海外TECH	Engadget	Apple will reportedly debut its in-house 5G modem with the iPhone SE 4	https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/apple-will-reportedly-debut-its-in-house-5g-modem-with-the-iphone-se-4-103023682.html?src=rss	Bloomberg recently reported that Apple is close to releasing an updated iPhone SE which will be its first update to the low end model since According to toMac Apple is also planning to use the phone as a launching pad for its in house G modems The company purchased the majority of Intel s smartphone modem business for billion back in after taking steps to be more self reliant and aggressively recruiting staff to make that happen But it has yet to release devices that use the modems designed by its internal team Apple and Qualcomm have somewhat of a complicated history Qualcomm sued Apple in accusing it of violating its patents related to its phones ability to quickly connect to the internet after they re switched on as well as patents related to battery efficiency graphics processing and apps capability to download data faster They eventually settled their patent dispute after Apple agreed to pay Qualcomm royalties and to enter a six year licensing deal as well as a multi year wireless chipset supply deal At the moment Apple still equips its devices with Qualcomm made G modems Qualcomm also announced last year that it will continue providing modems to Apple until It s possible that Apple wants to put its in house modem to the test with just one iPhone first before it puts its technology in more devices The iPhone SE will look similar to the iPhone pictured above toMac says and will be powered by an A chip with GB of RAM that will make it possible for it to have some Apple Intelligence features It will reportedly feature Face ID and will no longer have a home button like previous iPhone SEs and the device will apparently have the iPhone s MP wide camera and MP front cam The iPhone SE is expected to be unveiled next year possibly sometime in the spring nbsp This article originally appeared on Engadget at	2024-10-04 10:30:23

AI	https://www.engadget.com/computing/engadget-podcast-why-the-windows-11-2024-update-is-all-about-copilot-ai-113026863.html?src=rss	This week Microsoft started rolling out the Windows update but it quickly became clear that the company was far more eager to unveil new features for its Copilot AI and Copilot AI PCs In this episode Devindra and Cherlynn chat about Microsoft s current AI priorities and what it means for people with older PCs Also we discuss the death of HoloLens and Microsoft giving up on AR as Meta Apple and even Snap build for an augmented reality future Listen below or

What s up everybody and welcome back to the Engadget Podcast I m Senior Editor Devindra Hardawar Cherlynn I m Deputy Editor Cherlynn Low Devindra This week it s all about Microsoft I guess Techtober has officially begun Cherlynn even though it feels like We ve been doing Techtober since August thanks to Samsung and Google and everybody yes Cherlynn Yeah itDevindra just never it never freaking ends But yeah the wave of tech news which we used to call Techtober which is now just TechFall I guess the fall of our lives and our productivity Yeah That is all happening Microsoft announced that the Windows update is going out this week But I honestly think Microsoft is way more interested in the AI capabilities that it s bringing to CoPilot and also CoPilot Plus systems And I think that s kind of funny I think Cherlynn you and I as Windows nerds and PC geeks I think it s something worth exploring because more so than even last year this feels like a major shift for Microsoft So that s our first topic We ll talk about a couple other things too including HoloLens and basically the entire HoloLens family dying As always folks if you re enjoying the show subscribe to us on iTunes or

channel for our live stream If we have gadgets we ll do you know sometimes we ll show them off We ll do Q and A s It s a fun time Join us Sherilyn I m sorry that I basically threw these giant stories at you ahead of ahead of the Big news announcement this week A lot of big stuff happening from Microsoft Windows update but also new features coming to co pilot plus AI PCs including more information about privacy and recall new features for the co pilot AI assistant How did you notice something odd About these stories as I sent them to you Cherlynn Cherlynn Beyond it seemed like Microsoft might have given you the information incredibly close to the deadline Well there sDevindra that there s at least we got a heads up but something that I don t know if you ve noticed because I think you had access to these docs too The news was essentially Hey this update is coming Everybody get ready for it We love windows We love windows updates And then my entire the entire document was like Oh by the way copilot plus AI PCs that s all we care about So I got this document that was just like all new features And then one little paragraph at the end Oh by the way when this update you get HDR backgrounds you get all this stuff like literally sentences But the entire like presentation for Microsoft is we love Copilot plus AI PC systems Did that feel weird to you Cherlynn I mean I know that there was this the main post that you filed was like at the end where you said Oh by the way there are these Windows updates as well coming And I think it didn t feel weird to me I guess because I was like yeah of course they re all in on Copilot and everything is about AI And maybe that s why maybe I m so over You re just so used toit Right the incremental cadence of every platform update being like little things even though you know before we had a big significant jump to and then to just felt kind of minor because it was built for like better arm based improved performance and then Now AI seems to be the mad rush here So I agree with you It is weird but it took you pointing it out for me to realize or feel it You know Devindra I mean I totally agree with you Like typically when we talk about windows updates especially the annual cadences like they re not huge things And even windows itself felt like a weird half step update where the most compelling thing was like Hey we put the task bar in the middle of your screen Rather than the side of your that was the only thing people were talking about I think yeah Microsoft is aware that the thing that could be more exciting now to people is Copilot Plus first of all and I think that s also key I think more so than the Copilot AI Assistant which is going to be in you know pretty much most Windows machines the Copilot Plus stuff that is for the newer systems basically released this year So stuff like with the new snap track and processors go ahead Cherlynn Yeah no I mean the thing you re pointing out is exactly the thing that got me questioning while I was reading your pieces because it wasn t about the windows updates It was more you clearly have a distinction between co pilot and co pilot plus and I was like where And then I had to like I sussed it out for myself eventually but I was like Oh so there is co pilot versus co pilot plus and there s a bit of a difference here right There s I mean there s a total Devindra yeah So when I covered I went to Microsoft s campus in May right Head of WWDC and everything That s when they announced the co pilot plus PC initiative And that was these custom not custom but these like systems that had a certain level of quality right So they launched with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X elite and X pro chips But basically there was a minimum standard of gigabytes of RAM right tops NPU So really powerful NPU for AI work So it could do a lot of stuff locally rather than sending AI stuff to the cloud You know decent amount of hard drive space too But that s the thing It s like a certain level of computing quality And that s the sort of thing Microsoft had to basically launch as an initiative with Qualcomm AMD Intel everybody Whereas when Apple did their big push for ARM based and new chips and everything they could just be like well here s our new thing We did it all We did all the work and developers just have to catch up with us So the copilot plus features are things like recall but also new things that they talked about There s something called click to do which if you hold down the windows button and right click there will