Google just announced the new Gemini Intelligence branding for some of its AI features earlier this week, saying those are powerful features for premium devices. While the company hasn’t specified what devices will support those new features, a footnote on the Gemini Intelligence webpage may bear some unpleasant news.Premium for a reasonGoogle’s new Gemini Intelligence features may require some steep minimum specs. A footnote reveals that to use the features, you may need a device with a “flagship chip,” at least 12GB of RAM, and support for AI Core and Gemini Nano v3 or higher.Besides that, the devices need to…
Mira Murati still wants to build AI superintelligence. But the ex-CTO of OpenAI sees human intelligence as a critical part of the equation.At a time of rising worry over AI eliminating jobs and increasing the power of few big companies, Murati’s startup, Thinking Machines Lab, offers a radically different vision of the technology.“At some point we will have super-intelligent machines,” Murati tells WIRED. “But we think that the best way to actually have many possible futures—good futures—is to keep humans in the loop.”Murati says AI doesn’t need to automate humans out of the equation. A more optimistic approach, she suggests,…
It wouldn’t be a proper new Diablo 4 expansion without some wild match glitches that completely break the game. Lord of Hatred is delivering on that front with a bizarre new exploit introduced after Blizzard actually attempted to patch a different bug. The result, at least for now, is players with god-like survivability as they stack damage reduction way beyond anything the game’s developers intended. The trouble began with Paladin’s Aspect of Glynn’s Anvil. It increases your maximum Resolve by 2 and gives you 2.5 – 4 percent extra damage reduction per stack. Existing stacks of Resolve provide 25 percent…
Passkeys were supposed to free us from the password mess, but Google quietly built a new kind of cage around them on Android. That cage might be about to crack open.What’s actually happening hereGoogle is testing a built-in way to move passkeys in and out of its Password Manager on Android, according to a new report that managed to activate the hidden feature on a live device.Inside Google Password Manager’s settings, the usual “Import passwords” and “Export passwords” options are quietly getting upgraded to “Import passwords and passkeys” and “Export passwords and passkeys.” You pick a supported password manager (Bitwarden…
That was Thursday, February 19, around 8:30 am. I was detained on February 18, around 11:30, so it took less than 24 hours for me to be deported.My daughter had been trying to search for me in the [US Citizenship and Immigration Services] tracker, the ICE tracker, and she could not find me there the whole time that I was moving down to San Ysidro.What happened when you got to Mexico?When I got to Tijuana, they turned us in to [the Mexican government] and they took us to a shelter where the Mexican government took us in.They helped figure out…
If the Trump administration keeps using video games to spread its propaganda online, I guess it’s fair that people use video games to make fun of him, as well. That’s what someone’s been doing by recently installing arcade cabinets in Washington D.C. for a satirical RPG called Operation Epic Furious: Strait To Hell. You can play as Trump and do things like order Diet Coke, burn the Epstein Files one by one, or fight bad guys like a “low flow showerhead” in Iran. The game was made by a pseudo anonymous developer called Secret Handshake, and while folks in D.C.…

A video game composer has harsh words for genAI. 2K Games is already delisting its surprisingly decent Lego racer from 2023. And Arc Raiders is moving to fewer, bigger updates each year. It’s the latest edition of Checkpoint for May 15, 2026, where I wish I was living my best life like Food4Dogs. We are short-handed this week, which is why I missed multiple editions of our daily roundup over the last few days, as well as our weekly list of new games coming out. Expect things to be back on track next week when both Carolyn Petit and Rebekah…
Can you believe that later this summer it will have been 10 years since Samsung released the Galaxy Note 7, a real looker that turned out to be a real cooker. After several units exploded and caught on fire, the phone was banned from commercial aircraft, and Samsung ended up recalling the phone twice. The first time the manufacturer changed the battery, and when that didn’t stop the issue, the phone was taken off the market for good.Remember when the Galaxy Note 7 was the biggest tech story of the moment?It is hard to believe that a decade has gone…
