With cameras getting more and more advanced, everyone’s taking photos of everything these days. However, those photos are more than just the perfect sunrise you captured while trekking up a hill. To a computer, each image file is a dossier. They contain a lot of information, not just about the photo and the device it was taken on, but also about you. You’ve probably never checked the metadata behind the photos you take, but it’s essential information that can be a huge privacy breach if shared unchecked. This is exactly why you shouldn’t share photos until you run a metadata…
As a photographer, there’s no Adobe product that I interact with more than Lightroom and its desktop counterpart, Lightroom Classic. If I’m not using it to edit photos from the racetrack, I use it to doctor pictures for us here at Pocket-Lint. However, I recently encountered one of the most annoying issues that Lightroom has ever put me through. When denoising my photos at high ISO, I found that my time to completion kept increasing with each image. It was like each file kept dragging my equipment down further and further. Keep in mind, I have a newly minted Mac…

‘Tis the season for overindulgence. But for people with allergies, holiday feasting can be strewn with landmines.Over three million people worldwide tiptoe around a food allergy. Even more experience watery eyes, runny noses, and uncontrollable sneezing from dust, pollen, or cuddling with a fluffy pet. Over-the-counter medications can control symptoms. But in some people, allergic responses turn deadly.In anaphylaxis, an overactive immune system releases a flood of inflammatory chemicals that closes up the throat. This chemical storm stresses out the heart and blood vessels and limits oxygen to the brain and other organs.Early diagnosis, especially of shellfish or nut allergies,…
Oppo launched a new midranger in China and it brings a familiar set of looks and specs to a few other models from the brand. The Oppo A6L is a rebrand of the Oppo A6 Max, which launched back in August in China. As such it brings the same core specs, including a massive 7,000 mAh Si/C battery, a 6.8-inch AMOLED (FHD+ 120Hz), Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and a 50MP main camera. Like the A6 Max, Oppo A6L is IP68/IP69 water and dust resistant and boots Android 15 with ColorOS 15 on top. The only difference we can spot…

Anthropic on Monday launched a beta integration that connects its fast-growing Claude Code programming agent directly to Slack, allowing software engineers to delegate coding tasks without leaving the workplace messaging platform where much of their daily communication already happens.The release, which Anthropic describes as a "research preview," is the AI safety company's latest move to embed its technology deeper into enterprise workflows — and comes as Claude Code has emerged as a surprise revenue engine, generating over $1 billion in annualized revenue just six months after its public debut in May."The critical context around engineering work often lives in Slack,…
AI robots turning on us and taking over the world is something on all of our minds right now. But would it be so bad if the machines went after CEOs first? We’re mulling over the prospect of such delicious schadenfreude after watching a new demonstration from the Chinese robotics startup EngineAI. Instead of having its T800 android shadowbox some pre-programmed martial arts moves — a stunt that many of its competitors have already run into the ground — EngineAI lets its menacing android loose on the company’s head honcho, whom it promptly proceeds to kick the ever-living crap out…

Bissell PowerClean FurFinder: two-minute reviewThe Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is a simple but effective cordless vacuum with an affordable price tag. I’ve been testing it out for two weeks and have generally been very impressed.On the design front it keeps things basic, with three suction modes, a removable battery, a small but easy-to-empty bin and a wall mount for out-of-the way storage. Like almost all stick vacuums these days, it…
YouTube has evolved into the internet’s most expansive library of tutorials, explainers, documentaries, and niche deep dives. Yet paradoxically, actually watching long-form content on the platform can be frustrating. You are 20 minutes into a 40-minute video when a sprawling sponsor segment appears. The recommendation sidebar tugs you toward distractions, a familiar nuisance if you are sick of irrelevant YouTube suggestions. And you often have no idea whether the hour-long tutorial you are about to start is insightful or misleading. The good news is that you are not stuck with YouTube in its default, chaotic form. With a carefully chosen…
