Whether you’ve dreamed of posting a longer carousel post on Instagram – be it photos and videos of your dog, sharing your latest epic travel adventure, or maybe simply a monthly dump – the latest feature update from the social media giant will make your dream a little closer. 

Instagram, which is owned by Meta, announced today that the feed, carousel posts, can now contain up to 20 photos or videos in length. That’s effectively a doubling from the previous limit of 10, and while you might not use it daily, it’s handy to be able to share more if you choose to do it.

These types of gallery posts not only have a neat effect that lets you swipe through quickly using the dots under the photo but are also a great way to share more of a similar type of content in just one post. Monthly dumps – captioned “July recap” or “August so far” – have become pretty popular on the platform, and it’s likely that those who post monthly dumps will get some more mileage out of this. 

AI can mimic a human voice well enough that deepfakes can fool many people into thinking they’re hearing a person talk. Inevitably, AI voices have been exploited for automated phone calls. The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is trying to combat the more malicious versions of these attempts and has a proposal aimed at strengthening consumer protections against unwanted and illegal AI-generated robocalls.

The FCC’s plan would help define AI-generated calls as well as texts, allowing the commission to then set boundaries and rules, like mandating AI voices disclose that they are fake when calling.

Below we have all the information on how to watch Slovenia vs Denmark at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

Denmark, gold medalists in Rio and silver medalists in Tokyo, have won six in a row off the back of a physical, aggressive approach that’s not to everybody’s taste. With 47 and 44 goals respectively, there’s no arguing with the contributions of Mathias Gidsel and Simon Pytlick, but it’s safe to assume Nikolaj Jacobsen’s men won’t be in the running for any fair play plaudits.

Nine-time Olympic gold medalists Hungary have toiled their way through the tournament, and their victory over Italy was no different. When Zsolt Varga’s men failed to capitalize on Francesco Condemi’s early red card, it had looked like they were running out of road. However, they almost stole it before Italy forced a penalty shootout, in which Krisztian Manhercz and Soma Vogel came up with the goods.
