Android devices have offered a built-in screen reader feature called TalkBack for years. It helps people with vision problems to make sense of what appears on their phone’s screen and lets them control it with their voice. In 2024, Google added its Gemini AI into the mix to give users a more detailed description of images. Google is now bolstering it with a whole new layer of interactive convenience for users. So far, Gemini has only described images. Now, when users are looking at images, they can even ask follow-up questions about them and have a more detailed conversation. The…
Mitsubishi is officially jumping back into the U.S. electric vehicle scene—and this time, it’s not just dipping a toe. The company confirmed it will launch a brand-new battery-electric SUV in North America starting in summer 2026, marking its first fully electric model here since the quirky little i-MiEV left the stage back in 2017. The new EV will be a compact crossover, and while Mitsubishi is keeping most of the juicy details under wraps, we do know it’ll be based on the same next-gen platform as the upcoming Nissan Leaf. That means it’ll ride on the CMF-EV architecture—the same one underpinning the Nissan Ariya—which supports…

Waymo and Toyota have announced they’re exploring a strategic collaboration—and one of the most exciting possibilities on the table is bringing fully-automated driving technology to personally owned vehicles. Alphabet-owned Waymo has made its name with its robotaxi service, the only one currently operating in the U.S. Its vehicles, including Jaguars and Hyundai Ioniq 5s, have logged tens of millions of autonomous miles on the streets of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Austin. The Detroit automaker said it plans to integrate the Cruise technology into its Super Cruise system, which allows drivers to operate the vehicle hands-off on 750,000 miles…
Norton develops some of the best antivirus software and cybersecurity services on the market. While malware protection helps, Norton Password Manager can safeguard your online accounts with a cross-platform solution that makes autofill simple. I recently reviewed Norton 360 Deluxe and came away impressed with the full-featured antivirus that includes account security.

Wednesday afternoon, PlayStation and Gearbox Software teased new Borderlands 4 content and showed a lot more about the game than we’ve seen up until now, including new movement mechanics, two of the four playable Vault Hunters, and much more. The first part of the video showed a panther/tiger made of phase energy on its back in a decidedly cat-like pose, moments before it leapt onto an enemy and removed its head in classic Borderlands fashion. The 20 minute deep-dive gave players a look at the new systems in play with the latest game. Set on the planet Kairos, Borderlands 4 has…

GmailThe Gmail service, with more than 2.5 billion users worldwide, is constantly evolving, despite the fact that when it was unveiled in 2004 it was initially considered an April Fool’s joke. Since then, it has not only dominated the e-mail sector, but has recently introduced a new feature that is changing the way we respond to emails: adding emoji reactions. Google has officially announced the feature by describing it as a more expressive, direct and personalized way of interacting with emails. Gmail users can respond to messages not only in words, but also with images — such as a handshake…
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory in collaboration with the US Air Force Academy have developed a groundbreaking device that can measure the speed of satellites in space in real time. This innovative technology, called the Spacecraft Speedometer, promises to significantly reduce the dependence of spacecraft on ground-based radar and the GPS system. Autonomy for satellites To date, determining the position and speed of satellites has depended largely on their contact with ground stations or GPS, processes that can take hours or even days. In addition, GPS becomes unreliable during periods of intense solar activity, precisely when accurate tracking is…
