The creators of the Arc browser are reimagining web browsers again

 

While Arc browser has a dedicated audience, Dia is aiming for more mainstream appeal, with AI smarts as the main attraction

 

The team behind the Arc browser has started work on a new AI-based project called Dia. It’s another web browser, and a just-released video teases a few of its features, such as summary generation for web articles, and idea generation.

It also “understands” everything in the browser window, enabling it to act on any information that you can see, according to a Digital Trends report. Dia will let you complete actions like searching for files and creating emails by typing natural language instructions into the address bar. Essentially, the aim seems to be to make the browser way more intelligent than Arc and much more personalized ...

Tesla finally made an app that turns your Apple Watch into a car key

 

It follows comments by Tesla boss Elon Musk back in March that such a feature could be on the way

 

An official Tesla app for the Apple Watch will arrive next week, Digital Trends reported. The app will show the current battery charge level, open the car’s frunk, and remotely enable the climate control system to make it comfortable inside before you show up. The most notable feature, however, is its ability to function as a key.

The key, which for Tesla vehicle owners currently exists as part of the automaker's smartphone app, allows you to lock, unlock, and start the vehicle. The new feature brings extra convenience to Tesla owners with an Apple Watch as it means they won't always need to have their phone with them when engaging with their car. The Apple Watch functionality is one of several new features arriving as part of the Tesla 2024 Holiday Update ...

There's a gap in the market for over-ear headphones

 

We're talking waterproof capability 

 

The Sound Guys have taken a look at why waterproof headphones still aren’t a thing. “At a time when our smartphones can survive a dunk in the pool and our smartwatches can handle deep-sea diving, there’s a curious gap in the market: waterproof over-ear headphones,” it said. It noted that it's even more puzzling when you consider how waterproof capability is a big part of true wireless earbuds.

The report explains that demand for such a feature certainly exists, but then looks at the engineering challenges that are preventing it from happening, with manufacturers instead looking for ways to improve headphones’ water resistance rather than making them entirely waterproof ...

Infinity Nikki review: stylish open-world adventure is a dream come true

 

'Infinity Nikki is the stylish open-world game that players have been begging for'

 

Digital Trends’ senior gaming editor Giovanni Colantonio has clearly had a fun time reviewing the free-to-play release Infinity Nikki, which is out on Thursday. This is the fifth installment of Papergames’ Nikki franchise, a series of mobile dress-up games starring a pink-haired hero with a great eye for fashion. The story starts when Nikki and her cat pal Momo are once again transported to Miraland, a magical world where stylists are superheroes.

Colantonio loved Infinity Nikki from the off, and claims that it “already has the markings of a phenomenon in its early stages.” The main disappointment was the number of bugs, which Papergames needs to iron out real fast ...
