API помогает проверить, работает ли приложение на официальном, сертифицированном устройстве с установленной и не модифицированной версией Android.

Сразу скажу, что это не централизованное блокирование со стороны самой корпорации Google.

Простого способа установить приложение, которого нет в App Store, нет.Теперь примерно то же самое может случиться и с Android.

Но все же это сужает круг возможностей пользователей Android — не все из них технически подкованные.

В любом случае, для того, чтобы понять влияние новых инструментов в Android OS, нужно подождать с полгода или год.

Вчера отгремела новость о том, что легендарная «тапалка» Flappy Bird вернётся на iOS и Android в 2025-м.

Однако пытливые пользователи Twitter раскопали компромат на нынешних «владельцев» прав на игру.

Более того, выяснилось, что «официальный» аккаунт Flappy Bird в Twitter подписан на множество инфоцыган, которые рассказывают об огромных заработках с NFT.

Наконец, на самом сайте Flappy Bird есть демоверсия, которая содержит упоминания TON.

Программист Варун Бинивале скачал несколько образов игры и обнаружил, что в какой-то момент она предлагает создать криптокошелёк.

Сегодня открылись предзаказы на актуальную линейку iPhone, и если спрос на младшие модели средний, то «Прошки» расхватывают как горячие пирожки.

В особенности это касается iPhone 16 Pro Max: в американском, британском, немецком, французском и китайском Apple Store смартфон всё ещё можно предзаказать, однако получите вы его через 3−4 недели в зависимости от региона.

Стоит учесть: накануне не было новостей о том, что есть какие-то проблемы с производством смартфонов, в особенности 16 Pro Max.

Просто ажиотаж на новинки настолько высок, что, помимо лагающего сайта Apple Store, вы получите сообщение о переносе доставки на конец октября.

В таком случае если вы не попали в число счастливчиков, кот…

С 16 сентября пользователи iPad в странах Евросоюза смогут покупать приложения не только в App Store.

По их словам, влияние Apple на рынок iPadOS слишком велико, а значит, аналоги App Store должны появиться и там.

Помимо основных изменений, владельцы айпэдов в странах ЕС смогут установить браузер на альтернативном движке.

Apple также поспешила напомнить разработчикам приложений, что в случае с iPadOS будут действовать аналогичные правила размещения, что и на iOS.

Это значит, что разработчики должны будут платить компании по 0,5 евро за каждую установку, когда количество скачиваний превысит миллион, а проверкой и допуском приложений будет заниматься Apple.

Если не ввести пароль, iPhone будет блокировать часть функциональности детали.

Например, на краденом дисплее не будет работать True Tone, а на батарее — отображаться ёмкость.

Сейчас есть похожая защита от установки неродных деталей в iPhone, и её обходят перепайкой контроллеров.

Так что мало того что наказание за использование краденого сомнительно, так ещё и обход защиты может оказаться делом нехитрым.

Если ваш айфон украдут, вытащат из него дисплей и поставят в другой экземпляр, у того возможно не будет работать True Tone.

Несмотря на огромное количество запчастей, инженерам LEGO всё же пришлось установить стальную раму, диски и шины, как у оригинала.

Благодаря этому игрушечный автомобиль (хотя язык не поворачивается его таким назвать) стал достаточно прочным, чтобы выдержать вес водителя.

Впоследствии гонщик команды McLaren Ландо Норрис проехал целый круг на авто и смог разогнать его до 64 км/ч.

Из них 6134 часа было потрачено на планирование и проектирование, а ещё 2210 — на сборку P1.

В 2018 компания собрала Bugatti Chiron, и, хотя авто весило на 635 кг меньше оригинала, он смог набрать жалкие 19 км/ч, а возможность управления отсутствовала.

В отличие от GPT-4o она умеет строить цепочку рассуждений, последовательно разбирая задачу и делая выводы.

Модель оказалась хороша в том числе в подсказках по конкретным вопросам в анализе данных, редактировании текста, писательстве и программировании.

Способность модели рассуждать облегчила и обучение модели нравственным ценностями и принципам.

Их оказалось гораздо легче встроить в цепочку рассуждений, чтобы модель про них не забывала.

Бонусом появилась возможность буквально «читать мысли» o1, чтобы понять, как она приходит к тому или иному ответу.

Про S25 Ultra мы уже рассказали, а теперь пришёл черёд самой компактной модели.

S25 чуть увеличится в высоту и похудеет и по ширине, и по толщине: 146,9 × 70,4 × 7,2 мм против 147 × 70,6 x 7,6 мм у S24.

При этом внешне оба смартфона легко спутать, поскольку дизайн, судя по рендерам, практически не изменится.

Предполагается, что смартфон получит специальную версию Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, которая будет разогнана для флагманов Samsung.

Судя по практически неизменившимся размерам, ёмкость аккумулятора не изменится, оставшись на тех же 4000 мА·ч.

Звучат они лучше, чем все предшественники (не Pro).

Кроме того, форму наушников немного переработали и они сидят гораздо лучше.

Наконец-то в компании обратили внимание на микрофоны: при разговоре собеседник не услышит даже рок-группу, а вот вас очень даже.

Версия с ANC сама определит, когда выключить шумодав, чтобы не тянулись сами.

Кейс, разумеется, с беспроводной зарядкой и USB-C.Цена: $130 за версию без шумодава и $180 с шумодавом.

Обновлённые AirPods Max 2 дополнят линейку наушников.

Устройство получило разъём Type-C, новые цвета и обновлённую систему подавления шума и адаптивного аудио: устройство научилось само определять, когда стоит автоматически выключать шумодав.

Стоимость начинается от $550.

