Google's 'Sabrina' Android TV dongle spotted on Canadian database

It has been rumoured that Google is developing a new Android TV dongle with the codename Sabrina. It was recently spotted on the US' FCC site. And now, it's been seen on Canada's certification site, suggesting the launch is imminent. The devices with codenames GZRNL and G9N9N are said to be the TV dongle and possibly its remote control, respectively.

An earlier leak reports the TV dongle will run on an Amlogic S905X2 processor, which uses four ARM Cortex-A53 cores and an ARM Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. It will supposedly support up to 4K videos, HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision standards. It is also expected to support Auto Low-Latency Mode and Stadia gaming.

A new software update coming to the Tesla Autopilot feature will allow the cars to recognize speed limit signs with its cameras and act accordingly. With this new feature, your Tesla car should stick to the limit. Simultaneously, the update also brings a new feature where a chime can be heard when the traffic light turns green while you're at an intersection. If there's a car ahead of you, the chime will wait for that vehicle to move before it chimes. The update is rolling out now, but you might have to wait a bit before it reaches your electric car.

YouTube tests out picture-in-picture mode on iOS

YouTube has finally brought picture-in-picture to iOS, sort of. The app is testing out the feature on a few users. But, at the moment, it's just limited to YouTube Premium users. When you have it enabled, it works the same with other apps that support picture-in-picture. You can play a video and then close the app to continue watching the clip on a smaller window. Google hasn't said when the feature will roll out to all its iOS users.
