October 11, 2025, 8:46 PM EDT. Tesla has rolled out a new 'Tron: Ares' mode in its Toybox infotainment system, letting drivers mirror the glowing Light Cycles from Disney’s Tron on their dashboards. Activated via the in-car interface, the feature renders a red cycle avatar and can extend the ambient lighting theme into the cabin for compatible cars. The update arrives as Tron: Ares hits theaters, with Tesla promoting the tie‑in on X. More than a gimmick, the mode fits Tesla’s ongoing push to blend software features and entertainment, alongside other Toybox games and recent self-driving updates. The collaboration with Disney signals a broader brand strategy, echoed by a Hollywood premiere display featuring an Optimus-style homage. Ares remains cosmetic, but true to the franchise vibe.

October 11, 2025, 8:01 PM EDT. Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 on 14 October, meaning security updates stop and devices may be exposed. Users can upgrade to Windows 11 for free if their PC is eligible, or sign up for Extended Security Updates (ESU) for up to 12 months, with limitations. Free ESU requires the latest Windows 10 version, a Microsoft account, and backing up settings; otherwise a $30 fee or 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points applies, and commercial devices cost about $61 per device. Many devices may not be eligible for Windows 11, forcing purchases of new hardware and generating environmental impact. Analysts and consumer groups worry about waste and security gaps. For now, plan whether to upgrade, pay for ESU, or replace hardware before the deadline.

October 11, 2025, 8:00 PM EDT. Samsung has begun rolling out the Android 16-based stable One UI 8 update to two devices: the Galaxy XCover7 and the Galaxy M54. The XCover7 receives firmware version G556BXXUBDYIA, while the M54 gets M546BXXU9EYI4. The release is hitting multiple regions, including Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, New Zealand, and Malaysia for the XCover7, and Thailand, Vietnam, New Zealand, Myanmar, and Malaysia for the M54. If you haven't seen the update yet, you can manually check by opening Settings > Software update. This marks another step in Samsung’s push to deliver One UI 8 across its mid-range and rugged lines.

October 11, 2025, 7:44 PM EDT. ABTA's travel study shows more travelers turning to AI for holidays. Alan Smith in Kent used ChatGPT to identify coastal stops in northern Spain and ended up loving Castro Urdiales, a 700-year-old town with lively pintxos. He verified results on Google and booked himself, cautious about the AI's limits. In Wales, Hannah Read aimed for a Norway trip and found a non-existent Newcastle–Bergen ferry predicted by ChatGPT, a reminder that AI can be wrong. The report notes age-based use: 3% of travelers over 60 use AI, 18% of 25–34-year-olds, with overall ~8%. The takeaway: AI can speed up planning and surface ideas, but users should double-check details and not rely on it for bookings or critical routes.

October 11, 2025, 5:50 PM EDT. Long before face detection, cameras learned to read a film's speed with DX coding. Kodak introduced this 1983 standard, using a checkerboard of conductive squares on the canister to let cameras auto-set ISO via simple camera auto sensing contacts. It solved the era's most common mistake: forgetting to match ISO when loading a new roll, which could ruin an entire shoot. The system also spoke to exposure latitude and count, with barcodes for lab workflows. The elegance lay in a low-tech, reliable solution—no microprocessors required. DX-compatible cameras proliferated in the 80s, gradually fading as digital sensors gained true ISO flexibility. This feature shows how film-era design addressed real problems with simple engineering, a contrast to today's computational wonders.
