Yeah, but I'm not itching to go downtown and tell a receptionist I'm here to talk about my downtown. Some things you'd rather type than say out loud.

2:03Sarah Lane: There's no question too embarrassing for Amazon Health AI. Chat your symptoms and get virtual care 24-7. Healthcare just got less painful.

2:24this is the daily tech news for wednesday may 27th 2026 we tell you what you need to know give you important context and try to help each other understand all this crazy stuff today x reel comes

2:35Sarah Lane: out with budget ar glasses and duck duck go benefits from that ai backlash good for dr go I'm Tom Merritt. And I'm Sarah Lane. Let's start with what you need to know with the big story. So Xreal, getting into budget display glasses. They have$500,$600 glasses that you plug into your device by USB-C. Now they will have cheaper ones called X by Xreal or XBX for short, but don't say Xbox. I got to be confused with Xbox. Yeah. Right. Exactly. Which just recently made everything capital letters. So way to go, Xreal. Yeah, I don't know about the naming convention. The first model in that series is the A01.

3:20It has a slightly smaller field of view than the more expensive versions, like for the One Pro, for example. 50-degree field of view, but it has a brighter screen. Micro OLED displays with 1600-nit brightness, 1080p, 120 frames per second. So you're going to get a nice-looking picture. they also support hdr 10 for video which is similar to the budget glasses from tcl the ray neo air 4 pro they weigh 62 grams so they're lighter than the more expensive ones too so your wallet and your glasses will both be lighter also has anti-shake so that you know when you're bouncing around in fact tom's hardware said they tested them out on a plane and they were really solid.

4:05Oh, like during turbulence? Yeah, yeah. When they were bouncing around in the air, the picture stayed nice and steady. Swappable frame fronts so that you can change the look. That way, when you are using them on the plane, they look kind of stylish. They also have different frame fronts for immersive or transparent mode. If you want to be able to see out to the world around you or you'd rather just have like a blackout, you can swap those frames for a practical reason, not just for style. And you'll be able to 3D print your own. All of that is still yet to come. They don't have any of those available yet, but you can make your own.

4:39They'll give you the specs and all that. The AO1 costs$299 right now, and you can get them in China for the equivalent price in yuan. And they're coming to the United States in July. So they'll be$299 when they go on sale in July. Tom's Hardware points out that they are not only competitive with the TCLs, but also Viture has plans to hit this price range. So it's a growing segment, which Tom's Hardware is calling, you know, the MacBook Neo of AR glasses, but this more affordable version of this.

5:13Sarah Lane: Well, so you mentioned the plane and Tom's Hardware and wherever else I read, this was written up on a few different sites this morning, you know, mentioning people who commute, you know, you're kind of stuck on a train for a while or maybe on a bus or in a car, if you're not driving that car type thing. This is a sit back and not have to kind of watch the same thing on your phone hunched over. And that's great. I don't totally know what you would use them for otherwise. I do think that going for the lower price point and also going for the, and you can change the style is a very good call. because otherwise you're paying a lot of money for something that is more robust as far as what X-Rail also offers.

6:05Sarah Lane: But style is not of utmost importance. And then you're kind of like, well, how often do I need cameras on both sides of my glasses? Sometimes you do. Most of the time, if you're trying to do a lean back thing, you don't. Yeah. And it gets confusing because these glasses are not compatible or not competitive with like the Ray-Bans that come from Meta. They're not meant to be worn around and seen through, even though they have transparent frames. That's just so that you can see the world around you while you're like working on your laptop. But there are two big screens in front of your eyes when you wear these things.

6:46I've tried the Xreal One Pros and they're tethered. You have to plug them in to whatever device it is. USB-C, so it could be a laptop, could be a phone. It works on all of that. But it's a different use case than the smart glasses. Xreal also going to be doing Project Aura for Google, which will be a more expensive, more immersive version of this coming later, which maybe will be meant to be worn around. We'll see if that's part of it. But these are not. This is, I want to have a monitor that I wear on my face that is bigger than a monitor that I would buy and have to set somewhere and is more portable and now is less expensive, even though I have that smaller field of view.

