Teenage Engineering has released OS 2.5, a major firmware update for its $329 EP-133 KO II sampler. The update introduces USB audio support, selectable sample rates for lo-fi effects, sample reverse, and an arpeggiator. It also adds equal-length autochopping and doubles the maximum sample length from 20 to 40 seconds by switching from stereo to mono capture. This marks one of the most significant updates the device has received since its launch, building on a series of earlier improvements.
Acclaimed author Margaret Atwood shared her skepticism about AI during an interview at the Babell Literary and Cultural Festival in Porto, Portugal. Atwood, known for works like The Handmaid's Tale, revealed she has used an AI chatbot only once — Anthropic's Claude. She tested it by asking about the British detective series Father Brown, but the tool returned incorrect information. Atwood noted that Claude wasn't technically lying since it lacks human awareness, describing it as a large language model rather than a conscious entity. She summed up her concerns about AI with the phrase 'garbage in, garbage out,' suggesting the technology's reliability is only as good as the data it is trained on.
Apple has reportedly asked the Trump administration for an exemption to purchase RAM chips from Chinese memory maker CXMT, according to the Financial Times. CXMT is blacklisted by the Pentagon due to alleged ties to China's People's Liberation Army. While no US law explicitly prohibits Apple from buying chips from CXMT, the move carries significant reputational risks given the military connection. Apple is exploring alternative chip sources as surging RAM and storage costs have already forced it to raise prices across most of its product lineup this week.
