We have had all week this week, so to help you catch up with all the latest technological news, we have this unique guide for the seven largest stories of the last seven days.
From Elmo having the Chatgpt agent arriving on the stage hacked, we have your update of the firmware for all this.
And once you know, be sure to read our guide for 7 new movies and television shows to watch this weekend (July 18).
7. The new Marshall Bluetooth speaker has shaken our world
We tested the new Marshall Kilburn III, and our critic Harry Padoan had a lot of positive things to say.
“The Marshall Kilburn III provide a delicious meal, made up of well -seasoned audio, fleshy characteristics and a good presentation”, adding, “with a 50 -hour battery life, you will barely need to load it.”
Although he also highlighted some faults, which is why it was a half-star of a perfect five-star score, namely that it is more expensive and perhaps not as robust as some might hope.
6. We watched the trailer of Stranger Things Season 5…
To watch
The first trailer for Stranger Things Season 5 is finally there.
And if you were worried about spoilers, the co-creator of the Ross Duffer series shared that this first trailer “is shooting each episode except 7, but it is especially volume one and barely scratches the surface.”
Season 5 is divided into three parts, and this trailer mainly takes clips from the first drop to come on November 26, so it should not give too much game.
5. Fitbit fell with synchronization and connection problems
Fitbit users have been left high and dry this week because a huge peak in DowneTector reports has announced a large breakdown for the mobile application and the Fitbit web API, leaving Fitbit users unable to synchronize their devices. When the steps of the Fitbit Help Center were followed, users ended up locating their accounts.
Fortunately, Google quickly solved the problem and contacted us to confirm that a fix was underway. However, this did not work for everyone: there is always what seems to be a relatively low percentage of users who remain high and dry, unable to effectively use their devices. S
Of them contacted us by email, while others went to Reddit to express their dissatisfaction and warn other users. A poor Reddit poster has apparently lost all their data since 2018!
4. Elmo was hacked and taught us a lesson
The Twitter account for the adorable blurred red muppet was hacked this week and has carried out several deeply offensive items on the platform.
Arguments aside that this kind of messages may be more comfortable on the interpretation by Elon Musk of the social media platform than the usual messages of Elmo of Love and Cuddles, the hack reminded us why two-factors authentication is so important.
It is not a completely infallible solution, but it can make it much less likely that your account will be supported.
3. The chatgpt agent has entered the game
Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, has just announced the latest addition to Chatgpt. His name is the Chatgpt agent, and he is designed to perform tasks for you, so complicated. If you can do it online, the chatgpt agent can do so.
The whole concept is a unified agent that can manage leg work, make informed decisions on the websites to be used and navigating the web independently. Think of things like planning a wedding, reserving your car for a service, creating an application to solve a problem or plan and book a vacation. The chatgpt agent can do anything, and you can even watch it work if you wish.
If you are a plus, teams or a professional user, you can click on “Agent” from the tool drop -down menu to use the new tool. The agent uses his own virtual computer to perform his tasks, starting by configuring his office environment, then understanding the invitation that you have given him and gathering the necessary information. He will sometimes ask for more information or a question of clarification.
2. We made bananas for Donkey Kong
Although the interest of his announcement was somewhat lukewarm, it turns out Donkey Kong Bananza is the biggest title Nintendo Switch 2 to date, according to Dashiell Wood, one of our expert game examiners.
This is because the title “exploits the powerful material Nintendo Switch 2 to offer a gigantic and open world with dazzling destruction that allows you to strike, break and crash into practically anything.”
1. Google has set a date for its Pixel phone fall
Mage’s launch event by Google de Mage by highly anticipated Google will occur on August 20 at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. He / 6 p.m. BST / 3H AST, and it seems to be a product full of product.
We are not only expecting the Pixel 10 telephone line (therefore the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL), but a new Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which now has a difficult act to following the Samsung Galaxy Z of 4.2 mm of 4 mm. At least they will execute Android 16.
A new Pixel Watch 4, perhaps redesigned, is also expected, but we do not have much details for no, W, so we will have to wait a little longer to get an idea of what Google has in its sleeve.
