WhatsApp already lets channel admins mark sponsored posts with a paid partnership label, a feature that started rolling out last month on Android and iOS. Now the app is cooking up something similar, but this time for AI-generated media. The idea is to keep followers in the loop when a photo or video wasn’t captured with a camera but conjured up by an AI tool instead. How will the new AI label work? WaBetaInfo spotted this feature brewing inside the WhatsApp beta for Android, version 2.26.31.1, currently available on the Google Play Store. Once it goes live, admins will be…
This is not the first time I’ve watched European or Chinese car shoppers, for that matter, get a chance to buy genuinely affordable EVs. Meanwhile, American buyers keep hearing and talking about higher starting prices and fewer features on the entry-level trim. Geely’s new compact electric hatchback costs 19,490 EUR in Belgium, or roughly $22,490, and is yet another example of the same. While the entry price is only available for a limited time, I’m talking about the overall package the automaker is offering. So what exactly did Geely launch? This Geely E2 is sold in China as the Geely…
Gemini Notebook has become one of the apps I use more than almost anything else. Whether I’m researching for a feature, studying for hours, or trying to make sense of a stack of PDFs, it’s almost always open somewhere on my phone. Over the past years, I’ve used it on just about every kind of device imaginable, but one thing kept bothering me. It never really felt like a notebook. Don’t get me wrong — it worked perfectly well on a regular phone. All the features were there, and I never felt like I was missing anything. But every research…
During its first earnings call as a public company, SpaceX confirmed a plan years in the making. President Gwynne Shotwell told investors the company intends to build a full mobile network capable of pulling customers away from AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile (via Reuters). Elon Musk backed her up, framing the EchoStar spectrum deal as the foundation for something much bigger than Starlink’s current satellite internet business (via TheVerge). How does SpaceX plan to challenge the biggest carriers? SpaceX already runs Starlink Mobile, which partners with carriers to provide messaging and limited data in areas where traditional cell coverage falls short.…
Finding a fast charger for your electric vehicle could soon get a little easier. EVgo announced it will start installing hundreds of Tesla V4 Superchargers across major US cities, built under a license through Tesla’s Supercharger for Business program. This makes EVgo one of the first US networks to build Tesla‘s own charger design onto its stations, following a broader expansion that began with a $1.25 billion federal loan to add 7,500 new charging stalls nationwide. What does this partnership bring to EV drivers? EVgo will own these chargers and manage site host engagement, utility hookups and pricing, while Tesla…
Counterfeit goods are becoming increasingly sophisticated, forcing brands to rely on expensive authentication systems that often require specialized scanners or proprietary hardware. Researchers now believe a smartphone could do much of that work instead. A team has developed a new printing system that creates responsive anti-counterfeit labels that are more durable, easier to mass-produce, and can be verified using nothing more than a phone. The research was published in the International Journal of Materials and Product Technology. At first glance, the technology looks like another incremental improvement in product security. In reality, it addresses one of the biggest limitations of…
If handing a toddler an iPad felt more like a gamble than a convenience, AT&T has something that will solve that problem for you. So what’s actually new with this tablet? AT&T just refreshed its kids’ tablet lineup with the amiGO Jr. Tab 2. The headline upgrade, among everything else, is connectivity. And if you haven’t already guessed it, this one runs on AT&T’s 5G network, unlike the cheaper options that only work on home Wi-Fi. So, no matter where kids go, they stay connected to the internet, and therefore, their parents. The screen also grew to 8.7 inches and…
NASA is about to launch a telescope built to unlock some of the universe’s biggest mysteries, and it turns out that same design could help protect Earth along the way. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to launch from Kennedy Space Center on August 30, 2026, with a primary mission focused on studying dark matter and dark energy – the invisible forces shaping galaxies and cosmic expansion. Researchers now say its unique design also makes it unexpectedly effective at spotting dangerous asteroids headed our way (via MIT Technology Review). What makes the Roman Telescope capable of hunting killer…
Bose’s standard QuietComfort headphones appear to be on the verge of their first major refresh in nearly three years, and a large collection of official-looking images has now revealed the redesign in full.

Their features, pricing, and expected launch plans were first detailed by Dealabs…
The iPhone Air is often dismissed as an experiment that didn’t achieve the same success as Apple’s other products. However, a fresh leak suggests Apple may view the slim iPhone differently, treating its design language as something that could eventually make its way into the mainstream lineup. So what’s this cooling upgrade actually about? Tipster Fixed Focus Digital, via Weibo, claims the iPhone 20 lineup could borrow its mid-frame construction directly from the iPhone Air and return to a glass-heavy enclosure design. Alongside that shared design language and thin chassis profile, the leak points to a vapor chamber that has…