be contextual things you could be doing within that dropdown menu So if you re in the photos app I believe you can like you can have it like just blur the background Just remove this object if you click on an object So that s kind of useful We re kind of getting a sense of what Microsoft wants to do with these new NPU powered features in the photos app you can also super resolution photos which is something you could do in Adobe stuff and Lightroom and other apps Pixelmator does that on the Mac too but That s kind of cool If you have a Lowr resolution photo and the AI basically interpolates a lot of stuff in that image to give you a bigger file that also looks pretty sharp I ve used that in Pixelmator It s pretty good Yeah just a couple improvements down the way the recall stuff is interesting too because Microsoft also basically held a call last week to be like Hey Recall privacy This is actually very important to us And we re going to be very clear about this And this follows the whole debacle after the recall launch where the recall announcement where everybody was like there are gaping security holes here Security researchers found things like where if you were an administrator or actually no if you were able to hack into a computer even without admin access you could get access to the recall database which is the screenshot of everything it s recording that you re doing on your system So Microsoft had to Delay that feature by several months Didn t even release it to testers to really lock that down So the whole it sounds better now It sounds like they re encrypting the entire database Recall itself is running in what they re calling Let me see here A VBS enclave So not even just like an encrypted thing but like a virtual package of like where the program is too So hackers can t like directly access it Windows Hello biometrics is necessary by default And also Oh the feature is not turned on by default You have to turn it on And these all came from complaints from everybody I also asked Microsoft specifically so what did you learn from this whole mistake like this whole situation which is they announced recall and they were like this is one of the coolest things you can ever do You can remember anything you ve ever done in your computer Was completely mired in controversy So I talked with or I sent a question to Pavan Devaluri which is the head of windows He s the head of windows He knows we had an interview with him on this podcast months ago He knows our complaints and our criticisms of surface and windows and everything And he basically said that they realize now that users want to have Extra confidence with anything involving like their sensitive data or especially AI things that are recording all their data And also AI involves a rethinking of how Microsoft and other companies think about security on a Windows system right Typically if you have an administrator account on a Windows computer The thinking is you could just go in and do anything right You could do anything on any other accounts You are an administrator of that PC You have really like basically broad privileges but now if you re using these AI features which are sucking in a lot of data and a lot more data than windows PCs used to maybe there s a good excuse for not giving the administrator full access to that you know to whatever that database is So there s just things that they re thinking of that they didn t think of before And that s a shame but they re saying like that basically this whole fiasco they re taking into consideration I don t quite know if I trust them yet but how do you feel about their turnaround ICherlynn think it took quite long And I re I realize it s more than just allow people to opt in There s the holes they had patched the access to admin versus like user Encrypting everythingis an encryption It still felt like it took a little long but I mean It just goes to show how little Microsoft had any forethought right about this sort of privacy concern That it took public backlash to be like Ah crap And that they had to it felt like a ground up attempt to fix all these issues And it doesn t bode well for me for any of their future sort of features based around your information Like I think they are I tend to think of Microsoft as the most engineer brain of the top three like AI companies out there They re very engineer brain They re very like Oh yeah this is convenient Oh it works Let s ship it They don t think about what about all these other things What about people who are using your product that are not engineer brain that are going to break it in some consumer way right So I think it took a while but I m glad they re at least considering and I hope it s a lesson to be considering these things ahead of time you know Devindra Yeah most definitely They re also like let me see here I like the security things Revamped copilot apps are getting some interesting features too I think this is all kind of interconnected So they basically announced this whole new strategy called copilot labs where they re going to talk about where they re going to let people play with new features ahead of time Let me see here Copilot vision is one of those and this is a weird thing This is like literally the thing we re worried about That s It s going to basically see everything you re doing in your web browser showing and be able to basically give you tips on it It s basically involving constant eyes on what you re seeing That s a lab feature And also think deeper Which is the ability to just give it a task and have it process a little longer to maybe get you some more helpful advice These are all Copilot Labs features these are like extra experimental if you think about the old Google Labs stuff And right now only people paying for Copilot Pro subscriptions so those are the a month thing Only those folks can test it for now I think at the very least Microsoft is being very careful about how it s rolling this stuff out It is showing it to people but also a very small audience and taking that feedback before it rolls out broadly And the thing about recall they were just like Hey here it is Look everybody this is so cool We re capturing everything you re doing on your computer And they were more excited about it than I think they realized P other people would be because they didn t realize how little people trusted Microsoft right Cherlynn Yeah I think the conundrum of having to pay for access to some of these extra features ahead of time is Both like a joy and a risk that you re taking and I guess we talked about this early adopter mindset a lot on the podcast which is Yeah You pay a premium to get to access things like prototypes right And these features in the labs are basically prototypes but then you re also risking exposing yourself to a lot of potential like vulnerabilities I guess I don t think the word is exploits I don t think the word is like bad Like it s not bad It s just you have to be aware The vulnerabilities isDevindra the world Yeah Is the word Cherlynn Yeah And you know I guess cool pay for that but at the same time these are people who are paying there for early adopters probably already much more on top of their security and knowing the risks they take It s just like Microsoft selling it to people who are paying meaning they re selling it to people who are fans who are less likely to question is you know curious in my opinion Devindra I think it makes sense just being careful and also not too long after the show when we both went to Apple s campus and they announced Apple intelligence and it seemed like even Apple intelligence was launched with The awareness of everything that went wrong with recall right Like even Apple and other companies are kind of learning from all this It s a learning experience for everybody but the people going first usually take the first hit So in this case it was Microsoft It s often open AI We saw Google bar you know stumble right out of the gate too And Apple at least is able to sit back and just watch and see how it can make things more useful Speaking of So this is the CoPilot app itself CoPilot on the web CoPilot s mobile app There are some new features coming there too CoPilot voice which gives it a more personable assistant like voice So you can actually have a back and forth conversation with it That s kind of cool I think that s that just makes it feel more more useful