Twitter co-founder and blockchain evangelist Jack Dorsey has made good on his promise of reviving his much-missed, six-second video platform Vine — well, sort of. As TechCrunch reports, the rebooted platform, dubbed diVine, will include over 100,000 archived videos from the platform, likely only a small fraction of the platform’s original database. Vine had over 200 million active monthly users in its heyday ten years ago, but was shut down in 2016. But the reboot has a hidden ace up its sleeve: AI-generated content is banned outright, and any suspected use of AI will be flagged and prevented from being…

I will admit that I’m something of a sports nerd, especially when it comes to my home state’s teams (it’s so nice to have a good Detroit Lions team after so many years of suffering). So, naturally, I’m also a fan of sports movies, especially the ones that try and do something unique with the concept rather than just following the conventional clichés of the genre. But that’s just my own tastes, which aren’t exactly universal. Sometimes I like to recommend sports films to my friends who aren’t exactly fans of any particular sport (most of my friends, then). This…

Ryan Haines / Android AuthorityTL;DR Real-world images of a Galaxy S26 Edge dummy have leaked online. The dummy measures 5.5mm thick, which is 0.3mm thinner than the Galaxy S25 Edge. It’s even thinner than the iPhone 17 Air, which measures 5.6mm. This year, Samsung released its first ultra-thin phone, the Galaxy S25 Edge. The tech giant originally planned to follow it up with a sequel, but ultimately ended up canceling the Galaxy S26 Edge due to poor sales. As it turns out, the compromises required to shrink the phone down were not worth the squeeze. Although Samsung is no longer…

If you’re an avid Spotify user then you’ll undoubtedly have come across its Jam feature. For those unfamiliar, Jam allows you to add friends to your current listening session on Spotify, so they can listen along with you and add their own tracks to the queue. You don’t even need to be in the same room to join a Jam either. Although it’s a great tool to use when you’re physically surrounded by your people, say at a house party or even just working at the office, you can join a jam from thousands of miles away too.  Just note…

Apple announced on Thursday the launch of a new developer program, the Mini Apps Partner Program, which will offer a reduced commission rate of 15% on in-app purchases for the mini applications. The iPhone maker defines a mini app as a “self-contained” experience that’s built using web technologies like HTML5 and JavaScript, which are distributed within a larger, native app. The technology has been supported on the App Store for nearly a decade, but this is the first time it’s offered a reduced commission on mini app transactions. Apple in 2017 added a rule to its App Review Guidelines, which lists…

As a music streaming platform, Spotify covers all the basics and then some. The service is filled with millions of tunes covering every genre under the sun, with useful collaborative features for sharing playlists, as well as a powerful algorithm that always seems to recommend the best jams at just the right times. Spotify also features several obscure or lesser-known features — you might be familiar with the streamer’s built-in chatroom, or with its optional ChatGPT integration, but did you know that there’s also a top-secret, hidden mini-game built into the application as well? Well, it certainly came as a…

Artificial intelligence agents powered by the world's most advanced language models routinely fail to complete even straightforward professional tasks on their own, according to groundbreaking research released Thursday by Upwork, the largest online work marketplace.But the same study reveals a more promising path forward: When AI agents collaborate with human experts, project completion rates surge by up to 70%, suggesting the future of work may not pit humans against machines but rather pair them together in powerful new ways.The findings, drawn from more than 300 real client projects posted to Upwork's platform, marking the first systematic evaluation of how human…
