Anker has come up with a clever design for a new 65W charger that’s thin enough to squeeze between larger power adapters on a power strip, potentially making an over-crowded outlet useable again. Thin chargers aren’t a new idea, but they typically feature a set of folding prongs on...

But for a very visual-sounding demo, Gemini Live is surprisingly sparse on visuals. As it comes up with ideas for keeping kids entertained, there are no pictures or references — it’s really like she’s just chatting with an acquaintance on the phone.

The live demo of Gemini Live is going off without a hitch.

We got a chuckle as one of the generative AI options in the Magic Editor demo produced two normal-looking hot air balloons and a weird one that looked like a cross between a loaf of bread and a basketball. AI, everybody!

Flipboard is making good on a major fediverse promise. Late last year, at the same time it announced it would be switching user accounts to ActivityPub, Flipboard said it planned to let users follow users on federated platforms that used ActivityPub from the Flipboard app. Starting Tuesday, that feature is here, meaning that you can follow people from places like Mastodon, Threads, and Pixelfed right inside Flipboard.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

A lawsuit that several artists filed against Stability AI, Midjourney, and other AI-related companies can proceed with some claims dismissed, a judge ruled yesterday. Many artists allege that popular generative AI services violated copyright law by training on a dataset that included their works and, in some cases, that users of these services can directly reproduce copies of the work. Last year, Judge William Orrick allowed a direct copyright infringement complaint against Stability, operator of the popular Stable Diffusion AI image generator. But he dismissed a variety of other claims and asked the artists’ attorneys to amend them with more detail.

Even four years on, Sony’s WH-1000XM4 remain a stalwart choice among wireless noise-canceling headphones — especially now that they’ve returned to their lowest price of about $198 ($150 off) at Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy. That’s thanks in large part to their very good sound quality (which may be just a touch bass-y, to be fair), up to 30 hours of battery life, and some mighty fine active noise cancellation. They’re also comfy enough to wear for long sessions, and unlike their replacement model, the WH-1000XM5, they fold down for easier travel and commuting.
