The macOS 15.2 update that was released earlier today came with a handful of new features, plus something unexpected: an apparently accidental reference to the upcoming M4 MacBook Airs. MacRumors reports that the “Mac16,12” and “Mac16,13” model identifiers reference 13- and 15-inch models of the M4 Air and that both are coming in 2025. That a MacBook Air refresh is planned for next year isn’t much of a surprise at this point—in reporting that pretty much nailed the details of the first M4 Macs, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has said that the Air, the Mac Studio, and the Mac Pro are…
Microsoft is now rolling out the cloud gaming feature for games you own to Xbox Insiders, only this time it’s for Xbox consoles.

The model family can generate text, images, and speech while processing multiple types of input including text, images, audio, and video. It’s similar to multimodal AI models like GPT-4o, which powers OpenAI’s ChatGPT. “Gemini 2.0 Flash builds on the success of 1.5 Flash, our most popular model yet for developers, with enhanced performance at similarly fast response times,” said Google in a statement. “Notably, 2.0 Flash even outperforms 1.5 Pro on key benchmarks, at twice the speed.” Gemini…
The “right-to-repair” movement has become increasingly important in the tech industry. Regulators and some companies have pushed for measures to promote both the longevity and repairability of devices. Among the big names, Google seems to be the one doing it best. A recent study claims that Google leads in terms of right-to-repair legislation and implementation in its own products. Google’s Pixel phones have quite a few virtues, and they are getting more and more in the form of new features, more powerful hardware, better cameras, and long-term software support. However, the Mountain View giant still has a long way to…

“I think it’s kind of surprising that a lot of these things don’t happen sooner, to be perfectly honest,” Coles says, noting that many of these cameras, earpieces, and transmitters have existed for a decade or more. “You could do it with a very cheap investment,” Piallat says. “You won’t need a lot of money.” Clearly, these schemes are out there and available. So should poker players everywhere be concerned? Mini-camera cheating is now an open secret in the poker community, from its references in forums to an entire August episode from Berkey’s Only Friends podcast that covered the alleged…
