The OnePlus 15 is now joining the small group of Android phones that can share files directly with Apple devices through AirDrop. As reported by Android Authority, AirDrop support through Quick Share is now live on the OnePlus 15. The feature was also spotted in a OnePlus Community post, where a user reported that the phone could now send files to iPhones, iPads, and Macs through Apple’s sharing system. That means OnePlus 15 users should be able to send files to nearby iPhones and receive files from them without the need for any workarounds like Google Drive links, Bluetooth, or…
An AI-generated song called “Through My Soul” has racked up over 11 million YouTube views and millions of streams worldwide. Nobody knows who really made it. The credited artist, Enlly Blue, is a fake persona with six full albums and no human behind it. This is the reality of AI music in 2026, and it is only getting louder. How an AI song ended up on a real setlist Adrian Younge, the composer and co-founder of the Los Angeles-based Jazz Is Dead label, heard “Through My Soul” and felt something was off immediately. He told Fast Company he could sense…
The FCC is weighing phone ID rules that could make burner phones harder to get in the US. The proposal, aimed at fighting robocalls and scam texts, would require telecom providers to collect identifying details before giving service to people starting or continuing a plan. For prepaid users, a number that once stayed separate from a fuller identity record may become tied to carrier-held data before service begins. That cuts into the appeal of a burner phone without requiring suspicious behavior first. The agency says tougher checks would help identify people abusing calls and texts. Critics argue the rule is…
Penn State researchers have developed a light-adaptive sensor component that could make autonomous vehicle cameras and robots far more reliable in shifting lighting conditions. The work, published Monday in Nature Communications, takes direct cues from how the human eye adjusts between bright and dark environments. Biology as a blueprint Current camera systems in self-driving cars are tuned for consistent lighting, which means accuracy drops when conditions shift rapidly, like moving from a dark road into oncoming headlights. The Penn State team, co-led by engineering professor Larry Cheng, looked to the eye’s rod and cone cell system for a solution. In…
It’s been a decade since Ico and Shadow of the Colossus creator Fumito Ueda released his last title, 2016’s The Last Guardian, and he’s largely kept his head down during that lengthy stretch. His team at Gen Design has spent years quietly assembling its biggest and most surprising adventure yet, Gen Atlas. First revealed under the codename Project Robot during The Game Awards in 2024, the game reemerged with its proper title and a full-length trailer during the Summer Game Fest showcase. During the event’s press-only Play Days event, we interviewed Ueda to learn new details about the mysterious project,…
Scammers have found a new way to reach shoppers: getting ChatGPT to do their marketing for them. According to The Guardian, scam-checking service Ask Silver found that OpenAI’s chatbot is recommending fraudulent retail websites built to harvest payment details from unsuspecting buyers. The sites mimic real storefronts and use official-looking URLs, making them difficult to spot without scrutiny. Defunct brands are a prime target Scammers appear to be deliberately targeting brands that have recently shut down or been acquired, leaving a gap between consumer demand and an official web presence. Ask Silver’s Anna Jones told The Guardian that Russell &…

Even as Windows laptops turned touchscreen as a part of the premium laptop checklist generations ago, Apple has resisted the touchscreen MacBook for years. However, things might be changing soon. After years of rumors and reports of Apple finally adopting touch input on its PCs, the latest macOS 27 Golden Gate might be the one to finally bring this highly requested feature to reality. The first beta of the new macOS just dropped, and people are already trying cool new things in it. One of these include a new touchscreen behavior when a Mac is connected wirelessly to an iPad…
Pokémon Pokopia launched earlier this year on March 5, exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2, and now, we know when the game’s Expansion Pass content begins. During today’s Nintendo Direct, we learned that the new Bubbly Basin town will be added to the game this August, and that same month, all players will get the underwater Dive ability in a free software update. Bubbly Basin kickstarts the Expansion Pass content, which will expand with “additional features” in late 2026 and a brand new town in 2027. As the name Bubbly Basin might imply, the new biome is completely underwater – you’ll need…
Your next phone or EV could run on a recycled battery that performs nearly as well as a new one. Cornell University researchers have developed a new recycling technique that restores spent lithium-ion cells to up to 95% of their original capacity, while cutting recycling costs by 56%. A bath instead of a shredder Current battery recycling techniques are largely destructive. Spent cells are either smelted at extreme temperatures or crushed into a powder and processed with harsh acids to extract usable materials. The recovered components then have to be rebuilt from scratch before they can go into a new…
