Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge NotebookLM, Google’s AI note-taking app, can now summarize — and help you dig deeper into — YouTube videos. The new capability works by analyzing the text in a YouTube video’s transcript, including auto-generated ones. Once you add a YouTube link to NotebookLM, it will use AI to provide a brief summary with key topics discussed in the transcript. You can then click on these topics to get more detailed information as well as ask questions. (If you’re struggling to come up with something to ask, NotebookLM will suggest some questions). Screenshot: The Verge When I dropped in The Verge’s iPhone 16 Pro review, NotebookLM generated topics discussed in the video like “Apple Intelligence,” “iPhone 16 Pro Camera,” and “Photo...

I picked up my iPhone 16 Plus protective screen and case even before I got the new phone. I was already aware of the first iPhone 16 drop tests, which proved what I had suspected all along: We still haven't quite reached indestructible glass. Yes, the new iPhone 16 models feature a second-generation Ceramic Shield glass cover. But it won't survive certain accidents any better than the previous version. Drop the phone from high enough and hit a hard surface like concrete, and the front or back of the phone might shatter. The first iPhone 16 Pro drop tests showed that the handset would turn off completely if it fell just right. Landing on the ultra-slim bezel might knock out the screen even though the glass itself will survive largely intact. My issue with these drops is that they can't be objective. Your mileage may vary depending on how the phone moves in the air once you drop it. However, there's a new video out involving a test that replaces the human with a robot for the drop test. It gives us a better look at the iPhone 16 Pro Max during drops, comparing it with its biggest rival, the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Continue reading...

The world’s oldest preserved cheese…arranged like jewelry…in the form of a dairy necklace grave good? A new discovery ticks all these boxes and is from Tarim Basin in northwestern China. For at least three people buried 3,600 years ago in Xinjiang, the question of what they want to carry into their afterlife seems clear: they chose cheese! These ancient individuals were buried with small lumps of fermented dairy, arranged around their necks. An Unusual Grave Good, A Preservation Exquisite These lumps are now recognized as the world’s oldest preserved cheese. Not only has the cheese been remarkably well-preserved, but new research is revealing its secrets, offering insights into ancient human culture and the spread of dairying practices across Asia. A new study published in the journal Cell provides fresh genetic analysis of these cheese chunks, along with other interesting information from the ancient world. The information primarily emerges from the burial of a young woman, whose preservation was enabled by the dry desert climate and her sealed coffin. When archaeologists unearthed her grave in 2003, they found her remains: she was still dressed in a felt hat, a tasseled wool coat, and fur-lined leather boots, and unusually, pieces of cheese arranged like a necklace around her neck.
