Every week, the AI music problem is getting increasingly hard to ignore, especially for streaming platforms. Deezer reported that 44% of all new music uploaded to its platform daily is now AI-generated; that’s almost half the songs. Spotify relabeled and tightened its AI policies last September, while Apple Music announced a tagging approach in March. However, the subscription-based artist-first music platform Tidal has done something none of them did.  We’re a music platform that puts artists and listeners first. To protect artists and keep listeners informed, here’s how we’re handling AI-generated music on Tidal beginning on July 15:– 100% AI-generated…

The real challenge starts after the code is written  The most visible part of the AI boom is easy to recognize. A developer types a prompt, and something functional appears on the screen. A feature comes together faster than it used to, or a product moves forward without the same delays that once defined early development. That moment gets attention because it feels immediate and contained.   What happens next is less controlled. Once software exists, it has to run somewhere. It needs to live inside a system that keeps changing as the company does, which means every new release carries a set of decisions that don’t stay…

Comcast’s breakup sounds like an alarm bell for Peacock, Xfinity, and the monthly internet bill. At the service level, the answer is calmer. Current customers shouldn’t expect subscriptions, billing, or broadband plans to change while the company works through the split. NBC News reports that Comcast plans to spin NBCUniversal and Sky into a separate public company, moving Peacock, Universal, NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, theme parks, and Sky away from the broadband and wireless business. The separation is expected to take about a year. The bigger shift is structural. Comcast is separating content from connectivity, which weakens the old cable bundle…

If there’s one thing that annoys me about using a smartwatch outdoors, it’s squinting at the screen under bright sunlight. Whether I’m checking directions on a walk or glancing at a notification while cycling, a dim display can quickly turn a premium smartwatch into a guessing game.

Finally, a smartwatch that can outshine the sun? According to a new leak from tipster Ice Universe, Samsung’s next flagship smartwatch could…
