BMW says CarPlay Ultra is ‘not so exciting,’ disputes CarPlay popularity

CarPlay Ultra officially launched earlier this year, but one of the automakers who has so far said “no” to supporting Apple’s system—BMW—has just explained the reasoning for their decision. CarPlay’s future at BMW doesn’t appear very bright At a recent press event, BMW’s Senior Vice President of UI/UX Development, Stephan Durach, didn’t have very positive things to say about CarPlay Ultra. Steven Paul writes at BMWBLOG: “If you take a look at it, what I saw so far, it’s not so exciting,” Dur

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be Mario's next crack at the big screen

Nintendo just dropped a trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the sequel to the immensely popular The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

UK defence secretary John Healey has outlined new plans to send thousands of interceptor missiles to Ukraine every month, with the Ukrainian-developed UAV to be shared with the UK to help in the fight against Russia. Speaking at DSEI, Healey outlined ‘Project Octopus’, a new partnership between the UK and Ukraine. Under the project, Ukraine would share technology developed for a new interceptor drone that had proved highly effective against Iranian-made, Russian-deployed Shahed one-way attack d

Many Hard LeetCode Problems Are Easy Constraint Problems

September 10, 2025 Many Hard Leetcode Problems are Easy Constraint Problems Use the right tool for the job. In my first interview out of college I was asked the change counter problem: Given a set of coin denominations, find the minimum number of coins required to make change for a given number. IE for USA coinage and 37 cents, the minimum number is four (quarter, dime, 2 pennies). I implemented the simple greedy algorithm and immediately fell into the trap of the question: the greedy algor

Nintendo's Back in VR With a New Virtual Boy, Coming Next Year for Switch

I keep wondering when Nintendo will get back into VR -- I asked Shigeru Miyamoto about it earlier this year, in fact. Well, Nintendo's going back to VR, sort of: the Virtual Boy is back, baby. Retro games and a Virtual Boy accessory for the Switch and Switch 2 are coming Feb. 17 next year. The Virtual Boy was one of several things the company announced for Mario's 40th anniversary in a Direct livestream Friday, including new remasters of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. The failed 1996 stereoscopic

Mario is getting a new sports game for the Switch 2, a compilation of some of the best games in the series, a new Yoshi game and a new movie.

For this anniversary, Nintendo is do

Is the iPhone Air a Klutz's Worst Nightmare?

Maybe I'm just getting bent out of shape, but the new iPhone Air seems like it would be my worst nightmare. The slim and trim version of the brand new iPhone 17 was the star of Apple's "awe dropping" September event, with Apple bragging they created a model that's only 5.6 mm thick, about the size of three stacked credit cards. But I have to ask: Did anyone really ask for a super-thin iPhone? Apple has loaded up the iPhone Air with better battery life and faster processing power via the A19 Pro

Small, affordable, efficient: A lot to like about the 2026 Nissan Leaf

Nissan provided flights from Austin to San Diego and then to Washington, DC, and accommodation so Ars could drive the Nissan Leaf. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. SAN DIEGO—The original Nissan Leaf was a car with a mission. Long before Elon Musk set his sights on Tesla selling vast numbers of electric vehicles to the masses, then-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn wanted Nissan to shift half a million Leafs a year in the early 2010s. That didn't quite come to pass, but by 2020, it had sold its

New pathway engineered into plants lets them suck up more CO₂

Lots of people are excited about the idea of using plants to help us draw down some of the excess carbon dioxide we've been pumping into the atmosphere. It would be nice to think that we could reforest our way out of the mess we're creating, but recent studies have indicated there's simply not enough productive land for this to work out. One alternative might be to get plants to take up carbon dioxide more efficiently. Unfortunately, the enzyme that incorporates carbon dioxide into photosynthes

Over three decades later, Nintendo remembers the Virtual Boy exists

Even as Nintendo has endlessly mined its classic consoles for nostalgic re-releases in recent decades, the company has seemed to completely ignore the existence of the Virtual Boy—its abortive 1990s dip into the world of early virtual reality. That's finally set to change next February with Nintendo's first-ever official re-release of Virtual Boy games—at least for players who invest $100 in a required Virtual Boy-shaped Switch dock (or a cheaper cardboard holder) to make them work. Virtual Boy

I Wasn’t Sure I Wanted Anthropic to Pay Me for My Books—I Do Now

A billion dollars isn’t what it used to be—but it still focuses the mind. At least it did for me when I heard that the AI company Anthropic agreed to an at least $1.5 billion settlement for authors and publishers whose books were used to train an early version of its large language model, Claude. This came after a judge issued a summary judgement that it had pirated the books it used. The proposed agreement—which is still under scrutiny by the wary judge—would reportedly grant authors a minimum

Nintendo Drops Surprise Trailer for New Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Movie, which made more than $1.3 billion worldwide in 2023, animation studio Illumination and Nintendo are releasing a sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, in April 2026. Nintendo dropped a teaser trailer during its Direct presentation on Friday.

Mastodon rolls out quote posts with protections to prevent ‘dunking’

Mastodon, an open source, decentralized alternative to X, is rolling out a somewhat controversial feature by adding quote posts, which will launch next week. The feature, which allows a user to quote someone else’s post and re-share it with their own response or commentary, has contributed to a culture of “dunking” on X, where users often deride other people by responding with snark or insulting humor. To address this concern, Mastodon says it’s implementing quote posts with safety controls. T

How to Make Legacy Databases AI-Ready

A significant roadblock organizations face when taking advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is a legacy database. ITP.net reports that nearly 90 percent of businesses are hindered by legacy technologies, and approximately 62 billion data and analytics work hours are lost annually due to their inefficiencies. Organizations frequently grapple with legacy system issues, including security risks, increased costs, poor data accessibility, and slow AI model training. To

Apple sold me on iPhone Air with just three words

I always buy an iPhone Pro, but this year I opted for iPhone Air instead, and three words from Apple’s presentation—“power of Pro”—sum up why. iPhone Air is ultra-thin but has the “power of Pro” I’ve been excited about the iPhone Air since the first rumors emerged last year. Based on early reporting, I quickly proclaimed: “Air won’t be the best iPhone, but it will be the future.” I knew there would be battery and camera drawbacks. But I always expected the iPhone Air’s battery would be “good
