Since true wireless earbuds came on the scene, I have reviewed plenty of them. Over the last several years, I’ve consistently reviewed a different pair every month. From sports earbuds to HIFI buds, solar-powered buds, bone conduction, wraparound, and clip-style, they have all made their way to my ears as I listen at home and on the go. Some buds excel in sound quality; others at noise-cancelling. A few of them boast incredible battery life, offer tons of sound and touch-control personalization features in a companion app, or employ design or technical enhancements that set them apart from the pack.…
Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade is an unapologetically American tradition, larger than life and as beloved as it is eclectic, contradictory and utterly perplexing. Nothing signifies gratitude to friends and family quite like a procession of 34 balloons, 4 balloonicles, 28 floats, 14 specialty units, 33 clown groups and 11 marching bands, themed primarily around film and TV characters… and candy, toys and commercials.The 2025 edition will incoporate seven new floats, including one carrying a Demogorgon in a nod to Stranger Things season 5, and five new balloons, depicting PAC-MAN, Buzz Lightyear and more, which will float along the familiar path from…
OpenAI is seemingly allowing the company behind a teddy bear that engaged in wildly inappropriate conversations to use its AI models again. In response to researchers at a safety group finding that the toymaker’s AI-powered teddy bear “Kumma” gave dangerous responses for children, OpenAI said in mid-November it had suspended FoloToy’s access to its large language models. The teddy bear was running the ChatGPT maker’s older GPT-4o as its default option when it gave some of its most egregious replies, which included in-depth explanations of sexual fetishes. Now that suspension appears to already be over. When accessing the web portal…

Honor Magic8 Ultra’s 3C certification The device was spotted on China’s 3C certification agency with the BKQ-AN20 model number. In addition to the listing, tipster Digital Chat Station shared that the Magic8 Ultra will be…
Microsoft’s AI chatbot Copilot will no longer be available on WhatsApp after January 15, the company has shared. After that date, users on WhatsApp won’t be able to chat with the AI unless they switch to Microsoft’s own Copilot mobile apps or use the chatbot via the web. The company explained it’s removing Copilot from the popular messaging app to comply with WhatsApp’s revised platform policies, which were announced last month. At the time, the Meta-owned messenger said it would no longer support general-purpose AI chatbots from using its WhatsApp Business API to serve their customers. Instead, it wanted to…
WhatsApp announced upcoming changes to its terms of service, which will prohibit users from using non-Meta AI chatbots. This means that any third-party chatbot will no longer be allowed inside the messaging app. The change goes into effect on January 15th, 2026, which is also the last date that WhatsApp Business users will be able to use ChatGPT, Copilot and any other non-Meta AI chatbot inside the messaging app. OpenAI first announced its departure from WhatsApp last month, while Microsoft confirmed that Copilot will no longer be available inside WhatsApp earlier this week. There is a small exception for businesses…
Researchers at Alibaba’s Tongyi Lab have developed a new framework for self-evolving agents that create their own training data by exploring their application environments. The framework, AgentEvolver, uses the knowledge and reasoning capabilities of large language models for autonomous learning, addressing the high costs and manual effort typically required to gather task-specific datasets.Experiments show that compared to traditional reinforcement learning–based frameworks, AgentEvolver is more efficient at exploring its environment, makes better use of data, and adapts faster to application environments. For the enterprise, this is significant because it lowers the barrier to training agents for bespoke applications, making powerful, custom…

Nothing Phone 3 two-minute reviewAfter several years of standing at the edge of the pool and occasionally dipping its toes in, British phone maker Nothing has finally decided to jump into the cold lido that is the premium smartphone market. Perhaps it took those “no running” signs too literally, because while the Nothing Phone 3 is one of the best Android phones I’ve tested recently, it hasn’t made enough…
Joe Maring / Android AuthorityTL;DR Samsung’s been testing One UI 8.5 internally, but has yet to get a public beta underway. Multiple sources now suggest that Samsung’s One UI 8.5 beta could formally launch on December 8. Following that, we could also get Beta 2 in late December, and Beta 3 in early January. By this point, it’s got to be pretty frustrating being a Samsung Galaxy user who keeps hearing about all the great stuff being implemented in One UI 8.5 — and yet you still don’t have the chance to try any of it out. We’ve been tracking…
