Elon Musk’s X is continuing its push to bake AI deeper into the platform with two new Grok-powered features aimed at helping users reach a wider audience and edit images seamlessly. What’s new on X? The company has rolled out automatic translation for posts worldwide, allowing users to instantly read content in their preferred language without needing to tap on the translation option. The feature, powered by xAI’s Grok models, is designed to give posts a broader global reach while reducing friction for cross-language conversations. Users who prefer the original text can still toggle translations off on a per-language basis.…
Almost 30 years after his cinematic debut, iconic villain Darth Maul returns to glory in his long-overdue Disney+ series, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord. Set a year after the Clone Wars ended, Maul – Shadow Lord follows the titular villain (Sam Witwer) as he tries to rebuild his criminal empire in the shadows of the Galactic Empire. At the same time, he pursues the fugitive Jedi Padawan Devon Izara (Gideon Adlon) in the hopes of making her his new apprentice. Only two episodes of Maul – Shadow Lord have debuted on streaming at this time. Nevertheless, the show has…
Ever since its rocky launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has been a game defined by its post-release support. First, developer CD Project Red fixed bugs, then its graphics were cleaned up, and then Phantom Liberty and a massive update redefined the experience, reworking major mechanics and progression systems. Over five years later, it’s still getting better, as today’s free update upgrades the game’s visuals on PS5 Pro systems. Check out the overview trailer below. In addition to advanced ray tracing features and a new cap of 90 frames per second (on VRR-enabled displays), Cyberpunk 2077 is getting PSSR support, allowing the PS5 Pro…
A tiny camera breakthrough could reshape how phones and wearables are built. Researchers at KAIST have developed an ultra-thin camera module that tackles one of the most persistent design problems in consumer tech, the camera hump. The system delivers a 140-degree field of view in a structure under 1mm thick, thin enough to sit nearly flush inside modern devices. Current high-performance cameras rely on stacked lenses, which add bulk and force protruding modules or thicker hardware. Instead, this design uses a microlens array inspired by insect vision, combining multiple captures into a single high-resolution image. The result keeps detail and…
Google Photos has finally caught up with a feature that iOS has had for years. A new Copy button is now rolling out in the Google Photos share sheet. It lets you copy an image straight to the clipboard, without having to download it to your device first (via Android Authority). What exactly does the new Google Photos feature do? Until now, sharing a photo from Google Photos wasn’t as straightforward. First, you had to store the picture locally on your phone, which meant waiting for it to download before you could actually send it anywhere. Now, you can argue…
Ever since I played Forza Horizon 5 back in 2021, it’s been my favorite racing game of all time. The over-the-top action, the tight controls, the expansive garage of vehicles, and, of course, the beautiful representation of Mexico all made me fall in love with Forza Horizon 5 – so much so that it’s tied for the highest review score I’ve awarded in my nearly 11 and a half years at Game Informer. So it stands to reason that I was thrilled to hear that Forza Horizon 6 was heading to my favorite real-world travel destination: Japan. I had the…
Skoda has unveiled the DuoBell, a fully mechanical bike bell engineered to cut through active noise-canceling (ANC) headphones. The automaker has reinvented the bicycle bell, along with acoustic researchers at the University of Salford, to address a real and growing urban problem: pedestrians so thoroughly cocooned in their ANC bubble that a traditional ring doesn’t reach them. Why can’t a regular bike bell do the job anymore? Over the year, ANC has improved drastically, to the point that ANC-enabled earphones or headphones cut the environmental sounds almost completely. In London alone, up to half of all pedestrians now walk around…
YouTube Premium is one of the few subscriptions I don’t mind paying for. Given how inundated YouTube is with unskippable ads these days, I’m glad a paid tier exists. In addition to an ad-free experience, a Premium subscription also includes background play and a handful of experimental features that regular users don’t get. Now, YouTube is rolling out a new experiment for Premium subscribers, and it might genuinely change how you watch videos. It’s called “Auto Speed”, and it does what the name suggests. Instead of manually changing your playback speed , Auto Speed handles it for you. The feature…

If you’ve ever plugged in a controller to your Android phone, jumped into a game, and immediately fumbled a button because the layout felt off, you’re not alone. Android has supported a wide range of gamepads for years now, which is great for flexibility, but not always great for consistency. Muscle memory is a stubborn thing. With Android 17, Google is finally fixing this. Finally, your thumb gets a say in the matter Android 17 introduces system-level controller remapping, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. It can now tweak your controller layout at the system level. That means your…
