androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-19 20:00:29

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Google is constantly pushing the boundaries of AI in its Phone app, and the new Voice Translate feature on the Pixel 10 series is one of its most ambitious attempts yet. The idea is to break down language barriers in real time and make phone conversations smoother when you and the person on the other end speak completely different languages. What’s even more fascinating is that Voice Translate attempts to mimic the voice of the speakers in order to make convers

Nothing’s charging case ‘Super Mic’ is a small upgrade to earbud audio

The microphones in your earbuds probably suck. You know it, I know it, and apparently Nothing knows it too. Its fix? Better microphones — but in the charging case, not the buds.

The Math of Catastrophe

news.ycombinator.com Gregory Barber 2025-09-19 21:34:58

In the 1960s, the Soviet climatologist and mathematician Mikhail Budyko set out to investigate the potential future of a planet on the brink of nuclear Armageddon. He started by looking some 600 million years into the past. Back then, some scientists claimed, the ancient planet was an iced-over snowball. Most researchers considered that a crackpot theory. Ice over the equator? Please. But Budkyo developed a mathematical model to back it up. If sea ice had been able to expand past a critical lat

Nothing’s New Ear 3 Fix One of the Worst Things About Wireless Earbuds

As I said in my AirPods Pro 3 review, wireless earbuds have reached a ceiling. Generally, the basics—sound, active noise cancellation (ANC), and battery life—can only be improved by so much each generation.
