The Pixel Watch 5 Reports Your Blood Pressure and Insulin Resistance. It Measures Neither.

Google's new watch estimates blood pressure and insulin resistance from pulse, motion and sleep, returning a monthly trend rather than a reading. Neither feature is FDA cleared, and no validation data has been published. Malaysia and Singapore are on the rollout list.

Apple Built a Second AI Model to Get Into China. It Is the First Foreigner Allowed One.

Gemini Reached a Billion People. Google Did Not Say How Many Pay.

Google's assistant crossed a billion monthly actives on 11 August. The composition is more interesting than the total: about 63 per cent interact by voice, and 150 million images are generated every day.

ChatGPT Just Went Unlimited for Free Users. Read the Word "Text" Carefully.

The message cap is gone for typing, a better model is behind it, and file uploads, images and voice all keep their limits. The accuracy claim was measured on financial, medical and legal prompts.

Wetherspoon Did Not Ban Smart Glasses. It Banned Filming With Them.

More than 800 pubs, and the rule is about the recording rather than the device. That distinction is more durable than the headlines, and much harder to enforce.

How Much Internet Speed Do I Need? Stop Multiplying by People

The usual method — one person's needs times the number of people — assumes a connection gets divided. We measured it: one stream managed 78.1 Mbps while eight together extracted 152.8, so the household total rose 96 per cent even as each stream fell to 24 per cent of its solo rate. A link is filled, not divided, and a single-stream speed test understates yours by half.

How Much RAM Do I Need? Free Memory Is the Wrong Number

On a 17.2 GB laptop running a browser, a container stack and an editor, free memory read 0.06 GB — and nothing was wrong. The figures that carry information are the compressor, holding 7.82 GB, and swap at 4,421 MB in use. Here is how to read whether your own machine is rationing.

From February 2027, new applicants need 8,000 watch hours or 20 million Shorts views, double the current bars. The quieter change is that Shorts earnings become a recurring test.

Why Is My Wi-Fi Slow? Usually, It Is Not the Wi-Fi

A page load is five separate stages, and the radio is only involved in one of them. Timed across three real sites, the Wi-Fi accounted for between 0.01 and 4.46 per cent of the wait — while reusing a single connection made the same page 39 per cent faster. Here is how to tell which stage is costing you, including the one uncomfortable number that turned out to be ours.
