Google Reportedly Working On a Content Filter Feature for Gemini Google Reportedly Working On a Content Filter Feature for Gemini Google is reportedly working on a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature for its in-house chatbot Gemini. As per the report, the feature was spotted in the latest beta version of the Google app for Android and is called Content filters. As the name suggests, it is believed that the feature will allow users granular control over unwanted or harmful content generated by the AI chatbot. However, since the feature is said to not be public-facing or active, it is unclear how it would function. Gemini May Get a Content Filter Feature According to an Android Authority report, the Mountain View-based tech giant is working on a content moderation tool for Gemini. The evidence of the feature was spotted by the publication in the Google app for Android beta version 15.51.24.sa.arm64. Notably, the feature is not public facing so beta testers will not be able to test it out just yet. The publication also shared a screenshot of the feature. Based on the screenshot, the new feature is available within the Gemini Settings page between the options of Screen context and Manage your Advanced subscription. The new feature is labelled as Content filters. Underneath the name of the feature, the screenshot also shows a brief description which says, “Use filters to control the responses you see”. Not much else is known about the feature as it is not activated on the server side. Tapping on the Gemini feature reportedly redirects users to a URL on Google’s Gemini website. However, this website is currently not active and the publication was not able to find any information. However, based on this information, the feature is likely a tool for users to further control the kind of responses they would like to see. It could offer filters in the same way parental controls are available on devices and websites which allows users to only see safe content. Alternatively, the feature could be expansive and allow users to blacklist websites, ban entire topics, and ground the responses against set verifiers. A less likely possibility is also that this setting allows users to tailor the responses of Gemini by writing style and tonality for all future conversations. However, these are just speculations, and nothing can be said conclusively until Google makes an announcement about the feature.

Thunderbolt 5 dock comes with built-in PCIe 4.0 SSD and four TB5 ports — pricing starts at $399 Thunderbolt 5 dock comes with built-in PCIe 4.0 SSD and four TB5 ports — pricing starts at $399 Sonnet Technologies has announced the Echo 13 Thunderbolt 5 SSD Dock. The headlining feature of this dock is that it can accommodate a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD and facilitate 6,100 MB/s data transfers. Sonnet claims it will be the first to ship a dock with this mix of performance and features (it boasts many other ports). The Echo 13 will be available “in limited quantities” starting this month. Sonnet is a long-time Apple Mac hardware accessories maker. The timing of this hardware release is convenient for Mac M4 users who have recently upgraded and gained access to machines with Thunderbolt 5 ports. It says this device should also be suitable for iPad Pro, Windows, and even Chromebook computers with Thunderbolt 5 and 4 and USB4. Using the older, slower standards will mean reduced performance, but it seems like no functionality will be missing. In addition to the housing for a fast M.2 SSD, the Echo 13 fairly bristles with ports. It features four Thunderbolt 5 ports – one used for connecting the host and which can take 140W for power delivery functionality (e.g., charging your laptop when it docks). Additionally, it has four USB 3.2 Type-A ports, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet jack, a 3.5mm headset jack, and both SD and microSD card slots. Image 1 of 2 (Image credit: Sonnet) (Image credit: Sonnet) When used with Thunderbolt 5 peripherals, users will benefit from up to 80 Gbps of ***-directional data speed — twice as fast as Thunderbolt 4 — and have up to 120 Gbps display bandwidth. Regarding displays, Sonnet says this dock can connect up to two 8K displays or three 4K displays running at up to 144 Hz – you can use USB-C monitors or compatible adaptors for HDMI or DP ports. Thunderbolt 5 was finalized and announced in September 2023, promising up to 120 Gbps bandwidth. Last year, we saw a handful of computers and peripherals with support, and things picked up a little at the recent CES 2025, where we saw the first Thunderbolt 5 eGPU dock (which will also support M.2 SSDs). However, it is still far from becoming a standard I/O feature on new laptops, desktops, or motherboards. The first Echo 13 SSD Docks will be higher-priced SKUs. Sonnet says devices bundled with a Thunderbolt-certified 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe Kingston SSD will initially be available for $669.99. From mid-March, the 2TB and 1TB models will hit retail at MSRPs of $499.99 and $399.99, respectively. A Thunderbolt 5 cable is included with your dock purchase.

