Those new rules meant some PCs that were only six or seven years old would be effectively abandoned, no longer eligible for security updates, and unable to upgrade to the newest OS version.

How To Bring Back Oddly Shaped App Icons in macOS 26 Tahoe June 11, 2025 macOS 26 Tahoe replaces the oddly shaped app icons that once brought joy and personality to the Dock with the familiar squircle icons from iOS. Here's what that looks like. The lovely Things icon now sits awkwardly on a glass background 😢 I strongly dislike this change. Part of the Mac’s soul was in its expressive, varied app icons, a case of character over conformity. Fortunately, there's a way to bring back the perso

The curse of Toumaï: an ancient skull and a bitter feud over humanity's origins

news.ycombinator.com Scott Sayare 2026-03-20 16:50:08

On a late-summer day in 2001, at the University of Poitiers in west-central France, the palaeontologist Michel Brunet summoned his colleagues into a classroom to examine an unusual skull. Brunet had just returned from Chad, and brought with him an extremely ancient cranium. It had been distorted by the aeons spent beneath what is now the Djurab desert; a crust of black mineral deposits left it looking charred and slightly malevolent. It sat on a table. “What is this thing?” Brunet wondered aloud

iPadOS 26 arguably brings the biggest update to the iPad ever seen, turning it into something much more Mac-like in both UI and capabilities.