После полутора лет разработки опубликован пятый бета-выпуск операционной системы Haiku R1. Изначально проект был создан как реакция на закрытие ОС BeOS и развивался под именем OpenBeOS, но был переименован в 2004 году из-за претензий, связанных с использованием в названии торговой марки BeOS. Для оценки работы нового выпуска подготовлено несколько загрузочных Live-образов (x86, x86-64 1.4 ГБ). Исходные тексты большей части ОС Haiku распространяются под свободной лицензией MIT, исключение составляют некоторые библиотеки, медиа-кодеки и компоненты, заимствованные из других проектов.

Доступна для тестирования бета-версия среды рабочего стола Plasma 6.2.

Добавлена поддержка возможности "rendering intents", определяющей то, как цвета должны быть преобразованы из одного цветового пространства в другое.

Добавлена поддержка метода компенсации чёрной точки (BPC, Black Point Сompensation), применяемого для улучшения отображения чёрного цвета при преобразовании цветовых пространств.

Добавлена возможность сборки KWin только с поддержкой сеанса Wayland.

Добавлена возможность загрузка прогнозом погоды из сервиса NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).

Выпуск Fedora Workstation 42, намеченный на весну следующего года, предложено перевести по умолчанию на вариант инсталлятора Anaconda, в котором вместо интерфейса на основе библиотеки GTK используется web-интерфейс. Отдельно обсуждается вопрос задействования в новом инсталляторе принципиально иного интерфейса для разбивки дисковых разделов. Предложения пока не утверждены комитетом FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), отвечающим за техническую часть разработки дистрибутива Fedora (изначально переход на новый инсталлятор предлагалось выполнить в Fedora 39, но с тех пор миграция несколько раз откладывалась).

Опубликован релиз свободного звукового редактора Ardour 8.7, предназначенного для многоканальной записи, обработки и микширования звука. В Ardour предоставляется мультитрековая шкала времени, неограниченный уровень отката изменений на всем протяжении работы с файлом (даже после закрытия программы), поддержка разнообразных аппаратных интерфейсов. Программа позиционируется, как свободный аналог профессиональных средств ProTools, Nuendo, Pyramix и Sequoia. Код распространяется под лицензией GPLv2. В ближайшее время неофициальные сборки для Linux будут сформированы в формате Flatpak.

Исследователи из компании watchTowr Labs опубликовали результаты эксперимента с захватом устаревшего WHOIS-сервиса регистратора доменной зоны ".MOBI". Поводом для исследования послужило то, что регистратор поменял адрес WHOIS-сервиса, переместив его с домена whois.dotmobiregistry.net на новый хост whois.nic.mobi. При этом домен dotmobiregistry.net перестал использоваться и в декабре 2023 года был освобождён и стал доступен для регистрации.

После почти двух лет с момента прошлого значительного выпуска компания Oracle опубликовала релиз системы виртуализации VirtualBox 7.1. Готовые установочные пакеты доступны для RHEL 7/8/9, Fedora 35/36/40, openSUSE 15.3, Ubuntu 20.04/22.04/24.04, Debian 10/11/12, macOS и Windows.

Представлен выпуск P2P-платформы Radicle 1.0, нацеленной на создание децентрализованного сервиса совместной разработки и хранения кода, похожего на GitHub и GitLab, но не привязанного к конкретным серверам, не подверженного цензуре и работающего с использованием ресурсов участников P2P-сети. Релиз 1.0 ознаменовал стабилизацию протокола и готовность платформы к повсеместному использованию. Начиная с данного выпуска протокол будет изменяться с сохранением обратной совместимости, а инструментарий будут включать возможности для бесшовного обновления существующих систем до новой версии. Наработки проекта написаны на языке Rust и распространяются под лицензиями Apache 2.0 и MIT. Сборки подготовле…

Доступен релиз проекта Droidian 99, развивающего сборку на основе пакетной базы Debian GNU/Linux, предназначенную для использования на смартфонах вместо платформы Android. В качестве графического окружения предлагается оболочка Phosh, основанная на технологиях GNOME и библиотеке GTK. Системное и пользовательское окружение построены с использованием репозиториев Debian и Mobian. В отличие от дистрибутива Mobian, который нацелен на использование на платах и специализированных Linux-смартфонах, таких как PinePhone, Droidian ориентирован на установку на обычные Android-смартфоны.

Представлен релиз операционной системы Chrome OS 128, основанной на ядре Linux, системном менеджере upstart, сборочном инструментарии ebuild/portage, открытых компонентах и web-браузере Chrome 128.

Пользовательское окружение Chrome OS ограничивается web-браузером, а вместо стандартных программ задействованы web-приложения, тем не менее, Chrome OS включает в себя полноценный многооконный интерфейс, рабочий стол и панель задач.

Сборка Chrome OS 128 доступна для большинства актуальных моделей Chromebook.

Для использования на обычных компьютерах предлагается редакция Chrome OS Flex.

Основные изменения в Chrome OS 128: Реализованы группы привязок (Snap groups), формируемые при закреплении двух о…

После почти двух лет разработки опубликован выпуск операционной системы Redox 0.9, разработанной с использованием языка Rust и концепции микроядра.

Для тестирования Redox OS предложены загрузочные live-окружения для реального оборудования и системные образы для виртуальных машин (512 МБ и 1.5 ГБ), подготовленные для архитектур x86_64 и i686.

Пользовательское окружение построено на базе собственной графической оболочки Orbital и тулкита OrbTk, предоставляющего API, похожий на Flutter, React и Redux.

Операционная система развивается в соответствии с философией Unix и заимствует некоторые идеи из SeL4, Minix и Plan 9.