Archaeologists Unearth ‘Once-in-a-Century’ Discovery in Pompeii Archaeologists Unearth ‘Once-in-a-Century’ Discovery in Pompeii Archaeologists in Pompeii have unearthed a “once-in-a-century” discovery which has been buried under piles of rock and ash in the ancient city for over 2,000 years. The news was revealed exclusively to BBC News. Scientists uncovered a luxurious bathhouse, which they believe is the largest ever discovered in the Roman city, in the center of a palatial home they first came across two years ago. Since then, archaeologists have been excavating the contents of the estate. The bathhouse is opulent, to say the least, decorated with ornate artwork and featuring a massive plunge pool, as well as hot, warm, and cold rooms. Archaeological Park of Pompeii Press Office Archaeological Park of Pompeii Press Office “There are just a few houses that have a private bath complex, so it was something really for the wealthiest of the wealthy,” Gabriel Zuchtriegel, director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, told BBC. “And this is so huge—it’s probably the biggest bath complex in a Pompeiian private home,” he continued. “It’s these spaces that really are part of the ‘Pompeii effect.’ It’s almost as if the people had only left a minute ago.” Related: Pompeii DNA Reveals Surprising Family, Gender Roles It is believed that the home was owned by Aulus Rustius Verus, a well-heeled Pompeiian politician who is also thought to have owned a bakery and a laundry facility located on the same block as the home. The bathhouse is further evidence of Verus’ uber-elite status. Zuchtriegel and his associates will continue to excavate the residence, searching for more artifacts that illuminate Pompeii’s tragic history. Last August, they discovered the skeletons of two Pompeiians who perished when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. One was an older woman aged between 35 and 50 and the other was a young man in his teens or early 20s. The man and woman, who was clutching an assortment of valuable jewelry and coins, had taken refuge in a small room within the manse hoping to avoid the flames. “This is a dramatic place, and everything you find here tells you about the drama,” Ludovicia Alesse, a Pompeii conservator, told the outlet.

Google Is Rolling Out Custom AI Art Screensavers on Google TV Devices: How to Add Google Is Rolling Out Custom AI Art Screensavers on Google TV Devices: How to Add Google is rolling out the new features announced for Google TV devices last week. Among them, the standout feature is the addition of custom artificial intelligence (AI) art screensavers. This feature allows users to turn their idle screen into a unique piece of art. Additionally, users can also use their images on Google Photos to make it a screensaver. Separately, the Mountain View-based tech giant is also adding a new home panel that will act as the centralised smart home hub. Google TV Gets AI Screensavers A new support page for Google TV has gone up, which details the new feature. Screensavers appear when a smart TV has been left idle for quite a while, and it begins showing wallpapers instead of the home screen. These are usually stock images and generic in nature. However, the new AI feature offers a way for users to flaunt unique art in this space. There are three ways a user can add a custom AI art screensaver. The first is to type a prompt describing the art users want to see. Another way is to use the set templates provided and select them to generate AI art. The third method involves using the “Inspire Me” option. This option will let the AI generate a random art for users to save as a screensaver. If AI images are not something the user prefers, they can also add their favourite pictures from Google Photos. However, to use this feature, the user must be logged into their Google account. Notably, users cannot pick individual images and will have to pick one or more albums to showcase as their screensaver. To set up an AI art screensaver on your Google TV device, you can follow these steps: Go to Google TV home screen and select Settings. Go to System and select Ambient mode. From the list of screensavers, select Custom AI Art. Go to Create New… Choose between Describe your idea, Inspire me, and Suggested templates. After creating a piece of custom AI art, you can use the up and down button to scroll through its variations. Save the preferred images to the image library. You can add more prompts to generate more images. Once done, select Set all as screensaver. For the latest tech news and reviews, follow Gadgets 360 on X, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads and Google News.

