Did Google just give us our first glimpse of a new Nest speaker?

Google TL;DR Google is currently in the middle of launching the Pixel 10 series at its Made by Google event. During one video spot, the company quietly featured an unfamiliar-looking smart speaker. It's possible this could represent an upcoming new Nest model. Google's big Pixel 10 launch event is finally underway, and it is… something! The star-studded showcase is feeling more like a talk show than the sort of announcements we normally expect from Google, and the surprises are continuing with some unexpected hardware. Don't want to miss the best from Android Authority?

In one video spot put together for the event, racer Lando Norris and basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo try walking a mile in each other's shoes, and the athletes prepare for this role-swap by asking Gemini for a little advice. Google That includes using Gemini on Pixel 10 phones, of course, but Lando also taps into Google's AI assistant with a device that we're not yet familiar with. Presumably this could be some sort of new Nest speaker — its certainly been long enough since we had a fresh addition to the lineup, and with plans to bring Gemini for Home to smart speakers this fall, maybe some new hardware also makes perfect sense.

Tortoise hatchlings born of century-old parents come out of their shells at Philadelphia Zoo

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sixteen critically endangered western Santa Cruz tortoises born to some very old parents got a slow walk and the red carpet treatment Wednesday at a Philadelphia Zoo event to show off the highly prized hatchlings. Animal care specialists who have watched over the 16 since they were eggs held the animals on a pathway by the zoo's tortoise habitat. The hatchlings are said to be eating well and growing. The pampered turtles were born in a series of hatches this year to Mommy and Abrazzo, a couple that is estimated to both be about 100 years old. Mommy arrived at the zoo in 1932, but had not produced offspring until Abrazzo was brought in nearly five years ago from Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Columbia, South Carolina. The 16 are her first progeny. 'Now this animal, who's been in Philadelphia since 1932, will be represented here for, hopefully, another 100 years because her offspring are now part of our collection,' said Lauren Augustine, the zoo's director of herpetology. Four females that hatched early this spring were named after characters in the TV show ' Golden Girls.' Three males were hatched in April, and that was followed by Mommy's second clutch, which resulted in three females in June and six males this summer. Mommy and Abrazzo are the Philadelphia Zoo's oldest inhabitants and seen as highly genetically valuable for the survival of the species. Their offspring are considered a win in the effort to preserve western Santa Cruz tortoises. They are expected to remain at the zoo for at least a year before being placed in different facilities next fall. Western Santa Cruz tortoises are among the 13 living species of tortoise native to seven islands in the Galapagos chain in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Ecuador. The largest species of tortoise, they are thought to live as long as 200 years. The zoo is soliciting donors to suggest names for one of the hatchlings, a male, subject to zoo approval. Others are named Zee, James, Colette, Soledad, Isabelle, Roger, Fausto, Caldero, Lee, Marigold Puddlefoot and Kelpy. The zoo uses nontoxic nail polish in different colors to distinguish them from each other. The Philadelphia Zoo also has two giant Aldabra tortoises, Wilma and Betty. A 135-year-old Galapagos tortoise named Goliath became a father for the first time at Zoo Miami in June.

Bubba from 100.7 Star breaks record for consecutive rides on Kennywood's Steel Curtain

Bubba from 100.7 Star broke the record for most consecutive rides on Kennywood's Steel Curtain. "First of all, the record was 32 consecutive rides uninterrupted without ever getting off the ride," the "Bubba Show" host told Pittsburgh Today Live on Tuesday. "I, because I'm not the smartest guy you've ever met, set a personal goal of 50. And I have to tell you, I failed in my personal goal. I did not get 50. But don't ever bet against Bubba. I am the new record holder for most consecutive rides on the Steel Curtain at Kennywood by riding 33 consecutive times." Bubba said he went upside down 297 times and rode 25 miles of track. It took him five hours. "I got off for one ride, had to do something we won't talk about on TV, and come right back on after I washed my mouth out with water," he said. He said he was ready to quit after the fifth ride and he was "really ready to quit" after ride 15. "And then I thought of something," he said. "I said, quitting is the easiest thing you can ever do but yet the hardest thing that you could ever live with. People go through so many harder things and I wanted to set an example to never, ever quit. But once I got to 33 and I broke the record, I was right off the ride." At 220 feet, the Steel Curtain, named after the Pittsburgh Steelers' famous defense of the 70s, is Pennsylvania's tallest roller coaster. Flipping riders upside down nine times, the Steel Curtain has the most inversions of any coaster in the United States, and one of its inversions is the highest in North America.
