Google just dropped a new iOS app today with no official announcement. The app, first spotted by 9to5Google, is called Google AI Edge Eloquent. It is an offline-first voice dictation tool that transcribes your speech in real time, automatically strips filler words, and delivers clean, polished text. Google Eloquent is completely free without any subscription or usage cap. How does Google AI Edge Eloquent work? You just have to open the app, hit record, and start talking. A live waveform tracks your voice as a real-time transcription appears on screen. When you stop, the app automatically processes everything. Filler words…
Having just looped around the moon in a historic flyby of our nearest neighbor, the Artemis II crew are now on their way back to Earth. NASA’s Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Christina Koch, along with the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen, launched aboard the Orion spacecraft from the Kennedy Space Center on April 1, lifted to space by the mighty SLS rocket. The mission is on course to last 10 days, culminating in a splashdown off the coast of California. Artemis II is testing out the systems of the Orion in preparation for a crewed lunar landing in the…
Your smartwatch might be more capable than you think. Researchers at Cornell University and KAIST in South Korea have developed a system called WatchHand that turns any regular smartwatch into a hand-tracking device. The best part is that it doesn’t require any extra hardware to do so. According to the published paper, the technology uses AI-powered micro sonar to read your hand movements and finger positions in real time, and it works using hardware your watch already has. So, how does WatchHand actually work? Your smartwatch has a built-in speaker and microphone. WatchHand puts both to work in a way…
A growing number of Pixel 8 Pro owners are dealing with a serious Wi-Fi bug after the March update, with some devices losing connectivity altogether. What started as scattered complaints has turned into a centralized Reddit megathread where affected users are comparing notes and tracking patterns. This goes beyond occasional drops. Reports describe Wi-Fi shutting off, failing to detect networks, and refusing to reconnect even after restarts. Bluetooth and mobile data issues are also appearing, pointing to a broader connectivity failure. Common fixes aren’t helping. Factory resets, safe mode, and beta builds leave the behavior unchanged. A restart may restore…
Baseus has launched the PicoGo Air in China, and it’s making a strong case for being the slimmest companion your phone could ask for. At just 6.9mm thin, this magnetic power bank is designed for people who want the extra juice without the bulk. The PicoGo Air packs a 5,000mAh rated capacity, which is enough to give your phone a solid top-up when you need it the most. It supports 15W magnetic wireless charging and 22.5W wired fast charging, which is good enough for a slim power bank like this one. What makes it more than a slim power bank?…
There’s a certain comfort in downloading an app that millions of others already use. If it’s trending, topping charts, and splashed across your feed, it must be safe… right? Not quite. A new warning from the FBI suggests that some of the most popular apps on your smartphone — yes, the ones you casually installed during a late-night scroll — could be quietly collecting far more data than you ever intended to share. And the concern isn’t limited to one country. It’s global, messy, and a lot closer to home than it sounds. The problem isn’t the app — it’s…
If you’ve been following NASA’s latest moon mission, you’ve probably seen headlines about everything from the floating iPhone in Artemis II to its advanced toilet system. And it seems like wearable makers are also capitalizing on this hype, with CircuitMess just announcing a quirky gadget. Meet NASA Artemis Watch 2.0, a new smartwatch that brings a retro-futuristic look. What’s so cool about this one? NASA Artemis Watch 2.0 features a transparent rectangular body, and the design is easily the main attraction here. It has that chunky, sci-fi gadget body that looks more like a prop from an old-school space adventure…
New rumors have started the chatter of a new Galaxy Pro flagship phone once again, and this immediately makes sense to me—but it’s not for flattering reasons. Samsung may be adding a fourth Galaxy S27 model next year, with a “Pro” variant expected to sit right below the top-of-the-line S27 Ultra. This model essentially bridges the gap between the standard and Ultra Galaxy phones with high-end features, minus the S Pen. Some of these premium features could include the S26 Ultra’s new Privacy Display feature. All of this sounds smart on paper, but it also sounds like acceptance. After spending…
Indoor wireless is hitting limits as more devices crowd the same spectrum. Streaming, video calls, and smart home gear are pushing networks harder while power use rises. A new class of laser chips offers a different path by moving data onto light. Researchers built a chip-scale optical link that delivers ultra-fast indoor connections with lower energy use. Instead of broadcasting signals widely, it sends data through controlled infrared beams, opening more usable capacity while avoiding interference in dense spaces. At the core is a chip with 25 microscopic lasers, each carrying its own stream. Working in parallel, they push throughput…
