Apple in iOS 18.2 beta 2 added a new feature to the Find My app, which is designed to allow you to share a lost item's location with a trusted person. Apple says that the feature is meant to help you locate an item through a third-party, like an airline employee. In the ‌Find My‌ app, there's now an option to "Share Item Location" and "Show Contact Info." Choosing the Share Item Location option creates a link that allows som eone to see the location of a lost item when they open the link. The link can be opened on a non-Apple device, so people without an iPhone or Mac can help you find something that's lost. ‌Find My‌ links that you share expire after a week and you can see how many people visited the link. Shared links stop working when an item is returned to you or when the link sharing date expires. Choosing Show Contact Info lets any phone or tablet connect to a lost item to open a website with more information about it, including the phone n

Plenty of older RX 6000 series graphics chips need to be sold, as Asus has launched another variant of the RX 6750 GRE 10GB (via @momomo_us on X). Launched under Asus's Atlas Shark or Megalodon brand, this new model of an old GPU features three fans and a dual BIOS switch that can toggle the card from performance to quiet mode. These are, of course, standard features for a card launched in 2024. What's more interesting is that this is an RX 6750 GRE 10GB, which AMD launched just over a year ago. The 6750 GRE, which comes in 10GB and 12GB variants that differ in memory capacity and core count, frequency, and power, is a China-exclusive model that exists primarily to sell off the old stock of RX 6000 GPUs. These cards are based on the Navi 22 chip, also used in the RX 6700 XT, the RX 6650 XT, and the RX 6600. Asus launching a new model featuring the Navi 22 chip implies efforts to clear out old inventory haven't succeeded. That's even though the RX 6750 GRE 12GB beat

I happen to live in Los Angeles, where noise pollution is no joke.

Google is shifting its Android release schedule, with the next major update coming in the first half of 2025 rather than the second half. That means net-gen flagship phones from companies like Samsung are more likely to ship with an operating system that isn't nearly a year old. In other recent tech news from around the web, more details about the upcoming Google Pixel 9a have leaked, OpenAI is turning ChatGPT into a search engine (among other things), one of the only battle royale games available on the Steam Deck is… no longer available on the Steam Deck, and Mozilla has launched the first version of its Thunderbird email app for Android. Here's a roundup. Google Pixel 9a Complete Specs Leak [Android Headlines] According to the latest leak, the Pixel 9a will launch early next year with a 6.3 inch, 120 Hz display, a Google Tensor G4 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage. It's said to have a 5,000 mAh battery, 18W wired charging, 7.5W wireless, and a

With the second beta of iOS 18.2 that's available for developers today, Apple has further fleshed out the ChatGPT integration that's available with Siri. In the Settings app, there's now a section that shows the ChatGPT daily limit, and offers an option to upgrade to the paid ChatGPT Plus plan. The beta includes an Advanced Capabilities section with a "Daily Limit" reading that shows up as "Under Limit" without a paid ChatGPT plan. Users have access to a small number of requests that use the most adva nced ChatGPT capabilities, and requests are downgraded to a basic version of ChatGPT after that. OpenAI has long restricted access to ChatGPT's most advanced feature set to a paid Plus plan, so accessing ChatGPT through ‌Siri‌ is subject to the same limitations. There is an option to upgrade to ChatGPT Plus, which is priced at $19.99 per month. ChatGPT Plus provides 5x more messages on the newest version of ChatGPT, GPT-4o. It also allows for

We waited several years for a new Apple iPad Mini, but the 2024 model launched less than two weeks ago, on October 23rd. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait that long for the first deals to start showing up. Today, the Apple iPad Mini with an A17 Pro chip has hit a new record-low price of just $399.99. That is a really lovely $99.01 discount! Get the 2024 Apple iPad Mini for just $399.99 This deal is available from Amazon, and maximum savings are only reached after manually clipping a coupon on the purchase page . Another critical factor to keep in mind is that this offer is not available for the Space Gray model. The coupon only appears for the Blue, Purple, and Starlight models. This deal changes things up a bit. We usually recommend the 2021 Apple iPad Mini to most people because it’s still great, and the latest discounts have brought it down to $349.99. Now that the 2024 iPad Mini is only $399.99, though, the $50 upgrade is definitely much more enticing. The new Apple iPad Mini c

Whether you're using a Raspberry Pi, Pico, Arduino or ESP32, there is always a great selection of add ons and accessories for your chosen board. If you want to attach sensors, motors, switches and lights to your microcontroller with the minimum of hassle, consider getting components that connect via the Stemma QT (aka Qwiic, QW / ST or Maker Port) or Grove standards.  If your microcontroller / Single Board Computer (SBC) has a connector for one of these standards, you can easily connect to add-ons, with no soldering required. And if your board doesn't support one of these connections out of the box, an add-on / HAT is available to provide the connectivity. You can even connect them directly to the microcontroller pins with some wires and breadboard, just don't forget the pull-up resistors. These connections make it easy for learners and children to build electronic projects.  Take for example Cytron's Edu Pico which uses Grove connectors for easy connections. By al

