Sam Altman backs teens’ startup, Google unveils the Pixel 8 and TikTok tests an ad-free tier Manish writes that Induced AI, founded this year, lets businesses input their back-office tasks in plain English and converts the instructions to pseudo-code in real time. Google unveils new hardware: This week was Google’s annual hardware event, where the search and consumer tech giant showed off what it’s been working on. Christine wrote up a thorough roundup of the news, which included updates on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel Fold, Android 14, Pixel Buds, Google Assistant, Bard, Pixel Watch 2 and other goodies. Hands on with the Pixel 8 Pro: Darrell took the newly unveiled Pixel 8 Pro for a whirl, and he liked what he saw. While very similar to last year’s model (the Pixel 7 Pro), Darrell felt that the improved cameras, brighter screen and enhanced AI-powered features made it enough of an upgrade to (potentially) warrant a purchase — minus the underutilized temperature sensor. Stay tuned for his full review.

Leaky defence ‘isn’t good enough’ and ‘scars’ grow from throwing away leads – It’s all going wrong for Manchester United in Europe Manchester United's domestic form has certainly shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, but that's far from the case in Europe. Erik ten Hag's side have once again dropped points from a winning position as they drew 3-3 with Galatasaray in the Champions League, a damaging result in their bid to reach the last 16. 4 United were once again the victims of their own demise Credit: Getty Goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes fired them into a two-goal lead within 18 minutes before Chelsea loanee Hakim Ziyech struck back. Scott McTominay scored what he thought would have been a crucial third shortly after the break but United failed to hold on.

Leaky defence ‘isn’t good enough’ and ‘scars’ grow from throwing away leads – It’s all going wrong for Manchester United in Europe Manchester United's domestic form has certainly shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, but that's far from the case in Europe. Erik ten Hag's side have once again dropped points from a winning position as they drew 3-3 with Galatasaray in the Champions League, a damaging result in their bid to reach the last 16. 4 United were once again the victims of their own demise Credit: Getty Goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes fired them into a two-goal lead within 18 minutes before Chelsea loanee Hakim Ziyech struck back. Scott McTominay scored what he thought would have been a crucial third shortly after the break but United failed to hold on. Another free-kick from Ziyech caught Andre Onana off guard once again and a strong strike from Kerem Akturkoglu levelled the scoring. United now have to beat Bayern Munich and hope Galatasaray draw with FC Copenhagen on the final matchday to progress, and it's the third time in the Champions League this season that they have been in a winning position and then failed to emerge victorious.

"But those two free-kicks... you can't score those. They're easy saves and he's cost his team. "If Onana doesn't make those two mistakes, I think United go on to win 4-1. "He's so laid back on the ball that he can't switch on, he's late to dive for the free-kicks." 4 United now face a huge task in their hope of reaching the last 16 Credit: AFP United's 12 goals in the group stage is the fifth highest tally out of any club but their defensive woes have been their downfall, and former defender Rio Ferdinand cites a lack of balance as to why. The 2007/08 Champions League winner with Man United said: "I think they've got to look at themselves. "You can't go into a Champions League campaign and score nine goals in three away games and have one point at the end of it. I think that shows you that there's a lack of balance in the team at the moment.

Manchester United face Galatasaray with high hopes but bad memories It is 30 years since Manchester United’s most famous trip to Istanbul with Champions League elimination on the line. Galatasaray created an unwelcome hell that Cerberus would have been proud of and a night of sin ended with Alex Ferguson’s side being dumped out of Europe. United, realistically, required a win to progress after drawing 3‑3 in the first leg of the second‑round tie at Old Trafford but the atmosphere in Turkey subdued the visitors and the second leg stuttered to a goalless draw. Eric Cantona was sent off late on for his frustrations with the referee and the home team’s addiction to timewasting. There was a post-match melee in the tunnel involving the United squad and riot police as the trip ended like it began – with intimidation. Many of United’s team froze, unable to deal with the ferocious and vociferous atmosphere they faced. The match on Wednesday is not a knockout game but in truth the scenario is not much different.
