Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR In the latest beta of the Gemini Android app, we spotted an option to attach audio files, such as MP3s, to chats. A “Talk live about this” prompt also appears, but the audio isn’t accurately processed yet. While the feature might not be fully operational, we know that Gemini can comprehend audio. Ever wished you could just throw an MP3 at Gemini and have it explain what it’s about? That might be coming soon, as we’ve spotted early signs of audio file sup

The Lunar Trailblazer mission to the moon officially ended on July 31, but it wasn't a complete journey. NASA said today that its teams lost contact with the satellite shortly after its launch several months prior. The NASA satellite was part of the IM-2 mission by Intuitive Machines, which took off from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center on February 26 at 7:16PM ET. The Lunar Trailblazer successfully separated from the rocket as planned about 48 minutes after launch. Operators

NASA's Curiosity picks up new skills

Instead, Curiosity and its younger sibling Perseverance each use their MMRTG nuclear power source, which relies on decaying plutonium pellets to create energy and recharge the rover’s batteries. Providing ample power for the rovers’ many science instruments, MMRTGs are known for their longevity (the twin Voyager spacecraft have relied on RTGs since 1977). But as the plutonium decays over time, it takes longer to recharge Curiosity’s batteries, leaving less energy for science each day. The team

The Best Open Earbuds You Can Buy Aren’t Actually Earbuds at All

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-23 11:02:00

Back in my day, the name of the game when it came to wireless audio was noise cancellation. That’s to say, how much noise can your wireless earbuds possibly block? And sure, active noise-cancellation (ANC) wireless earbuds are probably never going to fall out of vogue entirely, but in recent years, audio companies have recognized that it is, in fact, nice to sometimes be aware of your surroundings. Thus, a market for open earbuds was created. If you’re not familiar with “open earbuds,” as they’

Rivian sues Ohio DMV over partial ban on direct car sales

Rivian has filed a lawsuit against Ohio's Department of Motor Vehicles because of the state's partial ban on direct car sales, The Verge reports. The company says that the ban "reduces competition, decreases consumer choice and drives up consumer costs and inconvenience." Rivian believes Ohio's law is particularly unfair because it contains a carveout for the company's competitor Tesla.

Is the Dream Chaser space plane ever going to launch into orbit?

When will Sierra Space's winged vehicle, Dream Chaser, finally take flight? Unfortunately, it's still not clear. Almost certainly, however, it won't be this year. The Dream Chaser space plane has now been under development for more than two decades, and it has a huge cult following because its winged shape mimics the iconic Space Shuttle. However, during a recent news briefing, a senior NASA official would only say this about a launch date: "We will be ready for them when they're ready to fly."