to a lot of people Copilot Vision we talked about they re going to do this thing called Copilot Daily which that voice will also give you like a daily rundown of news and also things you may have scheduled or on your calendar They want you to think of Copilot as like this thing that you can basically always turn to It feels like Copilot is your new computing interface in a way And that s also probably why they re a little more excited about it rather than A Windows update even though the Windows update is pretty big according to Microsoft it is a full OS reconstruction So it is not just like a minor step up It is like a full re installation and a full re architecture of Windows Maybe following along the lines of what they did for the ARM stuff back around the Copilot Plus launch that version of Windows that went out with the ARM systems is very different They had to rebuild Windows a lot To deal with arms So I feel like we re going to see more of that basically on the Intel and AMD side Any questions for one This is I see the chat is talking about this too This is just kind of wild to me Cause last year we went to the Microsoft event and ended up being a surprise event about AI and we were all very confused How do you feel about like their standing now around AI and windows and everything Cherlynn Yeah I think you re pointing to the fact that Simon B in the chat asked who is leading in AI Windows OpenAI or Google for the consumers And I mean the rest of this episode Windows is OpenAIDevindra at this point Cherlynn Yes The rest of this episode I think talks sort of about that right We re getting to some Amazon news later in this episode that was announced this week as well But what we re seeing and to your point Devindra compared to this time last year or like last year in April or February I forget It was being AI It was like the first time we had to contend with like consumer facing versions of these features But now here we are a year and a half after the fact and every company has pushed out their own version of writing tools summaries basically Chad GPT And then we ve got other companies doing their own implementations you know co pilot we ve got Google stuffing AI into literally anything it makes We ve got Apple with the redesigned Siri which is still in classic Apple style not actually here yet right Apple intelligence slow to the party And Amazon will see in a bit gave us kind of a teaser at what AI on it s going to look like And it s much more of the same but here s what you said got me to thinking right You say that it s a their new basically the new interaction mode is the new interface right Well how people are going to interface I think I saw this trend when Tik Tok started becoming more of a thing like short form videos started becoming more of a thing and I was like skeptical of it ever really taking off And yet you see That generations for example that that story from the verge a while ago where kids don t even use directories anymore they just search in their file explore for the file they re looking for I was like Oh crap I guess Yeah You don t need to organize howDevindra files work Yeah Cherlynn I did And I thought that was the way and these things are changing I think we re at The start of maybe gen alpha whenever they get their first laptop whenever they start using these Google services are going to be so used to AI that they ll use it in a way that we never thought you know and I it s disappointing to me because I think it s even more critical thinking or kind of offloading to a computer as opposed to having our own brain process But I could also see human beings finding new unique creative ways to interact with AI So I don t know it s Ooh it sDevindra it sCherlynn weird you know Devindra It is weird I am I m still unsold on the idea of the AI stuff taking over everything Like I think at the end of last year I wrote like Microsoft is really all in on copilot AI but doesn t really have a vision for what it is going to be Now we re kind of seeing more of that but also at the same time like the basic copilot search is not super useful to me I would rather search the internet and get actual results from and go look at those results rather than have this Machine feed information back to me and me not under like it playing a game of telephone and us not knowing if that information is actually accurate And then I have to go back and check that Meanwhile the actual Bing search is still as useless as ever Which is funny to me I use edge a lot because I use different browsers for work and personal stuff so I sometimes stumble into Bing search and it s still man I wrote I literally know I wrote this article about this thing It is at Engadget com And Bing just doesn t know it exists I can put almost the full title of the whole thing there and Bing can t find it And yeah Cherlynn Not to okay So disclosure our parent company is Yahoo which is owned by Apollo Right And even on yahoo comcome on Yeah Yahoo No I ve used Yahoo because I was forced to because of my corporate machines to hold to Yahoo as a search engine Sadly Even Yahoo is I ll be like Engadget iPhone review or something And the first result is not Engadget Yahoo iPhone review it s something else And I m like what Thankfully because we know the people at Yahoo we can be like what is going on This search is bonked And then they re like oh let s fix it So they ll they can fix it To your point though like Bing AI Bing search is pretty useless still I think we re going to get to this later in the episode too But I think Google search Is also getting worse and worse I ve seen this online for a very long time right Yeah With the ads placements up top with the shopping modules up top with the top stories and the discover boxes up top it used to be helpful Now it s just getting the actual results further down the page the things that I actually want to do I don t care what Google wants to put in front of my eyes I want to go and look into the results myself maybe because I was born in the eighties butDevindra This is why I like I m not so chilling on this AI driven future because Google is forcing it at us Microsoft is the Google search right now You will see generative AI stuff at the top usually then sponsored topics and other ads and stuff maybe Google shopping And then towards the bottom you get to the results you want So all these things are making our Computing experience is worse And I wonder like there it s high time for some sort of user revolt on this stuff Like we looked at one look at recall and we were like no thank you Not like this And Microsoft had to scramble back into its cave and fix it Society took one look at Google glass and was like no thank you That s not going to fly right now We are just not ready for this but also there are so many problems with this tech I do think we re going to get see a lot more pushback now personally Cherlynn I will say to be contrary And I will point out that in our chat Lee Woods says they use Gemini advanced several times a day just to summarize articles You re hoping that they figure out a way to integrate Gemini into the Chrome browser Look I think summarize is could be one of the easiest like the best things that I can do if it s accurate and reliable And I think For a lot of people who ve been trying out the Apple intelligence stuff on betas they found notification summaries to be quite accurate and super helpful Yeah There are tools that are going to be helpful We re just going to figure out and weed out you know the bad from the good Yeah Devindra Yeah I mean it s all about how we use this information Yeah notifications You know what sucks right now in modern life and modern computing life is notifications Too many notifications solve that problem for me Thank you Less of a problem Is finding stuff on the internet but also making it harder for me to find stuff on the internet because you want to sell me this service that you Oh I m so glad you love Gemini Google That s cool Nice Good for you Google I would just like to use Google I would just like to use Google search So yes There is a point where it s getting in our way and these companies care more about it than we do And then I think there are companies that are being trying to be a little more thoughtful Apple is doing some of that Microsoft is getting there with some of the Copilot plus AI features but we shall see I don