HiLight Studio app unlocks full customization of Pixel 11 Pro's notification LED

·1 views

Google's Pixel 11 Pro includes a new notification LED feature called HiLight, but its out-of-the-box functionality is limited to just two triggers and five colors. A developer known as Dhananjay_Tech on X has created a third-party app called HiLight Studio to address these limitations. The app allows users to configure the LED array for a wide range of notifications, such as alerts from apps like Slack. The move mirrors a long-standing tradition of developers expanding on features that manufacturers leave underutilized at launch.

LG 65-inch B6 OLED TV drops to $1,399 at Best Buy, $300 below Amazon

Best Buy is offering LG's 65-inch B6 OLED TV for $1,399.99 as part of its Deal of the Day on Thursday, August 20th, down from the original $1,999.99 price. The deal undercuts Amazon's current listing by $300, making it the lowest price seen for this model. The B6 sits at the entry level of LG's OLED lineup but still delivers 4K picture quality, a 120Hz variable refresh rate with G-Sync and FreeSync Premium support, and four HDMI 2.1 ports. While it is less bright than LG's higher-tier C6, it is considered a strong performer compared to most non-OLED televisions in its price range. The offer is valid only for the remainder of Thursday, August 20th.

Amazon Drones Keep Dropping Packages Into Customer Pools and Ponds

Amazon's Prime Air drone delivery service has been caught on video dropping packages directly into customers' swimming pools on multiple occasions. In one recent incident shared by ABC7 News Bay Area, a drone hovered over a Texas customer's pool before releasing its package straight into the water. A similar event was recorded last July in Arizona, where a drone's propeller downwash blew a delivered package into a nearby pool. These mishaps come as Amazon prepares to expand its drone delivery program to 500 cities across the United States. The repeated incidents raise questions about the reliability and precision of autonomous drone deliveries in residential areas.

Tesla Robotaxis in Austin now running fully driverless ahead of Cybercab rollout

Tesla's Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas appears to have gone fully driverless, with all 170 rides tracked over the past two weeks showing no human safety monitors onboard. The data comes from crowdsourced Robotaxi Tracker, whose creator Ethan McKanna reported that 54 different vehicles were involved in the unsupervised trips. McKanna also noted a sharp rise in driverless Tesla operations in Dallas and Houston, where around 30 unsupervised cars have been active in the past week. The development marks a significant shift from earlier this summer, when human supervisors were still present in the vehicles. This comes roughly seven months after Elon Musk first announced that Austin-based Tesla Robotaxis were operating without onboard safety drivers.
