New Missile for Truck-Based Himars Launchers Has China in Its Sights

DARWIN, Australia—The truck-based missile launchers known as Himars have transformed the battlefield in Ukraine, helping Kyiv blunt Russia's advance due to their mobility, ability to hide and the precision rockets they can fire.
Now, the decades-old High Mobility Artillery Rocket System is getting an upgrade that could be crucial in another potential conflict—one with China.

South Korea industry minister still concerned about US tariff impact on exporters

SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's industry minister said on Monday that the country managed to avoid the worst-case scenario by clinching a U.S. tariff deal, but concerns remained over how the profitability of exporters would be affected by a 15% tariff rate. Industry minister Kim Jung-kwan made the comments at a roundtable meeting with business groups and academics. "There are concerns that the unprecedented 15% tariff will have a significant impact on the profitability of companies exporting to the U.S., especially small and mid-sized companies, compared to local U.S. companies," Kim said in his opening remarks. Under its deal with U.S. President Donald Trump, South Korea also agreed on a $350 billion investment package, including $200 billion in strategic industries such as semiconductors. The rest was earmarked for the U.S. shipbuilding industry. Kim said that the government would continue discussions with the U.S. to work on the specifics of the investment package so it would benefit the country's economy and companies. There is no written agreement yet on the deal between Seoul and Washington, and more follow-up discussions were needed on the investment fund's structure among other details, South Korean officials have said. Regardless of the tariff deal, South Korea will seek a long-term strategy in the face of a new normal era where nationalism is expanding in the global trade environment, Industry Minister Kim said.

One UI 8 is adding a powerful new Voice Captioning feature, but there's a catch

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has introduced a new Voice Captioning feature in One UI 8. It's part of Samsung's Galaxy AI suite and goes beyond Live Captions to translate audio, summarize it, and help save the captioned text and audio file. The catch is that the feature isn't available officially yet, so you'll have to download an APK to access it. Samsung has added a new feature called Voice Captioning to its suite of Galaxy AI tools on One UI 8. It allows users to convert speech to text in real time, whether it's from a video, call, or live conversation. What makes it more powerful than Samsung's existing Live Captions feature is its ability to also translate speech into different languages and summarize what was said. While the Live Captions in One UI only transcribes spoken words in the same language, Voice Captioning offers real-time translation of the captions across multiple languages, just like the Live Captions feature on Pixel phones with Live Translate enabled. Moreover, you also get summaries of the captioned media or conversations, along with the ability to save text and audio. The feature was spotted by GalaxyTechie on X, who confirmed that it's officially only available in China for now. However, users can manually install the APK to try it on their Galaxy phones running One UI 8 or One UI 7. Once you install the APK, you'll need to add the Voice Captioning shortcut to your Quick Settings panel and allow necessary permissions. You'll also need to choose supported languages for translations. We tested the APK on our Galaxy Z Fold 7 running One UI 8. After installing the app, we were able to add the Voice Captioning shortcut in the Quick Settings panel, but the app kept stopping unexpectedly. Reports on Reddit also say it doesn't work on beta versions of One UI 8, but some users have had success using it on One UI 8 and One UI 7. If you want to try Voice Captioning before it officially rolls out, you can install the APK, but be aware that it might not work properly on all devices. Otherwise, it might be best to wait for Samsung to release it globally. Follow
