DJI Neo leak reveals likely launch date for the tiny drone – and the GoPro-rivaling Action 5 Pro too

The growing number of DJI Neo leaks we’ve seen this week hinted at an imminent launch for the tiny drone – and now a new one appears to have revealed release dates for both the Neo and Action 5 Pro action camera. The reliable DJI leaker @Quadro_News posted a screenshot on X (formerly Twitter) showing launch dates for both products. If it’s correct, we’ll see the DJI Neo (and its Fly More Combo bundles) land on August 20, with the DJI Action 5 Pro arriving just over a week later on…

ChatGPT update brings a big multitasking boost to Macs – but getting it can prove confusing

Leaked Google Pixel 9 Pro video hints at two genuinely useful Gemini AI skills

The Pixel 9 launch event that Google has scheduled for Tuesday, August 13 is fast approaching, and information about these phones continues to leak on a daily basis. Today’s installment is what seems to be a promo video showing off the Pixel 9 Pro’s new AI tricks. The clip was posted by regular tipster @MysteryLupin (via Android Headlines), and given the backing track and editing style, it looks very much like a reel that Google is going to use as part of its launch event next week.

More of this please, Microsoft – we want to see more quality-of-life improvements for Windows 11 like better Voice Access and power-saving features

Windows 11 has a new preview build in the Dev channel – one of the earlier testing channels – and it brings some worthwhile improvements for voice functionality and power-saving, plus some other tweaks besides. This is preview build 26120 and as mentioned, one of the bigger changes is with Voice Access. According to Microsoft’s blog post for the build, there’s an improved “spelling and corrections experience” for the feature. This is used during dictation when you notice that Voice Access has misspelt a word, and it allows you to…

How developers can simplify feature engineering

Building real-world AI tools requires getting your hands dirty with data. The challenge? Traditional data architectures often act like stubborn filing cabinets, they just don’t accommodate the volume of unstructured data we are generating. From generative AI-powered customer service and recommendation engines to AI-powered drone deliveries and supply chain optimization, Fortune 500 retailers like Walmart deploy dozens of AI and machine learning (ML) models, each reading and producing unique combinations of datasets. This variability demands tailored data ingestion, storage, processing, and transformation components. Regardless of the data or architecture, poor-quality…

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A9 looks set to take on and maybe beat Amazon Fire Kids tablets

Samsung is updating the mid-range Galaxy Tab A9 Plus by launching a Kids Edition. The new device performs similarly to the older model, although several changes were made to make it more kid-friendly. The most notable of these changes is the brightly colored Puffy Cover. It’s made out of a lightweight, shockproof material “designed to withstand daily wear and tear.” It envelops most of the Tab A9 Plus, except the touchscreen, rear camera, speakers, and ports. A tether connects the device to one of three packaged-in Crayo-Pen styluses. The Crayo-Pen…

Survey says AI is more buzzkill than buzzword for marketing

It sometimes seems that lately, every company has been eager to slap the term ‘artificial intelligence’ on their products regardless of accuracy or relevance to the product. Grabbing the attention of potential customers with whatever people seem excited about at that moment makes sense, but AI may not add to a brand’s allure the way those employing that strategy hope it will. A new research paper from Washington State University published in Hospitality Marketing & Management claims a product highlighting its use of AI makes it less appealing to potential…

Need a power supply for your future RTX 5090? Cooler Master has your back with its fanless power supply

Even though Nvidia’s upcoming flagship graphics card — the RTX 5090 — hasn’t received official pricing and specs as of now, let alone a proper release date, it already has a component that’s compatible with it. Cooler Master’s X Silent Edge Platinum 850 fanless power supply is currently listed on Amazon for $488 (around £385 / AU$750) and is naturally compatible with the RTX 4090. However, what’s surprising is that in the listing it’s stated to be compatible with the RTX 5090, which is quite a tall order considering how…
