Image Credit: Kevin Keith, FacebookMicrosoft pushes Play Anywhere as a key part of its pitch. The idea sounds awesome: play games across devices in one ecosystem. Yet one problem still bugs me.

The rising memory costs are having quite an impact on the Bill of Materials (BoM) for smartphones. The different tiers are affected differently and low-end phones (sub-$200) are hit the hardest. When building a typical low-end phone with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage, manufacturers will have to spend a whopping 43% of the phone’s…

A while back, Google revealed that it was working on “Ask Photos”, an AI-powered search feature which lets users find specific images within their Google Photos library by using natural language prompts. With that in mind though, it looks like the company is aware that not all users are keen on using Ask Photos to search for their pictures. Posting on her official social media page, Google’s General Manager for Google Photos Shimrit Ben-Yair mentioned that users will now get a toggle to disable the Ask Photos feature. She states: We’ve heard your feedback that you want more control over…

DJISome days I feel like my life runs on autopilot—school runs, deadlines, dinner, repeat. And the smart gadgets in my house help keep everything moving. My robot vacuum, for example, handles the floors while I work. For that reason, news about the DJI robot vacuum hack was a bit unsettling.At first glance, the story sounds almost unbelievable: a curious tech tinkerer experimenting with his own vacuum accidentally discovered he could access a network of thousands of connected robot vacuums. Not just basic controls either—things like camera feeds and navigation data from other vacuums connected to the same cloud system.DJI Romo…
