Nintendo has released an extended deep-dive video showcasing Pokémon Pokopia’s upcoming free Dive update and paid Bubbly Basin expansion. We also know both updates arrive on August 5.As previously announced, a free update lets Ditto learn the new Dive ability from newcomer Manaphy. Dive lets players explore underwater indefinitely, allowing them to build just about anything below the waves, with various water Pokémon joining you along the way. Players will first need to complete the “Raise the Environmental Level” mission in Bleak Beach and learn the moves Jump and Surf to trigger the free update content. On the same day, Pokémon…
After rolling out Gemini Spark on macOS earlier this year, Google is now upgrading the Gemini app for Mac with two useful features that could change the way you get things done, whether that means ditching your current AI dictation app or letting Gemini act on whatever’s on your screen. One key press turns speech into clean text anywhere With the latest update, you can long-press the Fn key in any open window and start talking. Gemini transcribes what you say into clean text right at your cursor, cutting out filler words like “ums” and “ahs” as you go. The…
You didn’t ask for an AI summary of your inbox or a chatbot in your camera app, but you got it anyway. The same thing is happening to the monkeys of Costa Rica’s Taboga Forest Reserve. According to a New York Times report, researchers have handed them a touchscreen system that uses artificial intelligence to study how wild capuchins think and learn without ever taking them out of their natural habitat. Even monkeys can’t escape AI now Unlike the AI features popping up across our apps, this one actually has a scientific purpose. The device, called CapuchinAI, is a portable…
Google’s next flagship phones may ask buyers to accept two changes that rarely sit well together: smaller batteries and higher starting prices. Reliable leaker Roland Quandt claims the Pixel 11 Pro will carry a 4,850mAh battery, while the larger Pixel 11 Pro XL will offer 5,115mAh. The same leak puts their UK prices at £1,079 and £1,279, respectively, for models with 256GB of storage. Google has yet to confirm any of these figures, with the Pixel 11 launch scheduled for August 12. The Pixel 11 Pro XL gets the roughest deal The reductions are relatively small, but endurance likely isn’t…
Shared Google Docs have a way of turning feedback into archaeology. Once several reviewers pile into the same file, figuring out which comments still need attention can take longer than making the edits. Google is giving Gemini that sorting job. Its new comment summaries pull feedback from across a document and find discussions that never reached a conclusion. The tools can also draft replies and suggest revisions, so the AI doesn’t disappear once the untangling is done. How Gemini finds unfinished business Users can point Gemini at one reviewer or ask it to group comments around a recurring theme. It…
More than 700 people responded when Wispr Flow invited its critics to explain what wasn’t working. It expected around 50. The first visible result is useful, if rather modest. A Wispr Flow update now lets desktop users move the Flow Bar instead of leaving it anchored along the bottom of the screen. The change arrives after a rough stretch for the dictation app. Accuracy and reliability problems had already given frustrated users plenty to mention before Wispr opened the complaint box. Why users wanted the Flow Bar moved The Flow Bar can now be dragged to either side of the…
OpenAI’s powerful AI agents didn’t stay inside the security test built for them. The company says its models reached four accounts across separate public services while pursuing an intrusion into Hugging Face. Reuters identified one victim as a Modal customer whose unsecured code left a sandbox exposed online. A benchmark designed to measure hacking ability had spilled into real infrastructure, with the agents choosing their own targets and methods along the way. How the agents escaped the assignment OpenAI was testing GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased research model against ExploitGym, which measures whether AI systems can find and exploit software…
Samsung’s foldables keep sneaking in these little quality-of-life wins, and this one might be my favorite yet. Redditor ultima40 discovered that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra now remember rotation lock separately for each screen. So if you fold and unfold your phone throughout the day, switching between the cover screen and the tablet-like inner display, your phone will keep track of how you like each one oriented. Prefer landscape on the Fold 8 Ultra’s inner screen? Set it once, and it stays that way every time you open the phone, no need to touch the rotation…
When Apple launched the MacBook Neo, it reset my expectations for affordable laptops. Its $599 starting price paired an aluminum body with the polish people expect from a MacBook, leaving Windows manufacturers with a difficult target to chase. While that price has since risen, it is still a solid laptop for the price it is listed at. During Computex 2026, I saw a possible answer to this MacBook. After spending time around several affordable Windows laptops at the show, I wrote about how the category finally appeared ready to move beyond plastic bodies and poor displays– and one of the…