Через winit в Orbital реализована возможность декорирования окон на стороне …

После шести месяцев разработки опубликован релиз многоплатформенного тулкита для создания графического интерфейса пользователя - GTK 4.16.0. GTK 4 развивается в рамках процесса разработки, который пытается предоставить разработчикам приложений стабильный и поддерживаемый в течение нескольких лет API, который можно использовать не опасаясь, что каждые полгода придётся переделывать приложения из-за изменения API в очередной ветке GTK.

Разработчики ядра Linux объявили о передаче в ветку linux-next, которая будет использоваться при формировании выпуска 6.12, финальных изменений, необходимых для сборки ядра с опцией PREEMPT_RT, включающей средства для работы в режиме реального времени. После принятия изменений в основную ветку ядра режим PREEMPT_RT станет доступен для архитектур X86, ARM64 и RISC-V. Позднее будет добавлена поддержка архитектур ARM и POWERPC, для которых в ядро переданы пока не все патчи.

Компания Red Hat объявила о готовности новой редакции дистрибутива RHEL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI), специально адаптированной для выполнения задач машинного обучения и призванной упростить создание серверных решений, использующих большие языковые модели.

The DOJ published a press release earlier this week that named Rudy’s Performance Parts and its owner Aaron Rudolf for making, selling, and installing emissions defeat devices.

Rudy’s pleaded guilty and was sentenced on Tuesday, Sept. 10, to pay $2.4 million in criminal fines for conspiring to violate the CAA.

By far the largest monetary penalty comes from a civil suit that the feds filed against Rudy’s and Rudolf.

There can be no sale or transfer of intellectual property related to the defeat devices, and all marketing materials must strike any info about emissions control tampering.

All remaining aftermarket defeat devices, if any, in Rudy’s and Rudolf’s possession must be forfeited.

Goldman competitor Morgan Stanley’s research has made similar findings, projecting data center emissions globally to accumulate to 2.5bn metric tons of CO 2 equivalent by 2030.

Third-party data centersBig tech companies also rent a large portion of their data center capacity from third-party data center operators (or “colocation” data centers).

When it comes to data centers, scope 3 emissions include the carbon emitted from the construction of in-house data centers, as well as the carbon emitted during the manufacturing process of the equipment used inside those in-house data centers.

It may also include those emissions as well as the electricity-related emissions of third-party data center…

I've been using a Framework 13 laptop as my main/only computer for a little over 18 months now.

My FrameworkI bought a Framework 13 "12th Gen Intel" model.

With one flimsy exception (see below), I'm as confident carting around the Framework 13 as any laptop I've ever owned.

Bottom LineSo, if my Framework 13 vanished tomorrow then what would I do?

Probably I'd double check the "Thunderbolt: TBA" entries on the Asahi Linux wiki, and then I'd buy another Framework - probably the AMD-based Framework 13.

Got an email security alert from gmail about someone logging into an old forgotten gmail account with my actual password.

Well, that gmail account was one I hadn't used in years as I was going to replace it with my HN profile contact email, but never did.

I often create a burner gmail account for social media accounts and use the same password as the social media login.

I've changed my passwords, but figured I'd ask here to warn others of a possible security breach.

Global analytics company StatCounter shows that the Linux market share of desktop operating systems has hit an all-time high of 4.44%, up from 3.12% a year ago, and it was just 2.76% in July 2022.

The Linux operating system first breached the 4% mark in February 2024 but slumped back down to less than 3.9% in April and May.

But if we look at Linux’s previous numbers, the operating system is on track to hit a 5% market share by February 2025, if the trend continues.

Steam’s investment in the Linux operating system for the Steam Deck handheld is also driving the growth of this operating system in the gaming space.

In fact, the Steam Survey report for June 2024 showed that Linux finally broke …

No goals to chase, no notifications clamoring for your attention, no pressure to fill the silence with productivity.

It simply exists, quietly counting each second you allow to pass.

Yet the essence of Nothing isn't about fixating on your screen, though you're welcome to if you wish.

Nothing is more a concept than an app—a quiet reflection rather than a tool to be used.

There's no reward for lingering, just the peculiar pleasure of simply being.

A significant successTheir mission, certainly the most ambitious private spaceflight to date, was a total success.

Named "Polaris Dawn," the mission flew to an altitude of 1,408.1 km on the first day of the flight.

After venting the cabin's atmosphere into space, first Isaacman, and then Gillis, spent several minutes extending their bodies out of the Dragon spacecraft.

Finally, on the mission's final full day in space Saturday, the Dragon spacecraft demonstrated connectivity with a mesh of Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit.

For its Crew Dragon missions that fly to and from the International Space Station, NASA has an acceptable "loss-of-crew" probability of 1-in-270.

Earthquake scientists detected an unusual signal on monitoring stations used to detect seismic activity during September 2023.

Instead of the frequency-rich rumble typical of earthquakes, this was a monotonous hum, containing only a single vibration frequency.

Initially classified as a “USO”—an unidentified seismic object—the source of the signal was eventually traced back to a massive landslide in Greenland’s remote Dickson Fjord.

The landslide traveled down a very steep glacier in a narrow gully before plunging into a narrow, confined fjord.

The landslide in Greenland sent vibrations through the Earth, shaking the planet and generating seismic waves that traveled all around the globe with…

Starfish and some other animals (including lizards and salamanders) are capable of autonomy (shedding a limb when attacked).

Holding onElphick’s team studied how the neuropeptide known as ArSK/CCK1 facilitates autonomy in the European Starfish, Asterias rubens.

Without the injection, autotomy was seen mostly in animals that had arms that were clamped closest to the autotomy plane.

