9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-09 01:44:48

With iOS 26, developers are getting a new API that allows third-party apps to discover and connect nearby devices over Wi-Fi, without needing an internet connection. Here’s how it’ll work. Wi-Fi Aware As observed by iHelpBR, the core of this news boils down to Wi-Fi Aware, which will allow nearby devices to find each other and create a direct peer-to-peer connection over Wi-Fi, even when they’re not o

The golden Trump Phone is almost certainly not made in the US

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-07 21:45:36

Not content with a real estate empire and the presidency of the United States, the Trump family is wading into the phone wars like it's 2011 with a shiny gold monstrosity called the T1, the marketing of which leans extensively on the narrowest idea of patriotism. Beyond the immediate question — why do this, like, at all? — the T1 invites a question that's perhaps easier to interrogate: How can any modern smartphone claim to be made in the US?

Ask HN: How can we keep (part of) the web human?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-09 04:57:22

Any ideas for how we can keep the web (or at least part of it) human? It feels like every time I do a web search, more and more of the results are AI generated nonsense. I'm worried that it's going to become much more difficult to find the human-generated content. How can we keep a part of the web human? Any ideas?

A shark scientist reflects on Jaws at 50

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-09 05:50:32

If you've been in the ocean, there's been a shark not that far from you, and it knew you were there, and you probably had no idea it was there and had a pleasant day in the water. The sharks that do bite people, they take a little bite and they go, what is that? And swim away. That can be real bad if it hits a major artery or if you're far from shore. Again, I don't want to minimize the real harm. But it is not a shark hunting you because it has a taste for human flesh. They don't have hands. Th