Following the iPad mini launch last week and a tease about Mac announcements for this week, Apple indeed made three key Mac product announcements: new iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro models. These machines bring the M4 chip series to Apple's Mac lineup for the first time, but each in its own way offers several new features and changes that go beyond processors, so read on below for details on all of the h ardware announcements plus the release of iOS 18.1 and related updates with Apple Intelligence! Apple Announces MacBook Pro Models With M4 Pro and M4 Max Chips, Thunderbolt 5 Support, and More Apple saved the biggest news as a wrap-up for the three-day flurry of announcements, and that's the MacBook Pro. The entry-level 14-inch machine with the M4 chip got a major upgrade bringing it closer in line with higher-spec models with features like a space black color option, a third Thunderbolt port, and more. The higher-end models with M4 Pro and M4 Max chip options

TL;DR A new leak suggests One UI 7 has an AI-based notification summary feature similar to Apple’s. The feature, referred to as “AI notification,” is currently only available in Korean and may be limited to flagship Samsung devices. A new One UI 7 build has been confirmed, showing significant changes compared to previously leaked details. It’s raining speculation as far as Samsung’s delayed One UI 7 beta is concerned. Over the past couple of days, we’ve seen scores of One UI 7 leaks , including a massive one about new features and visual changes . We also saw Samsung publish an official Community page for the upcoming software update, indicating that it might be just around the corner. Now, we’re hearing that One UI 7 could borrow one of the most talked-about Apple Intelligence features — Notification Summaries. According to leaker Chun Bhai on X (formerly Twitter) , Galaxy AI now has a notification summary feature. The tipster claims Samsung is calling the feature “AI notifi

AMD's Radeon RX 6600 graphics card ranks ahead of the Polaris-based RX 580 in Steam's latest hardware survey for October, by the narrowest of margins. This makes the RX 6600 the most popular GPU in Steam from Team Red for two months straight, but it still fails to mark Radeon's entry in the top 30 list. As it stands, Nvidia holds 77.37% of the dedicated GPU market with AMD stuck hard at 15% for some time now. Currently, the RTX 3060 is the most popular GPU on Steam with a 7.46% adoption rate. It is followed by the RTX 4060 mobile and the RTX 4060 desktop, at 5.61% and 5.25% respectively. The RX 6600, in AMD's corner of the ring, is utilized by 0.98% of all Steam users now making it the most widely used graphics card from AMD on Steam. However, this is not impressive by any standard as the RX 6600 comes in at the 34th spot and is almost three years old at this point. We can spot a couple of RTX 40 (Ada Lovelace) GPUs in the top 10 from Nvidia even though this generatio

Google TL;DR There is a new Google Store in Chicago, specifically in the Oak Brook suburb. The store opens on November 1, 2024. It will be the first physical Google retail location not located on either US coast. When it comes to physical retail stores owned and operated by the best smartphone manufacturers, Apple is way, way ahead of any of its competitors here in the United States, with over 250 locations. Samsung is the furthest along, with just five US shops — a dismal showing against Apple. Google is catching up, though, with four successful shops. Unfortunately, all those Google Store locations are on the East or West Coasts, leaving many shoppers out of the loop. Thankfully, Google is making headway here. Tomorrow, November 1, the company will launch the first Google Store in Chicago, specifically in the Oak Brook suburb at 63 Oakbrook Center. This will be its fifth permanent retail store, with the other four being Chelsea (Manhattan, NY), Williamsburg

Apple is aiming to release iOS 18.2 for iPhones during the first week of December, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said today, in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter. Apple had already confirmed that the update would be released at some point in December, and now we have a slightly more specific timeframe. The software update includes additional Apple Intelligence features for iPhone 15 Pro models and all iPhone 16 models, including Genmoji for generating custom emoji, Image Playground for generating custom cartoon-like images, Image Wand for transforming a rough sketch into a full image in the Notes app, ChatGPT integration for Siri, and more. Read our list of all new features included in the iOS 18.2 beta so far. iOS 18.2 also expands Apple Intelligence to localized English in the U.K., Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. iOS 18.2 adds a few features beyond Apple Intelligence, including a new "Default Apps" section in the Settings app

Pixel's Market Share Explodes in Last 12 Months Google Continues It's Steady Growth in a Very Tough Market A research report on the market share performance for smartphones in Q3 2024 shows Google has reached new heights in the United States. Google has reportedly recorded its "highest-ever" market share growth in Q3, likely thanks to the Pixel 9 series. Samsung and Apple lead the charge, arriving in first and second place, respectively. Google's Pixel 9 series features three slab phones and one foldable, packed with Gemini's on-device AI software.  Google's Pixel smartphone market share in the United States in 2024 is estimated to be around almost 15%, which is its highest quarterly market share to date. This is due to the Pixel 9 series' staggered launch, with the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL released at the end of August, and the 9 Pro and 9 Pro Fold released at the beginning of September. The Pixel 9 Pro XL was also one of the top ten best-selling premium

If you've ever wanted to create the Nerf blaster of your dreams, no one understands you better than maker and developer JustFPV1, as he's known as over at Reddit. Using one of our favorite microcontrollers, the Raspberry Pi RP2040, he's engineered an insanely cool Nerf gun that shoots darts with crazy accuracy and more features than you can shake a dart at. He's dubbed the creation Stinger and considers it the "world's most advanced Nerf blaster." It's required months and months of work to get it where it is today and we're beyond impressed. Stinger has been souped up with a really high FPS that JustFPV1 suggests is well above 200. This is thanks to a dual-stage brushless drivetrain that helps match the motor RPMs for exceedingly accurate response times in the range of less than 100ms to fire when triggered. It's also capable of detecting jams. It features an HD screen that you can use to adjust settings and rotate through menu options with t