t want to sound like an old man shouting at the clouds but sometimes when things are dumb and things are stupid I think you have to be like the emperor has no clothes here You know last year at that event Trillian I distinctly remember talking to Microsoft executives and being like how can you have this thing which you know is not always accurate is not always correct How can it be the basis of all these new interactions that are going to be a big part of windows and they re just like this is a learning experience I think people will understand if we make mistakes that s not It s not how computers should work folks Like I don t you don t want to calculate or to have a learning experience as you re trying to you don t calculate a critical figure for you You want me to just do the specific task And even Microsoft was unaware of that We shall see how all this goes kind of related to this We also saw the news that Microsoft is killing HoloLens too And there s no plans for a followup device It s going to be using I think I heard That they may be going to Anduril s headsets Like they re going to be doing software for that for military uses or something but essentially HoloLens is dead which is funny to see after literally last week Facebook was just like this is the future of augmented reality computing Here are Orion glasses We saw Snaps glasses We saw Vision Pro last year It seems like finally this category is heating up and Microsoft s response is okay no thank you No once there sCherlynn competition we re out Sorry Devindra Yeah I mean it doesn t help Remember the HoloLens guy Alex Kipman I believe was booted out of Microsoft for being kind of a dirt bag Just like we he was like a weird sexist horny guy who really liked his AR Glasses So that was the story going around He just did not make that team a really good environment So if you lose the guy who s like leading that technology that s one thing but also if you have Facebook if you have meta who s willing to spend tens of billions of dollars to really get ahead and Apple who s clearly thought harder about vision pro than I think Microsoft has about HoloLens when it comes to making a consumer product It just seems like Microsoft was here early but it can t compete This is such a pocket PC situation for Microsoft They had some Hardaware they had some ideas This is a web TV moment but Ultimately they just couldn t make it work and that s a shame I liked HoloLens too Like they if they were willing to I think there is space for Microsoft to play here I don t know Did you ever try a HoloLens too Or do youCherlynn have feelingsDevindra around this I Cherlynn I can t remember if the one I tried was an old one or the two the second I believe it was the second gen and it was like an event in Times Square It was one of those art events and they were really trying to steal it So I m going to be talking about how you can sell the potential of HoloLens outside of industrial and workplaces I mean I remember when the first few demos of HoloLens were just so interesting where you could use these hand gestures you could like collaborate with teammates on this virtual diagram or whatever And I got to say like in the headset wars right I mean everyone made their own There was the Mirage the Quest I mean the Quest obviously with Meta having bought them became kind of the front runner right now in my opinion for more consumer friendly devices but HoloLens did stick around for a while there as something that people used in like factories or like more industrial places and commercial uses and it definitely had Felt to me for a while that Microsoft won in that category even if it was very niche And like you said the defense category is somewhere where they can probably make a lot of money out of but I it s sad to see that just as it s getting you know to a point where the race seems to be properly heating up that like Microsoft s no we re good Thanks Devindra No thank you Yeah we re it s a little it seems like you guys are far ahead of us right now So we re just tapping out I did a demo If you go back and read about I think it was called Microsoft mesh which was their like virtual meeting software And they sent me a HoloLens too And I sat here in my office and I had a group Call with Microsoft executives and like other journalists And it felt like they were all just we were all just sitting near each other even though we were all at our own homes It was like maybe So pandemic was still like keeping people away from each other And that s it felt good It felt like it worked It wasn t super clunky but the Hardaware was just too expensive and I don t think they wanted to do the work to like really make that cheaper They also had the whole like you know Windows mixed reality stuff for them to try to get into VR but that felt like a little too late Because Oculus was doing stuff before HTC Vive was doing stuff before So Microsoft was too late to VR too early for AR And now everybody else is just like trekking ahead for maybe in years we ll get like the true AR glasses that everybody s dreaming of And honestly I also feel like we as a society are not ready for those either But yeah just kind of kind of sad to see So RIP HoloLens Maybe the They look so cool is the thing I kind of do want one when they re like bucks being thrown out in a couple of years I would love a HoloLens just to put on my shelf just like I have a Microsoft Kin I have both Microsoft Kin phones in a drawer somewhere Cherlynn I continue to hold on to Engadget s Google glass So I understandDevindra the aliens are going to find our drawers full of like old tech and be like well no other humans have these things Why do these people like what is the story here What happened here Anyway Yeah A shame for HoloLens but yeah we ll see We ll see what happens Cherlynn Maybe they ll come up with co pilot glass You know what I mean Devindra They re going to do they re going to work on integrations for everybody else So that s the thing Microsoft rather than Being the platform being the Hardaware They re gonna try to work with everybody else s stuff That s why we re seeing Xbox and quests and everything right now So yeah just a shame to see and Let us know what you folks think I mean I feel like maybe just because I m a s PC kid who grew up on Windows like I have an affinity for old Windows I think about the way it works a lot If you have thoughts about Microsoft s new trajectory Drop us an email at podcastsandgadget com All right let s move on to some other news We got some stuff from Amazon and oh boy is this Sherilyn we make fun of Amazon for being really boring when it comes to Hardaware except for like their crazy random stuff this is a nothing burger of a news hit We got a new Fire HD tablet everybody It s slightly faster It has a better camera It s still a fire HD eight I guess the crazy thing is it is available for on sale If you go for the ads and everything So that s not that s pretty good for a tablet with just free to sit down and watch stuff and it s faster than before So there s that but also like they want to do AI stuff with it Sure Okay Of course Everybody wants to do AI summaries and whatnot Is there anything special about these tablets Rowan Cherlynn So to be clear Amazon announced the Fire HD and two variants the HD for kids and I think like Pro is the other version Anyway Alongside the launch of the Fire HD it also announced some AI features are coming with the HD but we ll also be rolling out to compatible Kindle tablets that already have been in the market for a very long time So I was most intrigued by that I want to do clarify that the HD normally will retail at so And right now it s on sale up until the end of Prime Day which is from today I I don t know if you ve opened your Amazon app you ll see the big ad October th October th Prime Day Yay I guess we needed another one And up until then the HD eight will cost I think closer to I forget if it s but like somewhere in that ballpark Anyway what did jump out at me when I saw the press release was A this is not the Amazon Hardaware event we ve been waiting to happen in October right This is just a drop ahead of Prime Day And B the AI tools So I was looking at it I was like first thing that came to my mind I was like Have we heard of AI Amazon s AI features like this because it was like writing summer It was summaries writing tools and that sort