Hand-picked News

Apple’s quietly testing a version of Siri that could turn your voice into full-blown app control and it’s closer than you think.

  • You could soon ask Siri to edit a photo, post a comment, or log in without lifting a finger

  • Apple’s testing this with Uber, Amazon, YouTube, WhatsApp, and more 

  • It’s powered by a revamped App Intents framework that connects Siri to app actions

Apple teased this in 2024, but now Bloomberg confirms it’s finally in testing. If it works, Siri won’t just answer questions, it’ll do things.

āœ… This could be a huge leap for accessibility, multitasking, and hands-free workflows. Imagine running your phone like a command center.

Quick tip: If you’re building apps, start exploring App Intents now. This shift could redefine how users interact with your product.

A Windows 10 user is suing Microsoft, claiming the company’s upgrade strategy is less about innovation and more about selling new hardware.

  • Over 240 million PCs can’t run Windows 11, yet support for Windows 10 ends in 2025

  • The lawsuit says Microsoft is forcing upgrades to push AI features like Copilot

  • Extended Security Updates are available but only if you pay, sync to OneDrive, or spend reward points

Windows 10 still powers 43% of desktops globally, yet Microsoft is pulling the plug. The plaintiff argues this move lacks transparency and unfairly pressures users into buying AI-ready devices.

āš ļø This could reshape how long tech companies are expected to support older systems and how clearly they disclose upgrade timelines.

Quick insight: If you're sticking with Windows 10, check out Microsoft’s ESU program to extend security updates through 2026.

Just when recalls felt inevitable, Ford slaps super-sharp AI eyes on the assembly line and it's already catching what human hands miss, in real time.

  • AI cams hunt down millimeter-level misalignments and missing trim parts as cars are built, not after they roll off the line.

  • Two systems in play: AiTriz (live video) launched Dec 2024, and MAIVS (photo-based checks) since Jan 2024.

  • Real-time spotting means no ā€œrip-out carpetsā€ fixes later—saving time, cash, and headaches.

Ford has led the auto industry in recalls 4 of the past 5 years. These AI tools aren’t just nifty, they’re a survival tactic.

āœ… Why it matters: Prevention beats recall. This isn’t just flashy tech, it’s Ford facing its billion-dollar headache head-on.

Try this: Watch your own creative workflows. Could a bit of ā€œAI-augmented checkingā€ save you from round-two edits?
