Nothing just took the opportunity to “unveil” the Nothing Phone (2a) around the ongoing MWC event in Barcelona. Well, kind of — sort of. During a cool party in one of the city’s lovely restaurants, the Nothing Phone (2a) arrived like a superstar — in fashion and out of reach.It was presented in glass boxes, which fully showed us the design of the back of the phone, its own Glyph lights, and not much else. So, every little teaser that the company showed so far was in front of us — in the flesh… or whatever material it’s made of,…

Apple was expected to release iOS 17.4 early in March to beat the March 8th deadline imposed by the EU for Apple to deliver all of the changes coming to Safari, the App Store, and iOS in the 27 EU member countries. Those in the EU will be able to use a browser with a non-WebKit engine, select a third-party default contactless payment app, choose an alternative third-party app store to install apps from, and much more.Developers will be able to have in-app purchases processed by an alternative payment processing platform and avoid the so-called Apple Tax which will be…

New AI-powered tools produce inaccurate election information more than half the time, including answers that are harmful or incomplete, according to new research. The study, from AI Democracy Projects and nonprofit media outlet Proof News, comes as the U.S. presidential primaries are underway across the U.S. and as more Americans are turning to chatbots such as Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s GPT-4 for information. Experts have raised concerns that the advent of powerful new forms of AI could result in voters receiving false and misleading information, or even discourage people from going to the polls.The latest generation of artificial intelligence technology, including tools…
After nearly a year-long delay, Google Maps’ “glanceable directions” feature is finally rolling out to Android and iOS devices worldwide. This long-awaited addition makes your navigation experience more convenient and safer by bringing vital trip information directly to your lock screen.Google originally announced this feature way back in February 2023, but the rollout took significantly longer than expected. After a few sporadic sightings over the course of last summer, there were no further updates on its development until January 2024, when it was reported that the feature began silently appearing for users everywhere. Now, according to Android Police, this is…

There are an estimated 500,000 pieces of space junk as small as a centimeter across orbiting Earth, and about 23,000 trackable objects bigger than 10 centimeters. Dead rockets make up an interesting—and dangerous—category. The 956 known rocket bodies in space account for just 4% of trackable objects but nearly a third of the total mass. The biggest empty rockets, mostly discarded by Russia in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, weigh up to nine tons—as much as an elephant. These discarded upper stages, the top section of a rocket that boosts a satellite or spacecraft into its final orbit, are left…

In the last few months of 2023, I had settled into a cozy and agreeable life with the iPhone 15. The reason for this has mostly to do with comfort. iOS grows on you and part of that is because it has embraced consistency rather than incessant change. But also, the iPhone 15 made big leaps in camera quality and it remains the best phone for video recording. And since I also prefer smaller phones, it’s not like I had much of a choice (anything with a Plus, Max or Ultra in its name just won’t work for me).But in…

“Even if your data is encrypted,” says Patwari, “somebody sitting outside of your house could get information about where people are walking inside of the house—maybe even who is doing the walking.” With time, skill, and the right equipment, they could potentially watch your keystrokes, read your lips, or listen to sound waves; with good enough AI, they might be able to interpret them. “I mean,” Patwari clarifies, “the current technology I think would work best is looking inside the window, right?” Wherever there is Wi-Fi, walls are now more porous. But right now, the only people who can do…
They say the classics don’t need updating, and while that generally doesn’t apply to high-end smartphones for fairly obvious reasons, some “classic” mobile devices are often more appealing to the masses than their upgraded successors.At the right price, the 6.3-inch Pixel 7 from 2022, for instance, can be a smarter purchase than 2023’s 6.2-inch Pixel 8, especially when the latter model is not substantially marked down by any major US retailer, as is the case at the time of this writing.The non-Pro Pixel 7, meanwhile, is currently discounted by a very generous 200 bucks from a $699 list price in…
