TL;DR The latest Android Canary release lets you add URLs to captured screenshots before sharing them. Users simply have to tick a box to include the URL, no copy/paste needed. This feature works with apps like Google Chrome, YouTube, and Telegram. Google has been working on adding URLs to shared screenshots for a while now.

Vivo’s Vision Pro clone costs $1,400 and weighs 398g

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-17 06:27:03

Apple’s Vision Pro is a very nice piece of kit, but the $3,400 price means that even CEO Tim Cook has acknowledged it’s a niche product, and the 600g plus weight also means many find it uncomfortable to wear for longer than an hour. Chinese brand Vivo has attempted to address both issues in a design which looks remarkably like a direct copy of Apple’s spatial computer … Vision Pro price and comfort Price and comfort have been the two biggest complaints people have made about Vision Pro.

Weaponizing image scaling against production AI systems

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-17 05:20:53

Picture this: you send a seemingly harmless image to an LLM and suddenly it exfiltrates all of your user data. By delivering a multi-modal prompt injection not visible to the user, we achieved data exfiltration on systems including the Google Gemini CLI. This attack works because AI systems often scale down large images before sending them to the model: when scaled, these images can reveal prompt injections that are not visible at full resolution.

The Best Gaming Headsets for Xbox, PS5, and PC (2025)

wired.com Brad Bourque 2025-11-17 06:03:00

Microphones are common on most headphones and earbuds, but on gaming-specific headsets you're more likely to find boom mics sticking out from one of the ears. These tend to provide better audio quality, as well as a few other features you may want to consider when buying a new headset. The first is a visual indicator for whether your mic is muted. I know that sounds a little funny, but it serves a dual purpose of letting you know that you're being heard when you're talking, and also ensuring yo

Report: Meta is hitting pause on AI hiring after its poaching spree

In Brief Meta has frozen hiring in its AI organization after restructuring the unit earlier this week, reports The Wall Street Journal. The hiring freeze follows weeks of poaching more than 50 AI researchers and engineers from competitors. The freeze went into effect last week, and it’s not clear how long it will last. Meta is still likely working through its reorg, which split its AI unit, Meta Superintelligence Labs, into four new groups: TBD Labs, run by former Scale AI founder Alexandr Wan

Tony Gilroy Is Very Sad at How Relevant ‘Andor’ Has Become
