LG’s C6 OLED TV offers a few small but welcome upgrades over last year’s C5, including a faster Alpha 11 AI Gen3 processor designed to improve picture and sound quality, along with a brighter display. It also boasts a higher refresh rate of up to 165Hz for smoother gaming, up from 144Hz, while retaining four HDMI 2.1 ports and support for AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync, the latter of which helps reduce unwanted screen tearing while gaming.Unsurprisingly, the C6 delivers the hallmarks of OLED technology, including inky blacks, vibrant color, and impressive contrast. Support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, meanwhile, helps make movies and shows appear more lifelike and immersive, while built-in access to Netflix, HBO Max, and the like lets you stream your favorite content without a dedicated streaming device. Google Cast and Apple AirPlay 2 also make it easy to share content from your phone, while Matter support lets you pair it with various smart home devices.Solid specs aside, we’d be remiss not to mention that researchers recently raised concerns about how LG’s smart TVs collect and log user data. LG has since responded to some of the accusations, saying its TVs don’t continuously record conversations, and that features like voice recognition and interest-based advertising are optional and disabled by default. While LG hasn’t addressed all concerns, similar data-collection practices aren’t necessarily unique to LG TVs, and they don’t detract from the C6’s impressive feature set.

Pennsylvania will require labels on AI-generated ads
On Thursday, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed the Artificial Intelligence Deceptive Advertising Act into law, requiring disclosures on AI-generated ads.

On Thursday, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed the Artificial Intelligence Deceptive Advertising Act into law, requiring disclosures on AI-generated ads. The law requires any ad - whether it's a still image, video, audio, or text - that "has been significantly modified or generated by artificial intelligence" to include a label in the same format as the ad itself. That applies to TV commercials from multi-billion-dollar companies, as well as restaurants' ugly, crowded flyers about their wing specials.Pennsylvania is one of the first states to require disclosures on AI content. And it requires those labels regardless of where an ad …Read the full story at The Verge.

I use four different browsers on purpose, and it’s the best privacy habit I have
Long before we had the ChatGPT vs. Claude vs. Gemini vs. Perplexity debate, and even before people started arguing about Spotify vs. Apple Music, there was another debate that had tech enthusiasts divided: which web browser is the best?

I ran a 9B model trained on Claude’s reasoning on my 8GB GPU, and it made me rethink paying for Claude

Claude Pro proves its worth most of the time. Anthropic's models are accessible pretty much anywhere through API, but the Claude workspace has become almost necessary in my workflow, especially Projects and Artifacts - and more recently, Claude Docs too. But when I scroll back through weeks of chats, I realize the sessions themselves are pretty basic, they mostly revolve around helping me understand things. So ultimately, I'm paying for the desktop app features, but these can be replaced by local tools like AnythingLLM or even PewDiePie's Odysseus.

I tried turning my old Samsung Galaxy into a local LLM-hosting machine, and it worked better than I expected

Uncloud uses the Compose files I already made and lets me spread the work across my home servers
Adding another home server should mean more room for your applications.

The TV is one of the most important devices in any home, as it's the central piece of an entertainment hub. Having a high-quality panel and sound system is crucial to a satisfying home theater experience, but using your TV's default settings can easily ruin your experience. It still boggles my mind how the average consumer is expected to know which settings to disable on a new TV before they can enjoy it to the fullest.

Your motherboard still has “useless” headers from the 1990s, and licensing agreements are to blame
If you take a long, hard look at your motherboard, you'll notice that it comes with some legacy ports on them, such as Serial (COM), Parallel (LPT), and PS/2 headers. It can be really tempting to assume they're there because the motherboard companies are lazy, but in fact, there's a...
If you take a long, hard look at your motherboard, you'll notice that it comes with some legacy ports on them, such as Serial (COM), Parallel (LPT), and PS/2 headers. It can be really tempting to assume they're there because the motherboard companies are lazy, but in fact, there's a good reason they're there. And the answer lies about three decades ago.

BBC's Blue Planet III is looking to prove its authenticity by leaving in the less-than-perfect shots. Previous incarnations of the nature series were defined by their gorgeous, crystal-clear footage that seemed almost too good to be real. But one dead giveaway of AI is when things look too polished and seamless. To counter that, Blue Planet III goes warts and all.Executive Producer Elizabeth White told The Guardian in the past, "the amount of plankton and things" floating in the water would have caused them to cut a shot. Or "we might have framed out a boat or a buoy or gone: 'Oh, actually … the water conditions are not really good enough …Read the full story at The Verge.

You can strip the ads and recommendations from Google TV in one toggle, and it’s buried in your settings
Google TV has plenty of benefits, but the home screen's clutter is a common complaint. Series recommendations often don't feel relevant and take up most of the screen. Worse, some users get ads when they're just trying to browse their apps in peace.
