Google Pixel 10 tipped for Qi2 magnetic charging — what we know

Tom's Guide3 days ago
Google's Pixel 10 range could allow for Qi2.2 charging, even if you don't have a case, according to new leaked images.
The images in question come from Evan Blass (via Android Police) and appear to be Google's official renders for the Made by Pixel event on August 20.
There's a lot of information on the phones in the post, including an image of what appears to be the Pixel 10 with a magnetic charger attached to the back.
This isn't the first time we've heard about Google including a magnet in the phones, as a recent leak about the Pixel 10 range getting heavier hinted at the same.
The leak also mentioned an in-house range of magnetic chargers and stands called "Pixelsnap," which could be what we're seeing in the image.
On top of the image of a magnetic charger, Evan Blass's post also lists several hardware specs for the upcoming devices. While we can't claim these are the final specs, they do match other rumors we've seen in the last few months.
The Pixel 10 is listed as coming with a 6.3-inch Actura display, the Tensor G5 chip, a 48MP main camera and a 13MP ultrawide. While a battery size isn't given, the post does say that the Extreme Battery Saver feature could allow the phone to maintain a 100-hour battery life.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro is stated to feature a 6.3-inch display, while the Pixel 10 Pro XL is listed with a 6.8-inch display, the same as we saw in the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro XL.
Both phones are listed with the Tensor G5, a 50MP wide-angle camera and a 48MP Ultrawide with Macro focus. In terms of the battery, the phones could also manage the same 100-hour battery life listed with the Pixel 10.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is stated to feature a 6.4-inch outer display and an 8-inch inner display. That would match the inner screen size of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but fall just short of Samsung's 6.5-inch outer display.
The post also mentions an advanced triple camera system, which other leaked specs have reported to include a 48MP main camera, a 10.8MP ultrawide, a 10.5MP telephoto with 5x zoom and two 10MP selfie cameras. Interestingly, the Pixel 10 Pro fold could only manage a 72-hour battery life with the Extreme Battery Saver.
As with any leak, it is worth taking these images with a pinch of salt, but Evan Blass is a well-known source, so it is worth taking note. With that said, we don't have long to wait for Google's event, so keep an eye on our Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro Fold hubs for all the news, rumors and leaks as we hear them.

Stunning Mac mini dock revives the Apple Macintosh with a tiny screen

Over a year ago, product designer Scott Yu-Jan created a Mac Studio iPad dock that was inspired by the classic Macintosh design, integrating the iPad mini and a Mac Studio in a sleek 3D-printed package. A few months later, he gave a portable computer treatment to the Mac mini by linking it with a full-sized keyboard and an oddly wide display. Yu-Jan, who is currently an interaction designer at Google, doesn't sell his ware commercially. However, if you've ever dreamed of giving a retro Macintosh look to your tiny Apple desktop, there's finally a product for you. The device in question is Wokyis M5, a Mac mini dock that features a 5-inch display and a heck ton of connections, including an M.2 SSD slot (up to 8TB capacity). The Kickstarter project, which has currently been oversubscribed by more than 16 times over its initial crowdfunding goal, will begin shipping next month. The hub offers a total of 13 ports, which include USB-C (10Gbps USB 3.2), USB-A (four units, 1Gbps), HDMI, SD/microSD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, as well. Recommended Videos The Wokyis website lists the official price of the hub at $199, but on Kickstarter, the 10Gbps version is put up for $169. The 80Gbps variant should cost you $339. Of course, if you pledge as an early bird supporter, the price will come down to as little as $109 for the base model and $199 for the higher-end trim. The biggest draw is the retro Apple Macintosh design format, and the 5-inch display on it. This is no toy screen. It's a fully functional panel that supports screen extending or mirroring for the Mac mini, just like any other external display connected to your Mac. I believe it would be perfect for controlling media playback or keeping an eye on chats. There's even a power button underneath the screen, adorned in the classic Apple logo color wave. Do keep in mind that it only supports the current-gen Mac mini with its shrunk chassis and an M4 series processor inside. However, it will work when connected with a MacBook, as well. You can check out more details about Wokyis M5 on its Kickstarter page and the brand's official website.

OpenAI ends ChatGPT users' option to index chats on search engines

Aug. 2 (UPI) -- OpenAI is ending the option to have Google and other search engines index user chats with ChatGPT and make the content of those chats discoverable on searches. Google accounts for more than 89% of all online searches, which made private chats on ChatGPT potentially widely accessible when indexed on that search engine and others. "This feature introduced too many opportunities for folks to accidentally share things they didn't intend to, so we're removing the option," Dan Stuckey, OpenAI chief information security officer, told PC Mag. Bing, DuckDuckGo and other search engines will continue to index discoverable chats, but only for a while longer. "We're also working to remove indexed content from the relevant search engines," Stuckey said. OpenAI recently enabled the index option for private ChatGPT discussions as an experiment, Stuckey added, but that experiment is ending. A message informed users their indexed chats were searchable on Google and other search engines, but many users did not read the message or don't understand the extent to which their conversations might be available to others. Such conversations are accessible when affixing "site:chatgpt/share" to search queries when those conversations are indexed. News of the indexed private conversations with ChatGPT first was reported by FastCompany on Wednesday in a story detailing Google's indexing of ChatGPT conversations. The indexing does not provide information on respective users, but the conversations might include personal information when mentioned by the users while conversing with ChatGPT. Many users also were unaware that sharing a conversation with someone via social apps, such as WhatsApp, when saving the URL for future use would cause Google to make it potentially widely available to millions of people. OpenAI officials recently announced they were appealing a court order requiring the preservation of all chats that users delete after conversing with ChatGPT, Ars Technica reported.
