Google, the world’s largest data collector, has recently come to a proposed settlement in a class action lawsuit, Brown v. Google. The lawsuit alleged that Google was illegally tracking user behavior through its private browsing feature, Incognito mode. The proposed settlement, valued at $5 billion, aims to address these concerns and provide greater transparency and
In the event that the anticipated deal between Apple and Gemini comes to fruition, there are bound to be significant changes to how Siri functions on the iPhone. One key aspect, as pointed out by industry experts, is the branding of the new features. It is likely that Gemini-powered functions will have a distinct identity
In the pursuit of miniaturized optoelectronic devices, researchers have turned their attention to two-dimensional (2D) superconducting materials. These materials hold promise for creating smaller devices that perform efficiently while consuming less energy. One key requirement for these devices is a higher gate capacitance to store more electrical charge in relation to the voltage applied, without
Samsung’s ambitious plans to integrate generative artificial intelligence technology with its voice assistant, Bixby, demonstrate the company’s commitment to staying ahead in the competitive tech industry. Since the launch of Bixby in 2017, Samsung has continuously sought ways to enhance the functionalities and capabilities of its voice assistant to provide a more immersive and intuitive
In a world where smartphones have become an essential part of our daily lives, the T-Mobile Sidekick, also known as the Danger Hiptop, often gets overlooked in discussions about groundbreaking devices. Before the iPhone, before Android, the Sidekick revolutionized the way we interacted with our phones by introducing features that were ahead of its time.
Garmin is known for its high-quality multisport watches, but one major drawback has always been the price tag. With the introduction of the Forerunner 165 Music, Garmin has finally hit the sweet spot by offering a budget-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on performance. Priced at $299.99, or $249.99 for the standard version, this watch provides
Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have gained attention for their ability to modulate electrical current in response to small changes in applied voltage. These transistors, based on organic superconducting materials, have shown promise in the development of brain-inspired and wearable technologies due to their notable advantages, such as promising amplification and sensing capabilities, low driving voltages,
In a research center in Romania, engineer Antonia Toma takes on the monumental task of activating the world’s most powerful laser. This groundbreaking laser, operated by French company Thales, holds the promise of revolutionary advances in various sectors, from healthcare to space exploration. The technology behind this laser stems from the innovative work of Nobel
The release of new apps in the Quest Store will no longer be compatible with the original Oculus Quest 1 starting May. This decision was not due to a lack of power in the Quest 1 but rather a strategic move by developers to phase out the device as part of planned obsolescence, as revealed
