These are the daily tech headlines for Wednesday, October 22, 2025. I'm Sarah Lane. Samsung announced its mixed reality headset, the Samsung Galaxy xr. It runs Google's Android XR operating system. The half pound headset has two 4K micro LED screens with a 90Hz refresh rate and runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2 plus Gen 2 chip. You can control it with gestures, voice or any Bluetooth device, including a mouse and keyboard. It can run most Android apps and convert images and videos into 3D immersive views. It can also connect to a PC to play games through Steam Link, as well as act as a VR headset. Samsung claims 2 hours of battery life using the tethered battery pack or 2.5 hours of video playback. Pre orders are Open now for $1,800 shipping. October 31st. Spooky OpenAI launched its ChatGPT Atlas web browser Tuesday. It's Chromium based and opens on a prompt for ChatGPT. Search is in the address bar and gives standard Chatbot responses with tabs for traditional search results, image, video and news. A cursor chip can let you get things like writing assistance within the browser, and a sidebar lets you ask questions about anything on a web page. You need an OpenAI account, but otherwise it's free to use. There's also an agent for paying users to carry out web tasks for for you, like ordering groceries. More than 850 prominent public figures signed a statement on super intelligence, calling on governments to prohibit research and development of super intelligence until there is quote, broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably and strong public buy in. Among the signers are computer scientists Jeffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, Virgin's Richard Branson, Apple co founder Steve Wozniak, media personalities Glenn Beck and Steve Bannon and Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Nikkei's supply chain sources say that Apple has cut orders for the iPhone air parts to levels normally seen at the end of production. Orders are reportedly at 10% of what they were in September. This comes after Samsung stopped production of its thin phone, the Galaxy Edge. YouTube has rolled out likeness detection to members of its partner program. It can identify when an individual's face has been modified by AI without consent. Participants need to verify identity with a government ID and video and submit source material for the system to use as a baseline. YouTube also added a feature that lets users set a daily limit on how long they can scroll through shorts. When a user reaches that limit, scrolling is paused and a notification alerts them that they have reached the limits. The notification can be dismissed. Baidu's Apollo Go unit will test a fully autonomous taxi service in Switzerland starting in December. The goal is to launch the service to the public in partnership with public transit company Post Bus in Q1 of 2027. Once the service, called Amigo, is fully launched, the steering wheels will be removed from vehicles. Netflix revenue grew 17% last quarter over the previous year. Though the company missed on profit projection, it attributed the miss to the loss of a tax case in Brazil. Netflix says it was its best ad sales quarter yet. During the earnings call, co CEO Ted Sarando said that the company has no interest in buying a legacy studio like Warner Brothers Discovery. And finally today, ara, not to be confused with Aura, introduced a wireless color E Ink digital picture frame. The 13.3-inch ink frame has a light to add contrast and a battery that lasts three months. It can be updated over Wi Fi through Google Photos or Apple Photos. Not cheap though.
