Illustration: The Verge Google Messages is trying to banish spammy job-seeking and package-delivery texts from your inbox, and it’s also adding a content warning to blur images that might contain nudity. The Sensitive Content Warning feature is optional, and if enabled, it will show users a “speed bump” with “help-finding resources and options” before they can view an image with nudity detected via on-device scanning. If users try to share an image with nudity, the app will warn them about the risks. With all of the scanning done on-device, Google says it doesn’t see the contents of your images or send them anywhere, and it doesn’t break the end-to-end encryption available with RCS. Apple’s Messages app added similar protection with Communication Safety... Continue reading…

Tim Cook apparently uses a lot more than an iPhone in his daily life. | Photo by Justin Sullivan / Getty Images While discussing his daily routine, Tim Cook told Ben Cohen in this WSJ Magazine interview that “every day” he uses “every product.” In the story, he mentions using an iPhone, an Apple Watch, AirPods, and then, for work, two different MacBooks, an iMac, a Vision Pro, and an iPad Pro. But what would it look like to truly use everything Apple makes every single day? Imagine using every variant of hardware Apple makes in one day, with or without Beats. Then, there are the accessories. Cook surely uses the polishing cloth, Apple’s most compatible product, every day, and probably this VESA mount for the Pro Display XDR. You’d need to use all of its services also, and I don’t just mean Apple Music, Arcade, and Apple TV Plus. iTunes Match,... Continue reading…

AT&T will let you try before you buy. | Image: The Verge T-Mobile and Verizon have been offering free network trials for a couple of years at this point; now, AT&T has finally introduced a trial program of its own. It’s a no-commitment way to give the AT&T network a try while still holding on to your current carrier, number, and device. Pretty cool! But you’ll need an unlocked phone, which might disqualify a lot of people who are still paying off their current device — though the FCC is trying to do something about that. AT&T calls its program Try AT&T, and at the moment, it’s iOS only; the carrier’s blog post states that Android support will be introduced in 2025. The trial makes use of eSIM, which allows you to use a secondary line on your phone without ditching your primary number.... Continue reading…

A new study by an international team of scientists has found evidence that ancient elephant fossils recovered in the Kashmir Valley of South Asia were butchered by archaic human ancestors. This would have happened between 300,000 and 400,000 years ago, during the Middle Pleistocene epoch. As of now this is the oldest example of animal butchery ever found in India, predating the previous oldest example (from 8,000 BC) by a significant amount. The elephant fossils were unearthed in 2000 near the town of Pampore, Kashmir. It is believed there are at least three elephants represented in the fossil collection, all of which had died near the Jhelum River and were eventually buried deeply in sediment, which kept them well-preserved as they fossilized. Most of the bones found belonged to one large male specimen, and that included the one elephant skull that was recovered. Just a short distance away from the fossils many ancient stone tools were also excavated. At the time of this discovery, however, it wasn’t clear if this was related in any way to the presence of the animals, or if it was just a coincidence. Tracking Down the Mysterious Meat Eaters of Pleistocene India In 2019, a team of researchers from India and the United Kingdom worked together on a fresh study of the fossils, and were eventually able to identify them as belonging to a long-extinct species of giant elephant known as the Palaeoloxodon. This huge animal was twice as large as the modern African elephant, yet it lived so long ago that fossil finds of it have been rare. In fact, only one other Palaeoloxodon skeleton has ever been found, which is why it took so long to discover the true identity of the Pampore creatures.
