WhatsApp rolled out a new feature on Thursday that aims to make sharing voice messages more convenient. It introduces voice message transcripts on WhatsApp for Android and iOS platforms, enabling users to see a text-based transcription of the voice message received from others. The feature is said to come in handy while on the move or in a loud environment. This development comes after WhatsApp recently released a drafts label for unread messages in chats and a new widget for the home screen of its iOS app.WhatsApp Voice Message TranscriptsIn a blog post, WhatsApp highlighted that voice message transcripts are generated…

Get ready for yet another GPU shortage, as Nvidia has warned about potential shortages in the current quarter. Although the company’s third-quarter revenue saw a healthy growth, in its recent earnings call, company Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress said that the fourth-quarter revenue is expected to decline sequentially due to supply constraints. The anticipated GPU shortage could potentially stem from a strategic shift in production to prepare for the next-generation RTX 50-series “Blackwell” GPUs, slated for release in 2025. This supply transition, coupled with surging gaming and professional use-case demand, seems to have left the company in a tight spot.…

Never let it be said that Amazon Prime Video isn’t stacked with great dramas. Amazon wasn’t content to only have the great MGM film library at its disposal, as Prime Video regularly adds movies from other studios to bolster its lineup. While there are plenty of action flicks and comedies on the platform, Prime Video is also home to several world-class dramas that rank among the best in the genre. This month’s selections for the three dramas on Prime Video that you need to watch in November all have a shared theme of mentorship and emotionally cathartic experiences. That’s why…

NASA astronaut and current space station inhabitant Don Pettit seems to have the luck of the stars. During SpaceX’s sixth test flight of its massive Starship rocket from Boca Chica, Texas, on Tuesday, the International Space Station (ISS) just happened to be passing directly above — some 250 miles above, to be precise — giving keen photographer Pettit the perfect opportunity to capture the Starship’s launch. Pettit shared a photo of the event on his X account on Thursday, along with the comment, “We happened to be overhead!” Starship launch from @ISS. We happened to be overhead! pic.twitter.com/SLRlLoRriv — Don…

Samsung QN90D 98-inch QLED TV “The QN90D series is excellent, but the 98-inch model fell apart for us.” Pros Excellent color accuracy Deep blacks, impressive contrast Solid on-board sound Sparkling HDR brightness Cons Intermittent processing anomalies Too expensive When you look at TV ads from 1998, a 56-inch Panasonic rear-projection TV — in 4:3 format, no less — cost $5,500. Adjusted for inflation, that is about $10,500 today. We’ve come a long way. You can now get a 98-inch TV for that kind of money, or even way less. TCL is selling its 98-inch Q6 — with free installation if…

YouTube has reportedly started rolling out a new AI-empowered translation feature for its content creators, one that will automatically redub a video’s contents into one of nine languages without changing the speaker’s voice. According to a post from X user @levelsio, “YouTube will now auto dub videos in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Hindi, Indonesian and Japanese” and “will use AI to take the original voice but change the language.” The new feature will arrive to creators’ channels in the coming weeks but will only be available to newly crafted content, rather than existing videos, to start. I said…

According to a new report from Artificial Analysis, OpenAI’s flagship large language model for ChatGPT, GPT-4o, has significantly regressed in recent weeks, putting the state-of-the-art model’s performance on par with the far smaller, and notably less capable, GPT-4o-mini model. This analysis comes less than 24 hours after the company announced an upgrade for the GPT-4o model. “The model’s creative writing ability has leveled up–more natural, engaging, and tailored writing to improve relevance & readability,” OpenAI wrote on X. “It’s also better at working with uploaded files, providing deeper insights & more thorough responses.” Whether those claims continue to hold up…

A few legacy D-Link routers can be vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) attacks since the company refuses to send any updates to patch them up, claiming they have reached end-of-life, as recently posted on its announcement page. The vulnerability is a serious issue since it allows hackers to take control from anywhere in the world and use a stack buffer overflow. This attack sends more data than the buffer size can handle, potentially corrupting critical information like the return address. Thus, hackers can take control of your PC. However, the company did not detail how the threat works, possibly…

Satechi, known for its high-quality tech accessories, is updating its Mac mini hub for the new M4 model. Like previous hubs, it allows Mac mini owners to expand their storage and ports while preserving airflow, wireless signal, and performance. It looks awesome, but this time, the design highlights the problematic nature of the new Mac mini’s placement of its power button. With previous Mac mini models, the power button was at the back, making it easily accessible even when it was in a Satechi hub. The new button placement on the bottom of the PC, however, may prove even more…
