A computer can now accurately fake mouth movements on video with replaced audio
This is both incredible and scary. Researchers at the University of Washington have nearly perfected a way to take audio from one source and overlay it onto another video with the movements of the lips in sync. It works well in various lighting conditions and head movements as well. I don't think I would have been able to tell the difference if I wasn't told beforehand. Bad news for real news...

Vizio speakers with built-in Google Cast for audio
I love my Sonos speakers. I like that they aren't necessarily connected via Bluetooth to my phone which means less battery drain and none of the miscellaneous sounds from my phone when streaming music. But with the recent news that Sonos laid off employees and is changing the company's direction, the onset of other Wi-Fi-enabled audio devices, especially those using Google Cast for audio, sounds quite appealing. And given the price (way below Sonos' own offerings), you really can't lose.
Vizio's latest set of speakers with Google Cast built-in look like amazing pieces of home audio to have. I want. And if that happens, my Sonos may go byebye.
