Your Samsung Galaxy A52 will become unsafe to use relatively soon

Last updated: March 22nd, 2024 at 12:33 UTC+01:00 If you're still rocking the Galaxy A52 in 2024, you've extracted almost every ounce of value out of Samsung's mid-range phone, and you deserve some recognition for pushing the company's firmware support claims this close to the limit. But a limit you will hit sooner than later. Even if you're still happy with how the Galaxy A52 performs after all this time, you will eventually have to leave it behind for safety reasons, if not anything else. When? Well, you don't have…

‘This is a film to make us unsafe in the cinema. As we should be’: Sandra Hüller and Christian Friedel on The Zone of Interest | Film

Can you put a face to the banality of evil? How about two? On a bright London morning, Sandra Hüller and Christian Friedel are back from having their picture taken. The German actors are here to discuss The Zone of Interest, the film they have made with the director Jonathan Glazer (Under the Skin), loosely inspired by Martin Amis’s 2014 novel of the same name.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are unsafe: General Motors

General Motors (GM) made waves earlier by announcing the gradual phase-out of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity on its new EVs and future products. This move left many puzzled, given the popularity of these phone-mirroring programs among car buyers. GM has shed light on its decision, primarily attributing it to safety concerns related to driver distraction caused by cell phone usage while driving. GM’s head of product for infotainment, Tim Babbitt, emphasized that CarPlay and Android Auto often encounter…

GM claims CarPlay and Android Auto cause “unsafe” driver behavior

GM can’t really catch a break on its decision to end support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in-vehicle projection modes. And while that choice does have a defensible business purpose (more on that in a moment), recent comments from Tim Babbitt, GM’s Head of Product for Infotainment, to Motor Trend seem like an unforced error — making an already unpopular move feel even less justifed. Specifically, Babbitt claimed that frequent freezes, disconnections, and bugs with CarPlay and Android Auto…

Nearly 100 Swissport cargo workers at the Denver International Airport are on strike Monday, protesting unsafe work conditions they say the company has been ignoring for more than a year. The strike that began last night is set to last through the day Monday, with a rally of the striking workers starting outside DIA’s Main Terminal at 10:30 a.m. “It’s a big ask to get people to risk their job in this way, even though it’s legally protected,” said Andrew Guttman, who works as a cargo agent for Swissport. People are nervous…

‘Unsafe’ AI images proliferate online. Study suggests 3 ways to curb the scourge

Over the past year, AI image generators have taken the world by storm. Heck, even our distinguished writers at TNW use them from time to time.  Truth is, tools like Stable Diffusion, Latent Diffusion, or DALL·E can be incredibly useful for producing unique images from simple prompts — like this picture of Elon Musk riding a unicorn. But it’s not all fun and games. Users of these AI models can just as easily generate hateful, dehumanising, and pornographic images at the click of a button — with…