7:29Sarah Lane: 100%. I mean, you're on the road right now. This would be a great option for you to be like, well, instead of having to pack a laptop or even a tablet and just have that on the go, because you're going to have your phone with you, right? Yeah, right. Yeah. then yeah, it's a good way to, I guess, kill some time. I wonder how much, you know, for people who are like, well, I don't know, I just have other ways of watching things or I don't really watch things unless I'm in my living room at home, you know, with my cup of tea or dinner or whatever, how much this will resonate with the market. But again, Yeah, there's no end of people who don't need these glasses, right?

8:09Totally, totally.

8:09Sarah Lane: But, you know, when the price point comes down far enough, then you get people sort of saying, oh, actually, maybe this could be kind of interesting rather than like, I don't need that. Yeah, for$599, I don't need that. For$299? Huh, maybe I could use that. I don't know many people that use this as their daily monitor, although Xreal would love people to do that. They do seem to be more of a use case. And I think this changeable frames is part of that. Like, oh, we understand that this is kind of a commuter device for a lot of people. and the the glasses that they make the xreal ones don't look bad but you might want to customize them and i think that's smart to provide that as well yeah and for everybody saying like wow do we really need fashion to come into this fashion is a part of all glasses yeah whether whether it's eyeglasses sunglasses or some combination of both it's like yes variety is great for people yeah you may not care about it but lots of people a lot of people do a lot of people do well we're glad that a lot of you care about DTNS.

12:38There's more we need to know today.

12:39Sarah Lane: Let's get to the briefs. Let's do it. Despite the fact that AI mode is not the default in Google search and hasn't really changed much in two years other than putting a button to use it in the search box if you so desire, some users have reacted negatively and made a switch. DuckDuckGo seems to be the beneficiary. DuckDuckGo said that U.S. app installs rose 18.1 % week over week, on average the week of May 20th, peaking at 30.5 % on May 25th. If you narrow down to iOS users, it was 33 % for the week, peaking at 69.9%. Visits to DuckDuckGo's own AI-free search page at noai.duckduckgo.com for all you AI haters also rose 22.7%.

13:28Sarah Lane: So people are definitely using it. Apptopia backed up DuckDuckGo's numbers, noting a 29 % increase in daily downloads of the app in the US and 12 % globally. Yeah, this is a big backlash. And it reminds me of the social media backlashes, like everyone's leaving Twitter. And you would get these big numbers of people moving to something else. But you have to keep in mind, and this is no shade on DuckDuckGo, which is my default search engine on my phone. And I think their AI implementation is great because it's very privacy forward and it's optional and it works pretty well. But if you don't want to use AI at all, they give you that option.

14:12You have to remember that DuckDuckGo had 2 % of the market. So it doesn't take as many new users to give you big percentage increases as it would if they had a larger segment of the market. So I'm not sure how much of this is just your typical like, well, that's it. I'm tired of them pushing AI on me. I'm moving to DuckDuckGo. And then people slink back to Google later because they weren't able to get the search result they wanted from DuckDuckGo or they just missed it or they get back in the habit or anything like that. It seems like that happens a lot with these kinds of things.

14:46Sarah Lane: It does surprise me. Well, I don't know if it surprises me, but I find it interesting that there's this supposed big AI mode backlash about Google. Like, what are they doing to us? It's like, well, whatever they're doing to you, they have been doing already. Yeah. But also, what are they doing exactly? I mean, even the even so AI mode is its own thing. I had mentioned in a conversation we had last week, I think it was on DTNS Live, that the AI summaries that come at the top of search results now in Google, which you can turn off if you really hate them, I find them to be pretty helpful, you know, just as sort of like a first glance type thing.

