Now’s a great time for Apple to bring back this long-removed iMac feature

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-24 14:46:00

A while ago, Apple used to include a software feature with macOS on older iMac models. It was called Target Display Mode, and it allowed you to turn an iMac into an external display once your iMac was too dated to be a usable computer. The company got rid of it with the introduction of the 5K iMac due to technical limitations at the time – though said limitations no longer pose a challenge. As mentioned, Apple previously got rid of the feature due to technical limitations. After the company int

Spacing Over Cards

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-24 07:49:11

This post is a rationalisation of “I don’t like cards”. I say that in most cases where cards are used, they don’t need to be used. Specifically, they take space, they let you skip gestalt principles and be lazy and undisciplined, and being so easy to implement they are often used by developers. To multiply the effect, you can put a card into a card, and it seems so hard not to do so. We recognise patterns. This is known for quite some time, specifically Wertheimer in 1923 wrote the paper that e

People Still Spending on Tech Despite Red Flags in July Report

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-24 11:13:03

U.S. consumers continued to open their wallets in July, a new study from the Bureau of Economic Analysis showed on Friday, underscoring the resilience of household demand even as inflation held above the Federal Reserve’s target. That doesn’t mean that they didn’t wince while doing it. The Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, the personal-consumption expenditures price index, rose 0.2% on the month and 2.6% from a year earlier.

FTC chair warns Google about Gmail’s ‘partisan’ spam filters

I want to ditch my Kindle, but one feature keeps stopping me

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I love my Kindle, but it isn’t always within arm’s reach. Like a lot of readers, I don’t just use one device; I use whichever one fits my context. I often read on an eReader, but via the Kindle app, I’m also highly likely to finish a chapter on my phone in the grocery store or listen to an epilogue in the car. That’s where Whispersync comes in.

Earth models can predict the planet’s future but not their own

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-24 10:00:12

In the 1960s, meteorologist Edward Lorenz was running weather simulations on an early computer system when he realized that a small rounding difference led to extremely divergent weather predictions. He later called this idea the butterfly effect to communicate that small changes in initial conditions, like a butterfly flapping its wings in Nepal, could produce wildly different outcomes, like rain in New York. But better understanding those initial conditions and how the biological world couple

Momentum for space development is growing on a global scale. The rocket company SpaceX, led by CEO Elon Musk, has been carrying out numerous missions since putting its partially reusable Falcon 9 rocket into service. The company now boasts the highest launch frequency in the world, and this has helped boost the number of rocket launches worldwide to 254 last year.
