The Phantom Ultimate 2 is Tecno’s first triple foldable concept phone. It follows the Phantom Ultimate, a rollable concept phone. Following the discovery of a trifold phone from Huawei, we now have another Chinese company in the mix: Tecno's Phantom Ultimate 2, a concept phone that was unveiled on Tuesday at the Berlin IFA technology conference. According to Tecno, this foldable phone "reimagines the large-screen experience in a pocket-sized device." In contrast to book-style folding phones like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Google's Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the Phantom Ultimate 2's cover screen unfolds into a larger "screen" measuring 10 inches, which is noticeably larger than the 7.6- and 8-inch displays found on its book-style peers. Tecno claims that portability is not compromised by the Ultimate 2. The proposed trifold phone model has a thickness of 11.1 millimeters, which is marginally thicker than the existing book-style phones. The Phantom Ultimate...

  At a Delta Air Lines maintenance facility close to the Atlanta airport on Tuesday, a tire explosion claimed the lives of two workers and critically injured another.

PARIS (Reuters) - Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of the messaging app Telegram, is a Russian-French billionaire. He was detained on Saturday night at the Bourget airport outside of Paris, according to TF1 TV and BFM TV, which cited anonymous sources. Durov was traveling in his private jet, according to TF1's website, which also stated that he was the subject of an arrest warrant in France as part of an initial police investigation. With close to one billion users, Telegram is particularly influential in Russia, Ukraine, and the former Soviet Union. It is ranked as one of the major social media platforms after Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, and Wechat. The French Interior Ministry and police had no comment. TF1 and BFM both said that the investigation was focused on a lack of moderators on Telegram, and that police considered this situation to allow criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app. Durov, a Russian native, and his brother launched Telegr...

  Although generative AI is still in its infancy, it has apparently shown its worth in powering coding assistance rather quickly. According to a Financial Times story published on Friday, August 23, GitHub Copilot, an AI coding helper owned by Microsoft, has attracted around 2 million paying customers since its inception in 2022 and has helped GitHub's income rise by 45% year over year. GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke stated in the article, "We found very quickly that GPT-3, OpenAI's first big model, was so good at creating code that we could develop a solution around this." The study claims that AI assistants for creating and modifying code have also been developed by Amazon, Meta, and Google. In this space, a number of startups are also in competition: Replit, Anysphere, Magic, Augment, Supermaven, and Poolside AI. According to the study, these companies have raised $906 million since January 2023, including $433 million thus far in 2024. According to a 2023 McKinsey estim...

For months, the multiplayer game was essentially undiscovered. In the most understated manner possible, Valve has finally and formally unveiled Deadlock. The game now has a straightforward announcement and a Steam page with Valve listed as the publisher and developer: Deadlock is a work in progress that features a lot of impromptu artwork and experimental gameplay. Right now, only friends invited by our playtesters can access. Valve only offers an animated teaser image without any other information. (A still screenshot of it is shown above.) All that is specified in the system requirements is that the game needs an operating system and processor that are 64-bit. Although the game has supposedly been kept under wraps until now, information about it has been leaking for months. Data from closed playtests began to surface in May. Tens of thousands of individuals have joined the game by August as more players encouraged their friends to give it a try. The Verge published a hands-on preview...

 According to one trading desk, cryptocurrency markets are predicted to stay unstable before Friday's U.S. inflation report. Over the last day, cryptocurrency heavyweights saw a sharp decrease in value, with meme coins like dogecoin and shiba inu leading the dip. For clues about the future of bitcoin, the market is awaiting Friday's U.S. PCE inflation data. Some analysts have pegged a decline to as low as $60,000. With traders expecting Friday's Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation data in the United States and warning of additional drops in the price of bitcoin (BTC), some of the top cryptocurrencies dropped as much as 5% in a single day.

Following a brief recovery to $70,000 at the beginning of the week, Bitcoin has been testin...

 Regarding the veracity of the treasure trove of records, the organization remained silent till today. They verified today that a set of 2,500 officially released internal Google documents, which contain information regarding the data the company gathers, are genuine. Google has not released a statement regarding the files up until now. The documents in question detail data that Google is keeping track of, some of which may be used in its closely guarded search ranking algorithm. The documents offer an unprecedented — though still murky — look under the hood of one of the most consequential systems shaping the web. “We would caution against making inaccurate assumptions about Search based on out-of-context, outdated, or incomplete information,” Google spokesperson Davis Thompson told  The Verge  in an email. “We’ve shared extensive information about how Search works and the types of factors that our systems weigh, while also working to protect the integrity of our re...

  Buying US is T-Mobile's plan. In a $4.4 billion agreement, Cellular's cellular operations and other spectrum assets were acquired, further dominating the market. T-Mobile would gain over 4 million new subscribers and command the American market. Approximately 30% of spectrum assets across many frequency bands are used for cellular's wireless operations. T-Mobile will also extend the lease period for the roughly 600 buildings where it now occupies a tenantship and enter into a new master license deal on more than 2,000 towers. The acquisition would "provide a better experience for all of our customers with more coverage and more capacity," according to T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert. It can also mean that an industry with fewer participants than ever is about to see further consolidation. Analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities stated, "The writing is on the wall for the carriers and consolidation is now on the horizon and might speed up into 2025." "We ...

 Several AI functions are available for the first time on Acer's latest Chromebooks. Google revealed on Tuesday that it will be bringing Gemini and AI capabilities from its other devices to Chromebook Plus laptops, which will include new models from Acer and others that are already available from Asus and HP. New capabilities like Google's "Help me write" tool and the ability to create personalized wallpaper using generative AI will be supported by these and future Chromebook Plus computers. The Magic Editor feature found in Google Photos will soon be available on Chromebook Plus. It has also begun to show up on older Android smartphones.

