Google has dropped another bombshell on the digital search world. This time, they’re expanding their AI Insights to even more queries and introducing “AI Mode,” which promises a chat-like experience right inside their search engine. What does this mean for those of us who surf the web, and for those of us who make a living from clicking? Let’s take a look at how Google is changing the rules of the game and what we can expect.

AI journalism? Imagine a morning in 2030: you wake up, open your news app, and instead of a regular article, you’re greeted by a personalized story created instantly by artificial intelligence (AI), tailored to your interests, written in your native language, and even supported by a video where an AI presenter who looks like your favorite journalist reads the news just for you. This is no longer distant science fiction, but a reality predicted by current trends in technology and media. This is AI journalism in 2030.
Volkswagen has been on the electric scene for some time, but with the new ID.Every1 concept, the Germans have hit where it really counts – the wallet of the average European. If predictions are to be believed, this cute little electric car will cost around 20,000 euros in production, which puts it in the ring of affordable cars, where battles are being fought for buyers who want green mobility without a painful financial blow. But is the ID.Every1 really what Volkswagen – and all of us – need? Let's look under the hood of this story.
Sometimes you come across a phone that leaves you slightly speechless – not because it's throwing out impossible numbers on paper, but because it leaves you feeling like you've just paid a grand, but in reality you've only given change. The Nothing Phone 3a and its slightly more beefy sibling, the 3a Pro, are exactly that kind of case. For $379 and $459, respectively, Nothing serves up an experience that you could easily swap for a flagship – well, with a few minor tweaks, of course. And that's exactly what drew me to Nothing this year: because they don't have any more expensive models to protect in their lineup, they've thrown themselves into design and user experience without hesitation, where the price tag really doesn't hit you in the face.
The new Volvo ES90 2025: it's a Scandinavian electric revolution with 670 horsepower and advanced AI
The new Volvo ES90 defies any category – crossover, sedan, station wagon? None of these and all of them at the same time. But what we do know for sure: this Swedish electric muscle car combines technological advancement, comfort and elegant design all in one.
Have you ever wanted fresh herbs at your fingertips without having to toss bags of soil, curse over loose pots, and deal with stubborn dirt under your nails? Well, good news – nature has invented a shortcut! Some herbs can be easily grown, without any gardening complications. All you need are glass jars, fresh water, and a little sun love.
If you've ever used the classic WD-40, you know how effective this miracle spray is at fixing problems like rust, squeaky hinges, and rusty screws. But let's face it - who hasn't lost that tiny straw that allows for precise application? It seems to disappear just when you need it most. That's why WD-40 has introduced its improved version of the "smart straw" to solve this annoying problem.
Why lifting the limit on internal combustion engines by 2035 - represents the greatest possible risk to European innovation and ownership of car brands and the red carpet of the Chinese auto industry. So why, without decisive action, will we lose our car industry by 2035?
In an era where SUVs seem to rule the world, Audi is boldly continuing the tradition of elegant and practical station wagons. The new generation of the A6 Avant 2025 (C9) not only continues the legacy of its predecessors, but also brings even more technology, comfort and prestige. It will first be presented to us as a station wagon, with a sedan to follow in April.
Apple and AI?! AI has become a central battleground for tech giants. Google is aggressively investing in its AI labs like DeepMind and Gemini, Microsoft has become a major player in generative AI with its multi-billion dollar investment in OpenAI, Meta is developing its own Llama language models, and Amazon remains strong in AI infrastructure with Alexa and AWS. Apple? It's there, but... where exactly?
110 km/h on the motorway?! Ideas about lowering the maximum speed limit on motorways – from the current 130 km/h to 110 km/h – keep cropping up in Slovenia. The reason? Not only environmental (because lower speed means fewer emissions – this argument is quite pointless), but above all safety and traffic. With the desire to increase traffic flow.
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) could fundamentally change the way governments, economies and public finances operate in the next decade. Technology that is already outperforming humans in data analysis and complex problem solving could take over key tasks currently in the hands of politicians, consultants and economists. From faster and more accurate lawmaking to full transparency in the use of public funds, AGI promises a revolution that could significantly reduce human error and political bias.
