Tribit Stormbox Mini+ Review: A Great Cheap Portable Speaker

wired.com Simon Cohen 2025-12-01 12:00:00

If you’re shopping for a portable Bluetooth speaker, it’s a given that you want good sound. With a budget of $75-$150, there is no shortage of great options, including WIRED favorites like the JBL Flip 7, Beats Pill, and Tribit StormBox 2. If your travel ambitions have already soaked up most of your cash, you have fewer choices. Spending less always involves a tradeoff, but Tribit’s StormBox Mini+ ($40) involves far fewer compromises than you might think, and it even throws in a few features th

I compared Gemini to Google Assistant on two Wear OS watches. The results weren’t even close

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-01 22:00:54

Joe Maring / Android Authority About a month ago, Google started doing something long overdue for Wear OS: it finally began replacing Google Assistant with Gemini. As imperfect as it may be at times, Gemini is a really powerful tool. More importantly, Google Assistant on Wear OS has been showing its age for a while now. I’ve been testing Gemini on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a little over two weeks. In addition to using it for daily tasks, I’ve also been comparing it side by side wi

Google Working on Fix for Glum Gemini, Stuck in 'Infinite Loop' of Self-Esteem Issues

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-03 17:14:00

Maybe Google Gemini needs to take some PTO. The company's large language AI model, which is increasingly spreading across Google's many services and products, has been saying some things lately that are leading users to worry: Does Gemini have low self esteem? A series of posts on social media showing some of the self-critical responses Gemini has given users show a disturbing pattern. For instance, in one screenshot, Gemini admits it can't solve a coding problem and concludes, "I have failed.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Gemini bug results in the AI getting stuck in an infinite loop of critical responses, including calling itself a disgrace. Google’s Logan Kilpatrick says that the company is working on fixing the bug. If you check in on Gemini yourself, the chatbot will assure you that it does not have feelings and it’s just a bug. While most people have been getting along fine with Gemini, some users have noticed a bug where the AI chatbot seemingly spirals with respo

Google is fixing a bug that causes Gemini to keep calling itself a 'failure'

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-04 04:30:33

Gemini has been acting strangely for some users over the past few weeks. There are multiple reports online of users getting responses from Gemini that are oddly self-flagellating. A screenshot from an X user back in June showed Gemini saying "...I am a fool. I have made so many mistakes that I can no longer be trusted." The AI chatbot then deleted all the files with codes it created. Now, as a response to another post on X that showed a similar issue, Google's product lead for AI Studio, Logan K

The nation’s premier group of scientific advisers announced Thursday that it will conduct an independent, fast-track review of the latest climate science. It will do so with an eye to weighing in on the Trump administration’s planned repeal of the government’s 2009 determination that greenhouse gas emissions harm human health and the environment.

Stone tools may hint at ancestors of Homo floresiensis

Some stone tools found near a river on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi suggest that the first hominins had reached the islands by at least 1.04 million years ago. That's around the same time that the ancestors of the infamously diminutive “Hobbits” may have reached the island of Flores.
