Hot deal: The Apple Mac Mini M4 is $100 off
Interestingly enough, the cheapest Mac computer is far from being the least capable. In fact, the Apple Mac Mini M4 is better than several much more expensive Apple laptops. With a retail price of $599, the value per dollar is impressive. And things get even better when you can find it on sale, like today. You can take it home for just $499 right now! Buy the Apple Mac Mini M4 for just $499 ($100 off) This offer is available from Amazon. This deal is for the base model, with an M4 chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Upgraded models are also on sale, though. Check them out if you need a bit more power. If you don't need mobility, a laptop may not be worth the extra price. Getting a desktop computer can save you money and/or give you more performance. The Apple Mac Mini M4 is the perfect example. It's only $499 right now, but it beats many of its bigger brothers, even ones that cost twice its price or more! There is one caveat to keep in mind, though. Laptops cost more, but they also come ready to use, with all you need already built in. If you're getting the Mac Mini, you'll need to consider that you will also need a keyboard, mouse/trackpad, and a monitor. You may already have those, but if you don't, consider that extra cost. Now, let's dig into what makes this so special. It has the same Apple M4 processor and 16GB of RAM you'll find on other base M4 computers, including MacBook Air and Pro models. One would assume they perform identically, but the Apple Mac Mini M4 is actually better. This is mainly because it has much better active cooling, and the internal components aren't as crammed in there. A cooler computer can push higher loads of performance for a more prolonged period. That said, even if the performance was identical to the laptop counterparts, those also do amazingly. They can edit RAW photography and 4K video without an issue. The Mac Mini will do even better. Of course, one main highlight is the design. The Apple Mac Mini M4 is smaller than all its predecessors at a mere 5 x 5 x 2in. This means it won't take up too much space on your desk; some people even hide it behind the monitor. But even if it's in clear view, that isn't a bad thing. It's tiny and actually looks pretty nice. The aluminum body is clean and minimalist, following that iconic design language Apple is known for. While you wouldn't imagine so, it also comes with plenty of ports! The front has a couple of USB-C ports and a 3.5mm headset jack. Additionally, you'll find two extra USB-C Thunderbolt-compatible ports in the back, along with an Ethernet port, an HDMI output, and a power port. Honestly, if you don't need a portable computer, this is one heck of a deal considering the level of performance you can get out of it. This is not the best price we've seen the Apple Mac Mini M4 go for, but it is pretty close. The record-low price is $469, but that only happened once and briefly. We don't see it happening again soon, so it might be a good idea to catch this offer while it's available. Follow

Google's Big Leap Forward for Real-Time Translations Is Deepfaking Your Voice
I can't count the number of times I've been promised the Next Big Thing in app-enabled translation. Since the dawn of Google Translate, it's felt like tech companies (not just Google, but Samsung and Apple, too) have been teasing a future where speech can be translated instantaneously, allowing for near-seamless communication between people from *sarcastic SpongeBob voice* across the world. But the truth is, that future, however enticing on paper, hasn't exactly panned out. As incredible as apps have gotten at translating speech and text with a fairly high degree of accuracy, they haven't quite risen to the speed and cadence of real-life conversations. Designing a translation tool that can keep pace with our mouths (like, actually talking) isn't an easy feat. We talk fast, and we expect even faster responses, which makes live translation less of a marathon than a sprint, or I guess more accurately, a sprint that could be a marathon in length. Given that long promise of snappy, useful, real-time translation, I'm conditioned to roll an eye or two when live translate enters into a keynote, which is exactly what I did during Google's annual Pixel hardware event. This year, though, that eye roll might not be warranted. At its Made by Google keynote, Google showcased a feature that not only translates your speech in real time, but also deepfakes your actual voice (also in near real time) so that the person on the other end can hear you speaking in their native language. And yes, it works in the inverse, too. That's right, just two deepfakes talking to each other; nothing to see here, folks. And the extra wild part is Google was so confident in its new live translation feature that it offered up a live demo, which, I'm not going to lie… it kind of nailed? Gizmodo's Senior Editor, Consumer Tech, Raymond Wong, captured the whole thing live at Google's keynote. For your viewing pleasure, Jimmy Fallon's voice deepfaked into Spanish: Wow, Jimmy Fallon's voice was translated—deepfaked—into Spanish on Pixel 10… and it worked fast and accurately. Even getting inflections correct. This is the quiet game-changing AI feature… translations — Ray Wong (@raywongy) August 20, 2025I was also watching along from home during this segment, and my partner, who's Spanish-speaking and bilingual, confirmed that Google's new AI translate feature seemed to ace the assignment, inflections and all. Don't get me wrong, I still want to test those translation features for myself, but from the looks of it, Google is off to a pretty amazing start here. Powering those translation abilities is Gemini Nano, a compact version of Google's increasingly iterated-upon large language model and the Pixel 10's Tensor G5 chip. Google says its Nano model and the translation feature are run on-device in this case, which means that nothing—including your calls—gets teleported to the cloud while you're translating. That makes its new feature less icky, and I say 'less' in this case because let's be honest, this thing is still deepfaking your voice. Truthfully, if Google's new translation feature wasn't happening on-device, I might be a little worried. As cool as it is, the thought of having a facsimile of your voice stored on a server somewhere is a bad one, given the fact that people use biometrics for all sorts of important digital security, banking included. And in a way, on-device or not, the feature is still creepy. Apparently we're at the stage of instantaneous voice deepfakes. Just imagine what AI can do with a little bit of time and training. But more than anything, I'm impressed by what Google showed off today, especially as someone who's watched tech companies overpromise on translation features for years at this point. It's still too early to declare that Google has hit the Holy Grail of real-time translation, but for once, I'm left thinking that the idea of seamless, phone-enabled translations has actually taken a major leap forward. So, consider my eye roll officially rescinded, Google.

