Motorola started the year off strong. The 2025 Moto G and Moto G Power proved to be solid midrange smartphones thanks to their lengthy battery life, high-definition screens, and decent camera systems. Now the company has announced a third model: the 2025 Moto G Stylus. As the name reveals, this model has a built-in stylus to help users jot down notes, navigate the UI, and enable better interactions with such key features as Sketch to Image, which utilizes artificial intelligence to bring crude drawings to life within the Moto Note app. There's also Google's Circle to Search, which lets owners look up on-screen items on the search engine just by circling them.

The RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. More than 1,500 people died when the ship, which was carrying 2,224 passengers and crew, sank under the command of Captain Edward Smith. Some of the wealthiest people in the world were on board, including property tycoon John Jacob Astor IV, great grandson of John Jacob Astor, founder of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Millionaire Benjamin Guggenheim, heir to his family's mining business, also perished, along with Isidor Straus, the German-born co-owner of Macy's department store. The ship was the largest afloat at the time and was designed in such a way that it was meant to be'unsinkable'.

A drone equipped with an antenna from a male moth can locate the source of a smell more accurately than any electrical sensors. Unfortunately, however, the only smell it can detect is the sex pheromone emitted by female moths. Electrical sensors for odours are commonly used to detect gas leaks, but these are relatively slow to react to smells and even slower to reset between measurements, says Daigo Terutsuki at Shinshu University, Japan. "It's very difficult to apply that to…

The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has released the administration's revised policies for the use of AI in federal agencies. As Reuters notes, it has altered Biden-era guidelines and has rescinded orders by the previous administration related to safety over the technology's use. The Trump administration said it's shifting towards a "forward-leaning, pro-innovation and procompetition mindset" instead of maintaining and "pursuing the risk-averse approach" of Biden's government. Before Trump took office, the government ordered federal agencies to ensure that any AI tools they use "do not endanger the rights and safety of the American people" and to be transparent about the technologies they use. It also placed restrictions on AI acquisitions.

SAVE 25: As of April 8, ASUS ROG Spatha X Wireless Gaming Mouse is available for 124.99 at Amazon. I'll admit it: I used to think "more buttons" on a mouse was just a flex for MMORPG players who assign macros like their life depends on it. Then I claw gripped an ASUS ROG Spatha X, and now I'm a convert. With 12 programmable buttons, a 19,000 DPI sensor, and a ridiculously slick magnetic charging stand, this mouse isn't just overkill -- it's the kind of overkill I crave. Still a premium mouse, yes, but considering what's packed into it, I think it's a fair price for something that basically moonlights as a spaceship.

Hours after I published our Friday newsletter, debating the price of Nintendo's new console, the company announced it would delay US pre-orders for the Switch 2 as it wrestled with a new set of tariffs introduced by President Trump. "Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the US will not start April 9, 2025, in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions," Nintendo told Engadget. It added that the console is still set to launch on June 5, however. Last week, the Trump administration announced a set of new tariffs on a swath of countries, including Japan (Nintendo's base of operations), China and Vietnam. Those last two countries, where Nintendo manufactures much of its hardware, will be subject to import duties of 54 percent and 46 percent.

Social media has recently been flooded with images that look like they belong in a Studio Ghibli film. Selfies, family photos and even memes have been re-imagined with the soft pastel palette characteristic of the Japanese animation company founded by Hayao Miyazaki. The update significantly improved ChatGPT's image generation capabilities, allowing users to create convincing Ghibli-style images in mere seconds. It has been enormously popular – so much so, in fact, that the system crashed due to user demand. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems such as ChatGPT are best understood as "style engines".

Reading is one of the main ways to stay informed and entertained in an increasingly busy world to live in. Consider that you have used your computer to click on the screen and are now reading an article (such as this one)--either to gain its information, or simply to gain its fun. As an article reader, you may have questions you need to know the answers to about whether the article you're about to read was written by artificial ("A.I.") intelligence. Here are signs that the article you're reading bears the telltale featherlight touch of A.I. Many authors from William Shakespeare to even including Edgar Allan Poe have used clarity as one of their tools with which to make persuasive arguments.

The trade war between the world's two biggest economies shows no signs of slowing down - Beijing has vowed to "fight to the end" hours after US President Donald Trump threatened to nearly double the tariffs on China. That could leave most Chinese imports facing a staggering 104% tax - a sharp escalation between the two sides. Smartphones, computers, lithium-ion batteries, toys and video game consoles make up the bulk of Chinese exports to the US. But there are so many other things, from screws to boilers. With a deadline looming in Washington as Trump threatens to introduce the additional tariffs from Wednesday, who will blink first?
