Image: Android Headlines Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 could bring back the wing tip design we saw on the first generation of the Pixel Buds. A series of images shared with Android Headlines by reliable leaker OnLeaks show the buds with a slight bulge opposite the ear tip. The wing isn’t as prominent as the so-called “stabilizer arc” that protruded from the original Pixel Buds. Our review of those buds from 2020 mentioned that the arc could cause discomfort after wearing them for long periods of time. Hopefully, the more subdued wing on the Buds Pro 2 won’t do the same. Image: OnLeaks via Android Headlines Other than the wing tip, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 appear to trade their predecessor’s black grills for larger ones that match the color of the... Continue reading…

Illustration: The Verge Google’s Gemini AI chatbot will be able to respond to you more quickly and process more content in prompts thanks to an upgrade to the company’s Gemini 1.5 Flash AI model. With the upgrade to 1.5 Flash, you’ll see “across-the-board improvements in quality and latency, with especially noticeable improvements in reasoning and image understanding,” Amar Subramanya, VP of engineering for Gemini, says in a blog post. Gemini’s context window, or the amount of chunks of text that an AI model can process at once, is also getting quadrupled to 32K tokens, Subramanya says. 1.5 Flash, which was announced at Google I/O in May, will be available in the free version of Gemini on the web and mobile starting today, according to Subramanya. Google is... Continue reading…

The set perfectly recreates the pixelated 16-bit Mario and Yoshi sprites from Super Mario World. | Image: Lego Lego has announced its latest collaboration with Nintendo at San Diego Comic-Con: a pixelated recreation of Mario and Yoshi from the 16-bit Super Nintendo classic, Super Mario World. Like Lego’s Art sets, it’s a 2D creation meant for display but also includes hidden moving mechanisms, bringing Yoshi to life. The 1,215-piece set stands over 15 inches tall when assembled and features a yellow-caped Mario riding Yoshi atop a grass-covered hill. The front of the set is assembled from Lego tiles and looks to be a very accurate recreation of the 16-bit sprites used in Super Mario World. Image: Lego The mechanisms powering the display piece’s animations are all left exposed on the back. But when you turn the set... Continue reading…

Photo by Alex Wong / Getty Images The Associated Press has apparently retracted a fact-check published yesterday with the headline, “No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch.” As of Friday morning, the article page displayed a “page unavailable” error message. The fact-check references a few joke social media posts that have been circulating that claim the Republican vice presidential nominee wrote in his book Hillbilly Elegy about having sex with a couch. One tweet reads, “In his dreadful novel, “Hillbilly Elegy,” JD Vance described having sex with a rubber glove secured between cushions on his couch. Republicans chose him to be one heartbeat away from becoming POTUS. Voters in NC, the U.S. furniture capital, should be particularly horrified.” (Fact check: Hillbilly... Continue reading…

Apple has already released the fourth iOS 18 beta, but there's no trace of Apple Intelligence in it. However, it looks like Apple's AI features will soon be available to test. Apple is ramping up its Apple Intelligence marketing efforts. The company has scheduled a developer event for August 14th in Cupertino where it'll recap Apple Intelligence. Separately, a new privacy-centered interview with Apple execs also tackles Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT privacy in iOS 18. As a fan of genAI products in general and a ChatGPT Plus user who thinks strong privacy is the main feature of any AI chatbot, I was immediately interested to see what Apple had to say about the way it secures and protects user data with Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT. My immediate conclusion is that I'll use ChatGPT in iOS 18 differently depending on what I need. It's all because of the privacy features built into Apple Intelligence. Continue reading...

In a bizarre find, a vacationer came across a Roman sarcophagus on the northern Bulgarian Black Sea coast near Varna. The find was reported to the local authorities, leading to a swift response by the Varna Archaeological Museum and the regional office of the Culture Ministry Directorate for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, who are now examining it. The discovery was made on Tuesday, by a former law enforcement officer who was holidaying at the Sts. Constantine and Helena resort. While enjoying the beach near a recently completed construction site, he came across the sarcophagus and immediately contacted the local police. A police patrol, along with archaeological specialists, the Varna Archaeological Museum and a representative from the local office of the Culture Ministry Directorate for the Protection of Cultural Heritage make an initial inspection and surmised that it likely dated to the Roman era, specifically the 2nd to 3rd century AD, reported Bulgarian National Television.
