Title: Gmail’s new ‘Package Tracking’ feature is built for shopaholics: Offers package delay updates
Gmail's Package Tracking feature, which was introduced last year, will now show users the new delivery date if their package gets delayed and bump up the associated email to the top.
In November last year, Google added a new feature to Gmail called ‘Package Tracking’ that lets users track their packages and get delivery information without opening the email. Now, the app will automatically bump emails to the top of the inbox if the delivery date changes.
The information will appear on the main page below the email’s subject in orange on Gmail’s Inbox page. This can come in handy since users will no longer have to scour their inbox to find out how many days it will take for their delivery to arrive.
The app will also inform the user about the store’s return policy on the package tracking card along with the link to their return guidelines. However, this information might not be available for every product since it depends on the vendor.
For Gmail to track your packages, the feature needs to be manually enabled from Gmail settings. To do so, simply head over to the ‘Settings’ page and enable the option named ‘ Turn on package tracking’.

Title:Samsung smartphone user? Enable this setting to enhance security and privacy
Auto Blocker on OneUI 6 will add a new layer of additional security to Samsung Galaxy smartphone users
Samsung Galaxy smartphones run on a customised version of Android called OneUI, and the company recently started rolling out the latest OneUI 6, based on Android 14 OS with several new features and visual overhauls, including a new quick settings panel. As a part of the OneUI 6 update, Samsung has also added several new security features, which makes Galaxy smartphones, running on Android 14 a lot more secure, and one such feature is auto blocker.
Samsung’s auto blocker on OneUI 6 can quickly improve the security aspects of your Galaxy smartphone and make your device more secure and less susceptible to hacks and ransomware. When enabled, auto blocker blocks app installations from unauthorised sources, turns on security checks, and blocks commands by USB, which prevents the injection of malicious apps or code via the charging port This new technology also enhances security by automatically blocking images that include malware in messaging apps.
To enable auto blocker on Samsung smartphones, running on Android 14 OS-based OneUI 6, go to settings > security and privacy > auto blocker > and turn it on. Do note that Samsung is using MacAfee technology to scan for suspicious activity in apps and one has to accept the user license and privacy policy to use this feature. While the enhanced blocker does introduce an additional layer of security on Samsung Galaxy smartphones, it also does compromise on some aspects. This includes, not being able to sideload unauthorised apps, and not being able to update the software via a PC. https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/protect-your-galaxy-device-with-the-new-auto-blocker-feature/

Meta releases free-of-charge AI model to challenge Microsoft, Google
Facebook owner Meta has released a new and free-of-charge version of its artificial intelligence [AI] model, making a play against ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and Google.
OpenAI and Google have developed impressive large language models that serve as the foundations of the ChatGPT and Bard chatbots, which have drawn excitement with their capabilities to mimic human creativity and expertise.
Meta, meanwhile, has avoided releasing generative AI products straight to the consumer and instead developed Llama, a language model specifically developed for researchers so that they could perfect it.
Crucially, Llama is open-source, meaning that its inner workings are available to all to be tinkered with and modified, unlike the headline-grabbing AIs developed by OpenAI and Google.
Those models, including OpenAI's world-leading GPT-4, are closed and proprietary, with the clients that use them denied access to their programming code or detailed answers as to how their data is handled.
"Open-source drives innovation because it enables many more developers to build with new technology," Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
"It also improves safety and security because when software is open, more people can scrutinise it to identify and fix potential issues," he added.
The stress on safety also underlines a divergence from OpenAI's models, which have caused alarm by generating false information or by going off the rails in chatbot interactions.
The new, more powerful version of Meta's model, called Llama 2, would be available to any business for download or through Microsoft's Azure cloud service in a special partnership with the Windows maker.
This would be a significant price hike for its business customers and could potentially lead to a vast increase in revenue for Microsoft if AI is seen as a necessary cost going forward. For Meta, a flourishing open-source ecosystem of AI tech built using its models could stymie rivals' plans to earn revenue off their proprietary technology, the value of which would evaporate if developers could use equally powerful open-source systems for free.
A leaked internal Google memo noscriptd "We have no moat, and neither does OpenAI" lit up the tech world in May after it forecasted such a scenario.
Meta is also betting that it will benefit from the advancements, bug fixes and products that may grow out of its model, becoming the go-to default for AI innovation, as it has over the past several years with its widely-adopted open source AI framework PyTorch.
As a social media company, Zuckerberg told investors in April, Meta has more to gain by effectively crowd-sourcing ways to reduce infrastructure costs and maximise the creation of new consumer-facing tools that might draw people to its ad-supported services than it does by charging for access to its models.
"Unlike some of the other companies in the space, we're not selling a cloud computing service where we try to keep the different software infrastructure that we're building proprietary," Zuckerberg said.
"For us, it's way better if the industry standardises on the basic tools that we're using, and therefore we can benefit from the improvements that others make." https://www.trtworld.com/science-and-tech/meta-releases-free-of-charge-ai-model-to-challenge-microsoft-google-14099079

The clip, transmitted 19 million miles, showcased Taters chasing a laser beam. The test aimed to enhance communication in remote parts of the solar system. Despite the vast distance, the video was transmitted faster than most broadband connections. The demonstration is part of NASA's Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) mission, exploring technologies for higher bandwidth content transmission from deep space. The achievement highlights NASA's commitment to advancing optical communications for future interplanetary missions.

PaintJet, a Nashville startup, is revolutionizing industrial painting with its Bravo robotic painter—a mobile elevated work platform designed for large-scale projects. The $10 million Series A funding, led by Outsiders Fund, supports their mission to address staffing challenges in the $2 trillion construction industry. CEO Nick Hegeman emphasizes redefining standards and introducing cost-effective solutions. The Bravo robot connects non-invasively to equipment, offering scalability through rental providers. PaintJet's Alpha Shield paint aims to prolong durability. While not alone in the robotic painting space, PaintJet targets construction companies, including Prologis and Layton Construction, with plans to expand geographically and enter the marine business. The funding will enhance staffing, operations, and technology development.

Firefly Aerospace sent its Alpha rocket to orbit this morning, with the company carrying a payload from Lockheed Martin to space. However, the company has yet to update the public on whether it successfully deployed the satellite to its destination orbit – which could suggest an issue with the rocket’s second stage.
Today’s launch marks the fourth-ever flight of Firefly’s Alpha rocket. The vehicle took off from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base at 9:32 AM local time. The mission, called Fly the Lightning, was a commercial launch for customer Lockheed Martin. The rocket was carrying Lockheed’s demonstrator payload, called the Electronically Steerable Antenna (ESA) technology demonstrator, to low Earth orbit.
