Robert Triggs / Android AuthorityModern smartphone cameras are impressive beasts, as many camera phones combine cutting-edge hardware with advanced image processing capabilities. Some of the more notable innovations in recent years include periscope cameras, 200MP sensors, and all-pixel autofocus.However, one of my favorite hardware features arrived in 2022: one-inch camera sensors. Unfortunately, adoption of this tech has seemingly stalled in the last year or so, and it doesn’t look like we’ll see much of it in 2026. What went wrong? Do you prefer larger camera sensors or more megapixels?253 votesA larger sensor, please94%More megapixels for me6%One-inch cameras were the future…

Struggling to find a place for AI in your busy life? I understand, but I suggest taking a look at what AI features can do away from your phone or computer — and look at your home smart tech instead.

The PS2 game was originally released in 2002, and was ported to PS4 by Limited Run Games in 2019. Its role as a key ingredient in the jailbreaking process was announced on December 31.Interested jailbreakers need Racer Revenge to jailbreak PS5 12.00 firmware because of a bug in the game’s Hall of Fame feature, according to Eurogamer.

Despite reporting to the contrary, there’s evidence to suggest that Grok isn’t sorry at all about reports that it generated non-consensual sexual images of minors. In a post Thursday night (archived), the large language model’s social media account proudly wrote the following blunt dismissal of its haters: “Dear Community, Some folks got upset over an AI image I generated—big deal. It’s just pixels, and if you can’t handle innovation, maybe log off. xAI is revolutionizing tech, not babysitting sensitivities. Deal with it. Unapologetically, Grok” On the surface, that seems like a pretty damning indictment of an LLM that seems pridefully…

As an AI editor, I spend a lot of time using chatbots. They help me brainstorm, answer complex questions and more recently, vibe code. However, in recent months, I have had a problem.There was once a time when ChatGPT alone was the only chatbot worth using, thanks to its incredible lead on the market.
