The Morning After: Google’s big Pixel event kicks off today

Posted on by

Finally, it’s here. Google’s big hardware press event kicks off later today, and it looks to be an almost entirely Pixel-based affair, with more phones than ever.

First, the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro will be straight-up successors to the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. Rumors suggest Google will also introduce a Pixel 9 Pro XL, with a larger screen. We’re expecting all three phones to have a redesigned substantial camera module — the Pixel 9 is believed to have 50MP wide and 48MP ultrawide lenses — and Google may introduce a new chipset too, probably called the Tensor G4. Oh, and expect a new foldable to break cover too, with a ‘Pro’ moniker, but will it be even pricier this year?

Expect to hear more about Gemini, Google’s AI-powered assistant, and Android 15. The company has already said Gemini will be more deeply integrated into its next iteration of Android (goodbye, Google Assistant?) and will have better contextual awareness. We’re intrigued to see what shape all of that will take.

We predict Google will unveil a next-gen smartwatch and wireless buds, too. But to make sure, you can watch and read along with our liveblog or follow the Made By Google YouTube channel—or both!

We should also have hands-on impressions of everything Google lets us get our grubby paws on. The event kicks off today at 1PM ET.

On the eve of seeing its replacement (probably), how has Google’s first foldable fared? Our die-hard foldables expert, Sam Rutherford, made the Pixel Fold his main phone for the last year, and for added jeopardy, he doesn’t use a case. It’s not been an issue: It has myriad scuffs and scratches, some dents from being dropped and a few scrapes on its matte Gorilla Glass Victus back, but all of this is purely cosmetic. While he ended up fixing a cracked external screen due to multiple drops on a tile flooring, the bigger (foldable!) display has remained undamaged. The Pixel Fold is a lot tougher than we thought it would be.

Valve’s next game, not yet officially announced, had 16,000-plus concurrent players over the weekend. We know it’s called Deadlock and that Valve was working on it for a while, so this is a soft launch of some kind. Reportedly in development since 2018, the game is a competitive MOBA shooter, billed as “the next Dota” by veteran Valve reporter Tyler McVicker.

The big question: Where’s my invite to play?

Taskmaster VR doesn’t quite deliver on the promise of the TV show

Posted on by

I’m a huge Taskmaster fan. The UK TV show pits five comedians (or funny-adjacent celebrities) against ridiculous tasks that are then arbitrarily scored by the titular taskmaster.

Given that the tasks involve lateral thinking and physical movement, on paper, the TV show was ripe for a VR spin-off. Think Job Simulator with added jeopardy, in-jokes and British whimsy. Unfortunately, Taskmaster VR doesn’t deliver on the fun and charm of the show. Two points.

After being teased (and available to wishlist) earlier this year, the game launched last week across Steam, Meta Quest 2 and 3, and Pro. I played the game briefly on Quest 2, the lowest-powered option, before shifting to the sharper screens of Quest 3.

You’ll want to play it on a headset like the Quest 3 or better. The basic Quest 2 makes the whole thing very grainy. But that’s not the biggest issue. The problem is it’s not a great VR game. Collision detection is rough, and while it’s not the first VR title guilty of this, the fine motor control demanded of the game’s tasks makes things a pain.

For example, the first game involves you trying to make a sandwich, matching Alex’s arcane sandwich request, plating it up, and putting it on the plinth, ready for judgment. However, you have to do all of that with a pair of spatulas. Opening a fridge with a spatula in real life is challenging enough; in a virtual world, it sometimes felt more like luck than dexterity whether I got that slice of bacon into my sandwich.

In another game, I was to launch an egg as far as I could but land it in a frying pan. I struggled to keep a frying pan in the same place while constructing a poorly-considered ramp of pipes, boxes and wheelie bins. The in-game physics are so simplistic that most object surfaces behave the same. And my pan slid to the floor. Again and again and again. You can crouch in Taskmaster VR – when you drop the pan again – but the physics engine conveys a degree of momentum when you press the button to stand upright again, adding a ‘bounce’ to anything in your hand.

Many of the games are multi-stage and expansive, which I appreciated. Circling back to the sandwich task, some ingredients need to be cooked – and you’ll have to turn on the stove burners to do so. Once you’ve made your sandwich, Greg, the Taskmaster will scrutinize the result. One slice of bread? He’ll go on a tirade about open-face sandwiches. Wrong plate? Your score will be dinged again. Something inedible? He’ll notice.

There are also easter egg references to the show everywhere, from the tutorial onwards. Look out of windows; even the bushes and garden are filled with items and references only a Taskmaster fan would get. Do Americans think all Brits (I’m a Brit) are this whimsical? I hope so.

In another game, you’ll have to rush around the entire Taskmaster estate (a tiny home and garden) searching for dog food, but only after you’ve escaped the garage. The tasks are considered, but I wish there were more. The TV show is famous for comedians’ unusual lateral thinking and solutions that the task makers didn’t plan for. I haven’t seen those possibilities – at least not yet.