CMA's Google crackdown will put the UK's AI revolution on hold
The heavy hand of the CMA, on Google and tech companies it barely understands, will stop the UK from capitalising on AI, writes Matthew Lesh 'One Billion Customers – Can Anyone Catch the Cell Phone King?' ran the cover story in Forbes magazine. But this wasn't about Apple, or even Android. The headline captured Nokia's heyday in November 2007. Just a few months earlier, Apple announced the iPhone, and the following year, Google would release Android. Nokia's supposedly unassailable monopoly would rapidly evaporate. In the same era, commentators claimed Myspace's network effects would guarantee its long-term dominance, only for Facebook to eat its lunch. A few years earlier, European competition authorities investigated Microsoft's Internet Explorer, convinced that its bundling with Windows would cement an unstoppable grip on the browser market. Yet within a few short years, Internet Explorer's dominance collapsed under the weight of Mozilla's Firefox and then Google's Chrome. The lesson of history is that today's giants can quickly become tomorrow's case studies in obsolescence. Digital markets that may at first appear uncompetitive are not always settled, with dynamic competition threatening existing players and delivering for consumers. The CMA's crackdown on Google and cloud services Regrettably, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) appears determined to rehash these familiar battles. They are on the verge of leveraging new digital competition powers to 'fix' markets just as technological advancements and increasing investment are reshaping their competitive landscape. In doing so, the CMA risks hampering the very innovation and infrastructure that the UK needs to thrive in the AI era. To start, the CMA is on the cusp of declaring 'strategic market status' for Google's search product, which would mean heavy-handed interventions in how the product operates. This is an ironic move, coming just as Google is facing an existential threat from AI chatbots, the heaviest competitive pressure in decades. In response, Google has warned that the CMA's broad interference could result in British users losing early access to new features. Google has already been forced to delay rolling out AI tools in the European Union due to regulatory uncertainty created by the EU's competition regime. A similar story is unfolding in the CMA's recently completed investigation into cloud services, focused on Amazon and Microsoft. This investigation is a case study in regulatory timing gone wrong. When Ofcom first referred the market to the CMA in September 2022, the terrain was entirely different. Large language models were still a laboratory curiosity, and cloud services were primarily judged on storage, compute and reliability. This all changed following ChatGPT's release in November 2022, leading to the generative AI boom and upending the sector. Since then, cloud providers have poured billions into AI-optimised infrastructure, including hyperscale data centres, GPU clusters and integrated AI platforms. This has fundamentally changed how businesses use the cloud. The surge in investment is not incidental. It is the new competitive battleground, with Amazon, Microsoft, Google and a growing cast of challengers racing to deliver more capability. Yet the CMA's findings are rooted in a pre-AI snapshot, effectively freezing the market in 2022 just as its contours were redrawn. In this new landscape, the CMA's concerns about high switching costs and licensing terms are no longer anywhere near as significant. AI capabilities, performance for training and inference, and deep integrations are increasingly decisive. This will have consequences on AI progress By moving to impose strategic market status now, the CMA risks constraining the very infrastructure build-out the UK needs if it is to be an 'AI maker, not an AI taker'. Investment decisions are being made today on where to locate the next wave of AI capacity. Heavy-handed intervention on outdated assumptions sends a worrying signal to investors. The government started the year by ousting the chair of the CMA over concerns that the organisation was insufficiently focused on growth. Chancellor Rachel Reeves spoke about the need to tear down the regulatory barriers to growth. This message has yet to be reflected in the way the CMA is operating. This situation highlights a broader challenge the government faces in terms of regulation. Reducing bureaucratic burdens on businesses requires more than just rhetoric, it entails curtailing problematic powers of quangos. A good starting point for examination will be the digital competition powers handed to the CMA in the final days of the Sunak government, which allow for pre-emptive interventions at lower evidential standards and with limited accountability. If the government fails to reform these powers, the CMA will be free to overreach in fast-moving sectors it only dimly understands, freezing markets in outdated configurations. That risks deterring the AI-era investment the UK needs, leaving the country regulating the past while others race ahead.
