The reMarkable Paper Pro doesn't come with Android installed, but a YouTuber fixed that The port isn't perfect, but solves several flaws with the ereader The YouTuber wants to release a more accessible Android 13 port We adored the reMarkable Paper Pro when we first reviewed it back in 2024 . The “elegant writing tablet” combines a large color e-ink display with speedy writing response, and a distraction-free operating system to create a package that seriously delivers. Though we found it often lacks more features than it boasts. This is a downside of its proprietary Linux-based OS. It keeps distractions low so you can focus on writing, but means there’s a lot of essential apps without ports for this tablet. The solution, as YouTuber Chalid Raqami found, is to simply install Android yourself. Running Android 13 on the reMarkable Paper Pro comes with a slew of major benefits. It can suppor...

Here's something I never thought: What if my ears could see? The very idea of it conjures visions of earlobes with clusters of tiny, spider-like eyes. Of course, now we're all considering this possibility thanks to what appears to be a stunning crack in Apple's typically rock-solid dome of product secrecy. As we reported earlier this week , MacRumors dug into one of the macOS 27 release candidates and unearthed a short bit of video featuring a man wearing AirPods Pro earbuds but somehow using them with Apple Intelligence to save an image of a book for later. The guy isn't wearing glasses, so it's not the rumored Apple iGlass or Apple Vision Wear at work here. Instead, everyone believes this is the first confirmation that Apple is working on AirPods with cameras or "AirPods Vision," a pair of Bluetooth earbuds also equipped with vision sensors that, in concert with y...

Implementing AI systems will become more expensive as models become cheaper, experts warn Cost-efficient tokens are resulting in more complex AI agents Soaring costs could result in changes to how businesses rely on AI, as the inference paradox becomes more apparent The drive towards agentic AI workflows could be about to hit its first real challenge: cost. With more companies using agentic AI over chatbots, the costs are set to mount up. Analysts have raised the alarm on token economics, citing evidence that as the price of a token decreases, the resulting workflows are becoming increasingly complicated. Consequently, rather than driving agentic AI workflow costs down, increased token use is pushing costs up. The research by Gartner warns of the realities of the "inference paradox," which may lead to businesses reappraising their approach to AI development and use. What is the inferenc...

Ordinary Wi-Fi networks can reportedly identify people without cameras or consent KASTEL researchers achieved nearly 100% identification accuracy across 197 volunteers tested Wi-Fi signals can reportedly reveal people from different viewing angles A new study suggests that ordinary Wi-Fi networks could be repurposed to identify individuals without cameras, sensors, or their knowledge or consent. Researchers from KASTEL, the Institute of Information Security and Dependability at KIT, tested the approach on 197 volunteers in controlled conditions. Their system reportedly achieved nearly 100% identification accuracy regardless of a person's viewing angle or the way that person walked. A method that needs no extra hardware The technique relies on beamforming feedback information, a type of signal that connected devices routinely send back to a router. This information is transmitted without any e...

The Cherokee Nation has placed a moratorium on new data centers on tribal lands Citizens say they are concerned about the impact of new projects on the local areas Data centers projects on non-tribal land will not be granted support by the Cherokee Nation unless they are given early consultation Hyperscale data center development has been banned on tribal lands owned by the Cherokee Nation following a poll of its citizens. The poll was run by a task force headed by Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr., and found that 64% of the 1,593 respondents were opposed to the construction of data center campuses within Cherokee Nations lands, which cover about 6,963 square miles across 14 counties in Oklahoma. Citizens' concerns returned in a 37-page report focused heavily on water consumption, air quality, noise, and cultural resource protection. Cherokee Nation data centers require early consultation The ...

I'll go ahead and say it: anime is hugely addictive. I don't mean that in a bad way, either — from the moment the first episode of a new series completely grips me, I want to consume as much of it as possible. In general, anime have figured out a winning formula that blends archetypal, classic storytelling with cutting-edge action and visual craft, and it's why IPs such as One Piece , Jujutsu Kaisen, Solo Leveling and Demon Slayer have continued to do well. Thanks to Crunchyroll , we get to enjoy a bombastic range of smaller titles, too. Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon , That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime and, most recently, BLACK TORCH are just some of the unmissable titles (and with those names, how could you overlook them?). However, the missing detail that I've been intrigued about the most is how a typical day-in-the-life of recording works as on...

Have you ever had four religious experiences in a weekend? OK, that might be hyperbole, but if you had the weekend I just had at Audio Advice Live in Raleigh, then you can relate. Disregarding audiophiles’ apparent love of Steely Dan, I was enthralled and impressed time after time at what I was hearing. Just about every audiophile adjacent brand (and some more budget friendly enthusiast ones) was there showing off its best stereo speakers . Bowers & Wilkins showcased its flagship 801 D5 , Focal had its all-in-one active Diva Alta Utopia, Klipsch went back to one of its original speaker designs with the Klipschorn, and JBL had its new Summit Series on display including the almost flagship K-2 (the flagship Everest model didn’t make it to the show). All in all, it was an exciting time to get acquainted with these speakers. Of course, some of them cost the equivalent of a small house in the Midw...
