Polk County teacher accused of sending child pornography on messaging app

Eddie Chirino, a 34-year-old teacher from Tenoroc High School in Polk County, has been arrested for downloading and distributing child pornography, facing three counts related to promoting sexual performance by a child. The investigation began after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children alerted local authorities. Chirino used the Kik messenger app for sharing illicit videos, and during a search of his home, detectives found marijuana and evidence of child pornography on his electronic devices, including videos and chat logs. He was taken into custody and is held at the Polk County Jail, with the school district confirming his termination. The Polk County Sheriff emphasized a zero tolerance policy toward child pornography, especially involving educators.

Activity? Journeys? Library? Google just can’t stop renaming this history view (APK teardown)

The Google Android app has rebranded its "Saved" feature to "Activity" and is currently testing new labels such as "Journeys" and "Library" for the historical view of user search history and saved items. Users on the beta version 16.30.59.ve.arm64 have reported these changes, and an APK teardown has revealed potential alternative names including Activity, Hub, Journeys, Library, Recents, You, and Your Space. This experimentation has resulted in different labels appearing for the same Google account across devices. Additionally, there are indications that Google may introduce new functionalities, such as a section for "Recent Song Searches," integrating song search history with web history.

Gemini blazes past the old Assistant with this useful setting change

Google's Gemini Team announced an upcoming enhancement to the AI's integration with applications on Android devices, set to roll out on July 7. Gemini will soon be able to access connected Extensions (apps) to assist with user queries without requiring App Activity to be enabled. Users will maintain control over which apps and data Gemini can access, and they can disconnect Gemini from specific apps at any time through the Settings menu. The update aims to improve the user experience by allowing Gemini to help with tasks like sending messages and setting timers even when App Activity is turned off. Additionally, earlier this year, Google introduced a significant upgrade to the Gemini app, including a personalization test and a 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental model for a more customized experience.

Google might be working on a new Gemini UI that makes sense on tablets

Google is enhancing the user experience of its Gemini platform on tablets with a new beta release that features a tablet-friendly layout, including a sidebar for quick access to chats and a hamburger menu for navigation. The updated design includes shortcuts for starting new conversations and searching past discussions, as well as a modified prompt bar that highlights tools like “Deep Research” and “Canvas.” A new “Search History” function allows users to retrieve past chats using keywords. The latest beta version (v16.20.48.sa.arm64) for Android mirrors the web interface, with a left-hand sidebar for navigation and practical shortcuts for new and archived chats. Users can switch between different Gemini models using a dropdown menu, and a full-screen mode option is available to hide the sidebar for a distraction-free view. The timeline for the widespread rollout of the tablet-optimized layout is currently uncertain.
