Thanks to a string of leaks and Google\u2019s own teases \u2014 usually following said leaks \u2014 we know we\u2019ll get the official reveal of the Pixel 9 lineup.<\/p>\n
The Pixel 9 and 9 Pro will be straight-up successors to the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro but rumors suggest Google will add a Pixel 9 Pro XL, with a larger screen. All three of the phones are expected to have a redesigned, chonky camera module<\/a> and possibly even a new chipset.<\/p>\n Alongside all those phones, we\u2019re expecting a lot more news on Gemini, Google\u2019s flavor of AI powered assistant, and Android 15. Yep, we\u2019re on no. 15 already. More leaks and rumors point to updated smartwatches and wireless buds too. And, dare I say, a new streaming box. The Made by Google event kicks off August 13 at 1PM ET. Plenty of time for more leaks, right?<\/p>\n \u2014 Mat Smith<\/p>\n Intel will cut over 15,000 jobs in a sweeping cost-cutting effort<\/a><\/p>\n I really want to like Star Wars Outlaws<\/a><\/p>\n Meta\u2019s Threads has 200 million users<\/a><\/p>\n Don Lemon is suing Elon Musk and X<\/a><\/p>\n Boeing eats another $125 million loss over Starliner woes<\/a><\/p>\n \u200b\u200bYou can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox. <\/em>Subscribe right here!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n In June, music labels Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and Sony Music Group sued music AI startups Udio and Suno, claiming they trained their AI models by scraping copyrighted materials from the internet. In today\u2019s court filing, Suno acknowledged its neural networks do, in fact, scrape copyrighted material. It argued the scraping was all part of a backend tech process to create \u201cnon infringing\u201d new products. These don\u2019t contain samples, so where\u2019s the problem? Well, everywhere according to the RIAA, which represents music labels and initiated the lawsuit.<\/p>\n Continue reading.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n A new DLC pack for Fortnite<\/em> offered players a chance to drive the Tesla Cybertruck in-game. Now, a week later, several players have posted videos of a glitch when they used the Cybertruck during a match.

The suit alleged that Google\u2019s email platform labeled GOP fundraising emails as spam at a higher rate than those from the other side of the aisle. The ruling marks the second case the RNC has lost over allegations of unfair filtering by Gmail. The RNC filed a lawsuit in the same court in 2022. This dismissal with prejudice means it cannot bring the case to another court \u2014 but it can still file an appeal against Calabretta\u2019s decision. That is unless the RNC is busy with other things, like, perhaps, a presidential election.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
