Note / 说明

Adds a full-text English RSS feed for GIGAZINE, a popular Japanese tech/culture publication. GIGAZINE has an existing Japanese RSS feed but no English equivalent in RSSHub.

Anti-crawl handling: The site is protected by Cloudflare. The route uses full Chrome sec-* headers and sequential article fetching with a 5-second delay between cache-miss requests to stay within the rate limit. Cached articles are served instantly on subsequent polls.

Adds /gigazine/en route that fetches full article content from GIGAZINE's English news listing. Uses sequential fetching with delays to respect Cloudflare rate limits; subsequent loads are served from cache. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+// Full Chrome headers reduce Cloudflare rate-limit sensitivity

Use RSSHub trueUA instead of hardcoded browser UA

This route hardcodes a Chrome UA/header bundle, which violates /workspace/RSSHub/AGENTS.md guideline 36 and makes the anti-crawler workaround brittle as those values age; once Cloudflare rules change, this route can start failing while the rest of RSSHub keeps working with centralized UA updates. Please switch to RSSHub's built-in config.trueUA path so UA maintenance stays consistent and future updates apply automatically.

+                    $$(img).attr('referrerpolicy', 'no-referrer');


Remove per-image referrerpolicy mutation in description

Setting referrerpolicy on every image conflicts with /workspace/RSSHub/AGENTS.md guideline 40 (No Referrer Policy in Routes) and duplicates behavior that RSSHub middleware already handles globally. Keeping this route-level rewrite adds unnecessary markup churn and can diverge from centralized policy behavior over time, so the attribute injection should be removed here.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 100 companies have been affected. In carrying out these operations, there have been cases where individuals residing in the U.S. operate &#39;laptop farms&#39; with a large number of dummy laptops to make it appear as if the remote workers hired by companies are working in the United States. The following is an example of a laptop farm managed by a woman in Arizona, which reportedly had more than 90 laptops in operation. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2025/07/28/north-korean-hackers-us-laptop-farm-arizona-woman/s01.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In July 2025, Kezia Wang and Jensin Wang, both residents of New Jersey, were arrested and indicted for operating such laptop farms and assisting North Korea&#39;s plans. John A. Eisenberg, Assistant Attorney General of the National Security Agency of the Department of Justice, said, &#39;These methods target American companies for theft and are designed to circumvent sanctions and fund the North Korean government&#39;s malicious programs, including weapons development. The Department of Justice, together with law enforcement agencies, private companies, and international partners, intends to thoroughly investigate and dismantle these cyber-based profit-making schemes.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20250701-dprk-it-workers-in-usa/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Department of Justice has uncovered a North Korean remote worker operation in which they infiltrated American IT companies and earned over 700 million yen - GIGAZINE&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20250701-dprk-it-workers-in-usa/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2025/07/01/dprk-it-workers-in-usa/00_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20250701-dprk-it-workers-in-usa/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to the Department of Justice, after Kejia Wang met with a former North Korean classmate who had devised the plan during a trip to China, she took charge of the US-based operation, directing five collaborators domestically, including Jenxin Wang, who managed hundreds of laptops at his home. The two defendants set up several shell companies to make their operations appear legitimate and receive profits, but in reality, the majority of the payments were sent to overseas conspirators, with the two defendants and four collaborators each receiving approximately $700,000 (approximately 110 million yen) for their respective roles.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; On April 15, 2026, the Department of Justice handed down its verdict, sentencing Kezia Wang to 108 months in prison and Jensin Wang to 92 months. In addition, the court ordered each defendant to be placed on three years of probation, to confiscate a total of $600,000 (approximately 95 million yen) paid in exchange for providing favors to North Korea, and to pay Kezia Wang $29,236.03 (approximately 4.6 million yen) in damages.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/north-korean-laptop-farms/002.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/north-korean-laptop-farms/002_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &#39;This case exposes a sophisticated scheme that exploited stolen American identities and American companies to generate millions of dollars for hostile foreign regimes. By operating a so-called &#39;notebook farm,&#39; the defendants enabled foreign agents to infiltrate American companies, access classified data, and undermine the American economy and national security. The verdict handed down reflects the gravity of these actions and our determination to hold accountable those who circumvent sanctions and foster foreign threats from within our own country,&#39; said Leah B. Foley, U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Brett Leatherman, Deputy Director of the FBI&#39;s Cyber Division, also stated, &#39;This announcement sends a clear message: American citizens who support North Korea&#39;s IT talent dispatch program and divert profits to North Korea may face FBI investigation and imprisonment. The FBI will work closely with relevant agencies to track down accomplices and hold accountable those who attempt to deceive American companies and steal the identities of ordinary citizens in order to expand North Korea&#39;s influence.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; North Korea is operating fake businesses in the United States using laptop farms, and is also carrying out operations to steal information by having American and European companies hire fake IT engineers. To counter this threat, some companies and recruiters are employing strategies such as asking applicants who appear to be from North Korea to make &#39;insulting remarks about Kim Jong-un.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260407-north-korean-worker-interview/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;A video of a job interview revealing a man to be a fake IT engineer from North Korea has gone viral.

While Brave has its own &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brave.com/ja/brave-ads/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;advertising features&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for monetization, a paid version called &#39; &lt;b&gt;Brave Origin&lt;/b&gt; &#39; has been released that completely eliminates these ads, focusing solely on privacy protection. And now, the Nightly version, an early developer build of Brave Origin, has been released.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Brave Origin Nightly Download | Brave&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brave.com/origin/download-nightly/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://brave.com/origin/download-nightly/&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/brave-origin-nightly/01.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brave.com/origin/download-nightly/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to Brave&#39;s official X (formerly Twitter) account, Brave Origin was developed in response to user requests for a &#39;minimalist version of Brave that you&#39;d pay for.&#39; Brave describes Brave Origin as &#39;a paid browser for users who don&#39;t need all of Brave&#39;s features, but still want Brave&#39;s privacy protection and ad blocker.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt; When Brave users told us they&#39;d pay for a minimalist version of our browser, we listened.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Brave Origin, now in Nightly, is a paid version of our browser for users who don&#39;t need all of Brave&#39;s features but still want its leading privacy and ad blocker: &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/3NYfyn5xbB&quot;&gt;https://t.co/3NYfyn5xbB&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; — Brave Nightly (@BraveNightly) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/BraveNightly/status/2044808472873648414?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;April 16, 2026&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Furthermore, Brave Origin is being promoted as a way to support Brave development without using Brave&#39;s existing monetization features such as VPN, cryptocurrency wallet, and &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brave.com/ja/brave-rewards/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Brave Rewards&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; .

