Tesla Robotaxi surpassed Waymo in Texas’s automated vehicle registry, recording 1,302 authorized vehicles versus Waymo’s 1,297 as of November 10, 2026. Tesla’s fleet now includes 729 Model Ys and 573 Cybercabs, following a recent addition of 20 Model Ys. Waymo’s roster is dominated by Jaguar I‑PACE and Zeekr‑based Ojai minivans. The registry reflects regulatory capacity rather than active ride volume, but signals Tesla’s rapid expansion beyond Austin into San Antonio and Dallas.

A deleted ACTRA Toronto listing titled “Mega Man Legends — New Media” suggests Capcom is developing a new project in the franchise, potentially a game, film, or TV series. The brief entry, removed after screenshots were captured, set a 2026 production window from September 14 to December 1, with in‑house casting.

CD Projekt Red used AI voice‑cloning to restore Polish actor Jacek Rozenek’s Geralt voice for the new Witcher 3: Songs of the Past expansion. After a 2019 stroke altered Rozenek’s voice, the studio partnered with Respeecher, a Ukrainian AI firm, to train a model on his original recordings. The synthetic voice was approved by Rozenek and integrated into the game, while English lines remained unchanged. The project highlights ethical AI use with explicit consent and addresses voice consistency challenges in post‑release [...]

Binance has warned iPhone users that an iOS vulnerability, dubbed worse_query, can let malicious apps read local files from other apps, exposing seed phrases, private keys, and login credentials. The flaw affects iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2, and researchers say it remains unpatched even in iOS 27.2.1 and 27.3 beta. Binance urges users to update devices and take precautionary steps while Apple has yet to release a fix.

A recent Google Voice update (version 2026.11.01.1014278023) contains code hints that RCS support may soon be added, though the feature is not yet active.

The update also includes new strings for media handling, but no direct RCS capabilities are live. Google has long promoted RCS, and Voice’s lack of support has limited its usefulness for business and consumer [...]

On November 11, 1966, NASA launched Gemini 12 from Kennedy Space Center, the final mission of the Gemini program. Commander Jim Lovell and pilot Buzz Aldrin orbited Earth for four days, performing three successful spacewalks and docking with an unpiloted Agena booster. The mission refined spacewalk techniques, introducing handrails and foot restraints that later proved essential for Apollo lunar missions. Gemini 12 also tested a computer‑controlled reentry, landing the crew within three miles of their recovery ship. Both astronauts later joined [...]

Anyon Technologies and Q‑CTRL announced a partnership to embed Q‑CTRL’s Boulder Opal control software into Anyon’s modular superconducting quantum processors, which are coupled to NVIDIA GPUs. The integration automates device bring‑up, qubit frequency mapping, and gate recalibration, removing the need for dedicated physicists to manually tune hardware. The combined system presents the quantum processor as an on‑demand accelerator alongside classical clusters, aiming to reduce operating costs and increase availability for enterprise data‑center users. The announcement was released [...]
