Apple is introducing sign language interpretation for a handful of its original films, starting with Being Heumann on November 13 and extending to F1, Greyhound and Way of the Warrior Kid. Viewers need iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS or visionOS 27.2 (or supported third-party devices) and must enable the feature in Apple TV app settings, where an interpreter appears as an overlay in the bottom right of the screen.
A QR code hides its destination until you have already opened it. susQR is a free web tool that checks the link first, and it is worth keeping one tap away.
Google has broadened availability of Gemini 4 Carbon, its advanced AI model, after initially limiting it to select cybersecurity firms in late October. Carbon is now available through Google AI Studio, Gemini for business, and for $100/month Google AI Ultra subscribers via the Gemini app, AI Mode in Search, and the Antigravity coding platform. Google says Carbon excels at complex, multi-step tasks like scientific research and vulnerability discovery, while the earlier Gemini 4 Argon remains better suited for routine coding work.
An agent is a language model given tools and a loop. That single design choice explains both why agents can finish real work and why they fail in ways a chatbot never could.
Apple announced that Apple TV will offer Sign Language Interpretation as a toggleable accessibility setting, starting Friday with the documentary 'Being Heumann' and extending to 'F1' with ASL and BSL support. The feature embeds a human interpreter in the corner of the screen rather than offering a separate Deaf-specific version, and is shipping with iOS 27.2, with more titles like 'Way of the Warrior Kid' and 'Greyhound' planned later this year.
Quishing works because a QR code gives you nothing to judge before you commit. Here is what the scams look like in practice and the habits that defuse them.
Amazon is discounting a 2026 15-inch MacBook Air configuration with Apple's M5 chip, 24GB of unified memory, and a 1TB SSD to its lowest price since June. The laptop features a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, MagSafe charging, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 66.5Wh battery in a fanless, 3.3-pound design.
A new router upgrades the link between your devices and the router. Almost nothing people complain about lives on that link, which is why the box rarely delivers the numbers on it.
Google introduced two new tensor processing units, TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max, expanding its eighth-generation chip lineup launched in April. TPU 8tx, co-designed with AMD, is built for confidential training and inference, embedding security at the hardware level to protect data and model weights during use. TPU 8i Max combines two TPU 8i inference chips into one package, doubling memory, processing power and bandwidth.
N-able took its cloud-hosted N-Central offering offline to patch a wave of vulnerabilities publicly disclosed on GitHub by researcher Ben Bales, who called the flaw set Able2Shell. The company also urged customers running self-hosted N-Central deployments to shut them down, warning the published exploits could let attackers steal credentials, create admin accounts, or gain root access.
Smartphones continuously monitor signal strength, speed, latency and packet delivery to decide in real time whether to use Wi-Fi or mobile data. This automatic switching is designed to prevent dropped calls and buffering, but it can also trigger disruptive mid-session handoffs, such as during a FaceTime call. Common triggers include weak Wi-Fi signals, Wi-Fi networks with no real internet access, and certain device settings.
Amazon is selling the black JBL Live 680NC (2026) headphones for $79, down $81 from their $159.95 list price, a 51% cut that marks an all-time low. The headphones only launched in March, and they feature True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0, LDAC support, Bluetooth 6.0 with LE Audio and Auracast, multipoint pairing, and up to 80 hours of battery life with ANC off.
