Since the pandemic, working from home has become the new norm, but there’ll be a pinch of sadness when we eventually go back to the office. On the upside we’ll see our colleagues again and we’ll stop wearing pj’s all day long, but on the downside we’ll lose a significant benefit: the lack of commuting. A survey by Hubble showed that 79% of respondents consider the lack of commute as... Read more ›

It’s hard to miss the flashing lights of fire engines, ambulances, and police cars ahead of you as you’re driving down the road. But in at least 11 cases in the past three and a half years, Tesla’s Autopilot advanced driver-assistance system did just that. This led to 11 accidents in which Teslas crashed into emergency vehicles or other vehicles at those scenes, resulting in 17 injuries, and one death.... Read more ›

Google Play Store ratings can be a helpful indicator when you’re comparing similar apps while deciding which one to download. But reviews and ratings of an app from all over the world might not be useful for you. So Google is changing things up. Starting November, it will display local ratings of an app on Android. Notably, local would mean the country your device and account are registered in. This... Read more ›

Remember the time when Facebook forced us to download Messenger to chat with friends make calls? Now, the company wants to bring video and voice calling back to the main app. According to a report from Bloomberg, starting this week, some users will be able to make voice and video calls directly from the app. While currently, this is just a test, the company said this feature will “reduce the...

Prominent leaker Marc Gurman is at it again with another Apple rumor. This time around he’s corroborating earlier reports of a new Mac Mini with a few more details: it’ll come with more ports, a new design, and the M1X processor. And it’s coming “in the next several months.” The information comes from Gurman’s Power On newsletter; here’s the relevant quote in full: The Mac mini is used for more... Read more ›

I haven’t been a huge fan of OnePlus’ various earbuds so far. They’ve either been uncomfortable, had poor controls, or didn’t sound that great. The one thing they’ve always had going for them is a low price tag. The OnePlus Buds Pro, the company’s first model with noise-canceling — which are clearly ‘inspired’ by the AirPods Pro — finally get it right. Well, mostly. But at $150, it’s hard to... Read more ›

The universe started with a Big Bang. Everything that was ever going to be anything was compacted into a tiny ball of whatever-ness and then it exploded outward and the universe begin expanding. At least, that’s one way of looking at it. But emergent new theories and ages-old philosophical assertions are beginning to find a foothold in cutting-edge quantum physics research. And it’s beginning to look more and more like... Read more ›

NASA’s Perseverance rover may be hogging the headlines, but its predecessor is also capturing new insights about Mars. Since August 2012, the Curiosity buggy has been studying whether the red planet could have once supported microbial life. To mark the rover’s ninth year on Mars, NASA has created a 360-degree tour of Curiosity’s current home on Mount Sharp. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSSThe car-sized rover was designed to explore Mars’ Gale crater. The... Read more ›

The growing use of emotion recognition AI is causing alarm among ethicists. They warn that the tech is prone to racial biases, doesn’t account for cultural differences, and is used for mass surveillance. Some argue that AI isn’t even capable of accurately detecting emotions. A new study published in Nature Communications has shone further light on these shortcomings. The researchers analyzed photos of actors to examine whether facial movements reliably... Read more ›

They found vulnerabilities in Project EV, Wallbox, EVBox, EO Charging’s EO Hub and EO mini pro... Read more ›

For startup founders, passion for the product comes naturally. You’re probably your first customer, and so it’s easy to build something that you think customers will want. But when it comes to growing your business, designing great products requires more than your own intuition. It requires establishing a customer-obsessed mindset. In my first startup, we were building a platform to buy and sell solar renewable energy credits. It was a... Read more ›

Have you ever wondered if you’re just a character in some elaborate simulation? You shake the thought off because you’re a real person, living a real-life, in a concrete reality. But can you be certain that you are? Isn’t it at least possible that your body and that the world around you are nothing but illusions? This is the conundrum that Guy, played by Ryan Reynolds, finds himself in the... Read more ›

With the launch of Paramount+, Australian consumers of video streaming are arguably drowning in choice. We now have more than a dozen “subscription video on demand” services to choose from, with dozens of more options available worldwide to anyone with a VPN to get around geoblocks. But all this competition isn’t actually making things easier. It’s likely all this “choice” will see more of us turning to piracy to watch... Read more ›

One of the biggest tech news of last week was OnlyFans banning porn content. The video streaming platform said at that time it has taken this decision to “ensure the long-term sustainability.” As my colleague, Napier pointed out, this move is dumb. It comes in the wake of payment processors bullying the platform into banning sexually explicit content for a ‘clean’ image. However, porn is one of the most popular... Read more ›

On August 17, TikTok announced it will partner with Audius, a streaming music platform, to manage its expansive internal audio library. Audius was not the obvious choice for partnering with the short video giant. A digital music streaming startup founded in 2018, it isn’t one of the major streaming services such as Apple Music or Spotify. And, even more unusual, Audius is one of the first and only streaming platforms... Read more ›
