As Meta published its quarterly earnings yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg promised that AI would soon bring to social media the one thing we’ve all been waiting for: a “huge corpus of content.”

Reporting its best quarterly financials in over three years, Samsung has its chip business to thank. It’s making bank on memory chips for the AI industry, and will focus next year on mass producing top spec HBM4 chips to keep that success going.

The president says his meeting with China’s Xi Jinping was a productive one. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut by 10 percent, down to 47 percent, while China will pause new export controls on essential rare earth minerals and buy more US soybeans. Let’s see how long it lasts this time.

That’s the name the British public selected for a new leaf-kicking train rolling out next week. It will blast high-pressure water to remove leaves from tracks, a much bigger problem than it sounds like.

That’s when the company’s new flagship gets its global launch. We already know what to expect thanks to this week’s China launch event, including a huge 7,300mAh battery and fast 165Hz display, we just don’t know how much it’ll cost in the US and Europe.

Android Headlines and leaker OnLeaks have shared CAD renders of next year’s affordable Pixel handset based on leaked info, and you’d be hard-pressed to spot the difference between it and this year’s 9A. Hopefully Google has some upgrades planned under the surface if the design really is going to change so little.

After adding AI last month, Zillow now has DMs too. But we won’t rest until its social media-ification democratizes the process of throwing shade at soulless millennial house flips.

Android Authority has done its usual digging around and discovered code for home screen widgets in Android Auto. They’re clearly still a work-in-progress, but should eventually let you run one widget at a time on the left third of the screen.
