Wimbledon technology chiefs say line judges are safe -- at least for now -- even as the grass-court tournament embraces artificial intelligence.The All England Club and global tech giant IBM on Wednesday announced new AI features for the championships, which start early next month.

As expected, the company is giving the smartwatch user interface an overhaul as part of perhaps the firmware's biggest update yet. You may recall that the original Apple Watch UI was designed, in part, around Glances — a carousel of widgets for different apps and features. Apple eventually moved away from Glances to place more emphasis on apps, but now the company is…

via Universal There will be spoilers for Fast X ahead. At this point, we can all accept the fact that Fast & Furious is basically a superhero franchise in anything but name, with the increasingly preposterous adventures of the core crew easily on a par with anything the Avengers get up to over in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Dominic Toretto and the family could probably hand Earth’s Mightiest Heroes their asses on a silver platter if the occasion…

The crypto sector is always undergoing changes that contribute to its expansion and development. Solana Labs has recently announced their collaboration with ChatGPT, in a bid to increase accessibility and convenience for its users. Meanwhile, meme coin Floki Inu was backed by its loyal community which led it to a price surge and sold-out wallets. Upcoming in the market is the brand new SignUpToken.com, which is inching closer to its launch by the minute, but not before they end its presale, which comes with a twist. Read…