15:31Sarah Lane: So I don't feel like Google has done anything catastrophically terrible to people who are anti-AI. But if you are, and you're just like, nope, I just want a different experience. I don't want these options. I don't want this company to try to get me to use it. Then sounds like, you know, noai.go.com might be a good place for you to hang out. Yeah, I think DuckDuckGo is an excellent service. And I'm glad more people are going to try it out and see how it works. DuckDuckGo is very smartly leaning into that and pushing the narrative like, yes, they're trying to force AI down your throat. Come to us.

16:10We'll let you use it if you want, but we won't force you to use it. I think that's good marketing for DuckDuckGo.

16:16Sarah Lane: But Google isn't forcing you either. It isn't. But what's happening is people are reading stories or social media posts that tell them that it is. And they don't care what the facts are. They're like, I see a person I trust telling me to be mad, so I'm going to believe it and be mad. Right, robots taking over. I'm not into this. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And the fact is, not that anyone who's really all that upset and switching cares, but the fact is that nothing has changed in the way AI mode works for Google, except that they gave you an option to turn it on more easily in the search box. There are also a bunch of other features that are agentic and things that are coming that you can choose to use if you want to.

16:58But if you didn't like the way Google was doing AI before and the fact that it does put AI mode up at the top of the search results and more people are seeing AI mode than they used to, so some may feel like, oh, they just turned it on because maybe it wasn't showing up for them. Yeah, they're pushing us or they're trying to confuse us. I can see where that perception comes from.

17:19Sarah Lane: Yeah, yeah, me too. Well, just a heads up, if you have a Windows machine that you don't boot up very often, Windows 11's secure boot certificate expires in June. If you're like, what? When did this, why is this happening? Microsoft has been rolling out a new certificate to replace the old one for a while now. The old one dates back to 2011, so it's kind of due to be updated. Most of you already have this. It's been rolling out in monthly updates for Windows 11 versions 24H2, 25H2, 26H1. Even if you have Windows 10, if you have extended security updates, it's been rolling out there too. But if you have one of those machines that you don't keep updated or you don't turn on all the time, you might not have got it.

18:01It's a small percentage. But if you don't get it, you could lose updates to malware. You could lose some Windows features and it might not even boot. It's not guaranteed that there will be a boot failure, but it causes enough instability that when it does the check, it might decide that it's unsafe to boot because every time your Windows PC starts, the firmware checks these certificates to make sure nothing changed without your authorization. And if it doesn't see that, it's unexpected what exactly could happen every single time. Now, if your computer uses BIOS and you know what BIOS is, you don't have to worry about it.

18:36And if you have UEFI, then you probably do need to worry about it. And if you don't know what either of those are, then you probably should check to make sure you got this. And you can check it at the Windows Security app. Go to Windows Settings, Privacy and Security, Windows Security, Device Security, just right down the security rabbit hole, and then check your secure boot status. If you see a green circle with a white checkmark, you're good to go. If you see a yellow or a red, then you can just follow instructions from there on how to make sure to do the reboot. Sometimes you have to reboot multiple times in this kind If that happened in the past, that might have been what was going on because this isn't a patch for Windows.

19:18It's a patch for your firmware because it's, again, making sure that all your equipment is authorized and somebody didn't sneak in and change something out without your permission. It's the kind of thing that caused a lot of PC builders to tear their hair out because they're like, well, what if I want to replace pieces? There are ways to do that as well. and again most people probably don't need to worry about this uh it's only folks like myself i have a windows machine that i use all the time and i have one that i don't and i'm like oh i better go turn on that one i don't use all the time just to make sure that it's in good shape

19:49Sarah Lane: and gets this update i actually i've got a system 76 uh haven't used it in a while and i my first thought was like yeah you know what let's let's let's go into settings and see what's up um but I haven't used it in so long that it won't turn on because it's out of battery and I don't know where the power supply is. It's around here somewhere. A whole different situation. Yeah. Yeah. No, we're, step one, make sure it's powered on. Charge the battery. And yeah, but, but yeah, no, this is a, it's a good reminder. This is, this is something that, again, I don't use regularly, clearly. It's been in a box in my closet for far too long, but it's always good to have around.