of stuff Yeah I was like Oh this might be our first look at Amazon s own AI for devices Right We ve heard about some of their chat bots We ve heard about you know it s improvements coming to its voice based assistant which I will not say the name of right now but like this for devices is basically rehashing what we ve seen before except for with an Amazon spin So the only thing that stood out at To me was that you can get the AI to generate new wallpapers for the tablet which cool I guess the Alcatel idol four could do that You know it s just so many Android s material You to quote a more recent example So nothing super groundbreaking But the fact that it s going to be available on a cheaper device the fact that it s coming to a tablet Just to recap like last week Samsung had the its FE event where it said it was bringing Galaxy AI to all right Samsung hammered home the point that with its new Galaxy Tab S series that now you ve got Galaxy AI on a phone a tablet and a watch It s you know Samsung It s quote bringing its AI to all I guess form factors And Tab S starts at I want to say maybe So it s yes it s coming to a different form factor but it s not necessarily super accessible And so now if you want to get a cheap little tablet for your kids for you can can get one that has AI or if your existing fire tablet I have a list of what s compatible If you want to upgrade that software you can also get access to Amazon s AI tools which are basically like every other chat GPT clone we ve seen in the last year and a half And that just brings me back to the point we were making earlier in this episode that it s becoming more and more prevalent We don t know how people are going to use it but now that more people are going to be able to use it and kids Ostensibly using a lot of fire HD tablets We got it We re gonna start seeing people Mass adopt these I guess I don t know That s where I m at with Yeah Devindra Yeah I mean it s compelling because these are such cheap tablets I don t know about like base model You re giving up a lot by staring at those Amazon ads folks but it s hard to deny The usefulness of a eight inch tablet The kids stuff is cool because they keep saying first of all there s ad free content their parental controls Amazon says that they are going to they will still replace those tablets if they break which is like the number one nightmare for a parent It s that Tablets are just screens like giant screens with glass and they will be destroyed by your kids The kids version of the E Fire HD puts them in a nice protective case They have this guarantee from Amazon so you feel a little better about it I still have not done this for my kids Like we I basically buy iPads on sale I buy old iPads on sale and that s really what we ve used as a family So my son is using an iPad from like with a cracked screen but that s what he uses like in the car if he needs to watch a video or something My daughter has a inch one of the more recent inch iPads But we she wants to play Minecraft She wants to play like a games from Apple arcade And you can t you are very limited in what you get in a Fire tablet These are sLowr machines They have a limited library of games They can t access all the apps that Android tablets can too because of the Google stuff is not included So just be aware of what you re losing with a cheap tablet That s all Cherlynn Yeah And that s why they re good for I guess kids but to Dpro s point in the chat this is e waste right out the gate Yeah Devindra kind of kind of No you reCherlynn not wrong I don t I can t argue Devindra It s a digital catalog For buying stuff on Amazon also for watching stuff on Amazon prime That s really what they want you to be doing And then oh by the way it can also do Netflix It can also do these other things but they just they care about their own stuff ICherlynn see I see the appeal of it being like a cheaper Kindle with a not great screen And I can only imagine what a summary AI tool on a Kindle book might do Like it s not I think going to work with Kindle titles but one day Final Evolution don t read books Just read these AI summaries I mean Devindra the AIs can already summarize books So I do Yeah I don t know if you ll get it all within text but it ll they ll do it through the cloud or whatever And then who needs to read who needs to really engage with content and wrestle with complex moral choices like just let s Smooth brain all the way AI brain means no tough choices for any of us And that s where we re going as a society Love it Love to see itCherlynn I will point out that a person in our chat I think it was I ve missed it but you pointed out that you were you re doing your master s Tom Rogers or Someone that you re using the Kindle scribe and that s the like Tablet that Amazon makes you can write on which like this week you know We are also gonna talk about a bit more about writing tablets And I think For me that s where Amazon s Hardaware is still intriguing And to be clear no new Kindle has yet been announced this year season slash whatever So we could still be waiting to see stuff from Amazon And I wonder what would happen if they decided to stuff AI into a Kindle Like I have no clue Devindra It s mainly the ink technology that keeps Kindles the price that they are They occasionally go down but they those do not have super fast processors Those are like really like basic devices I would imagine they could easily get some cloud AI stuff So like cloud source Hey some interesting topics that you know that these people have or also when you go on Amazon now you get AI crowdsourced user reviews I can imagine that being a thing In the kindle like store when you re browsing around Yeah Cherlynn I could see that I could see also with the kindle scribe Like I said being a writing or drawing tablet like they could not only give you prompts for drawing They could also Start an outline for you teach you calligraphy or teach you show like I used When I was reviewing the Kindle scribe originally I used it a lot for Japanese you re not going to practice So like handwriting practice for a different language I could see if AI would just generate worksheets for me That would be interesting Hire me Amazon I will think of these ideas for you That would be actually useful Devindra I don t think you want to work with Amazon No I don t know very few people don t work at Amazon I want to point out a thank you Mark Dell for this wonderful comment because it also fits into a bunch of things But he says somebody needs to make an AI pin that just listens to everything and makes every decision in your life Perfect For those who are bad at decision making it ll be the last decision you ever make That is a black mirror episode just waiting to happen That certainly is going to be a thing Also Yeah shout out to the Yorgos Lanthimos movie Kinds of Kindness which is sort of about that too which is sort about the idea that humans we kind of all just want to let go a little bit and let people make decisions for us and then be like little subservient little slobs So depending on your view of humanity you don t even need AI for that You just need you just need a Dom to basically build your entire life Let s move on to some other news How about that Cherlynn Did you see did Sonos stuff Devindra Sherilyn Cherlynn I did not but please explain to me I mean I saw it floating around and I kind of have the TLDR but I d love to hear your details TheDevindra TLDR is that Sonos released an app overhaul earlier this year It was supposed to be a big redesign for them and it was a disaster It was buggy It crashed a lot I honestly had trouble like connecting to my speakers properly It lost features including things like setting alarms that the original app did Disaster Like literally Sonos your only job is to give us the software to send music to your speakers That s all you have to do And what came out is that basically Sonos is a company that s been sitting on a lot of technical technical debt over the last few years So there s a lot of stuff The old app was Basically built on a lot of things and there were things they never cleaned up The kind of underlying technology is something they never cleaned up As Sonos was racing ahead to launch this app a lot of people inside the company were complaining about it and kind of raised the alarms and saying this is not up to snuff we should not release