Google Pixel Tablet 3 Development Reportedly Cancelled; May Exit Tablet Business Once Again Google Pixel Tablet 3 Development Reportedly Cancelled; May Exit Tablet Business Once Again Google has reportedly cancelled the development of its rumoured Pixel Tablet 3. Employees who have been working on the project are said to have been reassigned to different projects within the company. Previous rumours suggested a 2027 launch timeline for Google’s third-generation tablet. It was said to ship with a Tensor G6 chipset. The purported Pixel Tablet 2 might be the last tablet from Google. The brand launched its Pixel Tablet in 2023. Google Has Reportedly Pulled the Plug on Pixel Tablet 3 Android Headlines, citing industry sources, reports that Google has cancelled the development of its Pixel Tablet 3. The device, internally known as “Kiyomi”, will not be moving forward and this decision was reportedly made sometime last week. Personnel previously assigned to the Pixel Tablet 3 project are said to be redirected to different projects within the company. Shelving Pixel Tablet 3 could shift Google’s hardware roadmap. It was earlier tipped to launch in 2027 with a Tensor G6 chipset under the hood. The latest development indicates that Pixel Tablet 2 will be Google’s last tablet. After a hiatus, Google returned to the tablet market in 2023 with the launch of the Pixel Tablet. While it hasn’t announced a successor yet, we have seen multiple rumours about Pixel Tablet 2. It is expected to go official later this year with a keyboard case. It is said to carry an 8-megapixel sensor in the front and the back. Pixel Tablet starts at $499 (roughly Rs. 40,900). It sports a 10.95-inch WQXGA (1,600×2,560 pixels) screen. It is compatible with a USI 2.0 touch pen. It runs on Google’s in-house octa-core Tensor G2 SoC along with a Titan M2 security chip. It carries 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 inbuilt storage. The Pixel Tablet features an 8-megapixel front camera and an 8-megapixel rear camera. It has quad speakers and offers Google Assistant support. It comes with a magnetic dock with Pogo pin connector support. The tablet is backed by a 27Wh battery.

JD Vance suited and booted for Inauguration Day by Cincinnati-area clothier JD Vance suited and booted for Inauguration Day by Cincinnati-area clothier When Vice President-elect JD Vance takes the oath of office at the U.S. Capitol building on Monday, he’ll be sporting a a custom suit from Romualdo men’s shop in Madeira, a suburb of Cincinnati. Vance to wear traditional navy blue suit for swearing-in Vance plans to wear a two-button, navy blue suit handmade in Italy for his swearing-in ceremony at the second inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States, according to the store’s co-owner, Chris Berre, who said Vance has been a customer for several years. Chris Berre (left) and Tim Brock in their custom suit shop Romualdo in Madeira, Ohio. “He was referred by a mutual friend and started coming in right before his Senate run in 2021,” Berre said of Vance, who resigned his seat in the U.S. Senate last week. “He bought two or three suits before he hit the campaign trail, and he’s been a loyal customer ever since.” Store owner considers Vance a friend Over the years, Berre said he’s developed more than just a business relationship with Vance, who was born in Middletown, Ohio, and owns a home in Cincinnati’s East Walnut Hills neighborhood with his wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance. “He is a friend first,” Berre said. “To see his quick rise to the vice presidency; it’s just a surreal feeling.” Custom suit shop Romualdo in Madeira, Ohio Vance will be fully outfitted for inauguration weekend In addition to his Inauguration Day suit, Vance ordered three more suits, two overcoats, shirts and a variety of Grenadine silk ties crafted in Italy that he’ll wear during inauguration weekend events, said Berre, who bought Romualdo in 2017 with partner Tim Brock. Romualdo Pelle, a 90-year-old Italian immigrant and master tailor who founded the store in 1968, is still active in the business. Founder still active in Romulado business Pelle “supervises the entire process” of filling customer orders from Vance and other celebrities, including Neil Armstrong, Peter Frampton and numerous Cincinnati Bengals’ players and coaches, Berre said. In addition to custom garments, Romualdo carries a wide range of off-the-rack menswear items, including jeans and T-shirts. This story was updated to add a video.

