Amazon’s Alexa Gets Smarter: AI-Powered Alexa+ Launches in Australia

on
Amazon has officially launched Alexa+ in Australia, bringing its generative AI-powered virtual assistant to local Echo devices. Moving beyond basic voice triggers, setting kitchen timers, and answering surface-level queries, Alexa+ represents a complete overhaul aimed at making smart home interaction far more natural, intuitive, and action-oriented. Powered by Amazon Bedrock and advanced large language models (LLMs), Alexa+ is designed to behave less like a command-line interface and more like a conversational assistant.  * Natural Conversation & Context Tracking: You no longer need to speak in rigid, robotic phrases. Alexa+ can process mid-sentence pauses, stumbles, and multi-step requests without requiring a repeated wake word for every follow-up question.  * Localised Australian Personality: Tailored specifically for Aussie households, the local engineering and linguistics teams trained Alexa+ to understand Aussie slang, idioms (from "arvo" to "snags...

Android 14 beta 1 - UpsidedownCake for Pixel 6/Pro

on

Android 14 is out for pixel devices in beta form, today I'll be showing you how to install and root the pixel 6 pro

The easiest way to upgrade is to use android flash tool

Only 'wipe' and 'force flash all partitions' options should be checked


Note: it's best to do a full wipe, and also, have an unlocked bootloader

If you upgrade to the beta with a locked bootloader, there will be no way to return to a stable android 13 build and you'll be stuck with the beta until the official release of android 14



Extract the zip file and inside will be another zip, extract it and send the boot.img to your pixel 6 pro

Download magisk app 


Open magisk, and tap install > select and patch a file > select the boot.img file 

It will be in 'downloads' folder in the internal storage, send it back to your PC's desktop


You'll also need the latest platform tools

Unzip it to somewhere like "C:\platform-tools"

I'm using windows terminal 

Right-click on the patched boot image and copy the path of the files location 


Reboot to bootloader 

.\adb devices 

Allow adb access

.\adb reboot bootloader

Then flash the magisk patched boot image 

.\fastboot flash boot "path_to_the_patched_boot.img"

.\fastboot reboot