this And people were ignored People were kind of bullied for even bringing up issues So that s a great corporate environment that you want to see And now Sonos is at the point where they re just like fully fully Apologizing and basically saying that they re going to do everything it can to fix this So the quota here is our priority since its release has been and continues to be fixing the app There were missteps and we first went in went deep to understand how we got here and then moved to convert those learnings into action I love when everybody said anybody says learnings by the way Such wonderful corporate speak The quote continues We are committed to making changes to get us back to being the brand people love by offering the best audio system for the home and beyond And the quote I believe the Sono CEO so they re saying they re going to do a lot of changes They re going to do a lot more testing And they re extending the manufacturer warranty for all home speaker products including home theater gear and plug in speakers I saw the news that the CEO is also declining to take a bonus this year which is like the least you could do You re still going to get paid millions tens of millions of dollars Cherlynn Rejecting this little bonus on top of my multi million dollar salary Okay Devindra Yeah But at least it s more than most CEOs do often when a company screws up either somebody gets fired but rarely is somebody like Hey like I m just going to take a direct hit for this So Hey that s something good to see I would love to know what your stories are With with Sonos speakers at this point folks I still use them but it s stuff for sometimes I m within Spotify and I like to send audio from Spotify straight to Sonos that s hit or miss these days The Sonos app itself is still all over the place I still like Sonos speakers cause they sound so much better than a lot of them in the actual networking The actual synchronization stuff is great But just kind of a mess I feel like they should discount some of these things Be aware of the ARC whatever the new headphones are too That was kind of the thing they were rebuilding the app for AndCherlynn theDevindra ACE headset Yeah Those also don t seem like they re really worth buying at all too So check out our review of that whole thing Yeah Sonos is still keeping it real I guess trying to fix all these mistakes You have something you want to mention from Google Cherlynn Yeah just aCherlynn really quick bunch of news from Google There was this is like a drive by recap really because the stuff that I want to talk about apparently isn t happening yet Gmail is getting better summaries and Google is adding a happening soon tab to its Gmail service I like that I mean like sometimes Google has really improved Gmail Like I think Inbox was an app we all loved for a time and then they killed it But the Inbox was really where they surfaced a lot of these good features Oh there s a pack you know like notification You sayDevindra we all very broadly but it was certainly I mean the peopleCherlynn online at that time Devindra I remember Inbox being launched I m like what the hell is this This was like when Google had different video conferencing apps and couldn t decide on it either So I was mainly confused by Inbox but yes those designs did come over to main email Yeah Cherlynn I think there were some really interesting features that debuted on Inbox And then finally when they did get integrated into Gmail and then you know cohesively bringing all of them into one app is the choice to make I agree with that I just think there was some nostalgia for Inbox I still see online sometimes Anyway I mean I like when like for example last two weekends ago or something like that I was watching James McAvoy movie that I cannot remember the title of anymore Speak No Evil or something Devindra Yeah Cherlynn Okay I bought the ticket on an iPhone and had a Pixel Pro next to me Both had their SIM cards in them And the Pixel Pro had the SIM card Tickets just like the instant I hit pay and it pulled up the tickets on Google pay because gmail was so good at parsing the receipt That I got in my inbox and just pulling that information I mean yeah it s a little creepy but it s also very convenient for me whereas like You know other features like track your packets there s an event in this email I will add it to your calendar that sort of stuff is really helpful in Gmail And honestly I think it s not a bad thing I don t know if there s a net loss overall in terms of security and privacy but we ll see So anyway Google also updated its Chrome Plus Chromebook Plus Slate of products this week Go to Engadget com for all the details Nate covered it for us but yeah I mean as we continue to see all the big companies fight it out over AI it s nice to you know I guess see what else is being put out there Devindra That s something I mean it s also I guess we re still waiting for are we waiting for like a Google Hardaware event again Cherlynn No thank God I hope to God No if they did I would be very upset Devindra I mean looking forward we were waiting for possibly an iPad event slash Mac book event from Apple Something more from Amazon Cherlynn Exactly I m just waiting on Amazon Devindra It s a whole bunch of that There was a cool story Did you see this one It s really about a pair of students put facial recognition technology onto meta smart glasses basically to instantly dox strangers They re not going to be releasing this code This is more of like a project they did to prove what is possible And things that that basically are kind of trivial to add to something like smart glasses Did you see the story Cherlynn I saw the headline but what you re describing sounds a lot like that black mirror contact lens situation right Where you like scan people face recognition and immediately pull up their like profile info There are social network and it s not just black mirror right It s a lot of science fiction movies have done that but yeah I that s what it sounds like they re doing I don t know if I m mistaken Devindra So essentially like they it looks like it s going through the glasses but also going straight to the information is going to a smartphone We re actually seeing it too So you re kind of getting more information there I will say there is a certain Especially from a company like Meta which I m sure has looked at this stuff Like we have all your we have all your friends We know who your friends are We have all these databases of faces and names So we have that information too I m sure once Meta is ready to do like true AR stuff this is going to be something that they do I also think and I think I learned this later in life is that I m probably a little face blind I used to think I was just bad at remembering people But I personally think Oh I have I genuinely have a problem like deconstructing a face unless you re somebody with like really distinctive hair or something like that or like a really distinctive face things just kind of blur together for me So just professionally I could see it being kind of useful or socially I guess So I see the uses but yeah Cherlynn Like that scene in Devil Wears Prada where like Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt are instructing walking out to her That s your like nightmare Devindra Which is which Cherlynn Yeah but then like with the glasses you never have to worry maybe but again AI has to be like reliable What if it recognizes what if AI is also face blind and it s this is the governor or of I guess I don t know Minnesota I think I alreadyDevindra know to distrust my brain when it comes to faces So now it s just okay you re just helping Maybe I distrust you a little bit too but you probably You are probably better than me at some ofCherlynn this stuff However to be clear it s not as if Emily Blunt was all that reliable in the movie as well Anita and Hathaway the update pack to help her So we that sDevindra a great movie Cherlynn You know I saw that inDevindra theaters It s a great movie Anyway this is a story from media So yeah check them out at media co Love their work and love that they picked this whole thing up I also love to see like students doing this sort of work because this is what you want to see people doing like not being like I can t wait till I get a job at Google or Meta or wherever but also taking this technology and like pushing