Emulating an iPhone in QEMU (Part 2)

What's the plan? At the end of our previous blog post, we got PreBoard to show its UI. But we had no idea if getting SpringBoard to work would even be possible, since we didn’t have SEP emulation. Still, we wanted to see how far we could get without it. Before SpringBoard could show anything, we had plenty of issues to fix. Although the backboardd and SpringBoard processes were starting and stable, they were stuck in different places. Our strategy was to go through system logs, find suspiciou

The Pulse is a series covering insights, patterns, and trends within Big Tech and startups. Notice an interesting event or trend? Send me a message. Before we start, an important correction from last week’s The Pulse: this publication was among those to incorrectly report that defunct AI startup, Builder.ai, faked its product by hiring 700 human engineers to pretend to be an AI product called Natasha.

Google surprisingly brings back Snapseed with major 3.0 update on iPhone

9to5mac.com Abner Li 2025-09-25 05:40:00

Google today surprisingly released a major 3.0 update for Snapseed that entirely redesigns the photo editing app on iPhone and iPad. Given the lack of major updates in several years, it seemed that Google abandoned Snapseed. Since the app worked locally and has no server-side component, it seemed like the company was happy to let the beloved editor linger. The last notable update to Snapseed for iOS was in 2021, with very minor updates in 2023 and 2024. Google today released version 3.0.0 of S

‘Sunshine’ and ‘Event Horizon’ Bring Deep-Space Madness to Gruesome Heights

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-25 09:00:03

Millions of miles from Earth, a spaceship receives a distress call—so its crew changes course to investigate. Disaster follows. That’s famously the set-up for Alien, but it’s used often in sci-fi stories, including 1997’s Event Horizon and 2007’s Sunshine. Sunshine’s been in the news since director Danny Boyle revealed he’d originally hoped it would kick off a trilogy; that never happened, because like Event Horizon, it flopped at the box office.

How to Protest Safely in the Age of Surveillance

If you insist on using biometric unlocking methods to have faster access to your devices, keep in mind that some phones have an emergency function to disable these types of locks. Hold the wake button and one of the volume buttons simultaneously on an iPhone, for instance, and it will lock itself and require a passcode to unlock rather than FaceID or TouchID, even if they’re enabled. Most devices also let you take photos or record video without unlocking them first, a good way to keep your phone
