You know that feeling when you really need a break, but your phone keeps buzzing anyway? KitKat heard you. The chocolate brand, in collaboration with creative agency Ogilvy Colombia, has unveiled something called Break Mode, a KitKat wrapper that doubles as a Faraday cage for your phone. A Faraday cage, for the uninitiated, is a conductive enclosure that blocks electromagnetic signals. The technology has traditionally lived in medical labs and data security facilities. Now it lives in a red chocolate wrapper, which is honestly something nobody saw coming. How does KitKat’s Break Mode wrapper actually work? The wrapper looks like…
Motorola’s new Razr Ultra 2026 feels like the company is leaning harder into the fashion side of foldables. The phone still has the familiar compact flip design, but this year’s finishes make it look less like a regular smartphone and more like a style piece that happens to open into a full-sized flagship. Is this the prettiest Razr yet? The prettiest version may be the Pantone Orient Blue model, which uses a finely embossed Alcantara finish. Motorola has also added a Pantone Cocoa option with a natural wood veneer finish, giving the phone a warmer and more understated look. Both…
You don’t actually need to share your location for your city to figure out where you are. Every call you make and every message you send, quietly connects to a nearby network antenna. Now multiply that across millions of people doing the same thing every day, and what you end up with isn’t just data — it’s a living, moving picture of how a city really works. That’s exactly what researchers at the University of Córdoba have managed to tap into with a new tool designed to interpret those patterns. The tool that watches without really watching MAPLID (Multi-label Approach…
A couple of days ago, Musk confirmed that Tesla’s third-generation vehicles can’t achieve Full Self-Driving (FSD) through software alone. Shortly after, roughly 3,000 Hardware 3 (HW3) owners across 29 European countries signed onto a collective legal claim, centered aorund €6.5 million already spent in the name of FSD purchases. As a response, Tesla (via an X post) has committed to bringing FSD V14 Lite to HW3 cars in the international markets. The catch, however, is that the software won’t arrive until after the automaker is done with the U.S. rollout. Even then, it’s surrounded with more ifs and buts than buyers…
I’ve spent a fair share of my time copying Gemini’s outputs into a Word document, reformatting the headers, fixing the spacing, and wondering why AI can’t do this on its own. Fortunately, Google has finally done something that reduces my pain. Today, Google announced an update wherein the Gemini app can generate downloadable, ready-to-share files directly inside the chat, with no manual reformatting required. You can now ask Gemini to create Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, and more directly in your chat. No more copying, pasting, or reformatting, just prompt and download.Available globally for all @GeminiApp users. pic.twitter.com/VuhlvehFuU— Sundar Pichai (@sundarpichai)…
Google’s vision for your living room television includes short-form vertical video. Earlier today, the company announced a wave of updates for Google TV, headlined by a dedicated “Short videos for you” row coming to the home screen this summer. The new rollout will appear directly on the Google TV home screen, manifesting as a personalized feed of YouTube Shorts drawn from your watch history; no app launch required. Can you disable the new YouTube Shorts row on Google TV? Google says the feature will expand beyond Shorts over time, with Instagram Reels a likely future option. However, at the moment,…
Apple is preparing a major update to its iPhone software with iOS 27, focusing on deeper integration of artificial intelligence into everyday camera use. According to a Bloomberg report, the company is working on a new “Siri camera mode” alongside upgrades to its Visual Intelligence features, aiming to make AI more accessible within the core iPhone experience. AI Moves Into The Camera App The upcoming update will bring Visual Intelligence directly into the camera app, instead of keeping it tied to the Camera Control button as it currently is. This change is expected to make the feature more visible and…
The Moto G87 just made its clearest appearance on the internet, thanks to tipster Evan Blass. He has dropped high-quality renders of the upcoming Motorola mid-ranger on X (formerly known as Twitter), giving us our best look at the device ahead of its official launch. Given the price leaks last week and the renders today, it looks like the Moto G87 is gearing up for an imminent European launch, likely within the next few weeks. For now, the renders showcase the phone in two colors: dark gray or what the company might call Pantone Overture Gray, and a cyan/bright blue…
Although Google didn’t make a big announcement out of it, the latest Google Home update is perhaps one of the most significant ones in my recent memory. It covers Gemini for home, the camera interface, and the media controls, improvements that might feel incremental individually, but collectively, it points to a future for AI-infused Google Home. What has actually changed in the update? The main highlight of the latest Google Home update is speed. Gemini for Home, which is currently in early access, can now respond to device commands up to 1.5 seconds faster. This covers lights, plugs, timers, alarms,…