Under the skin of the autotomy plane, there is a region where bundles of collagen fibers are positioned far apart to make breakage easier.

Analyzing starfish arm tissue while it was undergoing autotomy gave the scientists a new perspective on this process.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are no strangers to time away from their families.

Both are retired captains in the US Navy, served in war zones, and are veterans of previous six-month stays on the International Space Station.

Rather than coming home on Starliner, Wilmore and Williams will return to Earth in February on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

Williams said she and Wilmore watched Starliner's departure from the space station from the lab's multi-window cupola module last week.

It turned out the suspect thrusters on Starliner worked after it departed the space station and headed for reentry on September 6.

The Biden administration has proposed rules that could make it more costly for Chinese e-commerce platforms like Shein and Temu to ship goods into the US.

And the "majority of shipments entering the United States claiming the de minimis exemption originate from several China-founded e-commerce platforms," Biden said.

Allowing this alleged abuse to continue would not just hurt US businesses like H&M and Zara that increasingly struggle to compete with platforms like Shein and Temu, Biden alleged.

That would help weed out unlawful de minimis shipments, Biden suggested.

Consumer Reports on Thursday reported the concentration of lead it found in 36 ground cinnamon products, leading to a round of startling headlines.

With that horrifying event in mind, parents are likely primed to be alarmed by any other lead findings in cinnamon.

Similar to the outlet's chocolate testing before it, the lead concentrations found in cinnamons were largely within standard ranges.

Despite the unusually low threshold, CR highlighted 12 products—mostly uncommon brands—that wouldn't make it in the Big Apple.

The other product that came in above 2 ppm was Mimi's Products cinnamon, with an average of 2.03 ppm.

On Thursday, Google made Gemini Live, its voice-based AI chatbot feature, available for free to all Android users.

That's notable because competitor OpenAI's Advanced Voice Mode feature of ChatGPT, which is similar to Gemini Live, has not yet fully shipped.

Google unveiled Gemini Live during its Pixel 9 launch event last month.

Some AI experts speculate that a wider rollout has been hampered by a lack of available computer power since the voice feature is presumably very compute-intensive.

Currently, Gemini Live supports only English, but Google has announced plans to expand language support in the future.

This marks the onset of the Sturtian glaciation and would be the first of two "snowball Earth" events during which much of the planet’s surface was covered in ice.

More than 33,000 unionized Boeing workers went on strike Friday, rejecting what they say were unfair terms of a deal the embattled aerospace company tentatively reached with their union.

Boeing workers have not walked out since 2008, when a 57-day strike cost Boeing about $1.5 billion, the Post reported.

Boeing likely anticipated that the deal wasn't good enough after Holden told The Seattle Times on Wednesday that workers would probably vote to strike.

Holden told workers that it would have been impossible to respond to everyone individually and reassured them that the tentative deal was not binding.

"A Tentative Agreement is not certain or fixed, and it's certainly not final," Holden told…

Neofetch, run from a terminal, displayed key system information alongside an ASCII-art image of the operating system or distribution running on that system.

United Airlines announced this morning that it is giving its in-flight Internet access an upgrade.

It has signed a deal with Starlink to deliver SpaceX's satellite-based service to all its aircraft, a process that will start in 2025.

The flying experience as it relates to consumer technology has come a very long way in the two-and-a-bit decades that Ars has been publishing.

After an aborted attempt in 2004, 2008 made in-flight Internet access a reality in North America, although the air-to-ground cellular-based system was slow, unreliable, and expensive.

United says it will take several years to install Starlink systems on its more than 1,000 aircraft.

Elon Musk has lambasted Australia’s government as “fascists” over proposed laws that could levy substantial fines on social media companies if they fail to comply with rules to combat the spread of disinformation and online scams.

“Elon Musk’s had more positions on free speech than the Kama Sutra,” Shorten said in an interview with Australian radio.

To help you decide which is right for you, I tested a number of the best cheap fitness trackers available today to find the ones that are worth your money.

The bands and watch face on a budget fitness tracker may not be ideal for getting some good shut-eye.

Most cheap fitness trackers also won't include a built-in GPS.

DesignYou also might find that an inexpensive fitness tracker is harder to navigate than a more advanced smartwatch.

The watch also has a unique “one tap measure” that gives you insights into your heart rate, blood oxygen levels and even a stress score based on your heart rate variability.

Apple announced a bunch of new products at the It’s Glowtime event on Sept. 9, but the rumored Apple Watch SE with a plastic shell wasn’t among them.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who first reported that the company was developing an even cheaper version of the budget watch, the plastic SE “is still moving forward.” Sources told Gurman it could arrive next year.

The Apple Watch SE last got a refresh in 2022 with the release of the second generation line.

In addition to a plastic shell, plans for the rumored upcoming watch include bolder colors that would appeal to kids, Gurman reported.

The Polaris Dawn crew safely returned to Earth early Sunday morning, bringing the historic privately funded mission to a close.

And with this mission, Gillis and Menon have now traveled farther from Earth than any women before.

Polaris reached a peak altitude of about 870 miles, which is also the farthest any humans have ventured since the Apollo program.

That included a video recorded during the mission of Gillis, an engineer and violinist, playing the violin in space.

“A new era of commercial spaceflight dawns, with much more to come,” Polaris posted on X Sunday morning.

While retired military personnel can get hearing aids through the VA, I remember my father’s journey down that path meant that his hearing aids arrived many months after the initial hearing exam.

After a two-week blackout, ESPN and other Disney-owned channels are back on DirecTV.

The Walt Disney Company and DirecTV released a joint statement on Saturday announcing that they are in the process of finalizing a new contract, and that all channels affected by their dispute have been restored.

