We’ve all been there. A fragment of a melody, an earworm from a movie, or a half-remembered tune from years ago gets stuck in your head, and it’s maddening. For years, Google’s “hum to search” feature has been the gold standard for solving these musical mysteries. Now, that powerful tool is making its way to a new home: Gemini.

But is this just a new coat…

The world of mobile gaming accessories is heating up, and it looks like Redmi is ready to enter the arena in a big way. In a quiet reveal, the Xiaomi sub-brand has unveiled its first-ever Redmi Game Controller, and from this first look, it’s clear they aren’t playing around.

In the race to dominate the future, every major tech company is betting big on artificial intelligence. But while they all agree AI is the future, they are deeply, philosophically divided on what that future should look like. Nowhere is this clearer than in the starkly different visions of Meta and Apple. On one side, you have Meta, pouring billions into the quest for an AI that is demonstrably smarter than any human—a true Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), or even a superintelligence. On the other, you have Apple, the famously pragmatic giant, which effectively dismisses the current chase for AGI…

This isn’t just summarizing a YouTube link; this is you, pointing your camera at something, and then asking the AI what it sees. It’s a massive leap towards a truly multimodal AI that can interact with the world…
Let’s be real, there isn’t a single Windows user who hasn’t wished for a little more speed from their PC. While clearing out startup apps and running disk cleanup are the usual go-to solutions, sometimes you want to peek under the hood and do some real tuning. That’s where the Windows Registry comes in. Think of the Registry as the central nervous system of your PC—a massive database containing all the low-level settings for Windows and your installed applications. Tweaking it can unlock some noticeable performance gains. But it’s also the fastest way to break your operating system if you…
If you got a weird sense of déjà vu watching Apple’s latest WWDC keynote, you’re not alone. As Apple unveiled its “once-in-a-decade” software redesign for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, a single thought echoed across the tech world: “Wait a minute… I’ve seen this before.” The new design language, dubbed “Liquid Glass,” is a stunning showcase of translucent menus, glossy icons, and refractive materials. It’s beautiful, it’s futuristic, and it’s also a dead ringer for the “Aero” theme from Microsoft’s most infamous operating system: Windows Vista. The irony is almost too perfect.