Documents submitted in a lawsuit filed in California have revealed some of Amazon&#39;s price manipulation tactics.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Newly unsealed records reveal Amazon&#39;s price-fixing tactics, California attorney general claims | Amazon | The Guardian&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/apr/16/amazon-price-fixing-california-lawsuit&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/apr/16/amazon-price-fixing-california-lawsuit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In 2022, California Attorney General Rob Bonta &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.jetro.go.jp/biznews/2022/09/aef27ead485938d5.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;sued Amazon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; , alleging that the company had stifled competition and caused price increases through anti-competitive contractual practices that violated unfair competition laws.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to California&#39;s claims, Amazon uses automated tools to track sellers using its platform and monitor whether their prices on competing sites are lower than Amazon&#39;s. Furthermore, despite charging significantly higher fees than its competitors, Amazon allegedly demanded price reductions from sellers who were pricing higher on Amazon than their competitors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Amazon product pages feature a &#39; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://advertising.amazon.co.jp/help/GYVDGT5WNNW23LJ5&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Buy Box&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &#39; like the one shown below, from which users can add items to their cart or purchase them immediately. Amazon has penalized sellers who set higher prices on its platform than competing sites by revoking their Buy Box eligibility and moving their products to the &#39;Other Sellers&#39; section. Because Amazon holds a dominant position in online retail, being excluded from the Buy Box is a major blow to sellers. &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/amazon-price-fixing-lawsuit-reveal/img-snap1780_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Attorney General Bonta has now submitted evidence to the court, including internal emails, testimonies, and classified presentations, to support their claims. The British daily newspaper The Guardian obtained some of the evidence and examined parts that had previously been redacted.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to Mayer Handler, owner of the clothing company Leveret, Amazon removed Leveret&#39;s &#39;tiger-themed baby pajama set&#39; from the shopping cart in October 2022. This was because the price at Walmart was just 1 cent (approximately 1.6 yen) higher than the price at Amazon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In response to a question from The Guardian, Handler criticized Amazon for tracking product prices across the internet and blocking its own products. Handler pointed out that Amazon&#39;s tactics are taking away cheaper products from consumers, saying, &#39;Maybe this is capitalism, or maybe monopolies are driving up prices for consumers.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Furthermore, Terry Esbenschaud, a gardening supplies dealer in Pennsylvania, testified in October 2024 that every time he sold his products cheaper elsewhere on the internet than Amazon, he lost Amazon&#39;s Buy Box, causing his Amazon sales to plummet by 80%. The resulting economic damage was so significant that Esbenschaud had to raise the prices of his products on other e-commerce sites.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://unsplash.com/ja/%E5%86%99%E7%9C%9F/%E8%8C%B6%E8%89%B2%E3%81%A8%E9%BB%92%E3%81%AE%E8%8A%B1%E3%81%AE%E7%AE%B1-jxhM5Ni46zw&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/amazon-price-fixing-lawsuit-reveal/01_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In response to these testimonies, Amazon claims its efforts actually promote market competition and enable customers to find competitive products at lower prices. &#39;No store owner would recommend a deal that is disadvantageous to their customers. We also do not actively promote products that are not priced competitively,&#39; it said, explaining that it did not try to avoid competition through its contracts with sellers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; However, internal Amazon emails indicate that employees were aware their actions were hindering market competition. One employee wrote in an email that they were using tools to discourage competitors from selling on Temu. Another senior employee explained that Amazon&#39;s buy box suppression measures were forcing an Indiana-based home goods retailer to raise prices on other sites.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Attorney General Bonta stated in a press release, &#39;At a time when consumers are facing an economic crisis, Amazon&#39;s illegal practices of hindering competition and raising prices will not be tolerated.&#39; The trial in Attorney General Bonta&#39;s lawsuit against Amazon is scheduled to take place in January 2027.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Named after &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B6%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%BB%E3%83%95%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Rosalind Franklin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; , the biologist who contributed to the discovery of the DNA double helix structure, GPT-Rosalind aims to support biology, research, and drug discovery. It is a model that enhances understanding of chemistry, protein engineering, and genomics, and processes multi-stage workflows using scientific tools.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Introducing GPT-Rosalind for life sciences research | OpenAI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-rosalind/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-rosalind/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt; Introducing GPT-Rosalind, our frontier reasoning model built to support research across biology, drug discovery, and translational medicine. &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/PubLU0FkSv&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/PubLU0FkSv&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; — OpenAI (@OpenAI) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/OpenAI/status/2044861690911850863?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;April 16, 2026&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; GPT-Rosalind is an OpenAI AI model designed for life science researchers. It supports multi-stage research tasks such as organizing papers and external evidence, generating hypotheses, designing experiments, and analyzing data, accelerating scientists&#39; progress towards evidence-based decision-making. It is a dedicated AI designed to comprehensively support the tedious and complex processes required in life science research, such as &#39;researching large amounts of data,&#39; &#39;viewing multiple databases,&#39; &#39;formulating hypotheses,&#39; and &#39;planning the next experiment.&#39;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/03.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/03_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to OpenAI, developing a new drug in the United States takes about 10 to 15 years, with a significant amount of time spent in the initial stages, particularly target selection, hypothesis formulation, and experimental planning. OpenAI aims to streamline this initial stage by applying GPT-Rosalind, thereby making subsequent research and development smoother.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In terms of performance, it demonstrated high effectiveness in scientific workflows such as inference across various fields of biology, literature searches, interpretation of function from sequences, experimental design, and data analysis. OpenAI highlights that GPT-Rosalind scored higher than GPT-5, GPT-5.2, and GPT-5.4 in areas such as chemistry, protein understanding, genomics, and experimental design and analysis, with particularly significant improvements in experimental design and analysis and chemistry.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/01.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/01_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.00096&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;BixBench&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; , which simulates real-world &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%90%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AA%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%9E%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;bioinformatics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and data analysis, GPT-Rosalind achieved a Pass@1 score of 0.751, the highest level among publicly available models.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/02.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/02_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Furthermore, in LABBench2, which measures literature search, database use, sequence manipulation, and protocol design, the company achieved a score above GPT-5.4 in 6 out of 11 items, with particularly significant improvements observed in CloningQA, which involves designing DNA and enzyme reagents for molecular cloning from start to finish.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; To prevent biological misuse, OpenAI will roll out GPT-Rosalind in the US using a trusted access model, starting with &#39;eligible enterprise customers.&#39; Participating organizations are required to conduct legitimate scientific research with a public interest, have appropriate governance and compliance systems in place, prevent misuse, and ensure that only authorized users can access the research in a secure environment. Existing credits and tokens will not be consumed during the research preview period.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In addition, a Life Sciences research plugin is available free of charge for Codex, which connects to over 50 publicly available multi-omics databases, literature sources, and biological tools. Approved users can use it in combination with GPT-Rosalind, and general users can also use the plugin itself in conjunction with the main model.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; OpenAI positions GPT-Rosalind as the first step in its life science modeling series, and states that its future plans include improving its biochemical reasoning capabilities and expanding its support for longer-term, tool-dependent research workflows.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The Codex now includes an in-app browser, allowing you to directly specify changes to specific parts of a website. For example, below, you can specify the tagline and instruct it to &#39;make the font smaller and shorten the text.&#39;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8378.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img data-src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8378_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8378_m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The Codex handles the processing automatically.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8379.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img data-src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8379_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8379_m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; This update allows you to issue commands to web applications running on your localhost. The plan is to extend this in the future so that the Codex can control the entire browser.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆Image generation using GPT Image 1.5 is now possible.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; The Codex now includes an image generation function. For example, you can specify a webpage and instruct it to &#39;generate and embed an image at the top.&#39;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8380.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img data-src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8380_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8380_m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The image was generated using GPT Image 1.5 and embedded within the page as instructed.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8381.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img data-src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8381_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8381_m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Images can now be generated within the same workflow when creating product concepts, mockups, and other materials.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆Over 90 types of plugins released simultaneously&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; In addition to skills and apps, over 90 plugins combining AI agents with MCP servers that bridge the gap between external systems were released simultaneously. This gives Codex more ways to take action.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Installing the plugin is extremely easy and only requires a few clicks.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8383.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img data-src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8383_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8383_m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; You can use the plugin by specifying it with &#39;@&#39; in the prompt.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8384.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img data-src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8384_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8384_m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆Support for the entire software development process&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; Features such as GitHub integration, the ability to run multiple terminals, and connecting to remote development environments via SSH have been added.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The instructions were to &#39;group the most recent issues posted to this project by topic and compile them into a spreadsheet.&#39;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8385.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img data-src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8385_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8385_m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Codex retrieves data from GitHub, automatically classifies topics, and organizes them for you.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8386.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img data-src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8386_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8386_m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆ Schedule function&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; This update allows you to reuse existing conversation threads. At the same time, a scheduling feature has been added to the Codex, enabling you to continue long-term tasks that span several days or weeks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; An example prompt is provided: &#39;Check Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Notion and let me know what seems important.&#39;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8388.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img data-src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8388_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8388_m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; When prompted with &#39;Keep monitoring,&#39; a scheduled task was added to run every hour.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8389.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img data-src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8389_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/openai-codex-everything/snap8389_m.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; This update will be rolled out gradually to Codex desktop app users who are signed in with ChatGPT.&lt;br&gt;