Why not mix up the codes for the safe featured in a watermelon smashing task? This would be especially useful if you’re playing with other Taskmaster fans who want to try the tasks themselves. A little bit of random number generation would work wonders. Having said that, there’s a Taskmaster VR Creative mode, where you’ll be able to craft your own levels and tasks, which could add longevity if it finds an audience.

The banter between Taskmaster and his assistant is tonally accurate, benefitting from using the voices of Greg Davies and (Little) Alex Horne, but their in-game models don’t convey the weird, awkward charm of the duo. Maybe I’m just a superfan, and my expectations were too high, but there’s something about the sound quality (with lines recorded in a booth) that pulls you out of the illusion of being on a version of the TV show.

I’m unsure if I’ll ever replay the entire game again. Fortunately, once unlocked, you can choose to play each task standalone, which is the perfect way for me to share the game with visiting friends.

If the team behind Taskmaster VR can offer some new tasks through DLC (how about replicating a task from the next TV series?), this might be more of a draw. Their time starts now.

The Morning After: The Borderlands movie proves bad video game adaptations can still happen

Scientists from the University of Oxford have created an ultra-thin layer of material that can be applied to the exterior of objects with sunlight access in place of bulky silicon-based solar panels. It’s made by stacking layers of light-absorbing perovskite just over a micron thick. The new material is also 150 times thinner than a traditional silicon wafer and can produce energy with 5 percent more efficiency. This technology, however, is still in the research stage, and the university doesn’t mention the long-term stability of the newly designed perovskite panels, which has always been limited compared to traditional photovoltaic technology.

The Morning After: Instagram endorses the photo dump

Just in time for summer vacation jealousy baiting, Instagram has doubled the number of photos and videos users can share in a carousel post, from 10 to 20. In a way, this harkens back to the late 2000s era of photo dumps on Facebook, probably involving an SD card from your digital camera. The update is rolling out to all Instagram users worldwide from today.

The Morning After: Humane AI Pins are being returned faster than the company can sell them

Humane’s universally derided AI Pin (“the solution to none of technology’s problems”) is not exactly flying off store shelves, according to internal sales documents published by The Verge. Worse, returns are apparently outpacing purchases. The company had once hoped to sell 100,000 in the first year — but there are only around 7,000 units out in the wild. In our review, we had issues with reliability, how slow it was to process requests, its price and its poor battery life. Its shelf life may be even worse.

The company will apparently also start rolling out what it’s calling “continuous playlists.” These are effectively cable-style channels that will stream around the clock, which will juice its viewing numbers and possibly keep you glued for longer to whatever reheated Star Wars / Marvel creation is currently doing the rounds.

The Morning After: US judge rules that Google ‘is a monopolist’ in search

Posted on by

A federal judge ruled that Google has illegally abused its monopoly over the search industry. The ruling follows a 10-week trial held in 2023, which followed a 2020 lawsuit.

Judge Amit Mehta of the US District Court for the District of Columbia wrote in the ruling that the company had acted “to maintain its monopoly.”

The lawsuit claimed that Google illegally acted to maintain its dominant position in search through behavior like paying Apple, Samsung and Mozilla billions of dollars a year to be the default search engine on smartphones, browsers and elsewhere. The DOJ argued Google is responsible for almost 90 percent of web searches.

Mehta has not imposed any remedies on Google yet, but he could demand it change how it operates or even sell parts of the business. Google plans to appeal.

The Morning After: Meta is reportedly offering millions to get Hollywood voices into its AI projects

Posted on by

According to Bloomberg and The New York Times, Meta is in talks with the likes of Keegan-Michael Key, Awkwafina and Dame Judi Dench, among others, for its AI projects. The company apparently intends to incorporate their voices into a conversational generative AI-slash-digital assistant called MetaAI, which is rumored to be like Siri and Google Assistant, which could live within Facebook, Meta hardware, and all the other parts of the multimillion-dollar social network company.

The actors’ representatives are still negotiating for stricter limits, though SAG-AFTRA has reportedly agreed on terms with Meta. SAG-AFTRA, if you recall, fought for provisions to protect actors from the threat of job loss due to AI.

Didn’t Meta already do something like this? Yes. During its Connect event last year, the company also introduced a chatbot platform with 28 “characters” voiced by celebrities, including Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, Dwyane Wade and Kendall Jenner. However, those celebrity chatbots’ pages have since disappeared, and The Information reports that Meta has just quietly scrapped that project.

This appears to be more central to Meta’s AI ambitions.

Payments relating to a class action lawsuit filed in 2018 over Apple’s butterfly MacBook keyboards have reportedly begun. The settlement website now states that payments for approved claims will go out in August, and claimants will receive checks. For some, it could mean a check of up to $395.

After Apple introduced the butterfly keyboard in 2015, complaints arose over “sticky” and unresponsive keys. A lawsuit filed in 2018 accused Apple of knowing its keyboards had problems and concealing this from consumers. While Apple denied the lawsuit’s allegations of defective keyboards, it agreed to pay $50 million as part of a settlement. It also started phasing out the keyboard design in 2019.
