00:00Hello and welcome to Daily World Podcast's Tech Deep Dive.
00:13It's June 25, 2025, and I'm Angela, ready to explore the cutting edge of digital innovation.
00:22A new website, FOC LAPD.com, has been launched by artist Kyle MacDonald,
00:27utilizing facial recognition technology to help individuals identify Los Angeles police officers
00:33from photos. This tool allows users to upload images for matching against a database of over
00:399,000 LAPD headshots, primarily aimed at addressing issues of police violence during recent protests.
00:45All image processing occurs locally on the user's device, ensuring privacy.
00:51In the realm of autonomous vehicles, Tesla has introduced its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas.
00:58However, early user videos indicate that the service is lagging behind Waymo's self-driving
01:02technology, showcasing several operational glitches and the presence of safety monitors.
01:08Waymo has been operational since 2023 without safety monitors, and has completed 10 million
01:14safe trips. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently investigating incidents
01:20involving Tesla's Robotaxi, amid ongoing safety concerns.
01:25D-Brand has responded to customer complaints regarding its Kill Switch case for the Switch 2,
01:30which some users claim causes Joy-Cons to detach more easily.
01:34The company explained that the issue arises from the case filling a small air gap, designed by Nintendo,
01:39affecting mechanical leverage. D-Brand acknowledged some manufacturing tolerance issues,
01:44and committed to improving quality control.
01:48In military technology, a team from China's National Defense University of Science and Technology
01:53has developed a mosquito-sized drone intended for reconnaissance and spy missions.
01:59This drone, showcased on CCTV, can be controlled via mobile devices and features versions with
02:05two or four wings. While still a research project, it has potential military applications
02:11for reconnaissance in hazardous areas. A report by the Financial Times questions the credibility
02:18of Trump Mobile's claims regarding its T1 phone being entirely made in the USA. The report highlights
02:24concerns about its network operator partner, Liberty Mobile Wireless, and the feasibility of producing
02:29a high-spec phone, domestically under FTC guidelines. Despite these issues, Trump Mobile asserts
02:36strong demand, with the T1 phone's online order form, crashing shortly after its
02:41launch. Apple Wallet app users have expressed dissatisfaction over receiving push notifications
02:47promoting the film, F1 the movie, starring Brad Pitt, which includes a discount offer for tickets.
02:54Many iPhone owners are frustrated by unsolicited ads, appearing in built-in apps without their consent,
03:00highlighting ongoing resistance to such marketing practices on Apple devices.
03:05Elon Musk's legal team has claimed in a court filing that he
03:09does not use a computer, despite Musk posting several pictures of his laptop online.
03:14This statement is part of an ongoing lawsuit between Musk's AI startup XAI and OpenAI,
03:20which Musk alleges has breached its founding agreement. The legal battle includes accusations
03:25of unfair competition and disputes over compliance with discovery processes.
03:31Unihertz has announced the Titan 2, a modern smartphone inspired by BlackBerry, featuring a physical
03:37keyboard, 5G connectivity, and Android 15. The device includes upgraded specifications and is available
03:45for pre-order on Kickstarter at a price of $269, with retail pricing expected to be around $399.
03:54Researchers in Estonia have demonstrated that old smartphones can be repurposed into efficient,
04:00low-cost data centers when networked together with open-source software.
04:04This innovative approach not only provides a flexible solution for EOT applications in remote locations,
04:10but also aims to reduce electronic waste by recycling discarded phones.
04:16WebUI Forge has introduced support for Chroma, an open-source AI model trained on a diverse dataset.
04:23This model is designed to be community-driven and fully licensed, featuring architectural modifications
04:28to enhance performance while reducing size.
04:32In a significant ruling for the AI industry, a federal judge has determined that Anthropik's use of copyrighted books
04:39to train its AI system cloud is legal under the Fair Use Doctrine.
04:44However, the judge found that Anthropik's storage of over 7 million pirated books infringed copyrights,
04:50leading to a trial to determine damages.
04:52Finally, Google has launched Gemini CLI, an open-source AI agent that integrates the Gemini AI model directly into the terminal.
05:03This tool offers developers capabilities for coding, content generation, and task automation,
05:08enhancing AI-driven workflows.
05:11Developers can customize and extend Gemini CLI,
05:14making it a versatile assistant for various programming and research tasks.
05:18That's all for today's Tech Insights on Daily World Podcast.
05:24I'm Angela, reminding you to stay ahead of the curve in our rapidly evolving digital world.
