After announcing the new Imagen 3 image generation model at Google I/O in May, Google has now made the text-to-image model available to all Gemini users. On Wednesday, Google said Imagen 3 “is now available to all Gemini users around the world.” As Google explained back when the model was announced, Imagen 3 comes with a number of significant improvements, including greater versatility and prompt understanding, higher quality image, and better text rendering than Imagen 2. You don’t need to pay for Gemini Advanced in order to generate images with Imagen 3. Go to the Gemini website in your browser or the...

I upgraded my Apple Watch SE 2 to an Apple Watch Series 10 as soon as it was released. I wanted better battery life for my marathon races, as the battery health on my Apple Watch SE 2 had dropped below 80%. After two years of use, I was now charging the SE 2 twice a day. But if improved battery health is all I wanted from the Apple Watch, I could have simply had my battery replaced or just bought a brand new Apple Watch SE 2. The thing is, I wanted the Apple Watch Series 10’s improved health-tracking capabilities,...

Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall in Florida this week, and when it does, reports indicate that it could forever change the state’s coastline. If you haven’t kept up-to-date with the latest information surrounding this hurricane, then you’ll find this new hurricane time-lapse even more impressive, as someone aboard the ISS captured footage of the hurricane making its way toward the Sunshine State. Milton has been making quite a few news headlines recently. Not only has the hurricane’s impending landfall forced NASA to delay the Europa Clipper launch, but the hurricane also accelerated from Category 1 to Category 5—the strongest...

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission.There are still so many people out there who think of iRobot’s Roomba models as the best robot vacuums in the business. Some Roomba robots are still great, mind you, but other brands now offer much more advanced features at far lower prices. And during Amazon’s October Prime Day sale, that’s doubly true thanks to newer market leaders like Ecovacs and Yeedi. We already told you about all the impressive Ecovacs robot vacuum deals for Fall Prime Day 2024. Now, it’s...

Apple is a few weeks away from unveiling several M4 Macs and the new iPad mini 7. That’s what all the leaks say, and I don’t have any reason to question them at this point. The M4 MacBook Pro appeared in a couple of hands-on videos in the past few days, so there shouldn’t be much of a question that it’s about to be announced. The good news for buyers is that Apple is indeed preparing a few exciting upgrades for the base M4 14-inch MacBook Pro, which will make it an even better purchase than its predecessor. The bad news...

If you buy an iPhone 16 Pro or 16 Pro Max, you are restricted to four colors that all have the word “titanium” in them: Desert Titanium, Natural Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium. They’re not bad options, but they’re not great either. I like the colors for the base iPhone 16 models better. Then again, Apple had to figure out a way to make the titanium framework with the rear glass. Apple went for these paint options as they are supposed to be closer to the color of titanium. You can change the iPhone 16 Pro color by using cases and...

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Spider-Man 4 might be a massive multiverse movie where Sony and Marvel will try to recreate the magic of No Way Home to sell as many tickets as possible. Nobody would blame them either if they pulled it off. No Way Home made nearly $2 billion at the box office, a figure that’s usually reserved for big Avengers crossovers. The newest rumors on the matter, coming from two regular Marvel leakers, tease a few crazy cameos that make Spider-Man 4 sound like an Avengers film. You know, kind of like Captain America: Civil...

The surface of Mars is a frigid and hostile place, but it wasn’t always like that. In fact, NASA has found several pieces of evidence that suggest our neighboring Red Planet might have once been primed to support life, with liquid water spreading across its surface. That’s because ancient regions on Mars show clear signs of abundant water—one of the most important features needed to support life on a planet. But why is Mars so dead? Well, we might finally know why. According to data captured by NASA’s Curiosity rover, the isotopic composition of carbon-rich minerals found in a crater on...

Netflix puts out a staggering amount of content on a weekly basis, encompassing everything from prestige drama to reality series, comedy specials, international shows, documentaries, and so much more. In other words, it leaves no stone unturned when it comes to appealing to any and every kind of sensibility out there — with one giant exception. Try as it might, only once in a blue moon do we get a truly great TV show from Netflix, the kind of uncompromisingly sublime masterpiece that would cause a fan to remark: “This, ladies and gentleman, is the most beautiful and mindblowing show...

iOS 18.1 will soon Apple Intelligence features to the latest iPhones. While iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 users can’t wait to try these new features, millions of users with older iPhones won’t get these AI features. Still, iOS 18.1 has more in store than just AI. Here are six more exciting iOS 18.1 features coming to your iPhone: Record calls: iOS 18.1 will allow you to record calls.

