5 underrated Android features I use all the time, and you should too

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-20 12:00:59

Andy Walker / Android Authority Features like split-screen mode, Quick Share, and various battery optimizations are more or less common knowledge amongst Android users. But Google’s OS has so many features, it’s easy for some to fly under the radar — especially since they can be buried deep within the settings. A lot of the features I use regularly aren’t talked about as much as they should be, partly due to the fact not everyone is aware that they even exist. I want to change that by sharing

Leaked Document Reveals Troubling Details About How AI Is Really Being Trained

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-20 09:45:40

Under the hood of a huge amount of artificial intelligence is an immense amount of human labor. This can take many forms, but a particularly prominent one is "data labeling": the process of annotating material like written text, audio, or video, so that it can be used to train an algorithm. Fueling the multi-billion dollar AI industry is a vast army of remote contract workers, often from less wealthy countries like the Philippines, Pakistan, Kenya, and India.

This Dock Is the Only Way to Play the Switch 2 in AR. It Was a Very Awkward Experience.

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-07-20 09:00:12

I should be used to sticking odd contraptions on my head during plane flights. I’ve planted a Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro over my eyes as my in-flight entertainment and tried not to get motion sick while imagining what other passengers think of my sci-fi asshattery. On my latest six-hour, cross-country flight, I took my Nintendo Switch 2 out of my bag, then dug in for a USB cable, two pairs of augmented reality (AR) glasses, and finally a large power brick that was supposed to make this e

Tidy up your Mac office space with a Thunderbolt dock hidden under your desk

Like many people these days, I work from home and use a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an external display. I have been a long-time user of the OWC Thunderbolt Dock which lets me connect my display and various peripherals to the hub’s I/O ports, with only a single cable plugged in to the laptop. This dock has simply sat atop the desk, until recently. I came across a further improvement to my setup which helps declutter even more.

BBC Insists Its Disney Partnership Remains Strong in Wake of ‘Doctor Who’ Doubts

Ever since the latest season of Doctor Who came to a messy end a few months ago, the biggest question on audiences’ minds (among the many questions raised by that finale) is when, or if, we might expect to see the show return to our screens. The further we’ve moved from the season without news other than that there is no news about the BBC renewing its funding and distribution deal with Disney for the series, the more doubts have grown.

Jack Dorsey’s New App Just Hit a Very Embarrassing Snag

Serial entrepreneur Jack Dorsey, who cofounded Twitter, Block, and Bluesky, has started yet another new app — and this one's got an embarrassing secret. As TechCrunch reports, Dorsey's new open source messaging app, Bitchat, is supposed to be decentralized, private, and secure. There's only one problem: the Bluetooth-based app, by the venture's admission, is probably lacking in that key regard.

All Ncuti Gatwa Is Willing to Say About the Future of ‘Doctor Who’ Is That He’s Not It

Across two seasons, the Fifteenth Doctor got just 16 episodes of Doctor Who, plus two Christmas specials, and his era ended with a confusing regeneration and some intense uncertainty over what will come next for the long-running sci-fi series. You won’t get any concrete answers from its most recent showrunner, Russell T Davis—and the outgoing Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, is also proving to be similarly unhelpful. Granted, it’s likely Gatwa is past the point of having much insider info; he finished his
