Back in October, we got an early look at a new device setup workflow in Google Home. The revamped workflow gives you more ways to connect to third-party devices, letting you search by brand name to find both apps and devices to connect to Google’s smart home platform. Now, it looks like that update is finally rolling out. We’ve started seeing this setup process on our own devices with public-facing builds of the Google Home app. Previously, to pair a smart device with Google Home, you had to either scan a QR code on the device or hope Home could detect…

Scientists have discovered over 6,000 planets that orbit stars other than our Sun, known as exoplanets. More than half of these planets were discovered thanks to data from NASA’s retired Kepler mission and NASA’s current TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission. However, the enormous treasure trove of data from these missions still contains many yet-to-be-discovered planets. All of the data from both missions is publicly available in NASA archives, and many teams around the world have used that data to find new planets using a number of techniques. In 2021, a team from NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon…

Summary The Take a Message feature can accidentally stream your mic to callers. Disable Take a Message in Phone > Settings > Take a Message to avoid the issue. Google is aware of the problem and is investigating. Last year, alongside the release of the Pixel 10 lineup, Google announced a new feature called “Take a Message.” The feature is essentially an AI-powered voicemail — rather than the call ringing out and the caller leaving a message, an AI assistant answers the phone, tells them you’re unavailable, and asks to take a message, which is transcribed in real time. After…

While a surprise, Apple Creator Studio, Apple’s new subscription bundle of professional creative apps for the Mac and iPad, isn’t all that out of character. The company makes a significant amount of money from “services,” the revenue raked in from things like in-app purchases and subscriptions to Apple TV. It’s also tested turning some former products into services when it made the iPad versions of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro subscription-based, rather than one-time purchases. Creator Studio is a natural extension of that logic. But by bundling apps and introducing at least one exclusively to subscribers, Apple is also…

According to one wild simulation, it’s exactly what’s happening right now in Minneapolis. In October 2024, researchers at the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law (CERL) at the University of Pennsylvania conducted an experiment in which a president ordered a widely condemned federal law enforcement operation in the city of brotherly love. To carry out the operation, the simulated president tried to federalize the Pennsylvania national guard, which the governor resisted. National guard troops who sided with…
