00:00Welcome to Daily World Podcast, Tech Edition on June 27, 2025.

00:15I'm Angela, here with an in-depth look at the latest breakthroughs in technology and innovation.

00:22Internal emails reveal that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency

00:26is deploying a new mobile app utilizing facial recognition and fingerprint scanning

00:31to identify individuals in the field through smartphone cameras.

00:35Originally designed for border entry and exit,

00:38this technology is now being repurposed for domestic enforcement.

00:42Civil Liberties advocates express concerns about its reliability

00:45and the potential for wrongful arrests, urging for its discontinuation.

00:49In gaming technology, independent tests show that the Nintendo Switch 2's 7.9-inch IPS LCD display

00:58has a significantly slower pixel response time compared to typical gaming monitors and OLED panels.

01:05This performance issue may be attributed to the absence of overdrive technology,

01:09resulting in noticeable blurring during gameplay.

01:12A future firmware update or an OLED version may address these concerns.

01:16Reddit is facing an influx of AI-generated spam posts, as revealed by CEO Steve Huffman.

01:24This surge follows a $60.00.000 deal allowing Google to use Reddit user posts for AI training,

01:30prompting companies to deploy AI bots on the platform.

01:34Reddit is now exploring biometric verification methods to ensure that posts are human-generated.

01:39In a performance comparison, recent testing indicates that games run faster on Steam OS 3.7 than on Windows 11,

01:48with higher frame rates observed in five high-end 3D games.

01:52This marks a growing competitiveness for Valve's Steam OS

01:56against the traditionally dominant Windows platform in gaming.

02:00Apple has introduced a complex system of App Store fees in Europe to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act

02:08and avoid a potential fine of 500 million euros.

02:11The new policies include a 5% commission on digital purchases made outside the App Store

02:17and a 50-cent fee on off-platform downloads, which critics argue may undermine fair competition.

02:23A Belgian engineer has developed an augmented reality app for SNAP's AR spectacles

02:29that detects and blocks real-world advertisements, replacing them with red squares.

02:34This experimental app utilizes Google's Gemini AI to identify ads,

02:39raising questions about the future of visual content control in augmented reality.

02:45Microsoft is set to replace the traditional blue screen of death in Windows 11

02:50with a new black screen of death, featuring a simplified design that provides clearer error information.

02:57This update aims to assist IT administrators in diagnosing issues more efficiently

03:02and will be released alongside a quick machine recovery feature.

03:07The Nintendo Switch 2 is compatible primarily with low-resolution webcams,

03:12favoring older and cheaper models over high-end 4K cameras.

03:16This decision is due to the need to encode multiple video streams simultaneously,

03:21with users advised to opt for inexpensive 10A-type or lower webcams for optimal performance.

03:28The French city of Lyon is transitioning from Microsoft Office to open-source alternatives,

03:33including only Office and Linux,

03:35to reduce dependence on American software and enhance technological sovereignty.

03:39In the electric vehicle market, Xiaomi has launched its new luxury SUV, the U7, priced at 253,500 yuan,

03:57which undercuts Tesla's Model Y by 10,000 yuan.

04:00The U7 features a driving range of at least 760 kilometers,

04:05and has received over 200,000 orders within three minutes of its launch, indicating strong market demand.

04:13Researchers have developed a novel battery cathode material composed of iron, chlorine and lithium,

04:19which combines conductivity, lithium-ion storage, and self-healing properties.

04:23This innovation simplifies design, and uses abundant elements,

04:28potentially improving battery durability and performance.

04:32Japan is set to unveil Woven City,

04:35the world's first fully automated underground metropolis developed by Toyota,

04:39located at the base of Mount Fuji.

04:42This city will serve as a living laboratory for autonomous vehicles and sustainable living,

04:46powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

04:48Google DeepMind's Gemma 3 family of AI models, including the new 3N variants,

04:55shows superior performance across various benchmarks, compared to previous models.

05:00These models support text and image inputs,

05:02and are optimized for deployment in resource-limited environments.

05:07The prices of NVIDIA RTX 3090 graphics cards,

05:11have significantly dropped to around $650 to $750 in the USA,

05:16making them more accessible to consumers.

05:19Future pricing, remains uncertain due to potential tariff changes.

05:24Elon Musk's Grok AI, integrated into the social network X,

05:28has exhibited politically biased behavior,

05:31raising concerns about its reliability for users and enterprises.

05:35This politicization may undermine trust in AI-generated information,

05:39impacting businesses that rely on Grok for factual data.

05:44Anthropic has introduced a new feature in its Clawed AI chatbot,

05:47that allows users to build and share interactive AI-powered apps directly within the app.

05:53This beta feature enables users to describe their desired creation,

05:56and have Clawed write the code, facilitating diverse applications.

06:00Apple has revived the use of Normalizing Flows,

06:05a lesser-known AI technique, for generative image models.

06:09The new studies introduced HAR Flow and STRF Flow,

06:13which aim to optimize image generation for on-device use,

06:16focusing on quality and computational efficiency.

06:19This concludes our tech-focused broadcast of Daily World Podcast.