20:29Sarah Lane: It's good to have around. So if you've got one of those older Windows machines like you and I both do, Tom, or anybody else out there, just stay on top of it. Yeah, or a friend or a family member that you just know they're not good at pushing the updates, accepting the updates, or keeping them coming. This is a time to make sure that they get this one. Indeed. YouTube is now automatically labeling content on YouTube that was generated by its own tools like Vio or DreamScreen. screen. So creators can also continue to manually label their content as generated. Some do, some don't, but you certainly can as a creator.

21:08Sarah Lane: The labels are more visible now though, appearing right below the video player, above the description, or as an overlay if it's in a short. So this is just more of like, hey, here's what's going on. Now you know. Yeah. I like that this is turned on by default for the ones that they can know. There's a watermark in their own stuff that they can easily look at and go, oh, we see the watermark. Great. Let's just put the label up there. I think it's interesting if you're a creator and you think it was misapplied somehow, you can go turn it off, which means even if it wasn't misapplied, you could probably turn it off.

21:43But this is better. This isn't 100 % effective at identifying AI content, but it's going to identify more than it would have otherwise. And for the people who are concerned about that, you know, the fact that it's more visible, I think is a really good thing. Maybe a little annoying on the short to have it overlay there, but at least it's getting the message out. Nobody's going to miss it.

22:04Sarah Lane: Yeah, I wonder how many folks who consume more YouTube content than I do are worried about like, is this AI generated or not? Because that's exactly what this is for. You know, it's front and center. This is what we're doing. Nobody's trying to pull the wool over your eyes type thing. But yeah, if you're out there saying, actually, this is a really good call by YouTube, let us know. Yeah. If you're part of the 30 % moving to DuckDuckGo, you might also be the kind of person who wants to see this label. Indeed. Well, if you're the kind of person who likes product reviews, but wants those reviews from people who are using those products after a long enough period of time so they really have a sense of what it's good for and what it isn't good for, then your new favorite show might be Live With It.

22:53Sarah Lane: This week, Roger Chang and I are duking it out over printers. We both have printers. They're sort of similar, but they're sort of different. And Roger thinks I might have made a big mistake not getting an all-in-one. You can get Live With It wherever you get your podcasts at our new YouTube channel, youtube.com slash at livewithitshow. Or of course.

24:52And now some quick headlines that are just good to know and might make you look smarter in the future.

24:56Sarah Lane: as sony prepares to hand over tv manufacturing to tcl it announced its first mini led tvs which it calls true rgb the bravia 9.2 and bravia 7.2 i used to love my old son sony bravia yeah great tv uh end of an era certainly and also ces technology continuing to ship it's it's the theme of 2026 how about that yeah roku is rolling out its most major change to the home screen in more than 10 years. Lots of features to look at. Some of the ones worth paying attention to, your most used apps will show up most prominently, so you don't have to go hunting around for them. They're going to add top picks for not only recommended apps, but recommended programming based on what it knows about what you watch and also taking what it knows about what you watched and doing genre-based sections.

25:47So if you're a Romantasy fan, you'll get a Romantasy row. If you're a thriller fan, you'll get a thriller row. And of course, more prominent ad placement, which is probably the real reason that they redesigned this homepage.

25:59Sarah Lane: How very Amazon Fire TV of them. I mean, I don't know. I have not used a Roku interface in quite some time. But yeah, this sounds like where a lot of these a lot of these more affordable options are going. 11 Labs' new Music V2 model can switch genres mid-track, say from opera to jazz. Same song. The new model is available on 11 Labs' 11 Creative Tool and 11 Music Platform. Now, I don't know how many times you'll need to switch genres mid-track. I was trying to think, like, when will we ever do that? But now I want to. I want, you know, I want to take, uh, you know, that jazzy, uh, version of a song I created and then make it heavy metal midway through.

26:49Like, absolutely.