      <title>A feature has been introduced to prevent the scam of &#39;posting malicious reviews on Google Maps and then demanding a removal fee.&#39;</title>
      <description>&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/google-maps-spam-reviews/00.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;aspect-ratio:16/9;max-width:560px;width:100%;display:inline-block;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/google-maps-spam-reviews/00_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Google Maps is home to a huge number of reviews for restaurants, service establishments, and other businesses, but sometimes malicious reviews are posted. Three features designed to prevent the posting of such malicious reviews were announced on April 16, 2026.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;New ways we&#39;re protecting businesses on Maps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/maps/new-ways-were-protecting-businesses-on-maps/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/maps/new-ways-were-protecting-businesses-on-maps/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆Feature to detect malicious reviews&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; Google cites the practice of &#39;posting false 1-star reviews and demanding money from facility managers in exchange for removing the reviews&#39; as an example of malicious reviews. The system has been updated to automatically recognize these malicious patterns and prevent malicious reviews from being published.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Additionally, if there is a surge in malicious reviews, we will temporarily suspend new review submissions and send a notification to the property manager. Furthermore, a banner indicating the temporary suspension of reviews will be displayed at the top of the property information. This protection feature is expected to be available worldwide within the next few weeks.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/google-maps-spam-reviews/01.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/google-maps-spam-reviews/01_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆Gemini detects malicious patch suggestions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; Google Maps allows users to suggest corrections to various pieces of information displayed on the map. However, despite Google prohibiting the addition of political comments and other such content to maps, information on Google Maps has sometimes been modified in a way that violates the policy, circumventing the monitoring system. Google has begun using Gemini to detect malicious modification suggestions, and it has reportedly become capable of detecting even local nuances with high accuracy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆Facility information editing and monitoring function&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; Google Maps allows users to suggest corrections to facility information, such as business hours and temporary closures. Starting in April 2026, a feature was added that allows facility managers to be emailed for confirmation before any suggested changes to business hours are applied. Emails are sent only to verified facility managers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/google-maps-spam-reviews/02.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/google-maps-spam-reviews/02_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://transparencyreport.google.com/maps-content/overview?lu=page&amp;amp;page=of1:2025&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;a report&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; released by Google, the total number of Google Maps reviews published in 2025 is projected to be 1.14 billion, with food and drink being the category with the most reviews.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/google-maps-spam-reviews/03.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/google-maps-spam-reviews/03_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 100 companies have been affected. In carrying out these operations, there have been cases where individuals residing in the U.S. operate &#39;laptop farms&#39; with a large number of dummy laptops to make it appear as if the remote workers hired by companies are working in the United States. The following is an example of a laptop farm managed by a woman in Arizona, which reportedly had more than 90 laptops in operation. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2025/07/28/north-korean-hackers-us-laptop-farm-arizona-woman/s01.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In July 2025, Kezia Wang and Jensin Wang, both residents of New Jersey, were arrested and indicted for operating such laptop farms and assisting North Korea&#39;s plans. John A. Eisenberg, Assistant Attorney General of the National Security Agency of the Department of Justice, said, &#39;These methods target American companies for theft and are designed to circumvent sanctions and fund the North Korean government&#39;s malicious programs, including weapons development. The Department of Justice, together with law enforcement agencies, private companies, and international partners, intends to thoroughly investigate and dismantle these cyber-based profit-making schemes.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20250701-dprk-it-workers-in-usa/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Department of Justice has uncovered a North Korean remote worker operation in which they infiltrated American IT companies and earned over 700 million yen - GIGAZINE&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20250701-dprk-it-workers-in-usa/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2025/07/01/dprk-it-workers-in-usa/00_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20250701-dprk-it-workers-in-usa/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to the Department of Justice, after Kejia Wang met with a former North Korean classmate who had devised the plan during a trip to China, she took charge of the US-based operation, directing five collaborators domestically, including Jenxin Wang, who managed hundreds of laptops at his home. The two defendants set up several shell companies to make their operations appear legitimate and receive profits, but in reality, the majority of the payments were sent to overseas conspirators, with the two defendants and four collaborators each receiving approximately $700,000 (approximately 110 million yen) for their respective roles.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; On April 15, 2026, the Department of Justice handed down its verdict, sentencing Kezia Wang to 108 months in prison and Jensin Wang to 92 months. In addition, the court ordered each defendant to be placed on three years of probation, to confiscate a total of $600,000 (approximately 95 million yen) paid in exchange for providing favors to North Korea, and to pay Kezia Wang $29,236.03 (approximately 4.6 million yen) in damages.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/north-korean-laptop-farms/002.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/north-korean-laptop-farms/002_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &#39;This case exposes a sophisticated scheme that exploited stolen American identities and American companies to generate millions of dollars for hostile foreign regimes. By operating a so-called &#39;notebook farm,&#39; the defendants enabled foreign agents to infiltrate American companies, access classified data, and undermine the American economy and national security. The verdict handed down reflects the gravity of these actions and our determination to hold accountable those who circumvent sanctions and foster foreign threats from within our own country,&#39; said Leah B. Foley, U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Brett Leatherman, Deputy Director of the FBI&#39;s Cyber Division, also stated, &#39;This announcement sends a clear message: American citizens who support North Korea&#39;s IT talent dispatch program and divert profits to North Korea may face FBI investigation and imprisonment. The FBI will work closely with relevant agencies to track down accomplices and hold accountable those who attempt to deceive American companies and steal the identities of ordinary citizens in order to expand North Korea&#39;s influence.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; North Korea is operating fake businesses in the United States using laptop farms, and is also carrying out operations to steal information by having American and European companies hire fake IT engineers. To counter this threat, some companies and recruiters are employing strategies such as asking applicants who appear to be from North Korea to make &#39;insulting remarks about Kim Jong-un.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260407-north-korean-worker-interview/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;A video of a job interview revealing a man to be a fake IT engineer from North Korea has gone viral.

Documents submitted in a lawsuit filed in California have revealed some of Amazon&#39;s price manipulation tactics.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Newly unsealed records reveal Amazon&#39;s price-fixing tactics, California attorney general claims | Amazon | The Guardian&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/apr/16/amazon-price-fixing-california-lawsuit&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/apr/16/amazon-price-fixing-california-lawsuit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In 2022, California Attorney General Rob Bonta &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.jetro.go.jp/biznews/2022/09/aef27ead485938d5.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;sued Amazon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; , alleging that the company had stifled competition and caused price increases through anti-competitive contractual practices that violated unfair competition laws.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to California&#39;s claims, Amazon uses automated tools to track sellers using its platform and monitor whether their prices on competing sites are lower than Amazon&#39;s. Furthermore, despite charging significantly higher fees than its competitors, Amazon allegedly demanded price reductions from sellers who were pricing higher on Amazon than their competitors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Amazon product pages feature a &#39; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://advertising.amazon.co.jp/help/GYVDGT5WNNW23LJ5&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Buy Box&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &#39; like the one shown below, from which users can add items to their cart or purchase them immediately. Amazon has penalized sellers who set higher prices on its platform than competing sites by revoking their Buy Box eligibility and moving their products to the &#39;Other Sellers&#39; section. Because Amazon holds a dominant position in online retail, being excluded from the Buy Box is a major blow to sellers. &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/amazon-price-fixing-lawsuit-reveal/img-snap1780_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Attorney General Bonta has now submitted evidence to the court, including internal emails, testimonies, and classified presentations, to support their claims. The British daily newspaper The Guardian obtained some of the evidence and examined parts that had previously been redacted.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to Mayer Handler, owner of the clothing company Leveret, Amazon removed Leveret&#39;s &#39;tiger-themed baby pajama set&#39; from the shopping cart in October 2022. This was because the price at Walmart was just 1 cent (approximately 1.6 yen) higher than the price at Amazon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In response to a question from The Guardian, Handler criticized Amazon for tracking product prices across the internet and blocking its own products. Handler pointed out that Amazon&#39;s tactics are taking away cheaper products from consumers, saying, &#39;Maybe this is capitalism, or maybe monopolies are driving up prices for consumers.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Furthermore, Terry Esbenschaud, a gardening supplies dealer in Pennsylvania, testified in October 2024 that every time he sold his products cheaper elsewhere on the internet than Amazon, he lost Amazon&#39;s Buy Box, causing his Amazon sales to plummet by 80%. The resulting economic damage was so significant that Esbenschaud had to raise the prices of his products on other e-commerce sites.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://unsplash.com/ja/%E5%86%99%E7%9C%9F/%E8%8C%B6%E8%89%B2%E3%81%A8%E9%BB%92%E3%81%AE%E8%8A%B1%E3%81%AE%E7%AE%B1-jxhM5Ni46zw&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/amazon-price-fixing-lawsuit-reveal/01_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In response to these testimonies, Amazon claims its efforts actually promote market competition and enable customers to find competitive products at lower prices. &#39;No store owner would recommend a deal that is disadvantageous to their customers. We also do not actively promote products that are not priced competitively,&#39; it said, explaining that it did not try to avoid competition through its contracts with sellers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; However, internal Amazon emails indicate that employees were aware their actions were hindering market competition. One employee wrote in an email that they were using tools to discourage competitors from selling on Temu. Another senior employee explained that Amazon&#39;s buy box suppression measures were forcing an Indiana-based home goods retailer to raise prices on other sites.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Attorney General Bonta stated in a press release, &#39;At a time when consumers are facing an economic crisis, Amazon&#39;s illegal practices of hindering competition and raising prices will not be tolerated.&#39; The trial in Attorney General Bonta&#39;s lawsuit against Amazon is scheduled to take place in January 2027.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

