The latest generation of Android flagships from Vivo, Oppo, and even Samsung include one 200MP sensor, used as the primary camera or the telephoto camera. However, the next generation of Android flagships could include three 100MP sensors. You heard that right. According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, “some” (that could be more than one) smartphone makers are “testing three 100-megapixel lenses” or cameras. Three 100MP cameras? That’s the rumor Although the tipster doesn’t specify the nature of these cameras, they could very well be the primary, telephoto, and ultrawide shooters. This is one of the most interesting approaches I’ve…
Artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping the global scam economy by making it harder to spot and easier to scale. According to a new Bloomberg report, scammer call centers across Southeast Asia are increasingly using cheap, widely available AI tools to dupe more victims. This is why scams are becoming more convincing, even as governments are tightening the screws. There have also been previous reports of AI tools being repurposed for cybercrime and exploiting chatbots like ChatGPT for malware generation. According to Interpol officials, scammers are now using large language models, voice cloning, and image generation to industrialise deception at scale.…

Google has today announced that you can now simply describe your mood in natural language, and the built-in AI will create a playlist for you. The new…
Suda51’s role on Romeo is a Dead Man is producer, but his fingerprints and tone are all over the journey. The story follows space and time-travelling FBI agents who drink cream soda (hold the soda) and battle villains in violent displays with the help of zombies grown in a spaceship garden. The premise is ridiculous and fun, and it looks and feels like a different game every few minutes thanks to all its disparate art directions. I have my annoyances with Romeo is a Dead Man and its insistence on never getting too comfortable with any single idea, but the…
YouTube Music has reportedly started nudging its free listeners toward a paid subscription by, you guessed it, limiting access to full song lyrics. Free users seemed to be capped at five complete song lyrics per month, post which, only the first few lines of a song’s lyrics are visible, while the rest are blurred. Full access, as far as I can tell, is only available if you cough up for the YouTube Music Premium ($10.99 per month) or YouTube Premium ($13.99 per month) subscriptions.

Rivian is expanding its Apple ecosystem support with a full Apple Watch app that goes beyond digital key access and brings core vehicle controls directly to the wrist. The feature, confirmed through Rivian’s 2026.03 software update release notes surfaced by RivianTrackr, marks a notable step in Rivian’s ongoing effort to modernize its software experience and close feature gaps with rival EV makers. The rollout builds on Rivian’s December update, which first enabled Apple Watch–based digital car keys through Apple’s Wallet system. That implementation worked only with second-generation Rivian EVs (2025 and later). The newly announced watchOS app expands compatibility and…

If you watched Ring’s Search Party Super Bowl spot and felt two things at once, aww and uneasy, you’re not alone. The feature is built to help find missing pets, but it also adds another layer of AI scanning to cameras that already watch your front yard.

Ring says Search Party is available in the US for supported doorbells and outdoor cameras. It…
