September 18, 2025 After updating to iOS 26, I will add my voice to the chorus of dismay: this thing makes my phone run like shit! I recognize that mine isn’t the latest and greatest, but it’s only four years old — an iPhone 13 mini — and the pre­vious iOS ran perfectly: snappy and practical. I hope Apple can (literally) smooth things out. I realize there’s always an under­cur­rent to these releases of “maybe you should get a new phone … ” but in this case the per­for­mance hit feels either (1

NASA Mission to Map Sun’s Protective Bubble Could Help Better Predict Dangerous Space Weather

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-24 01:38:43

The Sun is an energetic star, constantly radiating energy and pumping streams of charged particles out into space. And while this solar wind can be dangerous in itself, without it, Earth and all the other members of our planetary system would be at constant risk of threats from outer space. Our host star creates a protective bubble called the heliosphere that extends far beyond the orbit of Neptune, shielding the planets from the interstellar medium. Yet though we may owe our existence to this b

Liquid Glass dark mode is giving iOS users vertigo

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-25 21:47:35

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR iOS 26 is out now for iPhone users, and many have been reporting problems with Liquid Glass dark mode icons looking crooked. The system renders these icons with a highlight around the edge, and at the wrong angle, an illusion can make them appear tilted. In motion, the effect should be far less noticeable, but screenshots can still look very off. There’s plenty of ribbing back-and-forth, some of it good-natured, some of it not, between Android and iOS us

I told our staff reporter Kyle Barr—an all-round consumer tech guru, mind you—to look at my home screen and tell me that my icons were tilting slightly to the left, like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. “I don’t see it,” he said, trying to convince me there was no slanting.