It supports multi-stage research tasks such as organizing papers and external evidence, generating hypotheses, designing experiments, and analyzing data, accelerating scientists&#39; progress towards evidence-based decision-making. It is a dedicated AI designed to comprehensively support the tedious and complex processes required in life science research, such as &#39;researching large amounts of data,&#39; &#39;viewing multiple databases,&#39; &#39;formulating hypotheses,&#39; and &#39;planning the next experiment.&#39;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/03.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/03_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to OpenAI, developing a new drug in the United States takes about 10 to 15 years, with a significant amount of time spent in the initial stages, particularly target selection, hypothesis formulation, and experimental planning. OpenAI aims to streamline this initial stage by applying GPT-Rosalind, thereby making subsequent research and development smoother.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In terms of performance, it demonstrated high effectiveness in scientific workflows such as inference across various fields of biology, literature searches, interpretation of function from sequences, experimental design, and data analysis. OpenAI highlights that GPT-Rosalind scored higher than GPT-5, GPT-5.2, and GPT-5.4 in areas such as chemistry, protein understanding, genomics, and experimental design and analysis, with particularly significant improvements in experimental design and analysis and chemistry.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/01.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/01_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.00096&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;BixBench&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; , which simulates real-world &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%90%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AA%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%9E%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;bioinformatics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and data analysis, GPT-Rosalind achieved a Pass@1 score of 0.751, the highest level among publicly available models.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/02.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/gpt-rosalind/02_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Furthermore, in LABBench2, which measures literature search, database use, sequence manipulation, and protocol design, the company achieved a score above GPT-5.4 in 6 out of 11 items, with particularly significant improvements observed in CloningQA, which involves designing DNA and enzyme reagents for molecular cloning from start to finish.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; To prevent biological misuse, OpenAI will roll out GPT-Rosalind in the US using a trusted access model, starting with &#39;eligible enterprise customers.&#39; Participating organizations are required to conduct legitimate scientific research with a public interest, have appropriate governance and compliance systems in place, prevent misuse, and ensure that only authorized users can access the research in a secure environment. Existing credits and tokens will not be consumed during the research preview period.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In addition, a Life Sciences research plugin is available free of charge for Codex, which connects to over 50 publicly available multi-omics databases, literature sources, and biological tools. Approved users can use it in combination with GPT-Rosalind, and general users can also use the plugin itself in conjunction with the main model.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; OpenAI positions GPT-Rosalind as the first step in its life science modeling series, and states that its future plans include improving its biochemical reasoning capabilities and expanding its support for longer-term, tool-dependent research workflows.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

It significantly surpasses its predecessor, &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260217-qwen3-5-397b-a17b/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Qwen3.5-35B-A3B,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; which was said to be &#39;equivalent to GPT-5.2,&#39; and is said to deliver performance comparable to much larger, high-density models such as Qwen3.5-27B and Gemma4-31B.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The following are benchmarks published by Qwen, showing that it outperforms Gemma4-26B-A4B and Gemma4-31B in all 12 benchmarks.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/qwen36-35b-a3b/002.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/qwen36-35b-a3b/002_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to Qwen, the Qwen3.6 series is designed with multimodal capabilities in mind from the start, and the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B exhibits perceptual and multimodal reasoning capabilities far beyond what one might expect from its scale of only about 3 billion active parameters. In most of the visual language benchmarks conducted by Qwen, the performance of the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B was reported to be equal to or better than that of Claude Sonnet 4.5. Its strengths are particularly evident in its ability to understand and describe spatial structures.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Furthermore, in a benchmark devised by engineer Simon Willison, which involved &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20250609-llms-pelicans-on-bicycles/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;drawing a pelican riding a bicycle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; , Willison reported that the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B produced a better pelican than &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260417-anthropic-claude-opus-4-7/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the Claude Opus 4.7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; . Below, the image on the left is from the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, and the image on the right is from the Claude Opus 4.7; the bicycle in the Claude Opus 4.7 appears to have a distorted frame.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/qwen36-35b-a3b/003a.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/qwen36-35b-a3b/003a_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Wilson stated, &#39;The Pelican benchmark was used as a joke, but there was a strange correlation between the quality of the Pelicans produced and the general usefulness of the models. However, it&#39;s unlikely that the lighter Qwen3.6-35B-A3B is more powerful and practical than the latest model, the Claude Opus 4.7, which Anthropic released on April 17, 2026. This benchmark simply shows that &#39;if you want an SVG illustration of a Pelican riding a bicycle, the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, which runs on a laptop, is better than the Claude Opus 4.7.&#39;&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Qwen3.6-35B-A3B features excellent agent coding capabilities and seamlessly integrates with popular third-party coding assistants such as OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Qwen Code. Instructions and scripts for connecting Qwen3.6-35B-A3B with OpenClaw are available on &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.6-35b-a3b&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the official blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; .&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Qwen3.6-35B-A3B is available as an open wait for self-hosting with &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Hugging Face&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://modelscope.cn/models/Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ModelScope&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; via &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://modelstudio.alibabacloud.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio API&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; . It can also be tried from &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://chat.qwen.ai/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Qwen Studio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; .&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Qwen stated, &#39;We will continue to expand the Qwen 3.6 open-source family and push the boundaries of what can be achieved with efficient and open models. We appreciate the feedback from the community and look forward to seeing what you build with Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B. Stay tuned for future releases!&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

By expanding its business into voice translation, DeepL will provide instant, highly accurate voice translation via API in various situations such as video conferences, face-to-face conversations, and customer service, helping teams collaborate without worrying about language barriers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The products and services included in the DeepL Voice-to-Voice suite are as follows:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;DeepL Voice for Meetings:&lt;/b&gt; Provides real-time translation functionality on platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, allowing users to speak in their native language and other participants to hear it in their native language. The DeepL Voice for Meetings feature is scheduled to launch an early access program in June 2026, and registration is open at the following page as of the time of writing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;DeepL Voice-to-Voice Early Trial Program&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.deepl.com/ja/products/voice/voice-to-voice-early-access-programme&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.deepl.com/ja/products/voice/voice-to-voice-early-access-programme&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.deepl.com/ja/products/voice/voice-to-voice-early-access-programme&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/deepl-voice-to-voice.txt/01.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.deepl.com/ja/products/voice/voice-to-voice-early-access-programme&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;DeepL Voice for Conversations (Mobile and Web):&lt;/b&gt; DeepL Voice for Conversations extends beyond mobile, providing a true multi-platform experience that can be deployed even in environments where app installation is impractical or not permitted.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;DeepL Voice for Conversations&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.deepl.com/ja/products/voice/deepl-voice-for-conversations&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.deepl.com/ja/products/voice/deepl-voice-for-conversations&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.deepl.com/ja/products/voice/deepl-voice-for-conversations&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/17/deepl-voice-to-voice.txt/03.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.deepl.com/ja/products/voice/deepl-voice-for-conversations&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Group Conversation:&lt;/b&gt; This feature enables multilingual exchange of ideas in training, coaching, workshops, and other settings by allowing participants to instantly join via QR code. This allows on-site employees to maintain a shared understanding through practical interactions with multiple speakers. Because it can be accessed from multiple devices, participants can receive real-time simultaneous voice translation. The Group Conversation feature will be available to the public from April 30, 2026.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Voice-to-Voice API:&lt;/b&gt; This allows companies to directly integrate DeepL&#39;s voice translation capabilities into internal applications and customer service tools such as contact centers. An early access program is currently available, and registration is open at the time of writing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Voice Terminology Customization:&lt;/b&gt; DeepL Voice&#39;s new quality optimization feature allows for more accurate, real-time capture, transcription, and translation of industry-specific terminology, product names, company names, and personal names, even when spoken quickly or using highly technical jargon. As part of this feature, the DeepL Translate glossary is integrated into DeepL Voice, enabling users to standardize key technical terms throughout conversations. This feature will be available to the public starting May 7, 2026.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Existing speech translation systems follow a procedure of converting speech to text, translating it, and then translating it back into speech. DeepL claims to have an advantage in translation quality based on its many years of experience working on text translation. Furthermore, DeepL explains that it aims to develop an end-to-end speech translation model that completely eliminates the step of converting to text before translation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; TechCrunch has also pointed out that &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.palabra.ai/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Palabra&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; , a venture capital firm backed by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, is developing a real-time speech translation engine designed to retain both the translated and source language audio, which could make it a direct competitor to DeepL.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Does the site only work when using this exact combination of hard-coded headers instead of RSSHub's generated headers?

