What are your fastidious fingers meant to do when the novelty of a fidget spinner wears off? Designer Klemens Schillinger may have the answer with his Substitute Phones series, part artwork and part social message. Described as “the object as a therapeutic approach,” each may be shaped like a phone but only does one thing. At first glance, you’d easily … Continue reading
The CEO and co-founder of Razer defended the company’s lack of headphone jack on their brand new Razer Phone this week. Users submitted “feedback” on the subject over the past week, and Razer’s Min-Liang Tan responded this weekend in kind. The changes, he suggested, came not because of industry trends, but because there are more important things to fill that … Continue reading
There’s been a lot of talk about the Galaxy S9 thus far, and hearing about a new flagship well ahead of its launch is nothing out of the ordinary.

Maybe there’s an audiophile on your list, or maybe you’re shopping for someone who recently acquired a new phone and could use something better than the pack-in headphones. Either way, we have a slew of recommendations in the audio gear section of ou…
Unless you have a Google-branded phone or are willing to jump into a beta test, you probably haven’t had an easy upgrade path to Android Oreo. However, it seems like they’re starting to trickle out: HTC is releasing an Oreo update for the unlocked U1…
Facebook has previously used artificial intelligence to surface suicide reporting options to friends of a troubled user. The technology helps detect users who might be in need of help and connects them to organizations and services that provide help. Facebook has now said that it’s going to use its artificial intelligence to detect suicidal posts before they’re even reported.
Facebook’s “proactive detection” artificial intelligence technology is going to scan all posts on the world’s largest social network for patterns of suicidal thoughts.
When it feels the need to do so, the AI is going to send mental health resources to the user who’s flagged to be at risk. The information may also be sent to their friends and it may even establish contact with local first responders.
Relying completely on artificial intelligence to flag posts with suicidal thoughts to human moderators instead of waiting for user reports is going to help Facebook reduce the time to send help.
Facebook is going to use this technology all over the world to dig up posts with patterns of suicidal thoughts. The European Union remains an exception as the region’s privacy laws make it difficult to use this technology without getting on the bad side of regulators.
The AI is also going to be used to prioritize particularly risky or urgent user reports so that moderators address them before others. More moderators are also being dedicated to suicide prevention.

Jailbreaking used to be all the rage a couple of years ago. Not anymore. The process enabled users to access customization options for their iOS devices that were otherwise not allowed by Apple. It also allowed for app piracy on Apple’s operating system. The jailbreak community has more or less faded into oblivion over the past couple of years so it’s no surprise to see that iOS jailbreak repositories are now shutting down. As there’s no user interest remaining in them, there’s no need for these repositories to remain up and running.
Two of the most popular jailbreak repositories have now been shut down. ModMyi was the first one. The team mentioned that since there was no interest from the community, the server costs were “insane” and the money that the repository was generating was below the required amount to keep it running. It wasn’t even making enough to break even, let alone turn a profit.
MaCiti, another popular jailbreak repository, has shut down now. The inevitable happened and it had to be shut down. The reality will soon also catch up with the other minor repositories that are currently running. They won’t be able to generate the funds required to break even.
It also doesn’t help that the latest version of iOS hasn’t been jailbroken. Moreover, there’s just no longer the kind of interest that there once way in jailbreaking and it’s hard to say if it’s ever going to be like that again.
