Researcher Sammy Azdoufal reached 13 million conversations and what appeared to be all 68,000 active Eiliko robots, The Verge reported. The same flaws let him change what a reporter's robot said, and Malwarebytes advises owners to take the device off Wi-Fi.

Valve has put Achievement Sets in the Steam client beta, splitting base-game and DLC achievements into separate sets. Each game needs a developer update first; Valve's list of supporting games, as The Verge printed it, has 17 titles.

Google says inline links will appear higher up in AI Overviews and AI Mode responses more frequently, with a separate test of a top slot for official sources. Site owners who depend on search referrals will need their own click data to see whether prominence turns into visits.

T-Mobile is the first US carrier to support Apple's iPhone Handoff, at $5 a month, The Verge reports. Verizon plans to follow by year-end, but T-Mobile bars business accounts at launch, so for now the users are T-Mobile customers outside business accounts.

Energize Lab left the cloud service behind its Eiliko robot toy unprotected, exposing 13 million conversations, The Verge reported. For buyers and builders of companion toys, the first test is whether one account can read another's records.

Apple will sell its fourth-generation Apple TV 4K for $299 from Nov. 13, $149.01 more than Google's $149.99 TV Streamer. TechRepublic's comparison puts the burden on the A19 chip, Siri AI microphones and HomePod surround support to justify that premium.

The Verge spent a week with Asus and HP Googlebooks and found the phone link unreliable for app casting and file sharing. Limits in native Android apps add to the problem on a $1,000 laptop, according to the reviewer's first-week account.

Amazon's Alexa Tablet 12 Pro ships Oct. 14 at $499.99, about $249 below the $749 starting price of Apple's iPad Air M4. With keyboard and stylus the gap grows to about $407, and for a work fleet the choice then turns on apps, cellular needs and assistant controls.
Reality
Four Verge staff testing all five launch Googlebooks rate the hardware great to excellent and call Googlebook OS the weak point. Their notes describe Android apps acting like tablet software on a laptop, so a team that buys now is signing up for beta software.

Google's Fitbit Edge will sell for €179 in Europe and £159 in the UK, according to a Dealabs leak, or about $180 in the US by 9to5Google's estimate. The roughly $80 premium over the screen-free Fitbit Air buys a display with Google Play access.

Unknown attackers hijacked @Microsoft, the company's X account with more than 13 million followers, on Thursday to promote a $Clippy crypto token. Microsoft has not said how they got in, and the takeover fits a run of crypto-scam hijacks of verified accounts on X.

Madison, a New York server, told The Verge that guests with shellfish allergies dispute her warnings because ChatGPT says the dish is safe. Staff have improvised polite lines for invented wines, but allergens need a written house rule that holds when the guest disagrees.

RuntimeWire says a captured WIRED homepage session sent Pinterest 90 audience-segment events plus fields labelled email_sha256 and fingerprint. That traffic sits in request bodies, where a tally of outside domains cannot see it.

Images in Apple's own code, found by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris, show an A20 Pro iPad mini 8, a HomePod mini 2 and a fourth-generation Apple TV 4K. Apple has set no date, so tablet buyers and app teams can plan on the hardware details sooner than on the October window the reports expect.

Chrome 152 keeps google.com's cookies and storage after 'delete on close' is switched on, developer Jeff Johnson found. Google fixed a similar exemption in 2020, and the same behaviour in open-source Chromium means other browsers and test rigs need their own check.

Apple charges $9.99 to $59.99 a month for AI alerts on one to five HomeKit cameras, up to triple rivals' prices, a Verge review says. All three platforms tested beat 'motion detected,' so the buyer's choice is which cameras deserve the fee.

Verge reviewer Victoria Song gave Meta's Muse agent health details she had withheld after its mascot reshaped itself from her email, though its 5K plan was mid. For teams deploying agents, the extra data came from the design, with no sign yet that the advice improved.

Apple's new Watches transcribe a rolling 15 seconds of nearby speech and summarise the day, with an audible chime as the notice to everyone else in the room. Teams copying the pattern inherit two-party consent law.

Meta's new VR Glasses leave the display and sensors on the face and move the processor, the memory and the battery onto a wired puck in the pocket. The Verge tried them at Meta's campus this week.

The Ray-Ban Meta Audio Glasses start at $349 with no camera, 43 grams and about 12 hours of battery, while the camera-equipped Gen 3 rises to $449. The Verge reports the launch included no new privacy controls.
