At one point in the past, the phrase “When GM sneezes, the US catches a cold” was bantered around to signify how much of the economy was dominated by car manufacturers. The phrase was a modification of an older version, “When America sneezes, the world catches a cold.” Setting aside the idiom “catch a cold” for now, the phrase recognized the disproportionate economic influence the United States has on the rest of the world. At this point in the current AI cycle (there have been others in the past), Generative AI (GenAI) has certainly taken over a significant portion of…

The first big change is with all of the software naming. Instead of iOS 19, Apple has moved to a year naming system. So it’s iOS 26. That applies to all of the other software versions.

Thinking of buying smart blinds? I recently installed the Bringnox Motorized Zebra Roller Blinds—my first smart blinds ever—in my city apartment. Keep reading for my in-depth, hands-on review of the product.I live in a city apartment that was built in 1967. It’s retro, but I’m a sucker for era-specific details: arched doorways, mid-century lines, even a built-in walnut bar make me swoon. But I’m less crazy about the home’s old hand-cranked wooden shutters. They’re charming, sure, but opening them every morning is an extra chore (and an arm workout I didn’t sign up for). Long story short, I’ve been eyeing…

Ice Universe was right – the Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Edge will only support 25W wired charging. The leakster said so last week and now there is evidence as China’s 3C certified the three models. Here’s how it goes. The Galaxy S26 Pro (SM-S9420) and Galaxy S26 Edge (SM-S9470) max out at 9V 2.77A. That works out to 25W and is the same as the S25 and S25 Edge. The Galaxy S26 Ultra (SM-S9480) supports 10V 4.5A or 15V 3A, both of which equate to 45W. Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro, S26 Edge and S26 Ultra certifications…

More than 200 contractors who worked on evaluating and improving Google’s AI products have been laid off without warning in at least two rounds of layoffs last month. The move comes amid an ongoing fight over pay and working conditions, according to workers who spoke to WIRED.In the past few years, Google has outsourced its AI rating work—which includes evaluating, editing, or rewriting the Gemini chatbot’s response to make it sound more human and “intelligent”—to thousands of contractors employed by Hitachi-owned GlobalLogic and other outsourcing companies. Most raters working at GlobalLogic are based in the US and deal with English-language…