Sam Altman has told OpenAI staff members during their weekly meeting that the company is changing its rather convoluted non-profit corporate structure next year, according to Fortune.

The CEO said OpenAI will move away from being controlled by a non-profit entity and will transition into a more traditional for-profit organization.

OpenAI started as a non-profit organization in 2015 that relied on money from donors.

The then-purely non-profit organization created a for-profit subsidiary in order to solve that problem.

The company's complex structure also allowed OpenAI's non-profit board of directors to oust Altman in 2023, because they "no longer [have] confidence in his ability to continue…

After you update to iPadOS 18, you'll be able to install the likes of the Epic Games Store.

Apple has revealed it will allow iPad users in the EU to install third-party app stores on their tablets (without having to sideload them) starting on September 16.

You'll need to install iPadOS 18, which will be available broadly on Monday, to do so.

Things are always going on over with the DC movies, particularly as they pertain to Batman.

While The Penguin is finally set to drop next week, a longer-than-expected wait for The Batman Part II (thanks to Covid and labor strikes) has some folks feeling antsy that Matt Reeves won’t get to do everything he’s apparently setting out to do.

But according to Reeves himself, folks got nothing to worry about.

That was deliberate because I wanted—whereas it wasn’t Batman’s origin story, I wanted the origin stories of these other characters.”What “other characters” could Reeves mean?

He was tight-lipped, though a recent roundtable covered by The Direct offers a tiny hint.

In just over a month, Tom Hardy will do the symbiotic boogaloo one last time in Venom: The Last Dance.

The threequel’s new trailer provided a tantalizing glimpse of recent Venom comics baddie Knull, and for fans of those comics, one thing is on their mind: did the villain’s creators get their due, financially?

After his brief appearance in Last Dance’s trailer, both Cates and Stegman tweeted about his inclusion.

The names, songs, and networks may have changed over the years, but the Power Rangers always stuck to the same playbook.

Earlier this week, the Power Rangers RPM episode “And…Action!” turned 15 years old.

Since RPM was initially meant as the final Rangers season period before Nickelodeon stepped in, the show decided to do something completely unconventional.

In the same way some people went into martial arts because of Power Rangers or Dragon Ball, it’s easy to imagine this sparking the idea of moviemaking in some kids’ minds, even briefly.

“And…Action!” isn’t a groundbreaking episode, but it’s a fascinating, endearing swing for the franchise, and what more do you need from the Power Ranger…

If you’re thinking you’d like to finally see something from that, good news, lead actor Ana de Armas says we’re not too far off from that happening.

She went so far as to call the trailer “beautiful,” and she’s “very proud” of her work on the film overall.

Talking broadly about the movie, she teased it as “really exciting. It’s dangerous, it’s sexy, it’s very John Wick.

According to the paper, the 61-year-old woman visited the doctors a few days into developing blurry vision in both eyes.

But the woman did mention that just before her symptoms began, she had recently used a store-bought hair dye that contained the chemical para-phenylenediamine.

And as luck would have it, the doctors were aware of other recent cases of middle-aged women experiencing retinopathy associated with the use of hair dye containing aromatic amines (shortened to RAHDAA).

She immediately stopped using the dye, and within four months time, her vision returned to normal, with no sign of retinal detachment.

At a check-up four years later, the woman reported that she had switched to ami…

And it looks like the show’s upcoming season is going to be equally strong in that regard.

On Thursday, Riot Games and Fortiche unveiled the full list of artists and their songs that’ll make up Arcane’s season two soundtrack.

JIDAs you can see, the range of artists is just as varied as season one’s.

A good selection overall, and it’ll be interesting to see what songs make it in the show, and in what context.

Arcane will return sometime in November, and according to Spotify (where it can be pre-saved), the season two soundtrack will hit music platforms on Saturday, November 23.

A new paper titled “Durably Reducing Conspiracy Beliefs Through Dialogues With AI,” tested AI’s ability to communicate with people who believed conspiracy theories and convince them to reconsider their worldview on a particular topic.

The study involved two experiments with 2,190 Americans who used their own words to describe a conspiracy theory they earnestly believe.

The control condition involved people talking with the AI chatbot about some topic unrelated to the conspiracy theories.

And while more study is needed on these kinds of tools, it’s interesting to see people who find these kinds of tools useful for battling misinformation.

And there’s no indication that the pace of new conspi…

The yearslong dimming and brightening pattern of the huge star Betelgeuse (don’t worry—that’s just the second time we’ve said it!)

may be due to a much tinier star orbiting the red supergiant, a team of astronomers report.

The recent team posits that a second, smaller star in a binary system with Betelgeuse could be responsible for the dissonant patterns.

“If Betelgeuse is in its core helium burning phase, it has about 100,000 years to go before a supernova.”In recent years, Betelgeuse has started acting funny.

Forget saying Betelgeuse three times—that won’t get the star to finally blow its top.

Marvel Studios has released multiple colorful posters today promoting its witchy new WandaVision spinoff series, Agatha All Along.

Plus, “we’re in ‘Season of the Witch’ and that kind of thing”—a song we’re very, very, very likely to hear in the series itself.

Next is Alice Ahn as the “protector witch,” Alice Wu-Gulliver, a more recent character in the comics.

Yet another poster appears to homage the cabin in the woods from The Evil Dead series.

Our final poster sees the main cast at the mercy of an unseen puppet master, dangling over a pit of 22 upturned swords.

Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspected gunman involved in an apparent assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida on Sunday, was charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction over 20 years ago.

“I figured he was either dead or in prison by now,” Tracy Fulk, the charging officer in the case, tells WIRED.

