You can now select images or listings for clothes that appear in the chatbot, tap “Try on,” and then upload images of yourself to see what you’d look like wearing the apparel. Sound familiar? That’s because Google introduced a near-identical AI try on feature over a year ago.
According to Deadline, one of the shows that Vin Diesel announced during NBC’s upfronts in May is going into production. There aren’t any details yet on the status of the other three F&F TV projects Diesel had mentioned, while the 11th movie in the series, Fast Forever, is still scheduled to hit theaters on March 17th, 2028.
The official @microsoft X account has been compromised. Microsoft’s X account followed a Clippy crypto account earlier today, reposted one of its tweets, and had its profile picture changed to a Clippy one. The posts were then removed, but a strange “apology” tweet appeared around 30 minutes later and was deleted rather quickly.
“We have confirmed unauthorized access to our account on X including posts that did not come from Microsoft,” says Microsoft spokesperson Brent Colburn. “The account has been secured and the unauthorized posts have been removed, and we are continuing to investigate the circumstances.”
Update: Microsoft has confirmed its X account has been compromised.
A satellite equipped with Google’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) launched aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket on Thursday. The mission is part of Google’s Project Suncatcher, an experimental initiative that could eventually put AI data centers in space.
The three researchers — Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak, and Mikita Balesni — allegedly shared confidential information with an outside AI safety organization, according to The Wall Street Journal. OpenAI confirmed its decision in a statement to the outlet:
We have parted ways with three individuals for violating our policies on accessing and handling sensitive company information. Our investigation confirmed that these individuals mishandled sensitive information outside established company procedures, violating our policies and breaking the trust essential to our work.
The company says it will “reduce the reach” of Shorts content that’s re-uploaded without significant changes in an effort to prioritize “original content.” Instagram has made similar promises — but that hasn’t stopped swarms of anonymous accounts from taking over social media feeds through a practice known as clipping. I wrote about the ecosystem in May.
I know Nocs Provisions because of its neat-looking binoculars and monoculars. Now, the company makes tech. Its $179.99 Portal FN7 is an screenless outdoor camera with an IP56 rating, USB-C connectivity, six image filters, a digital viewfinder, and the ability to shoot 16-megapixel photos and 4K video. Notably, it includes a shroud that lets you mount one of its mono/binoculars for a closer look.

The budget-friendly Volt Gen 2 and Volt Max lineups still feature a built-in emulation of UA’s classic 1176 compressor. But add an emulation of the LA-2A compressor as well as three different preamp modes for Warmth (tube), Focus (solid-state), and Shine (British Class-A) that let you do a lot of tone shaping before you even hit your DAW.

Ever seen a lever-action card wallet with modular and magnetic parts you can easily swap without tools? It’s the OhSnap Wallet 2, it’s on Kickstarter now, and I love its compliant mechanism. I enjoyed using it as my wallet for a few weeks, but my phone does feel a lot lighter with it off! (I did buy the stand, though.)
Advanced Protection, which launched last year as an option for people who need stronger security safeguards, will now automatically lock down a device if it detects repeated authentication failures within settings menus and apps.
This builds upon several other capabilities available with Advanced Protection, including features that block unknown USB chargers and prevent apps from abusing accessibility features.
