Is Instagram REALLY listening? Meta is once again battling one of the most persistent conspiracy theories of the digital age – that Instagram and Facebook are secretly listening to your conversations via microphones just to serve you those annoyingly accurate ads. In a video on the platform, Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, claimed that this is not true, and explained why we think the ads know what we just talked about. But honestly, Adam, can you really sell us this fairy tale without a shred of doubt?

Sora 2 is not just another TikTok filter, but a system that can create moving images, sound, and even a sense of reality from text. The question is no longer whether we will watch AI movies, but whether our everyday lives will become AI movies.
Imagine: you have the latest iPhone and Mac, but instead of flawless screen mirroring, you get an error message that drives you into frustration. In the EU, iPhone Mirroring remains unavailable due to the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which forces Apple to make compromises that Cupertino is unwilling to accept. We checked the forums and news - users are angry, and the solutions are reminiscent of hacker tricks from the 90s.
Google and Qualcomm are excited to announce the merger of Android and ChromeOS into a single platform that promises to bridge the gap between mobile devices and PCs. So - Android on PCs. Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon has already seen a prototype and called it "incredible." Get ready for computing that combines the power of smartphones with the flexibility of computers - all powered by artificial intelligence.
Apple has revamped Apple CarPlay 2025, adding a few features that will make your time in the car a little less frustrating – unless, of course, you love your car's factory software (in which case, you're in for a shock).
WhatsApp is introducing an innovative shortcut called "Ask Meta AI" that allows users to quickly verify messages they receive with artificial intelligence. This is a step forward in the fight against misinformation, but it still requires active user participation.
Instagram has introduced a bunch of new features, the most notable of which is… you guessed it: Instagram repost. Or in other words – resharing someone else’s posts. Something that almost all networks have had for years (hello, former Twitter/“retweet”), is now finally available on Instagram. Better late than never, right?

At a time when every other child is playing Fortnite and watching Minecraft streamers, parents are discovering a new kind of ambition: coding courses for the little ones. Codingal promises that your child will go from Scratch blocks to artificial intelligence faster than their first pimple. Will it?
If you think artificial intelligence is interfering with your life enough, wait until it starts picking out your shoes. And your underwear. Google is testing a new app called Google Doppl that lets you virtually “wear” almost anything you find online. Pinterest dream? Instagram envy? Now you can try it all on – with one tap. Only… the result is sometimes more “sci-fi burka” than Parisian street style.
When Klemen Simonič and Ambrož Bizjak asked their professors questions in the hallway of their faculty in Ljubljana fifteen years ago, to which even the professors had no answers, they probably never imagined that they would one day develop a speech-based artificial intelligence that would surpass Google, Microsoft, and even ChatGPT. And even less likely – that this AI would understand the Slovenian language better than your grandmother from Goriška Brda (the birthplace of Slovenia). Welcome to Soniox – a technological story that even Silicon Valley would envy. From the story of how small Slovenia can surpass the world and the giants.
The iPad is a computer! When Apple added window management to the iPad, MacBooks started coughing suspiciously. iPadOS 26 is more than just an upgrade – it's the final recognition that a tablet can go to work and become a computer.
