I don't know.
I'm counting down the days until Gemini can convince me I'm really talking to the real Luke Skywalker,
who didn't actually do those things in the sequels.
Boeing's Starliner mission may be a full dud,
as NASA is apparently considering alternate options
for bringing two astronauts back to Earth.
The Starliner spacecraft has been docked to the International Space Station for eight weeks,
Even though astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams
were supposed to be back around eight days after being launched into orbit.
Sources say it's now very possible that the pair will be brought back by SpaceX,
and that all that extra time in space waiting for Starliner to be tested will be for nothing.
They had to spend weeks strapping themselves to a toilet so that a fan
could suck their poop into a plastic bag.
And that's real.
And an AI-controlled autonomous robot has performed an entire
dental procedure on a person for the first time,
and it was eight times faster than a human dentist.
If you're like me, spending less time in a dental chair is reason enough to give a robot a shot
at looking after the old mouth rocks.
The robot shaves off that much time by using highly accurate light -based scanning
that is then analyzed by AI to plan the procedure.
But the best part is,
the robot doesn't wait until its hands are in your mouth to ask how your brother's doing.
In fact, it doesn't ask at all.
Sounds great.
But I would like to kindly ask you to please come back on Monday for a special Talk-Linked episode.
We have a stat holiday,
so we won't be here in the office,
but we hope you will be.
We'll be pocky there, in...in here
Love you.
Oh, it's tech news, son!
Hahahaha
Bam! You're not ready!
Apple's expected to unveil the iPhone 16 lineup in early September,
but I don't think anyone was expecting this leaked image of the iPhone 16 Pro
in a color that can be charitably described as russet?
Ochre?
I don't know why I'm pretending to do this.
We already made the thumbnail.
The leaker, Sonny Dixon,
on Twitter actually...
That's just his name!
He actually posted the three other, much more safe for the dinner table colors in July,
strangely omitting the fourth one, presumably out of embarrassment.
It took him two weeks to muster the courage to finally be honest with the world.
Fine! It's a poop iPhone, okay?
Previous iPhone leaks have pointed to Apple going with a new color
that could be described as rose or bronze,
maybe indicating a color that looks different in separate environments with unique lighting?
I mean, maybe this photo was taken in the same environment
as Microsoft's chocolate brown Zune from 2006.
We can't know.
Yeah, if I'm being completely honest, I expect this phone to look a lot nicer in person,
but if I end up being disappointed,
at least that'll be consistent with current rumors about the iPhone 16 Pro's design,
which is expected to feature a new button for taking pictures.
And not much else.
One thing the new iPhones will definitely have though, is Fortnite!
In the EU anyway.
That's right,
Epic Games has finally managed to launch its Epic Games Store app on iOS
through sheer willpower and lots of loud complaining.
The process to install EGS on iOS can still be a bit confusing,
so Epic posted a tutorial video,
which must have felt so good.
They're making the video just like flipping off a picture of Tim Cook on the wall.
I feel nothing.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah, that was good.
That was good, Jacob.
Epic is also relaunching their store app on Android globally,
after handily winning their Play Store lawsuit against Google.
Both platforms' versions of EGS will host Epic's own games,
like Fortnite, Rocket League, Sideswipe, and Fall Guys,
with plans to host other developers' apps in the future.
It's a triumphant moment,
but Epic didn't want to celebrate alone,
so it awarded a mega grant to AltStorePal,
another iOS app marketplace.
The amount of the monetary award was not disclosed,
but it's apparently enough to cover Apple's ridiculous core technology fee.
So AltStore developer Riley Tested is dropping the subscription fee and giving access to the store for free.
And that's how Epic is gonna win.
Not by fighting what they hate.
By paying people to be their friends.
Web publishers have told Bloomberg Google has put them in a sticky situation.
Either allow the Googlebot web crawler to slither all over their content
and use it as fodder for the AI overviews,
most well-known for telling people to literally eat rocks,
or block the crawler and not show up in search results,
since the same bot is responsible for both.
Ah, it's a real catch-22, writes Engadget.
Wrongly, because it's not.
There's still the choice to block, or not block.
So this is just a garden variety dilemma.
Now, if you had to be certifiably insane to block the Googlebot,
but blocking it proved that you were sane,
that would be a catch-22.
What were we talking about?

I don't know.
