Here are the letters that let Apple and Google ignore the TikTok ban

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-12 22:06:30

More than six months after TikTok was briefly banned, we still don't know exactly what its fate in the US will be. But we do have new insight into the legal wrangling that has allowed Apple, Google and other platforms to continue to support the app. If you remember, TikTok was only "banned" for a matter of hours shortly before President Donald Trump took office in January and delayed enforcement of the law. The app's service was promptly restored January 19, 2025, but the app didn't return to A

July 01, 2025 #rust #traits #patterns Serhii PotapovJuly 01, 2025 Rust's trait system is famously powerful - and famously strict about avoiding ambiguity. One such rule is that you can't have multiple blanket implementations of the same trait that could potentially apply to the same type. What Is a Blanket Implementation?

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-13 11:24:42

For the past two years, Apple has been having a tough time in China. Just recently, the U.S. trade war and local incentives from the Chinese government really got in the way of iPhone sales.

E Ink, the company behind the highly readable displays you'll find in ereaders the world over, has created a new touchscreen trackpad for some reason. And rather than act as an extension of your laptop's screen, E Ink thinks it should be a dedicated home for AI interactions.

I'd spent an hour driving a $250,000-plus Aston Martin up the Los Angeles coast when my hunger pangs became impossible to ignore, and as I've done many times before, I asked Siri (through Apple CarPlay) to find me a taco place. But then I did something no other car on the planet allows: I asked Siri to blast the AC and make the air colder. That's because the 2025 Aston Martin DBX I drove was the first vehicle to come with Apple CarPlay Ultra, the upgraded version of the company's car software.
