OpenAI first announced plans to introduce an automated age-prediction system for ChatGPT in September last year, aimed at helping the AI chatbot distinguish between teens and adults.

The system is designed to identify users under 18 and automatically redirect them to a more age-appropriate ChatGPT experience. According to OpenAI, the age-prediction model “looks at a combination of behavioural and account-level signals, including how long an account has existed, typical times of day when someone is active, usage…
Having tested lots of the best Android tablets over many years, I’ve become well acquainted with how Google’s operating system works on large-screen devices. I like some of them, and I’m a a regular user of Android myself – but the fact that my go-to tablet for personal use remains an iPad Pro says it all. The best Android phones remain some of the most-anticipated mobiles each year, yet historically, iPad has remained the dominant tablet force. I’ve just come off of a month of testing the OnePlus Pad Go 2, which should be a tempting iPad alternative due to…
We recently got a peek at the potential color options Samsung may offer for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, that leak appears to have missed a couple of colorways. Now, a fresh leak has revealed the full lineup and their official names.

But trusted tipster Evan Blass now claims that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could launch in six finishes, officially named Black, White, Silver Shadow, Sky Blue, Cobalt Violet, and Pink Gold. Speaking of Samsung, the Galaxy S26 Ultra…

Evernote used to be among the best note-taking apps, but a messy update released back in 2020 and a steep price hike at the end of 2023 drove many users to alternatives like Google Keep and Apple Notes. Today, with the launch of Evernote v11, developer Bending Spoons is aiming for a comeback and, as expected, is banking heavily on new AI features to win users back. The most notable addition in the latest release is an AI Assistant that, much like ChatGPT and Gemini, lets users search and retrieve content from a chat window, modify or generate new content,…

While no official confirmation…
It honestly feels like the end of an era. Sony, the company that practically invented the modern premium TV market, is effectively handing over the keys to its most iconic hardware division. In a move that would have been unthinkable twenty years ago, Sony is selling a 51% controlling stake in its home entertainment business—yes, that includes the legendary Bravia brand—to Chinese giant TCL. If you needed proof that the global TV landscape has completely flipped, this is it The End of Japanese Dominance: For a long time, “Made in Japan” was the gold standard for TVs. We watched Toshiba,…

Laptop deals are usually small discounts on underpowered configs, or big discounts on models that already feel dated. This one is different because it cuts the price on a modern, everyday premium machine in a way that actually changes the decision. The Microsoft Surface Laptop (Copilot+ PC, 13.8-inch touchscreen, Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, 7th edition) is $849.99, which is $350 off the $1,199.99 compared value. If you’ve been waiting for a “buy once, use it for years” Windows laptop price to come back down to earth, this is the kind of markdown that makes sense. What you’re…
