Android 17 is fixing one of the most irritating parts of using your phone, its internet controls. If you’ve ever tried to switch off Wi-Fi quickly and got pulled into an extra menu instead, this update is aimed right at that moment. In Android 17 Beta 3, Google is changing how those toggles work in Quick Settings. Instead of grouping everything under a single tile, the system now separates Wi-Fi and mobile data, so you can manage each one without going through another screen. It’s a small interface tweak, but it clears up a long-standing usability issue that’s been slowing…

(NOTE: This article is part of an ongoing series documenting an experiment with using AI to fill the NCAA brackets and see how it fares against years of human experience. The original article is as follows.) A week ago, I wrote about entering an NCAA tournament pool with a more disciplined process than I usually use. Instead of relying on mascots, vibes, or whatever team happened to look great on Saturday afternoon, I tried to think about the bracket the way an investor or analyst would: separate raw forecasting from expected value, build one bracket around the highest probability of success, build another…

Apple is reportedly preparing one of the most significant changes to Siri in years, with plans to open its voice assistant to third-party AI services as part of the upcoming iOS 27 update. The move signals a major shift in Apple’s artificial intelligence strategy, transforming Siri from a closed assistant into a broader AI platform that can integrate with competing technologies. A Shift Toward An Open AI Ecosystem According to a Bloomberg report by Gurman, Apple intends to allow Siri to route user queries to external AI assistants beyond its current ChatGPT integration, potentially including services like Google’s Gemini or…

DJI has officially entered the 360° drone arena with the launch of the Avata 360. It’s the company’s first-ever fully immersive FPV drone, and a direct shot at the Antigravity A1, a rival built by an Insta360-incubated brand. Looks like the drone wars just got more interesting.  What makes the Avata 360 worth looking at? Quite a lot. The Avata 360 is equipped with DJI’s 1-inch imaging sensor, capable of recording videos at up to 8K in 60fps, which is already one step ahead of the Antigravity A1, which maxes out at 8K at 30 fps. If that’s not enough,…

This isn’t really news anymore, but it’s a repeating cycle. So, here we are, again. Netflix has just — quietly, mind you — raised the price of its subscription bundles. For starters, the base tier that occasionally throws a few ads in your face now costs $8.99 per month, up from the $7.99 monthly fee. What else is going up? In the natural order of things, “thou shalt pay more to see fewer ads.” Netflix is living by that code pretty seriously. Naturally, it has hiked the price of its Standard and Premium plans, too, ones that spare you the…

In typical Motorola fashion, the Razr series has leaked once again, and this time we’re getting our first proper look at the Razr 70 Ultra. The renders come courtesy of XpertPick, in collaboration with Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as OnLeaks on X (formerly Twitter). Is there anything fresh here? The Motorola Razr 70 Ultra isn’t really shaking things up. According to Steve Hemmerstoffer, it’s said to measure around 9.6mm thick, including the camera bump, and about 17.63mm when folded, cameras included. So, don’t expect it to feel any different in hand compared to last year’s Razr 60 Ultra. And visually…

Google is bringing one of its best AI-powered Google Translate features to iPhone users at last. Live Translate with headphones is now rolling out on iOS, months after its debut on Android in December.

Four astronauts are about to embark on a historic voyage that will take them around the moon in a spacecraft about the size of a large camper van. During the Artemis II mission, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen, will spend 10 days inside the Orion capsule after being blasted to space by the SLS rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, hopefully next week. As many astronauts have noted over the years, the question they’re asked more than any other is: “How do astronauts use the bathroom in…