it to its limits and like showing what is possible and what could be dangerous about it too So this is super cool Did you have any thoughts Cherlynn Cause I know you went to talk about this before but Reddit s policy changes to make site wide protests nearly impossible We saw this story float up too Kind of interesting there Maybe a little disappointing from Reddit Yeah Cherlynn I am a chronic Reddit So I amDevindra as well Yeah Cherlynn Yeah Devindra Yeah Cherlynn When I m not playing match factory I am trying to rot my brain by doom scrolling Reddit and I know that Reddit has had a lot of issues recently too that s got a lot of us up in arms There was like that that you know what is it called Boycott Thank you Therewas a boycott last year or earlier this year Time is a blur but there was a boycott earlier because Reddit was being just Awful And but now today or this week I guess on Monday it Made it harder to site wide protest Basically it s changed his rules so that moderators of subreddits need admin approval to switch it from public to private It is that s one of the rules that s being changed and is being interpreted as a way to kind of curb subreddits from protesting and you know have being able to do so all at once Multiple subreddits cannot all go private at once without Reddit Admin approval It is very strange It feels as if this was related to the protest from last year because a post on subreddit our mod news written by the VP of community said the ability to instantly change community type settings has been used to break the platform and violate our rules in the past Right So It seems as if this could be one of the reasons It s only Devindra yeah I mean Reddit a site which is full of content that is created by the company Reddit right Fully editorialized content from edit No Reddit is a company that exists because people love to just post their own stuff You exist because of the users So now they re afraid of the users basically This is what this is showing once again Cherlynn there s a lot of other issues with reddit recently I mean the fact that the initial protest was in reaction to the API changes that forced third party apps to shut down That also led to a lot of accessibility problems And then the company during those The boycott just went in and took complete control of one of the big subreddits that had participated and then also recently licensed its content to train AI models So red has been making a lot of missteps lately This seems one of the more recent ones anyway it won t I don t think stop people from protesting in creative ways for me My funny reaction to this is people will just keep posting more pictures of Sexy John Oliver That s it Devindra Flood the zone Flood the zone with Sexy John Oliver I ve also started doom scrolling Reddit Cherlynnn because sometimes it s or Twitter is terrible especially when it gets I still see random right wing ads on Twitter but it s also that s where my friends are so that s why I can never fully leave Twitter Blue sky is kind of up its own butt sometimes with some of those users and Mastodon is fine but it s just the tech nerds Like I don t have as like engaging conversations there So sometimes you just want to like the internet as it was somebody asking am I the asshole Like that s Cherlynn am I overreacting Am I overreacting Devindra It s okay that s addictive stuff but it s all user generated content And that is the danger Reddit when you build your entire company I On contributions from your users So at some point yeah Cherlynn just a quick note too that I don t actually think a lot of the advice given on Reddit is good Like some of them like default to run and I m like what are you reading Two paragraphs and deciding that this person s entire life is boiled down to one word Stop but Reddit is also a very fun place Like I just I enjoy a lot of the inside jokes Some of them get a little overused and stale but It is a very fun thing It is a thing Devindra And also we ve talked about how Reddit has basically taken over parts of the internet where rather than googling questions often like people just search in Reddit to learn how to fix something Yes exactly Often when I m googling things like I end up going back to Reddit threads because that s what Google indexes Yes Yes exactly Because there sCherlynn multiple people with different expertise going in and giving you the answer on something and maybe one answer is wrong but some other answer below is probably correct We should talk moreDevindra about Reddit at some point Cherlynn We really could I love Reddit Devindra Alright let s move on to some stories from around Engadget And speaking of writing on e paper Mr Daniel Cooper wrote about the Remarkable Paper Pro It s a color ink tablet that you can write on It seems super cool Are you and he gave it he scored it Hehehehe So that s pretty high The only thing is this thing is super expensive So I think that s the main problem here but the actual tech like color ink is something I feel like we ve been waiting for a long time Price let me hear it s with the standard marker If you want the marker plus and you can add a case for and the leather one for So this is a very expensive e ink tablet Are you compelled by this Cherlynn Cherlynn That was the first thing I told Dan after I finished editing his review I was like I want to buy one of these and I might have to save up for it Yeah I look I am a Kindle scribe user I pick it up once a month to jot down my thoughts Do I think once a month of scribbles is worth as a starting price I don t know but it s cool as hell And it s a this one of the pitches and one of the reasons we gave it a high score is that it is a distraction free writing tablet right It s again like the ink tablets like the remarkable like the Kindle scribe you know books I guess is another competitor You don t have that It s not as easy to just go over to Reddit right And in a minute As it would be on a regular tablet So that s appealing I think Dan was a little nervous about giving such a high score because you know it s not a tablet it s limited in functionality but in its category I think Dan firmly believes this is the best And for me it s like a means it is the best in this category I canDevindra firmly also see Dan lovely funny British man just really quaking in his boots about this course Oh man is this am I showing too much emotion here Is this too effusive for me Cherlynn I will say he was wavering between I was like no the only difference here is that we give it a different color award Devindra Yeah Yeah But I m glad I m glad Dan likes it It looks I ve looked at the remarkable stuff for a long time Does this one also require a subscription Because that was like a sticking point for me before Cherlynn So Dan doesn t mention the subscription in his review And that is a good point He does mention that the software has been meticulously fine tuned to make it easy Kindle scribe I will point out that Amazon has done a lot of good hard work to improve some of its syncing over the year or months It s been like six years since I reviewed the Kindle scribe so that like you can now you know sync your notes across your Amazon app toting devices but you can it s editing them is still tricky I don t know It s not an easy space to be in Let s sayDevindra yeah Oh I see So the subscription is required for clouds thinking That is like a requirement for me If I have something like this like I want to be able to access my digital notes anywhere SoCherlynn anywhere exactly Devindra Put that into the price too But I ve been intrigued by the remarkables for so long And this one is just like the dream of color ink We re almost there It s super expensive but it does exist So That is that s super cool Yeah Maybe we ll all get to play with it at some point Also want to shout out Mr Team Stevens has written a test drive for us of the Polestar They re a long awaited SUV They re it s a compact SUV But it s like a flagship one for Polestar I m sort of intrigued by this too because Polestar is sort of like a sister brand to Volvo and I m into like what all the Volvos are right now Tim also did the Volvo EX video for us a couple of weeks ago or months ago That s also worth checking out but this one looks really cool If you want a premium luxury electric have you driven an electric car yet She ll end Cause I know you re in the process of learning