Why is ‘Other’ in my iPhone storage taking up so much space and how do I clear it?

If you’re an iPhone user, check your storage now by selecting Settings, then General, and then iPhone Storage. You’ll probably see a lot of recognizable categories eating up your storage — apps, photos, and so on. But there is one, often rather large category, that may raise concerns: “Other”. It’s shaded light grey and often represents a significant proportion of the overall storage available. There is one, often rather large... Read more â€ș

OpenAI’s new image generator sparks both excitement and fear

OpenAI has unveiled a new AI tool that turns text into images — and the results are stunning. Named DALL-E 2, the system is the successor to a model unveiled last year. While its predecessor generated some outputs, the new version is a major upgrade. This picture in the style of Claude Monet illustrates the improvements. Credit: OpenAI DALL-E-2 adds enhanced textual comprehension, faster image generation, and four times greater... Read more â€ș

Google says it classifies AI-generated content as ‘spam’

All the publishers and editors out there thinking of replacing their journalists with AI might want to pump their brakes. Everybody’s boss, the Google algorithm, classifies AI-generated content as spam. John Mueller, Google’s SEO authority, laid the issue to rest while speaking at a recent “Google Search Central SEO office-hours hangout.” Per a report from Search Engine Journal’s Matt Southern, Mueller says GPT-3 and other content generators are not considered...

6 big announcements Elon Musk made at Tesla’s Gigafactory opening in Texas

Tesla’s “Cyber Rodeo” party, a grand opening event for the company’s new gigafactory in Texas, had a flamboyance and excessiveness to match Elon Musk’s personality. Fireworks were shot and thousands of drones were deployed in the sky to form a map of the state of Texas, the Cybertruck, and a Shiba Inu dog. Elon gloriously entered the stage wearing a stupid cowboy hat and riding a first-generation Roadster — mind... Read more â€ș

Your brain shrinks as you age — and now scientists can prove it

Scientists have long understood that the human brain changes in size as we age, but until now there’s never been a method by which we can chart its growth. An international team of researchers led by Cambridge University’s Richard Bethlehem recently published the world’s first growth chart for brains. Up front: How are you supposed to tell if your brain is growing properly? It’s an important question. And we’ve had... Read more â€ș

What do we mean when we say ‘free’ public transport? 

There’s a lot of attention right now on the idea of making public transport free. In the first instance, you might think it’s a no-brainer. You can ride public trains, trams, buses, and ferries at no charge. That sounds too good to be true, but they’re a reality in many parts of the world. Over 100 cities have some form of free public transport, but there are many different models... Read more â€ș

People donating to Ukrainians through Airbnb shows the sharing economy’s not all bad

As desirable vacation destinations go, war-torn Ukraine must surely rate low. But in the first month of Russia’s invasion, Airbnb bookings in Ukraine boomed, as people around the world used the accommodation platform to channel more than US$15 million in donations to the country. As with other forms of direct donation, using Airbnb to channel aid to Ukraine has been problematic. The company was relatively quick to waive the 20%... Read more â€ș

The ‘futuristic’ sci-fi inventions that inspired modern-day tech

I love Star Trek. Or more precisely, I really love the 80s, 90s and 00s Trek. Nothing is more soothing to me than the low hum of the Enterprise D, with Data and Geordi La Forge discussing the alignment of dilithium crystals in their coveted warp core. While most of Star Trek’s ‘technobabble’ is intricately thought out nonsense, it’s no secret that early sci-fi has had a huge influence on... Read more â€ș

Sorry, hacking EV chargers to show porn is just passé

EV owners got more than they bargained for when they tried to juice up their cars this week on the Isle of Wight, UK. Three charging points — which were supposed to display the website of the council’s charging network — were hacked to show porn. The issue was brought up by the affected drivers to local paper Country Press, which then reached out to the council. A spokesperson rushed... Read more â€ș

Here’s why our society needs mobility as-a-service

I recently attended the Autonomy Mobility Conference in Paris. A great 2-day experience filled with keynotes and great conversations all centred on what’s next in mobility. This is what I learned. First of all, I found it quite fitting that the conference took place in Paris. The mobility landscape of the French capital has been radically transformed during the past two years, and it really shows that the future of... Read more â€ș

We’re in 2022, so grabbing text from a website or a document should be pretty easy, right? But that’s not always the case.

It’s 2022, so why is USB-C still so damn complicated?

If you have two similar-looking USB-C to C cables, chances are that you might not be able to tell anything about their capabilities by just looking at them. The USB-C standard can handle a lot of things: charging, data transfer, and audio and video streaming. But not all USB-C cables are made alike. When I bought my M1-powered MacBook Air, I was excited about carrying only one charger to juice... Read more â€ș

AI sucks at telling jokes — but it’s great at analyzing them

Have you heard the one about the algorithm that tells hilarious jokes? Me neither — but I have seen AI gags bomb like US presidents. Stand-up robots, improvised joke generators, Q&A pun systems, and android bartenders have all failed to make me laugh. “You can get a rum and coke anywhere,” Brian Connors, a hospitality professor, told the Miami Herald, “but how often are you going to get it from...

Why Toyota’s camera-only approach to self-driving is a bad idea

Last May, Tesla stuck the middle finger to the entire auto industry, deeming the use of multiple sensors for autonomous driving functionalities
 unnecessary. It ditched radars and initiated a camera-only approach, dubbed “Tesla Vision.” And while we’re used to Elon’s unorthodox methods, Toyota’s decision to follow suit is definitely surprising. The car maker’s self-driving subsidiary Woven Planet will be the second company to adopt a vision-based strategy in pursuit of... Read more â€ș

Experts explain why cyberattacks haven’t played a huge role in the Russian/Ukraine war

Throughout the latter half of 2021, as it became clear that Russia was massing a large portion of its conventional combat power on the eastern borders of Ukraine, analysts offered contrasting predictions about the role cyberspace would play in an armed conflict. These predictions capture an ongoing debate about whether conflict in cyberspace is destined to supplant conventional conflict or exacerbate it. As the war has evolved, it’s clear that...

Why solid-state lithium-metal batteries could revolutionize the EV industry

Conventional lithium-ion batteries may have sown the seeds for our transition to electric mobility, but they have certain shortcomings. They’re flammable, their range is still limited, and they’re not as quick to charge as we’d like them to be. Making EVs more competitive with gas-guzzlers will require remedies for these issues, and to achieve this we need a breakthrough in battery technology. That’s where lithium-metal batteries come in.

In a world where checking your phone 96 times a day is the norm for some, it’s hard to imagine a life without the internet.