Local reporting from Greensboro News and Record in 2002 states that Routh was pulled over by police during a traffic stop.

Routh then drove to the business United Roofing, where he proceeded to barricade himself for three hours, the police said at the time.

Show me your hands, show me your hands.’ And he just basically pulled int…

That’s why the newest Shark robot vacuum has a mop plate that automatically detaches when you’re vacuuming.

“Is that robot vacuum humping the floor?” my husband asked, as it propelled itself into the living room from the kitchen.

However, as if in recompense, the Shark is failing at some basic robot vacuum tasks.

It’s compact at less than 18 inches high and less than 15 inches wide, and very easy to set up.

I downloaded the app and added the vacuum to it; Shark even provides a list of cute, punny names.

Last month, a Mercedes Benz EQE 350 electric vehicle caught fire in a South Korean apartment building’s underground parking garage.

It has also pushed automakers to do something they wouldn’t normally: reveal who makes the batteries inside their electric cars.

Data from the National Transportation Safety Board, the US’s independent federal investigation agency, shows that the risks of electric vehicle battery fires are low.

Because the point of a lithium-ion electric vehicle is to store energy, the fuel is always there.

Since the first Tesla hit the road in 2008, the standard electric vehicle battery has been made primarily from nickel and cobalt.

And now with the new Dyson WashG1, the company has ditched vacuum suction altogether and designed an all-in-one wet mop that slurps up debris and scrubs your floors.

Photograph: DysonDense FibersThe secret to the mopping suction of the Dyson WashG1 lies in the two highly absorbent microfiber rollers that rotate counter-clockwise to each other.

Here, Dyson has done a superb job separating the solids from the dirty water, making cleaning impressively simple.

Fill the water tank, press Go, push around your home, and dirty water is extracted from the rollers and pumped into the dirty water tank.

A nylon-bristled inner brush removes dirt and debris from the microfiber rollers, depositing it in t…

Take it from someone who records music: The world of high-end audio is often tainted with bullshit.

Once you start shopping for gear that approaches four figures, it's tough to distinguish what's good-sounding from what's simply good-looking.

Our experts have spent thousands of hours listening to music in acoustically treated home studios through many of the most-loved high-end headphones, speakers, and amps on the market.

Black holes are the enigmatic extremes of the cosmos.

But even black holes have edge cases—and those cases have their own insights to give.

In particular, the so-called surface gravity at the boundary, or event horizon, of such a black hole is zero.

But if you were to nudge a particle slightly toward the black hole’s center, it would be unable to escape.

Nevertheless, for the past 50 years, extremal black holes have served as useful models in theoretical physics.

Vibrators are probably the most talked about sex toys and one that everyone knows about.

While there was a time when vibrators were extremely recognizable—basically a vibrating dildo—a lot has changed, and many look more like works of art than something that’s going to get you off.

But while the designs have come a long way, what’s most important remains: These are sex toys that use internal motors to stimulate erogenous zones.

Most of the vibrators on this list have been tested on vulvas, phalluses, and the extensive network of erogenous zones all over the body.

The paddleboard industry has an answer to this dilemma: The hybrid inflatable SUP with a kayak seat, which is the best of both worlds.

Bote has long included a kayak seat with some of its pricier offerings, like the Bote Breeze Aero (7/10, WIRED Review) we tested last year, but the new Bote Lowrider Aero comes in a tandem option.

Photograph: BoteGet to Know the LowriderThe Bote Lowrider comes in two sizes: A 10-foot, 6-inch single-person version, with a single seat, and the 11-foot, 6-inch tandem version, which features two seats.

It also makes it a very beginner-friendly paddleboard, since you don't need insane balance to use it.

Google added digital drivers’ licenses to its Wallet platform last year, enabling Android users to store identification details on their phones.

A Google Wallet version of your passport will be accepted only at specific TSA checkpoints where digital IDs are allowed.

Meta announced it will be training its AI models off data from the users of its platforms in the UK.

In its announcement, Meta says it hopes this move will help its AI tools more accurately reflect British culture and speech.

Photograph: MyroslavaPavlyk/Getty ImagesThe sex tech industry has conditioned us to think of toys in terms of male and female, penis and vagina, but that’s reductive and inaccurate, and it contributes to a larger narrative about the relationship between genitals and gender.

The internal structures of the clitoris extend down to either side of the vagina, which is where you’ll find the G-spot—the area stimulated by toys that curve toward the front of your body.

The phallus is what’s commonly referred to as the shaft of the penis, and it includes a couple of erogenous zones.

This is a walnut-sized gland that lives between the internal structures of the penis and the rectum, and it can be reac…

Instagram might roll out a way to share comments on other Instagram posts to Threads, according to Alessandro Paluzzi, who often reverse engineers Meta’s social media apps to find coming features.

Paluzzi shared an image showing that when commenting on an Instagram post, there could be a new dropdown menu that lets users choose to share the comment only to Instagram or “also share on Threads.”Meta has made a few moves to integrate Threads with its other platforms in the past, such as showing Threads posts on Instagram or Facebook (and, later, letting users opt out of that).

Apple has hiked the price of its battery repair service for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

The company doesn’t seem to have started charging more for other battery replacements yet, but it wouldn’t be unexpected.

In 2022, Apple drove the cost of iPhone 14 battery service up by $30 to $99.

Increases for iPad, MacBook, and older iPhone battery repairs came after that, and Apple Watches followed suit later.

(One longs for the salad days of battery drama-induced $29 battery replacements!)

Last week, The Flappy Bird Foundation announced a game called Flappy Bird.

But while the group has been framing it as the triumphant return of a classic mobile game, Flappy Bird’s original developer, Dong Nguyen isn’t calling it a comeback — in fact, he says he’s not involved at all.