Do those script, .sbn, noscript are child elements of #article .cntimage?

Not worth spending 200+ seconds on retrieving the full article for all entries since most of them fail anyways.

Yes I agree - been trying to think of a more efficient way..

      <title>Manyana, a robust architecture that forms the foundation of next-generation version control systems, leverages CRDT to excel in merging and rebasing.</title>
      <description>&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/manyana/00.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;aspect-ratio:16/9;max-width:560px;width:100%;display:inline-block;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/manyana/00_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The history of version control systems began with &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Code_Control_System&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;SCCS&lt;/a&gt; (Source Code Control System)&lt;/b&gt; in 1972, and &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Git&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is now the dominant system. Over its long history, version control systems have become increasingly convenient, but the question remains: &#39;How will they evolve in the future?&#39; The &#39; &lt;b&gt;Manyana&lt;/b&gt; &#39; project is attracting attention as a candidate for the architecture of the next generation of version control systems, offering an answer to this question.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;bramcohen/manyana&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/bramcohen/manyana&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://github.com/bramcohen/manyana&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Manyana - by Bram Cohen - Bram&#39;s Thoughts&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bramcohen.com/p/manyana&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://bramcohen.com/p/manyana&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; One of the key features of Manyana, developed by &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://substack.com/@bramcohen&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bram Cohen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; , is its use of &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_type&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;CRDT&lt;/a&gt; (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type)&lt;/b&gt; . CRDT stands for &#39;Conflict-free Replicated Data Type,&#39; and by using CRDT in a version control system, it is expected that merges will always succeed by definition. In other words, it can avoid situations where conflict resolution fails in traditional version control systems. Manyana sets a &#39;conflict&#39; flag when changes affect each other, ensuring that conflict resolution never fails and providing useful conflict information.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In traditional version control systems, when a conflict occurs, there are cases where you have to deduce &#39;what happened&#39; depending on the situation. As a clear example, let&#39;s consider a case where two people edit the following function simultaneously and then merge the results.&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;br&gt; def calculate(x):&lt;br&gt; a = x * 2&lt;br&gt; b = a + 1&lt;br&gt; return b&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;p classe=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt; Let&#39;s assume that for the above function, one person deletes the function itself, and the other person adds debug output to the function. In a traditional version control system, this would result in the following:&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;br&gt; left&lt;br&gt; =======&lt;br&gt; def calculate(x):&lt;br&gt; a = x * 2&lt;br&gt; logger.debug(f&#39;a={a}&#39;)&lt;br&gt; b = a + 1&lt;br&gt; return b&lt;br&gt; &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; right&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p classe=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt; It&#39;s difficult to instantly understand what happened just by looking at the above, but in Manyana it will be displayed as follows:&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;br&gt; &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt; begin delete left&lt;br&gt; def calculate(x):&lt;br&gt; a = x * 2&lt;br&gt; ======= begin added right&lt;br&gt; logger.debug(f&#39;a={a}&#39;)&lt;br&gt; ======= begin deleted left&lt;br&gt; b = a + 1&lt;br&gt; return b&lt;br&gt; &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; end argument&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p classe=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt; With the information above, it&#39;s immediately clear that &#39;on one hand, the entire function was deleted&#39; and &#39;on the other hand, a line of debug output was added to the function,&#39; making it easier to understand the nature of the conflict. The decision left to the worker is narrowed down to just one point: &#39;Which change should we adopt?&#39;, making conflict resolution much simpler.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The benefit of implementing CRDT in a version control system is &#39;eventual consistency.&#39; Eventual consistency means that &#39;all users will see the same data,&#39; guaranteeing that merges will never fail and that the results will always be the same regardless of the merge order. Therefore, the following benefits can be obtained in various aspects of version control:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; - &lt;b&gt;Fixed line order&lt;/b&gt; : The order of inserted code is determined and maintained by the CRDT, preventing problems that can arise from different resolution orders in different branches.&lt;br&gt; • &lt;b&gt;Conflicts are for informational purposes&lt;/b&gt; : Conflicts no longer signify a failure to resolve, but rather serve to provide users with information such as a &#39;history of each operation.&#39;&lt;br&gt; • &lt;b&gt;Structured history&lt;/b&gt; : CRDT maintains and provides a structured history of operations, ensuring that the correct results are always obtained without having to search for previous states or traverse &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%89%E5%90%91%E9%9D%9E%E5%B7%A1%E5%9B%9E%E3%82%B0%E3%83%A9%E3%83%95&quot;&gt;DAGs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; .&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/manyana/01.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/manyana/01_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In particular, the idea that Cohen is most excited about is &#39;improvements to rebasing.&#39; With traditional rebasing, when you apply your changes to the latest main commit, a fictitious history is created where the commit was made on top of the latest main commit, thus destroying the original history. This destruction of history is precisely why Git rebasing operations should, in principle, be completed within the local repository. By using CRDT, the only additional element required during rebasing is to add information about the &#39;most important ancestor commit&#39; to the DAG, so the history will not be destroyed by rebasing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; At the time of writing, Manyana is a demo version consisting of approximately 470 lines of Python code that provides minimal functionality for individual files, and is not yet a full-fledged version control system. However, it clearly demonstrates that a robust architecture, which forms the basis of a version control system that is resilient to merges and conflicts, can be built by utilizing CRDT, making Manyana a project with promising future developments.&lt;br&gt;

The larger component on the left has a button that you can press to control the media player.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4737.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4737_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; This is what it looks like from above. The bridge section is made of a highly flexible material, designed to fit snugly against the ear, ensuring comfort even when worn all day long.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4738.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4738_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; When I turned them over, I found the speaker on the bottom of the smaller component and the charging terminal on the bottom of the larger component.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4740.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4740_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Upon checking the charging case, I found that it also has charging terminals.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4741.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4741_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆I tried putting it on&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; When actually wearing them, the smaller component of the ear clip (the one with the speaker) should be on the inside of your ear, and the larger component (the one with the button) should be on the back of your ear. The smaller component is positioned similarly to how you would wear regular earphones, but because it&#39;s small, it doesn&#39;t fit snugly in your ear; instead, it sits slightly in front of your ear canal.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/00.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/00_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; This is what it looks like behind the ear. It&#39;s larger and more noticeable than regular earphones, but I didn&#39;t find it heavy or painful when wearing it. However, people with thicker ears might feel some discomfort when wearing it.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4746.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4746_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆I tried connecting it to my iPhone.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; To use the Soundcore C50i, it&#39;s recommended to install the Soundcore app on your smartphone.

