This app lets Mac users take full advantage of Android's Quick Share with new QR code support
Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR NearDrop allows users to send files from their Android device to their Mac. A new update adds support for sending files using QR codes. This update now allows you to send files from your computer to your Android device. It would be nice if Google created a Quick Share app for macOS that allowed you to share files quickly between your Android phone and your Mac. The NearDrop app can help fill that gap, but it's not a perfect solution. However, a new update brings the app closer to its full potential. If you're unfamiliar with NearDrop, it's an unofficial macOS app that uses a partial implementation of Quick Share. Like Quick Share, it allows you to send files wirelessly from one device to another. When we last covered NearDrop, you could only send files from your Android device to your Mac, not the other way around. However, the app has since received an update. According to the app's GitHub page, an update has rolled out that adds support for sending files using QR codes. This update also makes it possible for users to send files from their macOS device to their Android phone. The developer behind the app has shared a GIF of the new capability in action. In addition to QR code support, the developer has also expanded available languages. According to the changelog, NearDrop now supports Romanian translation. Follow

Intel CEO fires back at Trump's demand to resign
Intel's top executive fired back at President Donald Trump, who demanded his resignation over reported conflicts of interest earlier this week. Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan bemoaned 'misinformation' being spread about his track record and said he was committed to the company after Trump called for him to step down due to his reported ties to Chinese firms. Back in April, Reuters exclusively reported that Tan had invested at least $200 million in hundreds of Chinese advanced manufacturing and chip firms, some allegedly linked to China's military. The CEO's public letter came the same day that Trump criticized those reported investments in a post on his platform, Truth Social. The president called for Tan to "resign, immediately," adding that there was "no other solution to this problem." "I know there has been a lot in the news today, and I want to take a moment to address it directly with you," Tan's letter begins. 'I want to be absolutely clear: Over 40+ years in the industry, I've built relationships around the world and across our diverse ecosystem – and I have always operated within the highest legal and ethical standards,' Tan wrote in a Thursday, Aug. 7 letter addressed to Intel employees. Senator questioned Intel CEO's ties to Chinese firms The backlash and response came after Republican Sen. Tom Cotton sent a letter to Intel questioning Tan's ties to Chinese firms and a recent criminal case involving his former firm, Cadence Design Systems. The Arkansas lawmaker, U.S. Army veteran and attorney cited Reuters' past reporting regarding Tan's investments, some of which were made through a venture firm or holding companies. Cotton previously asked the chair of the Fortune 500 company's board to respond to questions about Tan's ties to China, including investments in the country's semiconductor companies and others with connections to its military. 'There has been a lot of misinformation circulating about my past roles at Walden International and Cadence Design Systems,' Tan wrote in the Aug. 7 letter. "My reputation has been built on trust – on doing what I say I'll do, and doing it the right way. This is the same way I am leading Intel." "We are engaging with the Administration to address the matters that have been raised and ensure they have the facts," the letter continues. "I fully share the president's commitment to advancing U.S. national and economic security, I appreciate his leadership to advance these priorities, and I'm proud to lead a company that is so central to these goals." The newly appointed CEO went on to tell employees Intel is making progress and backed by its board, whose members are "fully supportive of the work we are doing to transform our company, innovate for our customers, and execute with discipline." President Trump orders federal law enforcement officers to patrol Washington, D.C. streets Intel announced layoffs in April In a continuation of Intel's struggles in recent years, the California-based company in April announced plans to lay off thousands of employees as part of a company-wide cost-cutting push orchestrated by Tan. At the time, USA TODAY reported, the CEO alluded job reductions that could "span several months.' Contributing: Kathryn Palmer and Russ Wiles with The Arizona Republic, part of the USA TODAY Network.

NASA and Google are building an AI medical assistant to keep Mars-bound astronauts healthy
As human-spaceflight missions grow longer and travel farther from Earth, keeping crews healthy gets more challenging. Astronauts on the International Space Station can depend on real-time calls to Houston, regular cargo deliveries of medicines, and a quick ride home after six months. All of that may soon change as NASA and its commercial partners, like Elon Musk's SpaceX, look to conduct longer-duration missions that would take humans to the Moon and Mars. That looming reality is pushing NASA to gradually make on-orbit medical care more 'Earth-independent.' One early experiment is a proof-of-concept AI medical assistant the agency is building with Google. The tool, called Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant (CMO-DA), is designed to help astronauts diagnose and treat symptoms when no doctor is available or communications to Earth are blacked out. The multi-modal tool, which includes speech, text and images, runs inside Google Cloud's Vertex AI environment. The project is operating under a fixed-price Google Public Sector Subscription agreement, which includes the cost for cloud services, the application development infrastructure and model training, David Cruley, customer engineer at Google's Public Sector business unit, told TechCrunch. NASA owns the source code to the app and has helped fine-tune the models. The Google Vertex AI platform provides access to models from Google and other third parties. The two organizations have put CMO-DA through three scenarios: an ankle injury, flank pain, and ear pain. A trio of physicians, one being an astronaut, graded the assistant's performance across the initial evaluation, history-taking, clinical reasoning, and treatment. The trio found a high degree of diagnostic accuracy, judging the flank pain evaluation and treatment plan to be 74% likely correct; ear pain, 80%; and 88% for the ankle injury. The roadmap is deliberately incremental. NASA scientists said in a slide deck about the effort they are planning on adding more data sources, like medical devices, and training the model to be 'situationally aware' – that is, attuned to space medicine-specific conditions like microgravity. Cruley was vague about whether Google intends to pursue regulatory clearance to take this type of medical assistant into doctor's offices here on Earth, but it could be an obvious next step if the model is validated on orbit. The tool not only could improve the health of astronauts in space, 'but the lessons learned from this tool could also have applicability to other areas of health,' he said.
