I would like to believe that we are still far from AI singularity, but based on the current status of what AI is capable of, things are pretty compelling and often scary. Google is now apparently working on a new project that can just look at your photos and talk about your entire life. I know the idea does sound compelling but scary at the same time.

Do […]

Tech giant Google's legal troubles are starting to mount, with 2023 coming to a close as it lost a lawsuit filed against it by Epic Games for monopolizing the Android application ecosystem. Google's Google Play is the dominant application for downloading software on Android gadgets. Epic's lawsuit claimed that the firm illegally monopolized not only the Android app ecosystem but also payment methods on the software platform. In response, Google claimed that it is competing with Apple for users and has been forced to reduce its prices to prevent customer churn - behavior that goes against a monopoly, according to […]
We saw the OnePlus 12 debut in China last week, and pretty soon, it will be making its way to international markets as well. However, if the latest images are to go by, it appears that there are some quality control-related issues that are bothering some users who have already gotten their hands on the device. Users are reporting gaps in the OnePlus 12's frame, along with some other quality control issues Don't get me wrong, the OnePlus 12 is a stellar phone with excellent specs. There is just one thing about a device: it needs to have a good […]
