Google launched a webcam feature for its Pixel phones last year, which first debuted with Android 14 QPR1.

Thankfully, Google has taken the feedback to heart and is apparently doing something about it in the next version of Android.According to reporting by Mishaal Rahman and Android Authority, Android 15 DP2 introduces a subtle but powerful addition to the webcam interface: an “HQ” button nestled in the top left corner of the UI. Tapping on it…

Suddenly, “open source” is the latest buzzword in AI circles. Meta has pledged to create open-source artificial general intelligence. And Elon Musk is suing OpenAI over its lack of open-source AI models. Meanwhile, a growing number of tech leaders and companies are setting themselves up as open-source champions. But there’s a fundamental problem—no one can agree on what “open-source AI” means. In theory, it promises a future where anyone can take part in the technology’s development. That could accelerate innovation, boost transparency, and give users greater control over systems that could soon reshape many aspects of our lives. But what…
For many users who have sought out alternatives to using iMessage on iPhone, or Meta-owned applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram has always been a privacy-minded alternative that often spearheads fresh messaging features.

In other words, program participants’ phone numbers become a relay for pins to be sent via SMS to help…

When is it okay to play with fire? When you can get a brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged 8-inch tablet with 64GB storage at a measly $59.99. That’s definitely not going to burn a hole in your pocket, and believe it or not, the Amazon Fire HD 8 units currently on offer at Woot in exchange for 60 bucks come with 1-year warranties as well. That beats Fire slates sold directly through their manufacturer, which typically include a modest 90-day warranty, thus giving bargain hunters just a little bit of additional peace of mind compared to your usual Woot deal.The Fire…

Ultimately, the community needs to decide what it’s trying to achieve, says Zacchiroli: “Are you just following where the market is going so that they don’t essentially co-opt the term ‘open-source AI,’ or are you trying to pull the market toward being more open and providing more freedoms to the users?” What’s the point of open source? It’s debatable how much any definition of open-source AI will level the playing field anyway, says Sarah Myers West, co-executive director of the AI Now Institute. She co-authored a paper published in August 2023 exposing the lack of openness in many open-source AI…