The firmware update was completed in a few minutes.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/s12.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/s12_m.png&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; After the firmware update, the Soundcore C50i will restart, so please wait a few more minutes.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/s13.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/s13_m.png&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Once completed, the button at the bottom of the screen will change to a checkmark; tap it.&lt;br&gt;

Playback time is up to 7 hours on a single charge, and up to 28 hours with the charging case. It also boasts an &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://shinkudrone.com/blog/%E4%BF%9D%E8%AD%B7%E7%AD%89%E7%B4%9A%E3%80%90ip55%E3%80%91%E3%81%AF%E3%81%A9%E3%82%8C%E3%81%8F%E3%82%89%E3%81%84%E8%80%90%E3%81%88%E3%81%A6%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8C%E3%82%8B%E3%81%AE%EF%BC%9F/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;IP55&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; dust and water resistance rating.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; One of the biggest concerns with the Soundcore C50i is, &#39;How much sound leaks out when actually using it?&#39; So, I played a YouTube &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ6SRg8Woe4&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of &#39; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150705-nandaclocky/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Nandacroki,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &#39; where the alarm doesn&#39;t stop until the dog runs around and catches itself, and gradually increased the volume on my iPhone to see how long it took before the sound leakage became clearly audible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi1PPnwN07c&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Testing how much sound leaks from Anker&#39;s &#39;Soundcore C50i&#39; ear cuff-style earphones - YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;iframe class=&quot;lazyload yt_iframe&quot; width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; data-src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/mi1PPnwN07c?si=i2MWnYM0MDcg4tkx&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In the video above, when the volume drops to about half, you can hear the &#39;beep beep beep&#39; sound of the Nandacrokky. When I tested it with other videos and music, I could clearly hear the sound leakage when the iPhone&#39;s volume was about half. Even at a distance similar to a face-to-face conversation, it seems that the borderline for when the sound leakage becomes audible is above or below half volume. However, during a conversation, the sound leakage is drowned out by the voice, so unless you are playing music or videos at a very high volume, it seems unlikely that anyone will notice the sound leakage. Also, it leaks sound significantly more than canal-type or in-ear earphones, so it is definitely not suitable for use on crowded trains or similar places.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Since earphones are inserted into the ear canal, there&#39;s a clear difference in fit depending on the shape. However, with the Soundcore C50i, you simply clip them onto your ear, so the fact that they don&#39;t cause ear pain even when worn for extended periods is a significant advantage. The Soundcore C50i is recommended for people who find earphones that block the ear canal, such as canal-type or inner-ear earphones, uncomfortable, or for those who want to be able to talk or hear outside sounds while wearing earphones.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The &#39;Soundcore C50i&#39; is also available on Amazon.co.jp for ¥12,990 (tax included).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0FHVCC7LX/gigazine-22&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Amazon.co.jp: Anker Soundcore C50i (Bluetooth 6.0) [Open-ear wireless earphones/ear cuff/IPX55 waterproof rating/up to 28 hours playback/LDAC compatible/multipoint connection] Off-white: Electronics &amp;amp; Camera&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0FHVCC7LX/gigazine-22&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/01.png&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0FHVCC7LX/gigazine-22&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; You can also get the Soundcore C50i from the following giveaway article.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260402-present-spring-2026/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;GIGAZINE&#39;s Spring Giveaway Project: &#39;Answer the survey and take everything!&#39; - GIGAZINE&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260402-present-spring-2026/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/02/present-spring-2026/00_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260402-present-spring-2026/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <title>In &#39;Spider-Man: Brand New Day,&#39; there&#39;s been a lot of discussion online about whether Spider-Man has switched from his Xperia to a Galaxy phone.</title>
      <description>&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/spider-man-samsung/00.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;aspect-ratio:16/9;max-width:560px;width:100%;display:inline-block;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/spider-man-samsung/00_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In the trailer for the upcoming film &#39; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://spiderman-movie.jp/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Spider-Man: Brand New Day,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &#39; scheduled for release in the summer of 2026, the protagonist, Spider-Man aka Peter Parker, is shown using a foldable smartphone. This led to speculation online that the smartphone resembled Samsung&#39;s Galaxy Z Flip series, sparking questions like, &#39;Are they really using a Samsung smartphone in a movie produced by Sony Pictures?&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;In Spider Man: Brand New Day (2026), Peter uses a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 which costs $1100 at its cheapest. This is the reason why he is so poor. : r/shittymoviedetails&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/shittymoviedetails/comments/1rxfgz1/in_spider_man_brand_new_day_2026_peter_uses_a/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/shittymoviedetails/comments/1rxfgz1/in_spider_man_brand_new_day_2026_peter_uses_a/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Why is Spider-Man using a Z Flip instead of an Xperia?

Since Spider-Man has often been seen using an Xperia in past movies, the switch to Galaxy is noteworthy.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; There are several examples of marketing through movies, and in 2015, it was reported that Sony and Samsung approached each other about advertising in the James Bond film series.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150427-daniel-craig-sony-phone/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sony and Samsung offer hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation to James Bond to use their new products in a movie - GIGAZINE&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150427-daniel-craig-sony-phone/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2015/04/27/daniel-craig-sony-phone/00-top_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150427-daniel-craig-sony-phone/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; It&#39;s rumored that Apple, the company that makes the iPhone, has a &#39;villain ban clause&#39; that prevents villains from using its products.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20240914-apple-no-villain-clause/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;What exactly is Apple&#39;s &#39;No Villain Clause&#39;? - GIGAZINE&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20240914-apple-no-villain-clause/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/09/14/apple-no-villain-clause/00_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20240914-apple-no-villain-clause/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &#39;Spider-Man: Brand New Day&#39; is scheduled for simultaneous release in Japan and the US on July 31, 2026.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <title>Manyana, a robust architecture that forms the foundation of next-generation version control systems, leverages CRDT to excel in merging and rebasing.</title>
      <description>&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/manyana/00.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;aspect-ratio:16/9;max-width:560px;width:100%;display:inline-block;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/manyana/00_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The history of version control systems began with &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Code_Control_System&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;SCCS&lt;/a&gt; (Source Code Control System)&lt;/b&gt; in 1972, and &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Git&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is now the dominant system. Over its long history, version control systems have become increasingly convenient, but the question remains: &#39;How will they evolve in the future?&#39; The &#39; &lt;b&gt;Manyana&lt;/b&gt; &#39; project is attracting attention as a candidate for the architecture of the next generation of version control systems, offering an answer to this question.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;bramcohen/manyana&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/bramcohen/manyana&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://github.com/bramcohen/manyana&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Manyana - by Bram Cohen - Bram&#39;s Thoughts&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bramcohen.com/p/manyana&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://bramcohen.com/p/manyana&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; One of the key features of Manyana, developed by &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://substack.com/@bramcohen&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bram Cohen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; , is its use of &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_type&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;CRDT&lt;/a&gt; (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type)&lt;/b&gt; . CRDT stands for &#39;Conflict-free Replicated Data Type,&#39; and by using CRDT in a version control system, it is expected that merges will always succeed by definition. In other words, it can avoid situations where conflict resolution fails in traditional version control systems. Manyana sets a &#39;conflict&#39; flag when changes affect each other, ensuring that conflict resolution never fails and providing useful conflict information.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In traditional version control systems, when a conflict occurs, there are cases where you have to deduce &#39;what happened&#39; depending on the situation. As a clear example, let&#39;s consider a case where two people edit the following function simultaneously and then merge the results.&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;br&gt; def calculate(x):&lt;br&gt; a = x * 2&lt;br&gt; b = a + 1&lt;br&gt; return b&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;p classe=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt; Let&#39;s assume that for the above function, one person deletes the function itself, and the other person adds debug output to the function. In a traditional version control system, this would result in the following:&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;br&gt; left&lt;br&gt; =======&lt;br&gt; def calculate(x):&lt;br&gt; a = x * 2&lt;br&gt; logger.debug(f&#39;a={a}&#39;)&lt;br&gt; b = a + 1&lt;br&gt; return b&lt;br&gt; &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; right&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p classe=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt; It&#39;s difficult to instantly understand what happened just by looking at the above, but in Manyana it will be displayed as follows:&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;br&gt; &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt; begin delete left&lt;br&gt; def calculate(x):&lt;br&gt; a = x * 2&lt;br&gt; ======= begin added right&lt;br&gt; logger.debug(f&#39;a={a}&#39;)&lt;br&gt; ======= begin deleted left&lt;br&gt; b = a + 1&lt;br&gt; return b&lt;br&gt; &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; end argument&lt;br&gt; [code]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p classe=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt; With the information above, it&#39;s immediately clear that &#39;on one hand, the entire function was deleted&#39; and &#39;on the other hand, a line of debug output was added to the function,&#39; making it easier to understand the nature of the conflict. The decision left to the worker is narrowed down to just one point: &#39;Which change should we adopt?&#39;, making conflict resolution much simpler.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The benefit of implementing CRDT in a version control system is &#39;eventual consistency.&#39; Eventual consistency means that &#39;all users will see the same data,&#39; guaranteeing that merges will never fail and that the results will always be the same regardless of the merge order. Therefore, the following benefits can be obtained in various aspects of version control:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; - &lt;b&gt;Fixed line order&lt;/b&gt; : The order of inserted code is determined and maintained by the CRDT, preventing problems that can arise from different resolution orders in different branches.&lt;br&gt; • &lt;b&gt;Conflicts are for informational purposes&lt;/b&gt; : Conflicts no longer signify a failure to resolve, but rather serve to provide users with information such as a &#39;history of each operation.&#39;&lt;br&gt; • &lt;b&gt;Structured history&lt;/b&gt; : CRDT maintains and provides a structured history of operations, ensuring that the correct results are always obtained without having to search for previous states or traverse &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%89%E5%90%91%E9%9D%9E%E5%B7%A1%E5%9B%9E%E3%82%B0%E3%83%A9%E3%83%95&quot;&gt;DAGs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; .&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/manyana/01.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/manyana/01_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In particular, the idea that Cohen is most excited about is &#39;improvements to rebasing.&#39; With traditional rebasing, when you apply your changes to the latest main commit, a fictitious history is created where the commit was made on top of the latest main commit, thus destroying the original history. This destruction of history is precisely why Git rebasing operations should, in principle, be completed within the local repository. By using CRDT, the only additional element required during rebasing is to add information about the &#39;most important ancestor commit&#39; to the DAG, so the history will not be destroyed by rebasing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; At the time of writing, Manyana is a demo version consisting of approximately 470 lines of Python code that provides minimal functionality for individual files, and is not yet a full-fledged version control system. However, it clearly demonstrates that a robust architecture, which forms the basis of a version control system that is resilient to merges and conflicts, can be built by utilizing CRDT, making Manyana a project with promising future developments.&lt;br&gt;

