According to a report from Wired , Meta has been quietly installing facial recognition in its Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta smart glasses for the last few months. Internally called "NameTag", the feature, if activated, will use AI to identify people captured by Ray-Ban Meta's camera, alert the wearer when it recognizes someone, and store faceprints on users' phones. How Meta's "NameTag" works The software has not been switched on, but if it is, it will use Meta's AI app to transform images of anyone photographed with Meta glasses into a biometric faceprint, and check against a database of faceprints stored locally on the user's Meta AI mobile app. If it finds a match, the user will be notified.

In a press release today, the company revealed that its "Circle Deal Days" will take place from June 23 to June 26, which happen to be the exact dates Amazon has staked out for its own major annual sale. Here is everything you need to know about Target's upcoming sale. What is Target Circle Deal Days? Circle Deal Days is Target’s new name for its biggest sales of the year. In 2025, its sales (held in July and October, again at the same time as a pair of Amazon events) were called Circle Week , but starting with this spring's sale (which happened around the same time as Amazon's Big Spring Sale ), it seems Target has pivoted to calling the event "Circle Deal Days."

After integrating some built-in features, harnessing the power of Perplexity Computer's background processing, and adding the Comet AI browser to the mix, you can turn Perplexity from yet another AI service into a fully fledged research assistant to help you get things done quickly. Set Perplexity as your default search engine for faster access Credit: Khamosh Pathak While Perplexity can now do extensive research, create mini-apps, and automate tasks, Perplexity's biggest advantage is being a search engine alternative to Google Search, one that is ...

Venmo is among the most widely used peer-to-peer payment platforms, used for everything from splitting bills to making purchases from merchants both small and large. The app has a number of built-in features that make it easier to manage expenses, collect funds, and keep your data private and money safe along the way, but they aren't always obvious. Here are 10 tips and tricks you can use to get the most out of Venmo. Make your Friends list private to protect your account from scammers By default, Venmo makes your friends list public, which means it is visible to anyone logged into Venmo.

To hide this list, go to Me > Settings > Privacy > Friends List and tap Private . You can also hide your profile from others' lists using the toggle on this same screen. Update your privacy settings to hide bo...