Canada Prepares for Trump Tariff Threat With Three-Stage Plan Canada Prepares for Trump Tariff Threat With Three-Stage Plan Orange juice from Florida. ******** from Tennessee. Peanut butter from Kentucky. Canada is preparing for an all-out trade war with its closest ally and one of its top trading partners, and the list of American goods that could be affected is long. ********* officials are preparing a three-stage plan of retaliatory tariffs and other trade restrictions against the United States, which will be put into motion if President-elect Donald J. Trump makes good on his threat to impose a blanket 25 percent tariff on all ********* goods imported into the United States. ********* officials will wait until Mr. Trump has made his move — which he has said will be on his first day in office, Monday — and then start with imposing tariffs. They would mostly affect consumer goods worth 37 billion ********* dollars ($25.6 billion), according to two senior government officials familiar with the plans. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details of plans meant to remain private for now. Goal: Maximum political pain The ********* officials said their choice of goods was meant to be precisely targeted and aimed at political impact. They specifically want to focus on goods made in Republican or swing states, where the pain of tariffs, like pressure on jobs and the bottom lines of local businesses, would affect Trump allies. Canada’s government hopes that those allies, including governors or members of Congress, would then pick up the phone and call Mr. Trump, intervening in favor of de-escalation. Mélanie Joly, Canada’s foreign minister, who spent Thursday and Friday in Washington, met with a slew of Republicans to make her country’s case, including Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Senator Jim Risch of Idaho, and the Senate majority leader, John Thune of South Dakota. Ms. Joly said she hoped her outreach to senior Republicans would persuade them to intervene to avert or limit a trade war and its negative impact on consumers and jobs on both sides of the border. “My job here is to be able to talk about facts, and that comes before any threat of counter tariffs from our side,” Ms. Joly said in an interview with The Times on Thursday. “Because then the senators might say, ‘Well, why are we doing this? Why are we imposing tariffs? It’s affecting my own constituency.’” But, she added, Canada was ready to forcefully defend its interests if necessary. “Never underestimate Canadians,’’ she said. “We fight very hard, and we’re very courageous. We are willing to be surgical and appropriate to have an impact on American jobs.” Bracing for Mr. Trump’s first day in office and what it might bring for Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet will be huddled together on Monday and Tuesday in what some are calling their “U.S. war room,” in order to be able to respond swiftly if U.S. tariffs are announced. The detailed list of goods is closely held, but it includes dozens of consumer goods from various categories, such as food and beverages, as well as other types of daily products, including dishwashers and porcelain goods like bathtubs and toilets. Depending on what ********* goods Mr. Trump chooses to impose tariffs on, and the level of those tariffs, Canada’s second move would be to expand its own tariffs to more American products, impacting 150 billion ********* dollars’ worth of imports from the United States. As part of its strategy, the ********* government is also looking at other measures that would restrict the export of ********* goods to the United States, such as export quotas or duties to be shouldered by the American side. That type of measure would be reserved for particularly sensitive ********* exports that the United States relies on, such as hydroelectric power from Quebec used to provide energy across New England. Tariffs work more like a tax on goods and are usually passed on to consumers. They make imported goods more expensive, and that often means consumers stop buying them, ultimately hurting the foreign companies exporting them. Trade restrictions like export quotas aim to limit the availability of an exported good, and are particularly effective when an importing nation doesn’t have easily accessible or sufficient alternative sources for that good. Back from the brink No matter how Canada’s counter tariffs or export restrictions are deployed, the goal will be the same: to pressure the Trump administration to step back from the president-elect’s vow to launch a devastating trade war on the United States’ neighbor. The trading relationship between the two countries is enormous, with nearly $1 trillion in goods exchanged every year. Canada fluctuates with Mexico as the United States’ biggest trading partner depending on the price of oil. Some cross-border industries are so integrated that tariffs would suddenly pose a major regulatory headache for many companies. A single vehicle, for example, crosses the U.S.-********* border up to eight times before it is fully assembled. Tariffs would immediately disrupt auto assembly lines across the United States and in Ontario, the auto industry’s heart in Canada. And Canada exports vital commodities to the United States. Some 80 percent of Canada’s oil and 60 percent of its natural gas are exported to the United States. More than half of the oil imported into the United States comes from Canada. A third and final level of escalation if a trade war between the U.S. and Canada escalates and which the ********* government is eager to avoid would restrict the export of sensitive commodities worth hundreds of billions of dollars, including oil and gas, potash, uranium and critical minerals. All are exports that are crucial to the United States Alberta, Canada’s oil-exporting powerhouse, has said it does not support measures that would impact its key industry. The rift between the province’s leadership and the rest of the country could become more consequential if Canada decides oil must be used as leverage against the United States. Canada’s planning for a potentially prolonged U.S. trade war also includes supporting domestic industries, according to one of the senior officials. The government is preparing for the possibility of financial bailouts for ********* businesses that are badly hit by the U.S. tariffs, most likely on a case-by-case basis, the official said. While mass bailouts or blanket funding for entire industries may not be on the table, the official said it would be unthinkable to allow a tariff war with the United States to wipe out thousands of jobs and businesses without the government stepping in to mitigate the blow.