The main body (ear clip) has a very distinctive appearance, with components about the size of a small earphone connected by a bridge.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4736.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4736_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The ear clip for the left ear is shown below. The larger component on the left has a button that you can press to control the media player.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4737.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4737_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; This is what it looks like from above. The bridge section is made of a highly flexible material, designed to fit snugly against the ear, ensuring comfort even when worn all day long.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4738.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4738_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; When I turned them over, I found the speaker on the bottom of the smaller component and the charging terminal on the bottom of the larger component.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4740.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4740_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Upon checking the charging case, I found that it also has charging terminals.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4741.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4741_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆I tried putting it on&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; When actually wearing them, the smaller component of the ear clip (the one with the speaker) should be on the inside of your ear, and the larger component (the one with the button) should be on the back of your ear. The smaller component is positioned similarly to how you would wear regular earphones, but because it&#39;s small, it doesn&#39;t fit snugly in your ear; instead, it sits slightly in front of your ear canal.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/00.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/00_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; This is what it looks like behind the ear. It&#39;s larger and more noticeable than regular earphones, but I didn&#39;t find it heavy or painful when wearing it.

Playback time is up to 7 hours on a single charge, and up to 28 hours with the charging case. It also boasts an &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://shinkudrone.com/blog/%E4%BF%9D%E8%AD%B7%E7%AD%89%E7%B4%9A%E3%80%90ip55%E3%80%91%E3%81%AF%E3%81%A9%E3%82%8C%E3%81%8F%E3%82%89%E3%81%84%E8%80%90%E3%81%88%E3%81%A6%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8C%E3%82%8B%E3%81%AE%EF%BC%9F/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;IP55&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; dust and water resistance rating.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; One of the biggest concerns with the Soundcore C50i is, &#39;How much sound leaks out when actually using it?&#39; So, I played a YouTube &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ6SRg8Woe4&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of &#39; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150705-nandaclocky/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Nandacroki,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &#39; where the alarm doesn&#39;t stop until the dog runs around and catches itself, and gradually increased the volume on my iPhone to see how long it took before the sound leakage became clearly audible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi1PPnwN07c&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Testing how much sound leaks from Anker&#39;s &#39;Soundcore C50i&#39; ear cuff-style earphones - YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;iframe class=&quot;lazyload yt_iframe&quot; width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; data-src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/mi1PPnwN07c?si=i2MWnYM0MDcg4tkx&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In the video above, when the volume drops to about half, you can hear the &#39;beep beep beep&#39; sound of the Nandacrokky. When I tested it with other videos and music, I could clearly hear the sound leakage when the iPhone&#39;s volume was about half. Even at a distance similar to a face-to-face conversation, it seems that the borderline for when the sound leakage becomes audible is above or below half volume. However, during a conversation, the sound leakage is drowned out by the voice, so unless you are playing music or videos at a very high volume, it seems unlikely that anyone will notice the sound leakage. Also, it leaks sound significantly more than canal-type or in-ear earphones, so it is definitely not suitable for use on crowded trains or similar places.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Since earphones are inserted into the ear canal, there&#39;s a clear difference in fit depending on the shape. However, with the Soundcore C50i, you simply clip them onto your ear, so the fact that they don&#39;t cause ear pain even when worn for extended periods is a significant advantage. The Soundcore C50i is recommended for people who find earphones that block the ear canal, such as canal-type or inner-ear earphones, uncomfortable, or for those who want to be able to talk or hear outside sounds while wearing earphones.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The &#39;Soundcore C50i&#39; is also available on Amazon.co.jp for ¥12,990 (tax included).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0FHVCC7LX/gigazine-22&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Amazon.co.jp: Anker Soundcore C50i (Bluetooth 6.0) [Open-ear wireless earphones/ear cuff/IPX55 waterproof rating/up to 28 hours playback/LDAC compatible/multipoint connection] Off-white: Electronics &amp;amp; Camera&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0FHVCC7LX/gigazine-22&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/01.png&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0FHVCC7LX/gigazine-22&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; You can also get the Soundcore C50i from the following giveaway article.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260402-present-spring-2026/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;GIGAZINE&#39;s Spring Giveaway Project: &#39;Answer the survey and take everything!&#39; - GIGAZINE&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260402-present-spring-2026/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/02/present-spring-2026/00_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260402-present-spring-2026/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <title>In &#39;Spider-Man: Brand New Day,&#39; there&#39;s been a lot of discussion online about whether Spider-Man has switched from his Xperia to a Galaxy phone.</title>

This led to speculation online that the smartphone resembled Samsung&#39;s Galaxy Z Flip series, sparking questions like, &#39;Are they really using a Samsung smartphone in a movie produced by Sony Pictures?&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;In Spider Man: Brand New Day (2026), Peter uses a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 which costs $1100 at its cheapest.

Since Spider-Man has often been seen using an Xperia in past movies, the switch to Galaxy is noteworthy.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; There are several examples of marketing through movies, and in 2015, it was reported that Sony and Samsung approached each other about advertising in the James Bond film series.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150427-daniel-craig-sony-phone/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sony and Samsung offer hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation to James Bond to use their new products in a movie - GIGAZINE&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150427-daniel-craig-sony-phone/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2015/04/27/daniel-craig-sony-phone/00-top_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150427-daniel-craig-sony-phone/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; It&#39;s rumored that Apple, the company that makes the iPhone, has a &#39;villain ban clause&#39; that prevents villains from using its products.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20240914-apple-no-villain-clause/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;What exactly is Apple&#39;s &#39;No Villain Clause&#39;? - GIGAZINE&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20240914-apple-no-villain-clause/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/09/14/apple-no-villain-clause/00_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20240914-apple-no-villain-clause/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &#39;Spider-Man: Brand New Day&#39; is scheduled for simultaneous release in Japan and the US on July 31, 2026.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The bridge section is made of a highly flexible material, designed to fit snugly against the ear, ensuring comfort even when worn all day long.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4738.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4738_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; When I turned them over, I found the speaker on the bottom of the smaller component and the charging terminal on the bottom of the larger component.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4740.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4740_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Upon checking the charging case, I found that it also has charging terminals.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4741.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4741_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆I tried putting it on&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; When actually wearing them, the smaller component of the ear clip (the one with the speaker) should be on the inside of your ear, and the larger component (the one with the button) should be on the back of your ear. The smaller component is positioned similarly to how you would wear regular earphones, but because it&#39;s small, it doesn&#39;t fit snugly in your ear; instead, it sits slightly in front of your ear canal.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/00.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/00_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; This is what it looks like behind the ear. It&#39;s larger and more noticeable than regular earphones, but I didn&#39;t find it heavy or painful when wearing it. However, people with thicker ears might feel some discomfort when wearing it.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4746.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/IMG_4746_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;◆I tried connecting it to my iPhone.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; To use the Soundcore C50i, it&#39;s recommended to install the Soundcore app on your smartphone.

