iOS 26 solves a pesky CarPlay annoyance

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2026-01-11 06:34:11

iOS 26 brings major changes to CarPlay, including a new Liquid Glass design and support for widgets. There’s also a small change that addresses a years-long feature request for many CarPlay users: the ability to disable CarPlay screenshots. For years, you’ve been able to take a screenshot of your CarPlay display by simply taking a screenshot on your iPhone. This feature can also be quite frustrating when your iPhone is connected to CarPlay and you only want to take a screenshot of your iPhone’

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are some of the best Android phones available today, thanks to their responsive and feature-rich software. But most Samsung phones -- especially the flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Z Flip 7 -- come with over-the-top features that you might not use daily.

If you own a 3D printer, you've got hard plastics covered. But what if you want to make something soft or squishy, like grip pads or a gadget enclosure?

China’s Newest Pair of Smart Glasses Are Meta’s Biggest Threat Yet

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-01-11 08:00:08

It’s official: Alibaba is entering the smart glasses game. After rumors that percolated late last week, Alibaba unveiled its official plans to put out frames that look awfully similar to Meta’s Ray-Bans, but with a few key advantages that could help them blow way past U.S. competition. The smart glasses, called Quark AI, are actually a lot more similar to Meta’s Ray-Bans than I expected. For one, they do not feature a display of any kind and instead focus more on here-and-now features like call

Galaxy S26 Ultra’s chipset info spotted in One UI code, and it’s not surprising

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A new report has confirmed that Samsung will continue to rely on Qualcomm for its next Ultra smartphone. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is confirmed to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, based on evidence found in the device’s firmware. This does not rule out the existence of an S26 Ultra powered by an Exynos 2600 or a Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, despite lean chances of any of that happening.

Fed up with brands that use corn syrup and skim milk, this mother developed her own ‘clean’ baby formula

When Esther Hallam welcomed her daughter, Nara, into the world, she faced the challenge of searching for trustworthy brands that offered high-quality, organic infant formula in the U.S. Despite being available for nearly 160 years, the quality of infant formula options in the U.S. is still lacking, she believes.

M4 MacBook Pro vs M4 MacBook Air: What $500 extra really gets you
