    Google Maps could get more vehicle icon options soon.

    Right now, if you tap the blue arrow while navigating in Google Maps, you get the option to swap it out for blocky, cartoonish vehicle icons.

    But Android Police has spotted some new ones — along with choices for colors — seemingly coming in a future iOS version of the app that add more detailed icons resembling vehicles like a high-end sedan or a Rivian truck.

    That’s great, now put Mario back in.

    Here’s what it takes to upgrade the storage in a Mac Mini.

    As expected, adding more storage to the new machine isn’t as simple as swapping out the SSD module.

    Dosdude runs down the more involved process of replacing the module’s two NAND chips — essentially the same thing he did with a Mac Studio before.

    Sold.

    A piece of artwork called “A.I. God. Portrait of Alan Turing,” created in part by AI-equipped robot Ai-Da, went for almost $1.1 million at auction, writes The New York Times.

    There was a lot of human involvement, starting with combining the bot’s paintings of parts of Turing’s face:

    The works were then photographed and uploaded to a computer that used Ai-Da’s language model to decide on the assembly of a single painting, which was then completed using a 3-D textured printer; studio assistants helped to create a more realistic finished product on the canvas. Ai-Da then added marks and textures to the portrait to complete it.

    What if the entire Mac Mini is the power button?

    Say what you will about Apple putting the Mac Mini’s power button on the bottom, but it seems to have activated the maker community in some very fun ways, like this one from Mac developer Gijs Raggers.
