Madison H. You know, I thought it was a little ridiculous to get pet insurance, but I really didn't want to not take my little kitten to the vet because of money. In the last eight months, I've taken him in six times because of ear infections and saved literally hundreds of dollars. He may even need to get surgery and I couldn't consider it without Lemonade's help. I recommend Lemonade to all my friends constantly and now I'm recommending it to you.

These are the Daily Tech headlines for Wednesday, November 27, 2024. I'm Sara Lane. OpenAI has paused access to its AI video generation tool Sora, following protests from artists over intellectual property concerns. The artist group claims that SORT generates content that is too closely imitated to their unique styles, which turns into fears of misuse and copyright violations. OpenAI says it plans to uphold safeguards and improve transparency while responding to these concerns. The suspension is one of many ongoing tensions between people who work on AI advancements and creative rights. Tuesday evening, 404 Media published an article titled Someone made a Data set of 1 million blue sky posts for Machine Learning Research Hugging faces Daniel Van Strien had released a data set composed of 1 million blue sky posts, complete with when they were posted and who posted them meant for machine learning research. He initially said Quote this dataset contains 1 million public posts collected from BlueSky Social's Firehose API, intended for machine learning, research and experimentation with social media data. Each post contains text, content, metadata and information about media attachments and reply relationships. Vanstrian has since removed the data set, also posting on bluesky Quote While I wanted to support tool development for the platform, I realized this approach violated principles of transparency and consent in data collection. I apologize for this mistake. Raspberry PI launched the Compute Module 5, or CM5, designed for embedded applications. It has the quad core ARM Cortex A76 processor, boosting performance to 2.4 GHz with up to 8 gigs of RAM with several storage options as well. For $45, the CM5 is compatible with a range of PI Power accessories to tailor setups for specific needs. Brazil's antitrust regulator has ruled that Apple has to lift its restrictions on in app purchases in the country within 20 days, otherwise pay a daily fine that is equivalent to US$43,000. Apple has to let app developers in Brazil link out to their own websites for payment or let developers handle the in app payments themselves. Europe, Japan, South Korea and the US have all made similar rulings. Google's Gemini AI now integrates a new extension for Spotify on Android, letting users control music playback from within the AI interface by typing Potify followed by a song name. Gemini can start playback, drawing from a user's playlist and preferences to make personalized recommendations. The feature is still rolling out, but once fully functional it should work without needing to open the Spotify app at all. TikTok announced that in the coming weeks, users under 18 will be blocked from using so called beauty filters such as artificially making your eyes bigger or plumping your lips up, or smoothing or changing your skin tone. More comic filters that add things like bunny ears or dog noses aren't going to be affected. TikTok also announced it's trying harder to block users under 13 from the platform altogether. Tougher regulation of underage social media use in the UK is expected in the new year under the online safety act. TikTok says it already removes around 20 million accounts every quarter worldwide for being underage. A company in Cornwall in the UK has developed a gamma ray detector that can assess soil quality. A farmer near Bodmin is working with scientists from the University of Plymouth to test the detector. It's mounted on a robot dog from a company called Robotrix. The robot moves at about 5 meters per second and can climb difficult terrain to cover the fields. Instead of manually digging up soil from a few areas of the field and then sending it to a lab. The dog, which is a robot, can monitor most of the ground for levels of radiation, which indicates the health of the soil. This saves time and also expense. Xiaomi, which hasn't faced as many restrictions as Huawei but is still in that camp, says it will start using its own self designed mobile processors in 2025 in order to reduce reliance on Qualcomm and Mediatek. Xiaomi plans to increase its R and D investment in chip making from 24 billion won this year to 30 billion won in 2025. And finally, in response to complaints about its Digital Markets act compliance, Google will change how results appear for products, restaurants, flights or hotel searches, now using expanded and equally formatted units that let users go to comparison sites or directly to supplier or retailer websites. So in Belgium, Estonia and Germany, a short test will be conducted where hotel results will no longer show up with contextual information like maps, but instead return things like 10 blue links without additional features. The test is meant to show hotel owners, for example, what the effects of this change would be should they make it permanent.
