels (Updated: Screenshot)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google is developing a new feature called Gemini Space for Pixel devices, potentially as an evolution or rebrand of the current At a Glance feature. We’ve now found strings for a “Daily Hub,” feature within At a Glance/Gemini Space, described as a “space for content and suggestions to simplify your day.” This suggests Daily Hub could offer helpful content and suggestions similar to Samsung’s Now Brief and the erstwhile Google Now.

Nothing Says the Phone 3 Isn’t One Big Gimmick, but I’m Not So Sure

Nothing CEO Carl Pei wants you to know one thing: the startup’s smartphones aren’t just relying on a schtick. The Phone 3, which was finally unveiled this week after seemingly never-ending leaks and teasers, is being billed as the company’s “true flagship,” which means… to be honest, I don’t know what the hell it means.

At Google’s I/O 2025 event in May, the company showed off a digital assistant that didn’t just answer questions; it helped work on a bicycle repair by finding a matching user manual, locating a YouTube tutorial, and even calling a local store to ask about a part, all with minimal human nudging.

Here’s why everyone is using YouTube Music — even if they don’t love it!

Joe Maring / Android Authority Not many years ago, if you mentioned YouTube Music in a room full of long-time Google Play Music users, you could probably hear their collective sigh from space. Google retired its beloved service in 2020 and replaced it with something that, at the time, felt underbaked to be a true music player. Fast-forward to 2025, and while the groans haven’t completely died down, nearly everyone we know, including our readers, is using YouTube Music. This revelation came str

Evidence of a 12,800-year-old shallow airburst depression in Louisiana

news.ycombinator.com Fitzenreiter 2026-03-08 00:55:53

Introduction Cosmic airbursts and impacts produce a wide range of surface effects, with high-altitude airbursts, such as the 1908 Tunguska event, primarily generating blast damage without forming craters [1]. In contrast, low-altitude “touch-down” airbursts may induce surface melting, spherule formation, shocked quartz, and shallow cratering [2]. Due to preservation challenges, few airburst signatures are documented in the geologic record, limiting our understanding of these events. Here, we rep
