Dhruv Bhutani / Android AuthorityYesterday, ChatGPT announced its new AI-powered browser, Atlas, and I’ve already installed it on my computer to give it a whirl. There shouldn’t be anything surprising about this, right? Well, it isn’t. What is surprising is the fact that Google announced its Gemini integration in Chrome more than a month ago, and I still don’t have access to it.The reason is simple: I live in France, not the US. And Google has decided that Chrome’s Gemini integration is a privilege only Americans get to try, thus locking out the rest of the world. Meanwhile, OpenAI has…
Elon Musk said the Tesla Robotaxi in Austin will have no safety monitor by end of 2025. No other human in the car which means Tesla robotaxi can scale to about 10 cities with thousands of cars each by mid 2026. Elon Musk greenlighting car production with autonomy solved means tens of thousands of Cybercabs each month in 2026. Those cybercabs will be deployed as Robotaxi. Solved robotaxi without safety drivers or safety monitors in multiple cities by mid-2026 means full robotaxi with 100,000 to 1 million mix of cybercab and Tesla owners in the network by the end of…

Fujifilm X-T30 III: two-minute reviewFujifilm has updated its beginner mirrorless camera for photographers with the new X-T30 III, which comes four years after the Fujifilm X-T30 II.It launches alongside a tiny new XF 13-33mm f/3.5-6.3 OIS kit lens (that’s a 20-50mm effective focal length) that’s smaller and lighter than the 15-45mm, the previous kit lens packaged with Fujifilm’s low-cost cameras. The portable pair weigh just 17.7oz / 503g combined.Going…
Dot, an AI companion app that aimed to be a friend and confidante, is shutting down, the company announced on Friday. On a message published on its website, the startup behind Dot, New Computer, said that the product will remain operational until October 5, giving users time to download their data. Launched in 2024 by co-founders Sam Whitmore and former Apple designer Jason Yuan, Dot waded into what’s now become a more controversial area for AI chatbots. The app they created was described as an AI “friend and companion,” which would become more personalized to you and your interests over…
Apple tends to gloss over a lot of features whenever it reveals a major OS update, but that’s understandable. Its press events would run at least twice as long otherwise, and not every feature is relevant to all users. If you’re not into weightlifting or running, you’re probably not that invested in the latest Workout apps. Likewise, Live Translation with FaceTime or AirPods aren’t going to matter if you don’t travel much, or don’t have friends and family from other countries. If you have an iPhone with iOS 26, there’s a security feature that almost everyone should turn on: Advanced…
Presented by ArmA simpler software stack is the key to portable, scalable AI across cloud and edge. AI is now powering real-world applications, yet fragmented software stacks are holding it back. Developers routinely rebuild the same models for different hardware targets, losing time to glue code instead of shipping features. The good news is that a shift is underway. Unified toolchains and optimized libraries are making it possible to deploy models across platforms without compromising performance.Yet one critical hurdle remains: software complexity. Disparate tools, hardware-specific optimizations, and layered tech stacks continue to bottleneck progress. To unlock the next wave of…
Most people wouldn’t give Geobacter sulfurreducens a second look. The bacteria was first discovered in a ditch in rural Oklahoma. But the lowly microbe has a superpower. It grows protein nanotubes that transmit electrical signals and uses them to communicate.These bacterial wires are now the basis of a new artificial neuron that activates, learns, and responds to chemical signals like a real neuron.Scientists have long wanted to mimic the brain’s computational efficiency. But despite years of engineering, artificial neurons still operate at much higher voltages than natural ones. Their frustratingly noisy signals require an extra step to boost fidelity, undercutting…
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could be one of the best phones of 2026, if rumours are anything to go by. Samsung is rumoured to be hard at work on the 2026 flagship behind closed doors, with rumours suggesting key upgrades in design, camera tech, performance, and even battery life that, combined, could maintain Samsung’s dominance at the top end of the Android smartphone market. Here’s everything there is to know about the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra right now, including both rumours and leaks. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra rumours at a glance: Similar design to S25 Ultra, but thinner 6.9-inch…
Pinecone, arguably the company most synonymous with the fast-growing vector database industry powering many generative AI large language model (LLM) data deployments in the enterprise, has announced the next stage of the company.On Monday, the New York City-based startup delcared that its founder and longtime CEO, Edo Liberty, will move into a new role as Chief Scientist. Taking his place at the helm as CEO is Ash Ashutosh, a former Google global sales director and veteran entrepreneur with four decades of experience in data infrastructure. In a bid to showcase the power of its vector database technology and framework for…
Mounting one of the best dash cams on your windscreen can be one of the most valuable in-car upgrades you can make, as it will keep its eyes on the road ahead (and behind as well, depending on the model) to ensure you’re protected should anything bad happen while you’re driving.Fortunately, you don’t need to spend a fortune to get a top-performing model, as the Miofive S1 proves. It’s maintained a prime spot on our list of the best dash cams in Australia for its ability to record clear 4K footage without breaking the bank. That’s now especially the case…
