Meta’s Next Ray-Bans to Stream Video and Let Viewers Talk To You: Report 😎
Meta is planning to roll out a second-gen version of their Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses, and they're adding some pretty cool features. The new glasses will support live streaming directly to Facebook and Instagram. But here's the kicker: they'll also "whisper" comments from the live stream right into your ear through built-in headphones. How futuristic is that?
The current Ray-Ban Stories allow you to take photos and videos but don't support live streaming. Apparently, the lack of interactive features like live streaming might be one of the reasons these glasses haven't maintained their initial popularity. Less than 10% of people who bought them are still using them.
Meta is also addressing privacy concerns with these new glasses. The first-gen had a small LED to indicate recording, which people could easily tape over. The new version won't allow photos or videos to be captured if the LED is tampered with.

Microsoft officially adds Google Chrome support to Bing AI 🤖
This article from 9to5Google is all about Microsoft officially adding support for Bing AI in Google Chrome. When Bing AI first came out about six months ago, it was limited to Microsoft's Edge browser. But now, they're branching out.
Last month, some Chrome users started seeing Bing AI support, but it wasn't available for everyone. As of this week, it's official - Bing AI is supported on Chrome for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Microsoft plans to add support for other browsers in the future too. Oh, and they've also expanded Bing AI's availability in SwiftKey, allowing users to use it up to 30 times a day without signing in.
