Here’s how Google Find Hub satellite location sharing is going to work (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-05 11:26:52

TL;DR Google announced back in May that the newly renamed Find Hub would be adding support for satellite-based location sharing. That’s still not here yet, but a recent app update reveals text strings that hint at how things will work. Users will be able to share their location once every 15 minutes, with a daily limit on maximum shares. Satellite support is changing the rules of the game when it comes to mobile connectivity, and we are still right now only in the early days of its evolution.

A bump in iPhone storage is coming, but Apple already made it irrelevant to me

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-12-05 11:15:36

We were already expecting higher iPhone prices this year, but it now seems that one of the four models will get a bump in storage in return. That’s always welcome, of course, but a move Apple made two years ago already made it irrelevant to me … iPhone 17 Pro storage bump With Apple facing import tariffs on iPhones manufactured in China, it had always seemed likely that it was going to pass on at least some of these costs to iPhone buyers.

Hidden Door is an AI storytelling game that actually makes sense

theverge.com Jay Peters 2025-12-05 11:00:00

Years before ChatGPT jump-started the generative AI wave, OpenAI technology powered a game called AI Dungeon 2 that essentially let you improvise an open-ended, anything-goes story with an AI narrator. Hidden Door, a new platform that’s now in early access, also lets you cowrite a choose-your-own-adventure-style story with AI. But this narrator won’t let you do whatever you want — in fact, that’s a lot of the appeal. Hidden Door is designed to let you play in worlds that include the public doma

So what's the difference between plotted and printed artwork?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-05 16:06:29

Pen plotters are somewhat like 3D printers. They move in X/Y space and typically have a pen lift mechanism. Attached to their arm can be any number of drawing instruments, from pens to pencils, brushes to pastels, and even drill bits to scratch glass. Printers (we'll focus on inkjet for this article) blast tiny ink particles into paper and can seamlessly mix them to create a range of visually distinct hues and tones. In the art world, they're commonly used to make Giclée prints, which are essen

In Brief Apple has rejected Elon Musk’s accusations that its App Store is biased against AI apps that compete with OpenAI. “We feature thousands of apps through charts, algorithmic recommendations and curated lists selected by experts using objective criteria,” the BBC quoted Apple as saying. The response comes after Musk threatened to sue Apple via xAI, claiming the iPhone maker was “behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store.