It also boasts an &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://shinkudrone.com/blog/%E4%BF%9D%E8%AD%B7%E7%AD%89%E7%B4%9A%E3%80%90ip55%E3%80%91%E3%81%AF%E3%81%A9%E3%82%8C%E3%81%8F%E3%82%89%E3%81%84%E8%80%90%E3%81%88%E3%81%A6%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8C%E3%82%8B%E3%81%AE%EF%BC%9F/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;IP55&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; dust and water resistance rating.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; One of the biggest concerns with the Soundcore C50i is, &#39;How much sound leaks out when actually using it?&#39; So, I played a YouTube &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ6SRg8Woe4&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of &#39; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150705-nandaclocky/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Nandacroki,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &#39; where the alarm doesn&#39;t stop until the dog runs around and catches itself, and gradually increased the volume on my iPhone to see how long it took before the sound leakage became clearly audible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi1PPnwN07c&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Testing how much sound leaks from Anker&#39;s &#39;Soundcore C50i&#39; ear cuff-style earphones - YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;iframe class=&quot;lazyload yt_iframe&quot; width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; data-src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/mi1PPnwN07c?si=i2MWnYM0MDcg4tkx&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In the video above, when the volume drops to about half, you can hear the &#39;beep beep beep&#39; sound of the Nandacrokky. When I tested it with other videos and music, I could clearly hear the sound leakage when the iPhone&#39;s volume was about half. Even at a distance similar to a face-to-face conversation, it seems that the borderline for when the sound leakage becomes audible is above or below half volume. However, during a conversation, the sound leakage is drowned out by the voice, so unless you are playing music or videos at a very high volume, it seems unlikely that anyone will notice the sound leakage. Also, it leaks sound significantly more than canal-type or in-ear earphones, so it is definitely not suitable for use on crowded trains or similar places.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Since earphones are inserted into the ear canal, there&#39;s a clear difference in fit depending on the shape. However, with the Soundcore C50i, you simply clip them onto your ear, so the fact that they don&#39;t cause ear pain even when worn for extended periods is a significant advantage. The Soundcore C50i is recommended for people who find earphones that block the ear canal, such as canal-type or inner-ear earphones, uncomfortable, or for those who want to be able to talk or hear outside sounds while wearing earphones.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The &#39;Soundcore C50i&#39; is also available on Amazon.co.jp for ¥12,990 (tax included).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0FHVCC7LX/gigazine-22&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Amazon.co.jp: Anker Soundcore C50i (Bluetooth 6.0) [Open-ear wireless earphones/ear cuff/IPX55 waterproof rating/up to 28 hours playback/LDAC compatible/multipoint connection] Off-white: Electronics &amp;amp; Camera&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0FHVCC7LX/gigazine-22&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/anker-soundcore-c50i/01.png&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0FHVCC7LX/gigazine-22&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; You can also get the Soundcore C50i from the following giveaway article.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260402-present-spring-2026/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;GIGAZINE&#39;s Spring Giveaway Project: &#39;Answer the survey and take everything!&#39; - GIGAZINE&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260402-present-spring-2026/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;lazyload&quot; src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/02/present-spring-2026/00_m.jpg&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20260402-present-spring-2026/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <title>In &#39;Spider-Man: Brand New Day,&#39; there&#39;s been a lot of discussion online about whether Spider-Man has switched from his Xperia to a Galaxy phone.</title>
      <description>&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/spider-man-samsung/00.png&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;aspect-ratio:16/9;max-width:560px;width:100%;display:inline-block;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2026/04/18/spider-man-samsung/00_m.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In the trailer for the upcoming film &#39; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://spiderman-movie.jp/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Spider-Man: Brand New Day,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &#39; scheduled for release in the summer of 2026, the protagonist, Spider-Man aka Peter Parker, is shown using a foldable smartphone. This led to speculation online that the smartphone resembled Samsung&#39;s Galaxy Z Flip series, sparking questions like, &#39;Are they really using a Samsung smartphone in a movie produced by Sony Pictures?&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;In Spider Man: Brand New Day (2026), Peter uses a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 which costs $1100 at its cheapest. This is the reason why he is so poor. : r/shittymoviedetails&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/shittymoviedetails/comments/1rxfgz1/in_spider_man_brand_new_day_2026_peter_uses_a/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/shittymoviedetails/comments/1rxfgz1/in_spider_man_brand_new_day_2026_peter_uses_a/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Why is Spider-Man using a Z Flip instead of an Xperia? Is Sony stupid? : r/SonyXperia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/1ryrxr3/why_is_spiderman_using_a_z_flip_instead_of_an/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/1ryrxr3/why_is_spiderman_using_a_z_flip_instead_of_an/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Xperia Flip Phone? : r/SonyXperia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/1rx63ow/xperia_flip_phone/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/1rx63ow/xperia_flip_phone/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The trailer for &#39;Spider-Man: Brand New Day&#39; can be viewed below. A foldable smartphone appears at the beginning.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n96LS2Pfak&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;[Worldwide Premiere!] The highly anticipated new film, &#39;Spider-Man: Brand New Day&#39; trailer [Simultaneous release in Japan and the US on July 31st (Friday)!] - YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;iframe class=&quot;lazyload yt_iframe&quot; width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; data-src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/8n96LS2Pfak&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;autoplay; encrypted-media&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The appearance was brief, and it&#39;s unclear whether it&#39;s actually a Galaxy Z Flip, but internet users are excitedly assuming it is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/1ryrxr3/comment/obgiwte/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; included: &#39;Samsung must have paid a considerable amount of money for product exposure,&#39; &#39;The reason Parker is poor in the film is because he uses a Galaxy Z Flip 7 that costs at least $1,100 (approximately 175,000 yen),&#39; and &#39; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/shittymoviedetails/comments/1rxfgz1/in_spider_man_brand_new_day_2026_peter_uses_a/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Perhaps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it&#39;s because Xperia phones aren&#39;t sold in America, where the &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/1ryrxr3/comment/obguh5h/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;film&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is set.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; SamMobile, a media outlet specializing in Samsung products, pointed out that &#39;it is highly likely to be either a Galaxy Z Flip 6 or a Galaxy Z Flip 7, and judging from the prominent silver camera ring, this device &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sammobile.com/news/spider-man-doomscrolls-instagram-samsung-phone-brand-new-day-trailer/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;appears&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to be a Galaxy Z Flip 6. Since Spider-Man has often been seen using an Xperia in past movies, the switch to Galaxy is noteworthy.&#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; There are several examples of marketing through movies, and in 2015, it was reported that Sony and Samsung approached each other about advertising in the James Bond film series.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150427-daniel-craig-sony-phone/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sony and Samsung offer hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation to James Bond to use their new products in a movie - GIGAZINE&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150427-daniel-craig-sony-phone/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2015/04/27/daniel-craig-sony-phone/00-top_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20150427-daniel-craig-sony-phone/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; It&#39;s rumored that Apple, the company that makes the iPhone, has a &#39;villain ban clause&#39; that prevents villains from using its products.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20240914-apple-no-villain-clause/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;What exactly is Apple&#39;s &#39;No Villain Clause&#39;? - GIGAZINE&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20240914-apple-no-villain-clause/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/09/14/apple-no-villain-clause/00_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;lzsmall&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;no-referrer&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gigazine.net/news/20240914-apple-no-villain-clause/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &#39;Spider-Man: Brand New Day&#39; is scheduled for simultaneous release in Japan and the US on July 31, 2026.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
