The tech gods are finally smiling at Siri if a report published in the New York Times (via 9to5Mac) today is true. We’ve been writing a few times about our personal feelings about Siri’s shortcomings and the hope that Apple’s AI initiatives will allow the virtual digital assistant to respond to more queries with one direct answer instead of tossing three excerpts from different websites at us forcing us to find what might be the correct answer among them.There is nothing more frustrating than asking Siri a question about the iPhone only to hear the ol’ gal say those six…

Leaving this untreated could lead to serious issues including heart problems and high blood pressure. The second health condition that the Apple Watch X might detect is hypertension.Hypertension is another way of saying high blood pressure and the Apple…

Drivers with an Electric Vehicle (EV) can already receive some important information from Google Maps when it comes to charging the car’s battery.

Users can also determine when the charger was last used to help determine whether the driver is wasting battery life by heading to a broken charger or one that is not in service.Per Android Police, to make finding these chargers easier, an update has arrived…

Last month the FCC fined the nation’s “Big 3” wireless providers approximately $200 million combined for sharing the location of its customers with third-party platforms without consent. These platforms, known as aggregators, sell the data to their third-party customers who use the info to push out timely ads among other things. For example, did you ever walk past, say, a Sunglass Hut store and moments later receive a digital coupon for a pair of sunglasses? Did you stop in amazement wondering how the retailer knew where you are? This is how.The investigation started in 2020 and in April 2024 the…

The fact that an AI model has the potential to behave in a deceptive manner without any direction to do so may seem concerning. But it mostly arises from the “black box” problem that characterizes state-of-the-art machine-learning models: it is impossible to say exactly how or why they produce the results they do—or whether they’ll always exhibit that behavior going forward, says Peter S. Park, a postdoctoral fellow studying AI existential safety at MIT, who worked on the project. “Just because your AI has certain behaviors or tendencies in a test environment does not mean that the same lessons will…
Apple took a risk to revive its flagging tablet sales and fragmented its iPad line into something for every taste yet again. It now sells no less than six tablet models, from the tiny 8-inch iPad mini, to the mighty iPad Pro M4 13-inch that it just announced.The throw-everything-at-the-wall to see what sticks strategy worked with the iPhone, so Apple is now trying it with the iPad series.