Earlier this month, NASA engineers completed the transfer of the Europa Clipper spacecraft to its hangar as the space agency prepared for this Thursday’s upcoming launch. However, due to Hurricane Milton’s impending landfall, NASA has officially issued a delay for the launch of the Europa Clipper mission. The space agency shared plans to delay the launch of the mission in an official press release, noting that necessary steps have already been taken to secure the spacecraft within one of SpaceX’s hangars at Kennedy Space Center, along with the Falcon Heavy rocket that is expected to take it out of Earth atmosphere. Unfortunately,...

While some gamers are ready and willing to spend $699 on the souped-up PS5 Pro, Sony also has big news for those on a tighter budget. Starting now, you can purchase certified refurbished PS5 consoles directly from Sony for a major discount. Shortly after announcing the PS5 Pro last month, Sony started advertising certified refurbished PS5 consoles on its PlayStation Direct site. The listings went live on Tuesday, giving customers the chance to buy a refurbished PS5 (with a disc drive) for $399.99 or a refurbished PS5 Digital Edition for $349.99. Both are $100 cheaper than new consoles at retail. If you decide...

Skyquakes might sound a lot like thunder or sonic booms, but they usually tend to come when there’s no sign of storm clouds in the area—or even signs of aircraft passing through the area. While scientists have tried to come up with multiple explanations for this phenomenon, they remain baffled by the loud booms that often seem to come out of nowhere. In fact, these loud, booming sounds have been reported all over the world, according to BBC. Depending on the region you’re located in, you might know them by a different name. In fact, some folks refer to them as...

iPhone and Mac users running iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia can take advantage of one of the best features ever introduced by Apple: iPhone Mirroring. While the company is working to bring drag-and-drop functionality later this month, this feature is already very handy for iPhone owners who spend time working on a Mac. However, if you use a Mac computer at work, you should stop using iPhone Mirroring on it right now, as a security risk could expose your data to your employer. At least, that’s what security group Sevco (via 9to5Mac) is warning. When iPhone Mirroring is in use, and you...

Unless you pay $13.99 per month for YouTube Premium, you’ll have to deal with ads when you watch videos on YouTube. Thankfully, skipping the ads has always been easy, but over the past few days, YouTube has made a subtle change to the user interface on desktop and mobile that makes it more difficult to find the skip button while an ad is playing. Last week, I began noticing that the countdown I was used to seeing in the bottom-right corner of YouTube videos was gone. Previously, it would count down before turning into a clickable skip button. Instead, a yellow...

I’ve written about AI podcasts before, but until now, I didn’t really appreciate the degree to which there’s a rather inverse relationship between the time and effort required to create them (almost none at all) and the quality they’re able to achieve (these things are getting really, really good). Case in point: I spent all of 30 seconds using Google’s buzzy new NotebookLM tool to create an extremely realistic-sounding podcast episode derived from several recent articles I’ve written. The two AI-generated hosts you’ll hear in the episode riff, quite convincingly, on each topic in my articles with the realistic banter you’d...

Cheetos might look like an appetizing snack to most folks, but scientists have revealed something quite startling about the yellow dye used in this cheesy snack. According to a paper published last month, the yellow dye used in Cheetos is actually capable of turning the skin of mice transparent—at least temporarily. This gave scientists a way to see through their skin and observe their organs while the mice were still living. If this sounds concerning in any way, that’s because it absolutely is. Not only is eating a lot of the different dyes found in food somewhat cautioned against depending on...

While Netflix might catch flack for canceling beloved shows or producing far too many vacuous, expensive action movies, you will never hear anyone complain about the streamer’s lack of true crime content. Every month, Netflix rolls out another half a dozen or so original true crime series and movies, and October is no different. But the upcoming true crime documentary we are most curious about is Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare. Inspired by the 2021 podcast of the same name, Sweet Bobby recounts the story of the doomed relationship of Kirat Assi, a woman living in London who formed a deep...
