Strava is the de facto fitness data middleman. | Photo by Victoria Song / The Verge A few days ago, Strava upset its users over some restrictive API changes. It might seem odd for one app’s users to fume over an API, but at the heart of the matter is the inherent messiness of fitness data. Here’s a typical scenario. Say you’re all in on Garmin’s platform. You use their watches for running and strength training. Then, you pick up a Peloton bike for indoor cycling. Well, Garmin devices aren’t compatible with Peloton bikes because the two companies haven’t struck a direct deal with one another for data sharing. So, to get your heart rate on the Peloton bike, you buy a chest strap.

There's no shortage of AI applications for iPhones. While iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 users can take advantage of Apple Intelligence and the upcoming Image Playground and Genmoji features, several other apps and software offer more creative ideas. This is why a developer recently created a new iPhone camera app that uses AI to make photos look like Minecraft or other popular animations. It's called Lentil AI: Photo Art Generator, and it can make your images look like they were taken from your favorite anime, cartoon, and gaming universes. The app is very straightforward to use. You can take a photo or select one from your gallery, select a style, and start blending artwork right away. Lentil photos work like holographic cards. By tilting your phone, you can see the photo shift between real life and your newly created AI world. The developer writes: "Transport cosplay portraits to different anime universes, turn meal pics into anime food, put your cat inside a pixel world, turn your landscape shots into works of art. Don't just edit your photos — blend them." With that, this iPhone camera app can make your photos look right from Minecraft using AI. The app is free to use and doesn't offer in-app purchases. However, it's important to note that you must create an account to use this app. Some Redditors noted that the app collects your name, phone number, username, and other information. That being said, the app might use some of your data for marketing purposes or to resell that information to others. That said, while this isn't wrong, it's how the developer decided to maintain the app, as they don't offer in-app purchases or ads. You can find it in the App Store here.

Jay Leno was present at his latest show this week, despite having concerning injuries on his face, including a shut-eye, and a broken wrist. He did an interview with Inside Edition, where he claimed to have suffered a dangerous fall at the Hampton Inn near Pittsburgh. Jay Leno narrated how he decided to take a shortcut down a hill while heading to dinner from his suite, leading to a bad fall that sent him tumbling 60 feet downhill. Fans are not buying his explanation this time, as they think he got beaten by a mob due to previous occurrences. Fans believe Jay Leno got beaten up by a mob Jay Leno/ImageCollect This is one of Jay Leno’s many injuries as he was badly burned across his face, arms and chest last year while allegedly working on his classic cars, after which he got into another accident while riding a motorcycle, leading to multiple fractures. According to concerned fans and social media users, these events are no coincidence, and Jay Leno is not telling the truth. They also believe his stay at a Hampton Inn is fishy, and he might be owing some mafia money due to his gambling addiction. Social media reacts to Jay Leno’s injuries Jay Leno/ImageCollect The clip of Jay Leno showing his battered face went viral on social media, and fans did not hold back their thoughts on the matter. “Has a show in Pittsburgh but staying 30 miles out at a hampton inn? no car? walking a mile to a restaurant?” someone questioned, while another said nobody falls down a hill and looks that battered. Many replied with utmost certainty that Jay Leno got beaten by a mob member, likely by a loan shark, while some were simply surprised he still performed after, indicating that he had to make money. “Take care of yourself Jay but know that something doesn’t sit right, be careful, whatever the cause,” a concerned fan quipped.