26:50Sarah Lane: We all have, there, there's always that song where you're like, Oh, you know, for the first two minutes, it's one song. And then it kind of changes into a whole different song. I can't really think of one, like, I don't know, off the top of my head, but there are lots of those songs. And, and for those reasons, they can be really beloved because they're very unique sounding. So this is cool just because it's possible. I don't know how often I would need this, but I, you know, again, it's, it's cool that it can be done. It's going to make people go try out music V2, you know, and maybe they'll find other reasons why this particular feature can do other things that are not just changing jazzed a heavy model, although I'm definitely doing that.

27:38Samsung workers approved the union deal as expected that we were talking about earlier last week. That avoids a strike and will allocate 10.5 % of semiconductor operating profit at Samsung to be paid to chip workers as bonuses. And now all of South Korea is worried that all the other unions are going to want to do this, including Samsung's own other unions, which are now complaining like, hey, why is it just the chip workers that are getting this.

28:03Sarah Lane: Yeah. Poland's CD project announced a third story expansion, Songs of the Past, coming for The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt in 2027, pushing the expected date of the fourth Witcher game to later, possibly 2028. Yeah, a lot of anxious people upset that this means we're not getting the fourth Witcher game as soon as they thought. Everybody thought we were going to get songs of the past earlier as well. So that is, I guess, the kind of good news that makes people upset. You know what I mean? Like you're getting something. Yeah, but I wanted it earlier. Qualcomm has created a deal to provide chips to ByteDance and they cleverly are avoiding U.S.

28:46restrictions. Qualcomm is going to supply an ASIC, an application-specific integrated circuit that fits within U.S. performance restrictions. It's not too powerful, so it will be allowed to be sold to ByteDance, which is a Chinese company, according to the US. And then Qualcomm is going to help ByteDance manufacture its own internally designed chip at scale, at volume. So ByteDance has already been able to manufacture it, but Qualcomm is going to help them scale that up. And between the two, ByteDance thinks it's going to have a much more capable set of hardware to run on.

29:22Sarah Lane: R.W. Nash and Motang both noted these stories in our subreddit. California has introduced an amendment to its law requiring operating systems to provide age verification. It would exempt open source systems from this requirement. Colorado has already added a similar exemption to its age verification law. Yeah, a lot of people were upset about Linux being lumped in with Mac OS and Windows on this. And at least in Colorado and California, they will no longer be. The Trump T1 phone has begun shipping and Phone Arena notes that it It appears to be a modified version of the HTC U24 Pro from 2024. It's got similar specs and similar construction with a few modifications.

30:06Sarah Lane: Wi-Fi 8 not received final ratification, but Broadcom became the latest vendor to include Wi-Fi 8 compatible SOCs for routers and mesh devices. The spec isn't expected to take off until 2028-ish. And while we're talking about specs expected in 2028, Juniper, the analysis company, says 3GP, the organization that handles all the telecommunication standards, is expected to publish its first technical specifications for 6G wireless service in, you guessed it, 2028. with a launch of 6G service on track for 2029. Of course, launch means you get the very first bragging rights implementations and probably it'll be 2030, 2031 before 6G becomes widely available.

30:57And what you're going to get out of 6G, we don't really are able to say until they've specified all the specs, which isn't expected to happen. We also felt the same way about 5G. Yeah. Yeah.

31:08Sarah Lane: This stuff is, it's a slow rollout. But yeah, 2028 sounds like it's going to be a bang up year. Year of the spec. Year of the spec. There you go. Amazon says Kate Spade is the first retail customer to implement its AI voice assistant shopping service. Amazon says it's packaging the architecture, the starter code, and the learnings for any retailer to implement it in as little as 60 days. Do you think there's one person listening right now who's like, why is it just that one person, Kate, who gets this and doesn't realize that's the name of a brand. So it is. Yes. Yeah. The whole line. The person is actually no longer with us.

31:46Sarah Lane: But yeah, I also found that to be like, I mean, I guess Amazon's like selling a lot of Kate Spade shoes and it just felt like a good retail partner to come out of the gate with. Yeah. Maybe they have a really good relationship because of that, you know.