Gametech filed in opposition of Nguyen’s Flappy Bird trademark in 2023, spotted X user Samperson.

The Flappy Bird Foundation didn’t say in its announcement that Nguyen was involved, but it certainly leans on nostalgia as it promotes the game.

One page that seems to have been removed (and is archived here) said Flappy Bird will “fly higher than ever on Solana as it soars into web 3.0,” and invited players to “bu…

But 40 Acres frames the Freemans as people keeping in their families’ tradition of survival in a world that has never really afforded them any sense of guaranteed safety.

Because Deadwyler is so effective at delivering Hailey’s grim warnings about the danger lurking everywhere, it’s a little exasperating to watch as people make exceedingly dumb decisions that set 40 Acres’ plot into motion.

But as predictable as some of the movie’s beats are, Thorne and cinematographer Jeremy Benning excel at making 40 Acres’ action set pieces shine in ways that keep things as exciting as they are stressful to watch unfold.

Somewhere in the middle of the film, as Driver’s Cesar is speaking to camera, the screen briefly went blank.

There was a confused smattering of applause from those who thought it was all over—if only we’d been so lucky—but then, with the lights still down, a man ran onto the stage in front of the cinema screen from the wings, holding a long microphone.

...Positioning himself on one side of the stage, and now lit by a spotlight, the man then faced Driver, now back on screen, and asked him a question, as if participating in some strange pandemic-era Zoom press conference.

Driver answered, and the man then rushed off stage again.

It was so odd, and felt so completely pointless, that I didn’t k…

NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore spoke about their continued stay aboard the International Space Station during a press conference held yesterday.

The two are now fully incorporated into the ISS crew, as the Boeing Starliner spacecraft that was meant to take them home last week was instead sent back to Earth uncrewed.

NASA does a great job — the people at Nasa do a great job — of making a lot of things look easy.

Sending probes beyond the edge of our solar system; going in [and] getting samples from asteroids; humans in space.

But Wilmore said that with more time, “we could have gotten to the point, I believe, where we could have returned on Starliner.

8BitDo announced it’s taking preorders for a new mod kit that lets you retrofit a wired GameCube controller with Hall effects joysticks and Bluetooth connectivity.

The company is charging $25.98 for the kit, which it says is a simple, solderless mod.

The kit replaces your controller’s existing PCB with a drop-in board that has Hall effects joysticks and a USB-C-rechargeable 300mAh battery attached.

The catch is that you’re replacing its wired controller option, and you’ll have to pick up a separate, $25.98 8BitDo “Retro Receiver for GCN” to connect it to your GameCube.

The iPhone 16 lineup has 8GB of RAM, from the base model to the 16 Pro Max, and it’s all thanks to Apple Intelligence.

Apple VP of hardware tech Johny Srouji confirmed as much in an interview with Geekerwan, published yesterday, that 9to5Mac spotted.

Apple hadn’t previously stated how much RAM the iPhone 16 line has, but MacRumors discovered references to the 8GB number in Xcode after the phones were announced.

Apple’s new “Visual Intelligence” feature was one of the most impressive things shown at Monday’s iPhone 16 event.

It’s not hard to imagine how Visual Intelligence could help you out on a device that sees everything you see.

Visual Intelligence might be Apple’s first step toward the killer app for computer spectacles, and by starting now, Apple will potentially have years to refine the feature before it shows up in glasses.

Yes, the Vision Pro is arguably much more of a VR headset than an AR device, but it’s clearly a firs…

In June, OpenAI rival Mistral raised €600mn at a €5.8bn valuation.

Poolside draws a number of parallels with Mistral in particular, which is also building LLMs that write code.

German startup Reverion has secured $62mn as it looks to scale a mini power plant that can generate clean energy, capture CO2, and make hydrogen all in one shipping container-sized unit.

Reverion — spun-off from the Technical University of Munich in 2022 — will use the fresh funds to begin serial production of its power plants as it races to fulfill over $100mn in pre-orders signed in the last year alone.

Reversion claims this makes it a CO2 negative technology.

While some question the carbon-cutting claims of many bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) schemes, it remains the world’s only kind of carbon capture technology that also makes energy.

A Ukrainian startup forged by war is bringing counter-disinformation to the business world.

The startup surveys open-source data from social media, websites, and messaging apps.

Social media posts have spread fake reports of banks restricting withdrawals.

That could mean a counter-messaging campaign, a complaint to social media platforms, or even litigation.

As AI reduces the costs of disinformation campaigns, he expects a surge in attacks on businesses.

Tech Nation has announced the 25 startups that will participate in the second cohort of this year’s Future Fifty programme — the UK’s only accelerator that focuses on late-stage companies.

Future Fifty supports startups from the Series B to the IPO stage and beyond.

“We use mechanisms of access and growth instead of learning and validation,” Johnny Mayo, programme lead of Future Fifty told TNW.

And they need to have successfully raised Series B funding.

“While we do have mentors, coaches, and even therapists, they are a small element of the programme,” Mayo said.

For early-stage startups, entering pitch battle competitions is a cost and time-effective way to get in front of the right audiences.

This October, there are four pitch battle competitions taking place at Expand North Star in Dubai 13 – 16 October 2024.

To participate, you must be an exhibiting startup at Expand North Star 2024.

Contestants compete for the chance to win a $100,000 prize, mentoring opportunities, and the chance to gain exposure at the Expand North Star event.

Each startup is given 15 minutes to pitch and negotiate, culminating in on-the-spot cheque handovers from interested investors.

One of the most popular pastimes you may or may not have heard about is flight tracking.

