Researchers from American tech giant Google have created an AI that can generate minutes-long musical pieces from text prompts, and can even transform a whistled or hummed melody into other instruments.
Google has already announced software workarounds after the US International Trade Commission ruled that it was infringing on Sonos' patents, including the "need to adjust each speaker individually instead of using the group volume controller," and that users will no longer be able to adjust the volume of a speaker group with their phone's volume rocker.
This shift is attributed to "a recent court judgement," which you can read everything about here. When the patent ruling was announced, Google told that the ITC had certified non-infringing designs. However, Sonos cautioned that in order to comply, Google could have to "degrade or delete product functionality," which appears to be the case. Given that Google has 60 days to bring its devices into conformity, we didn't expect it to happen this quickly.
The modifications appear to be a significant reduction to Google's multi-room audio capability, which allows you to synchronize...

Google Maps is introducing new features targeted at minimizing its customers' carbon footprint. These include environmentally friendly routing, light guidance for bikers, and bike and scooter sharing information, all of which can assist commuters in making greener choices.