For quicker and more convenient access, Google added the Gemini symbol to the app shelf. Additionally, it is p...

 TOKYO (AP): "A revitalized engine." That is how Japanese carmaker Toyota unveiled their ambitions to reinvent the internal combustion engine in a way that seems futuristic. The massive automaker revealed on Tuesday during a three-hour presentation in a Tokyo hall that it will provide sleek compact engines that can also run on "green fuels" like bioethanol and hydrogen, or they can be combined with electric motors that emit no emissions to create hybrid vehicles. This occurs at a time when numerous auto industry rivals are promoting completely electric cars. China is stepping up its campaign for battery-electric vehicles, and BYD, a company there, looks like it could overtake Tesla in this regard. The goal of the "engine is optimized for the electrification era," according to Toyota CEO Koji Sato, is to contribute to the global transition to "carbon neutrality." Toyota already produces the well-known Prius, a hybrid vehicle that combines an elect...

  Only a few weeks after disbanding a team dedicated to AI safety, OpenAI said on Tuesday that it had formed a new committee to provide safety and security recommendations to the company's board. OpenAI announced in a blog post that Bret Taylor, the chair of the company's board, and Nicole Seligman, a board member, will lead the new committee in addition to CEO Sam Altman. The news comes after Jan Leike, an OpenAI executive with a safety focus, left the company in a highly publicized manner last month. Leike quit from OpenAI, claiming that leadership tensions had "reached a breaking point" and that the business has underinvested in AI safety efforts. It also coincides with the resignation of Ilya Sutskever, a different team leader at OpenAI who was in charge of making sure AI advancements meet the requirements and goals of people. Sutskever oversaw the group known as "superalignment." Sutskever was a major factor in Altman's abrupt resignation as CEO las...

 A lot of people who use adblockers have noticed that YouTube videos are now abruptly skipping to the very end. YouTube has been enforcing its policy against the usage of adblockers for the previous few months. Beginning last year, the site would encourage users to disable their adblockers, which would prevent videos from playing if they disregarded the notification. Many people decided to remove their adblockers as a result, and some creative solutions also appeared. Many people have observed this week that YouTube videos are abruptly ending at the end of the video. The video nearly instantly jumps to the finish, even if it has just been repeated. It's an odd occurrence that seems to be limited to people who have adblockers installed. Everything functions normally when the blocker is deactivated. Users also mention that this occurs when the movie is viewed again and that, in certain situations, trying to fast-forward to a certain moment causes the video to load indefinitely. Beca...

The third phase of the China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund is the newest investment vehicle. The National Enterprise Credit Information P...

  Elon Musk's AI company, now valued at $24 billion, has raised an additional $6 billion from investors, including Saudi princes and venture capitalists in Silicon Valley. According to a blog post published by xAI on Sunday, investors that contributed to the second round of investment included Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, Andreesen Horowitz, and Sequoia Capital. Musk, who established xAI in July of last year, stated in a post on X on Monday that the company had a $18 billion valuation prior to obtaining the additional money and that there would be "more to disclose in the coming weeks." The new funding, according to xAI's article, will be utilized to establish advanced infrastructure, speed research and development of future technologies, and bring the company's "first products to market." The money positions the business as a possible competitor of OpenAI, the AI research team that created the enormously well-liked chatbotChatGPT. Musk was a co-foun...

 Ethereum ETFs: A Help Not too far off, Yet Value Takes an Impermanent Plunge The universe of Ethereum is buzzing with the chance of Ether ETFs (Trade Exchanged Assets) at last receiving the approval from the SEC (Protections and Trade Commission). This possible change in guidelines has started a flood of fervor in the crypto local area, in spite of an astounding plunge in Ether's cost today. What's going on with Ether ETFs? For those new, ETFs are speculation vehicles that track the hidden worth of a resource, for this situation, Ether. Their endorsement would permit customary financial backers to acquire openness to Ethereum without straightforwardly purchasing and holding the cryptographic money itself. This could be a unique advantage for Ethereum, drawing in a more extensive pool of financial backers and possibly helping its general worth. For what reason is the SEC thinking about this? The SEC has generally been mindful about supporting crypto-related ETFs, refering to wo...

In the consistently developing universe of Man-made consciousness, Google's artificial intelligence device "Artificial intelligence Outlines" has hit an obstacle. This as far as anyone knows easy to use include, intended to give succinct outlines of complicated themes, has experienced harsh criticism for conveying mistaken and misdirecting data.

Reports demonstrate that man-made intelligence outlines have conveyed a blend of mistakes. A few models include: Created realities: One revealed blunder included crediting a bogus assertion to previous US President Barack Obama [AP News]. Falsehood: There have been situations where simulated...

  In response to a high-severity security vulnerability in its Chrome browser that it said has been used in the wild, Google released updates for the browser on Thursday. The vulnerability, which has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-5274, is related to a type misunderstanding fault in the WebAssembly and JavaScript V8 engines. On May 20, 2024, Brendon Tiszka of Chrome Security and Clément Lecigne of Google's Threat Analysis Group reported it. A software can become vulnerable to type confusion by trying to access resources of an incompatible type. Because it gives threat actors the ability to run arbitrary code, do out-of-bounds memory access, and cause a crash, it may have dangerous repercussions. With the development, Google has now fixed four zero-day vulnerabilities this month, following CVE-2024-4671, CVE-2024-4761, and CVE-2024-4947. The IT giant confirmed that it "is aware that an attack for CVE-2024-5274 exists in the wild," but it did not provide any furt...