Popular flight tracking websites display the trajectories of tens of thousands of flights per day across their digitised maps.

A new startup called Wingbits now wants to pay the network of enthusiasts for their services by sharing its revenues using blockchain technology.

“It’s under two seconds for 95% of all the data,” Wingårdh said.

Wingbits is also releasing custom hardware for its growing community of flight trackers — to ensure it will not fall prey to spoof or fake data.

Fashion app Depop has unveiled new AI gear from the firm’s tech wardrobe.

The second-hand marketplace can now generate an entire listing from a single photo.

All users need to do is upload their image and hit “Generate Description.”Image recognition and GenAI will then create the listing description.

Last month, TNW revealed that Depop is working with an AI startup to analyse trends.

Depop has also integrated language and vision models in the platform’s listings, search, and recommendations.

Spatium Medical, a spinoff from the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, has raised €5mn to improve laparoscopy with its smart insufflation device.

However, the use of pressurised CO2 gas comes with a series of disadvantages, especially in high pressures.

Spatium Medical’s insufflator promises a solution.

The second process is called “reciprocal insufflation.”Illustration showing how CO2 gas moves through Spatium Medical’s turbine-based device to reach the patient.

With the fresh capital, Spatium Medical plans to complete the development of its insufflation device and run clinical trials to receive certification.

A Dutch startup has made the cut for NATO’s DIANA accelerator, which aims to build tech edges over the alliance’s adversaries.

The company, named Lobster Robotics, develops underwater drones that survey the seas.

They could also deploy the robots in seabed security — a growing concern since the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines.

By 2021, the student project had evolved into Lobster Robotics.

NATO’s startup planLobster Robotics is one of 10 projects selected for Phase II of the NATO program.

Nik Storonsky founded Revolut in 2015, gradually engaging consumers with the world of neobanks.

Despite ups and downs throughout its journey, last month the startup became Europe’s most valuable private tech company reaching a valuation of $45bn.

“We are publishing best practices that I wish I had access to in the early days of Revolut,” said Storonsky, who co-wrote the playbook.

Here are the playbook’s seven main tips for driving high performance:Treat performance as a priority and focus on A-players Set a performance team.

One to two operators should manage performance processes Define a talent framework that accurately distinguishes great and good performance Standardise assessments.

“But innovation is blocked at the next stage: we are failing to translate innovation into commercialisation.”The data speaks for itself.

According to the report, merely four of the world’s top 50 tech companies are European.

Key barriers and necessary stepsAccording to Draghi, the EU faces a long list of problems that need to be solved to close the innovation gap.

“The EU’s regulatory stance towards tech companies hampers innovation,” Draghi said.

It’s even less clear whether the EU will manage to overcome, as Draghi described it, the “existential challenge” it’s currently facing.

Bitcoin’s recent price increase to $69,000, accompanied by a 25% decrease in trading volume, suggests renewed bullish sentiment.

Considering these factors, Bitcoin appears to be a compelling investment option for those seeking to capitalize on the cryptocurrency market.

Despite its volatile history, marked by significant price surges and declines, XRP remains a focal point for investors.

Although it has yet to reach those heights in the current bull market, many believe XRP is set for a significant price increase.

The recent 18% price surge, coupled with Bitcoin’s potential bull run, creates an optimistic outlook for XRP.

The next Battlefield game was again name-checked by Electronic Arts chief executive Andrew Wilson in the company’s most recent earnings call with investors.

Helldivers 2’s latest update, coming Aug. 8, brings the fire in the form of flamethrowing weapons, perfect for barbecuing extraterrestrial insects.

The new weapons look good and certainly lend a new and satisfying way to play the multiplayer shooter.

To be clear, fire weapons have been in Helldivers 2 since its February 2024 release date; this just leans further into the concept.

Arrowhead has promised these Warbond updates will come out on a regular basis, and told players they can expect them to carry a certain theme.

The last Warbond, which launched in June, was the “Viper Commandos” set of weapons and gear, which evoked action movies set in a jungle, such as Predator.

In a frightening twist, researchers have found vulnerabilities in the design of dating apps Bumble and Hinge which could allow stalkers to pinpoint victims’ locations down to two meters.

Researchers from the KU Leuven University in Belgium found six dating apps had the same issue after analyzing 15 of the most popular.

The history of Apple Watch SEApple introduced the Apple Watch SE in 2020, alongside the Apple Watch Series 6.

However, with the Apple Watch Series 6 starting at $399, it was still a pretty good deal, especially compared to the archaic Apple Watch Series 3 that Apple still sold for $199.

Although we didn’t see the new Apple Watch SE at Apple’s September event alongside the Apple Watch Series 10, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that it’s still in development, potentially for next year.

The next Apple Watch SE will likely get a newer processor as well, up from the S8 chip shared with the Apple Watch Series 8.

There is one major distinction in the iPhone case market this year for the launch of Apple’s series 16 handsets, Camera Control.

The OtterBox Lumen Series supports MagSafe and Camera Control, “using a sapphire crystal paired with a conductive layer to communicate finger movements to the Camera Control.” It’s almost word for word the same as the official Apple and Beats buttons.

Two other third-party brands that are also offering Camera Control button cases are SUPCASE and i-Blason.

Well, they either need to have a cutout or a proper Camera Control button cover specifically designed for Apple’s new hardware.

Battery replacements on the entry-level iPhone 16 will still have the lower $99 repair fee, and replacements under AppleCare+ will still be free.

Last year, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus featured 6GB of RAM, while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max featured 8GB of RAM.

This year, all four iPhone 16 models can run Apple Intelligence—partially because they all have 8GB of RAM.
