CRISPR offers new hope for treating diabetes

news.ycombinator.com Javier Carbajal 2025-10-05 07:45:28

Crispr gene-editing technology has demonstrated its revolutionary potential in recent years: It has been used to treat rare diseases, to adapt crops to withstand the extremes of climate change, or even to change the color of a spider’s web. But the greatest hope is that this technology will help find a cure for a global disease, such as diabetes. A new study points in that direction.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR YouTuber JerryRigEverything has conducted a teardown of the Pixel 10 Pro XL. The teardown reveals just how easy it would be to repair the flagship phone. Google made the battery and display especially easy to remove. As other brands continue to make their smartphones increasingly difficult to repair, it appears Google has gone the opposite direction with the Pixel 10. The Pixel 10 Pro XL has now been fully disassembled in a new teardown video. This vi

When Is the Earliest Day You Can Get an iPhone 17?

Now that we know all the details about the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and the new iPhone Air, it's time to ask the most important question: when can we get them into our hands? Preorders for all of this year's iPhone models begin Friday at 5 a.m. PT.

Tonverk is Elektron’s new polyphonic sample mangler and groovebox

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-10-05 20:36:45

Elektron has built a cult-like following over the years with its unique and, at times, esoteric take on electronic musical instruments. On paper, Tonverk is a seemingly over-powered sampler that continues that tradition. It’s the rare piece of hardware capable of creating multisampled instruments on its own. It turns a single sample track into a nesting doll of multiple samples. And it’s loaded with an absolutely absurd amount of routing and audio processing features. Tonverk is certainly capabl

The iPhone 17 looks great, but I’d still choose the Pixel 10 over it

Robert Triggs / Android Authority At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about the iPhone 17. To me, all of the leaks pointed towards another year of the same old, same old. But then, Apple unveiled its base-level flagship, and it had some tricks up its sleeve. It gave the base iPhone 17 a 120Hz refresh rate, an updated chipset, and doubled its base storage — not to mention a 48MP ultrawide camera. And you know what? Those are all significant upgrades.
