9to5mac.com Abner Li 2025-08-22 17:18:58

Only a few Google services offer Apple Watch clients, with Google Calendar unexpectedly becoming the fourth app today. Google Calendar for Apple Watch is a simple application that shows a week’s worth of events and Google Tasks. There’s just a simple list view with the current day and date listed in the top-right corner. Each appointment or task gets its own color-coded card with the time at the top followed by the name and location. A tap lets you see more details. You’re prompted to “Open C

As Redmond explains in recent advisory updates, this bug affects Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems in environments with quality update deferral policies that enable admins to delay update installation on managed devices.

‘Foundation’ Returns With Its Best Season Yet

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-08-22 21:00:48

Foundation is not a show that lends itself to casual viewing. Its nuances and details, not to mention its constantly shifting settings, mean you must pay close attention to understand what’s happening. It’s also not really a show you can decide to start watching midway through, something to consider ahead of its third season premiere. But the rewards are worth it: it’s wildly entertaining—thanks to its writing, layered world-building, and performances—and while it’s a show that deals with very

Use keyword-only arguments in Python dataclasses

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-23 04:45:36

Python dataclasses are a really nice feature for constructing classes that primarily hold or work with data. They can be a good alternative to using dictionaries, since they allow you to add methods, dynamic properties, and subclasses. They can also be a good alternative to building your own class by hand, since they don’t need a custom __init__() that reassigns attributes and provide methods like __eq__() out of the box.

We need to talk about data integrity. Narrowly, the term refers to ensuring that data isn’t tampered with, either in transit or in storage. Manipulating account balances in bank databases, removing entries from criminal records, and murder by removing notations about allergies from medical records are all integrity attacks.