how to drive Cherlynn Oh I don t know Electric I ve driven plenty of gas cars electric fuels Devindra I feel like we get to record that video of just you like having that experience of the instant torque And it feels real different Things can go bad really quickly with an electric car Cherlynn Yeah Devindra We shall see We gotta get Trillian on video That should be a video series at any gadget That d be cool ThatCherlynn might be yeah It can happen Anytime Devindra All right let s move on to what we re working on I reviewed the Asus ZenBook S the new one with Intel s Lunar Lake AI chips Really liked it So it s a nice laptop I wish we had more access to the to the Copilot plus features that it that update is not fully out yet So I can t test recall I can t test all those things but this is sort of Copilot ready It is a nice piece of Hardaware They re using like a weird ceramic metallic top two at the top of the lid which I think feels good looks unique and yeah Just really dig it So pretty solid ultra portable We re going to have a whole slate of like really decent laptops coming soon So looking forward to that Anything you want to shout out Cherlynn Cherlynn We just continue to plan for upcoming events and reviews Not a lot of gadgets will be coming in We just can t really talk about a lot of them yet And then I m hopeful that I ll be taking some time off in October All right Maybe you might not hear me for a couple of episodes on the podcast I know It s always every time I put requests for a time off it s always like maybe a tentative request Cause the only reason it s not that my team doesn t want me to go off it s the tech companies that are like surprise event And there goes my like I could still take it off Devindra Yeah All right Let s move on to our pop culture picks for the week What do you have Cherlynn Cherlynn So mine s not so much a pop culture pick as a just like general life tip And not anything that should surprise anyone So I ve been spending a lot of time watching YouTube more than anything So I think I sort of already talked about this The last time I was on that I canceled Hulu just cause it was getting way too expensive And I also already have Disney plus And then you know watching more YouTube I paid for YouTube premium So that s something that you know as a piece of advice that everyone s been giving YouTube premium is actually a pretty good solid thing to pay for So much stuff to watchDevindra basically Yeah Cherlynn exactly There s a lot to watch by creators but also even from you know filmmakers that are Hollywood titles out there There s I was watching bring it on the other day again for the th time on YouTube But I don t really generally like to like recommend things that we cover So I tried to stay away but we have a really good necessarily cover this I just recently started a course on Coursera It s the I can t remember if it s the Harvard course or the Yale course but one of the IVs they have a course on psychology So it s intro to psychology So far I m really enjoying it I think yeah This program was designed very nicely The modules are a mix of recommended readings on the internet and they re all free by the way but also these like specially created videos by the academic institution itself and the lecturer who teaches the course at Yale they ve combined it with this voice a transcript as well as these animations that make it very digestible So I really liked that And I think My tip isn t Coursera specifically but it s more like lifelong learning I think you re never too old to keep learning And it s so much more information s available out there whether it be YouTube or Coursera or any number of learning platforms I have been finding it really fascinating to dive into those So instead of you know and I m not binge watching Devindra You re doing something constructive with your time First of all Trillian of course for you to relax You give yourself schoolwork You re literally assigning yourself homework So this says a lot about when I mCherlynn not when I m not doom scrolling read it to learn about people or playing match factory I am sitting on the toilet on Coursera So you re doing fantasyDevindra schooling right now because you just miss the homework and the pressure and everything It s great But I agree You never stop learning I watch a lot of documentaries on YouTube I this is I ve just been like consuming stuff over audible more now too So like I found like nonfiction books are work really well for me over audible So that s been a good way to digest a lot of that stuff I m glad you re digging this Shrillen I m glad it s been helpful for you but yeah I cannot get over of course this is how Shrillen is unwinding She s just giving herself more work OverachieverCherlynn vibes Yes OverachieverDevindra vibes Totally Speaking of overachievers I feel like you should go to the theater and check out Megalopolis which is the Yeah Cherlynn I have been wanting to Yeah Devindra Because this movie is kind of a it is a spectacular disaster of a film but it s also like a very singular weird type of thing It s a Francis Ford Coppola movie that we ve been waiting for decades literally decades he s been talking about Yeah He has spent I think million of his own money to make this thing happen This is a movie about a man who s trying to build a magical utopian city because he thinks his country or New Rome his city is kind of falling apart like America today and New Rome is also New York and the imagery is all really blunt the performances are all over the place but it is kind of fun to watch Just how wild it is Like Adam driver stars is essentially a Robert Moses stand in this architect who is destroying parts of the city to build his utopia built with a new new material He discovered children It s called Megalon It s a living it s a living building material Isn t that Something This movie is just all over the place Tonally performance wise Aubrey Plaza is in it as a character named Wow Platinum She is a financial journalist slash broadcaster and she s also bringing her like her like spunkiness to this I enjoy the interesting people to cast less a fan of it Like bringing people like Shia LaBeouf who I don t want to see on movie screens anymore because he s a piece of garbage but The movie itself like you have Lawrence Fishburne monologuing also working as like the assistant to Adam driver His voice just lends so much gravitas to this It is a big dumb thing That is it is a wild swing is a wild performance swing I think for theater kids I think maybe for you too Cherlynn like I I think you fit within the theater kid mold butCherlynn I m kind of a theater kid It is Devindra it is very much within that It s a wild swing about Oh society is crumbling and what can save it Maybe one genius man If we just follow him maybe this could be it At one point Adam driver does the to be or not to be soliloquy and just Does the whole thing because he does that to prepare like it s a thing he does to get into his acting mode And I think at one point Francis Ford Coppola was like yeah we re just going to keep it in the movie We re just kidding You re walking around the set The to be or not to be has nothing to do With what is actually happening in the movie he likes he liked it So they kept it in this movie is all over the place It s not going to it s doing terribly in theaters It may go away soon but it sure is a spectacular thing to watch on a big screen And yeah talk about overachievers like Mr Francis Ford Coppola who you know was tasked to do the Godfather at the age of He was a really young man when he started working on that movie to make some of the best movies ever made and then to Basically have a really weird late stage career where he is continually trying to reinvent cinema This is his big dream project It s a mess but it is it s not boring you know it is a really interesting thing to see You can see clips of the performances Just a thing I ll recommend especially if you have time and you want to see like a wildly ambitious thing Something I do think you ll showing because I know you ve watched anime in the past and you re a fan There is a new show that everybody s been waiting for It s called Dan Da Dan It is premiering today or yeah it s premiering today on Netflix and Crunchyroll This show is like watching FLCL for the first time It is just a big dose of wild anime energy It
