If you're listening to music or a podcast and want to change the volume without unlocking your iPhone, then you probably press the buttons on the side of your phone. While the buttons increase or decrease your volume a set amount, they could leave you choosing between a volume that is slightly too loud or a bit too quiet.

wired.com Justin Ling 2026-03-08 13:00:00

When I ask our tour guide, a floor manager, if he worries about breathing it in, he says he doesn't. "We do a good job of cleaning it up," he says, adding that the bags of dust that are vacuumed up are sold off, and the wastewater is filtered. But I’m concerned.

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-08 11:45:16

OpenAI TL;DR A blog post announcing OpenAI’s $6.5B acquisition of Jony Ive’s hardware startup “io” has been taken down due to a court order stemming from a trademark complaint by a company called iyO. OpenAI clarified that despite speculation, the partnership with Ive is still ongoing, and it’s exploring options regarding the name dispute. iyO, which already sells an AI-powered “audio computer,” claims the “io” name infringes on their trademark.
