    Satellite SOS has started rolling out to Pixel 9 users.

    As Google promised last week, some Pixel 9 owners are now seeing the satellite connectivity feature arriving on their devices. Availability is currently limited to the US (with the exception of Hawaii and Alaska) and there’s no word on when the rollout will expand to other regions.

    Neuralink’s second implant recipient is using it to play Counter-Strike 2.

    According to the company’s latest progress update, the patient has used the implant in combination with a specialized Quadstick game controller to play the first-person shooter, in addition to designing his own custom Neuralink charger mount in CAD software.

    This implant has also remained fully attached to the patient’s brain, unlike the recipient of the first procedure.

    This system can sort real pictures from AI fakes — why aren’t platforms using it?

    Big tech companies are backing the C2PA’s authentication standard, but they’re taking too long to put it to use.

    The Pixel 9 makes it easier to transfer data from your old phone.

    While previous Pixel devices only allowed you to move over your existing data during the initial setup process, Google’s new Pixel 9 series has no such restrictions. Android Authority spotted a new “Back up or copy data” option in the device settings, with a “copy data” page that lets users “bring data from another device” at any time.

    Mozilla’s latest logo may be a prehistoric throwback.

    The company updated its existing “Moz://a” logo on a recent blog post, and German blogger Sören Hentzschel has spotted a new symbol in some Github code commits that may be used alongside it.

    It could represent a flag, but it also looks like a dinosaur thanks to that eye-like dot — which might be a cryptic nod to the Mozilla Foundation’s old mascot.

    A side by side comparison of Mozilla’s old dino logo and the new symbol found in code comits.
    The red dino logo designed by Shepard Fairey (left) was retired by the company in 2012, but the new symbol (right) might be a nice homage.
