The new app is “smoother and more responsive, with up to 30% faster load times,” Roblox says. Roblox initially came to PS4 and PS5 in October 2023.

Gemini with Personal Intelligence is rolling out in more regions.

The feature, which allows Gemini to pull information from your Gmail, Google Photos, Search, and YouTube watch history, is now available globally — except in the UK, Switzerland, and the European Economic Area, according to Google spokesperson Elijah Lawal.

Personal Intelligence is coming to Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers in these areas first before launching for free users.

Microsoft says its latest AI image model is a ‘production workhorse.’

MAI-Image-2-Efficient is debuting on Microsoft Foundry and MAI Playground today, as Microsoft’s “best text-to-image model” yet. It’s essentially a faster and cheaper version of MAI-Image-2 that Microsoft claims is a “production workhorse” for businesses. “Use it when you need volume, speed, and tight cost control — product shots, marketing creatives, UI mockups, branded assets, batch pipelines,” says Microsoft.

Get ready to visit Titanium Court.

The surreal new game won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at this year’s Independent Games Festival Awards, and now it has a release date of April 23rd on Steam. I highly recommend the demo, it’s excellent.

Sony’s wireless gaming earbuds now come in transparent purple.

The InZone Buds lineup made for PS5 and PC have a third color option: Glass Purple. Next to white and black, purple is easily the most stunning choice, albeit the most fingerprint-prone. The sometimes glossy, sometimes matte-textured see-through plastic is used on every component, from the charging case and USB-C transmitter to the earbuds themselves. The gorgeous set is now available for $239.99 from Amazon, Best Buy, and Sony.

Samsung’s RGB LED TV prices are cheaper than Hisense.

Never did I expect Samsung to be the more affordable option, especially next to Hisense, but its 65-inch R95H is $3,200 — $300 less than the Hisense UR9. The step-down R85H is also only $1,600 in the 55-inch size. As more companies announce pricing, things are bound to get more competitive.

A new Raspberry Pi OS update adds a password requirement to run ‘sudo’ commands.

Version 6.2 of Raspberry Pi’s Linux distribution, released on Tuesday, disables passwordless administrator-level commands, which were previously enabled by default for the sake of ease of use, despite security risks.

“If you use sudo for administrator-level access, you will be prompted to enter the current user’s password. In the terminal, the password prompt will appear as soon as you issue a sudo command.”
