100W universal fast charging is here, there’s no excuse Apple, Google, and Samsung!

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-30 02:00:03

Robert Triggs / Android Authority The new Xiaomi 17 series has a lot of technology on show, especially as it is the first phone to sport Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. But what’s caught the eye is another sky-high performance metric — 100W charging. Ah, I hear you exclaim, 100W charging in a phone is hardly news — proprietary charging standards from China hit that benchmark years ago. But Xiaomi is doing something different this year. It supports this lickety-split power le

Scott Wiener on his fight to make Big Tech disclose AI’s dangers

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-10-05 22:21:06

This is not California state Senator Scott Wiener’s first attempt at addressing the dangers of AI. In 2024, Silicon Valley mounted a fierce campaign against his controversial AI safety bill, SB 1047, which would have made tech companies liable for the potential harms of their AI systems. Tech leaders warned that it would stifle America’s AI boom. Governor Gavin Newsom ultimately vetoed the bill, echoing similar concerns, and a popular AI hacker house promptly threw a “SB 1047 Veto Party.” One a

I uncovered an ACPI bug in my Dell Inspiron 5567. It was plaguing me for 8 years

Imagine you close your laptop lid to put it to sleep, but instead of pausing, it reboots. Not every time, just often enough to be infuriating. You try to save your work, but the machine decides to start over. For eight years, this has been the reality of using my Dell Inspiron 5567. A bug I couldn't explain, happening across every OS I installed. This is the story of how I dug into the firmware's source code and found the single, flawed command responsible.

Why California’s SB 53 might provide a meaningful check on big AI companies

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-10-10 02:00:37

California’s state senate recently gave final approval to a new AI safety bill, SB 53, sending it to Governor Gavin Newsom to either sign or veto. If this all sounds familiar, that’s because Newsom vetoed another AI safety bill, also written by state senator Scott Wiener, last year. But SB 53 is narrower than Wiener’s previous SB 1047, with a focus on big AI companies making more than $500 million in annual revenue. I got the chance to discuss SB 53 with my colleagues Max Zeff and Kirsten Koro

Farsighted? These Eye Drops Could Eventually Replace Your Reading Glasses

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-18 02:50:18

If you haven’t yet experienced it yourself, you’ve certainly seen older family members start to hold smartphones and restaurant menus up to their noses, squinting at the small text. That’s because as we age, we all develop presbyopia, or age-related farsightedness—trouble focusing on close objects or text. That’s where surgery or reading glasses usually come in, but new research suggests there could be another option. Researchers have demonstrated that after taking special eye drops two or thre
