macOS 26 preview: Spotlight's time to shine

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-17 11:17:00

I've learned not to expect much from macOS updates — not through sheer cynicism, but from the obvious reality that Apple pays far more attention to iOS and iPadOS than its desktop platform. I get it. macOS is a thing of the past, while smartphones and tablets are Apple's profitable present and future. But still, I think Mac users deserve more than just widgets, or the ability to merely mirror their iPhones (a feature that's not only genuinely useful, but also cements how crucial iPhones are to A

The S25 Ultra is more expensive to make than the S24 Ultra, and it’s thanks to this part

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-18 16:04:31

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A new report reveals that the Galaxy S25 Ultra costs a little more to make than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung reportedly spent an estimated 21% more on the phone’s processor. The report also found that camera, casing, and RF costs were lower than last year’s phone. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra launched way back in January, and it maintains the same $1,299 price tag as last year’s phone. However, a report suggests that the latest Ultra phone costs more to

macOS Tahoe: Reports of FireWire’s death not greatly exaggerated

How dead is FireWire support in macOS Tahoe 26? As dead as the iPod, as far as the Mac is concerned, which is at least a little sad. Stephen Hackett checked. In classic 512 Pixels fashion, he’s conjured together a real world demonstration using a battle-tested FireWire 800 cable-connected drive, two Thunderbolt adapters including a Thunderbolt 2 to 3 dongle, and a Mac. Woof. The result? A drive that correctly appeared as several volumes on macOS Sequoia just looks like an adapter to nowhere on

How often is the query plan optimal?

The basic promise of a query optimizer is that it picks the “optimal” query plan. But there’s a catch - the plan selection relies on cost estimates, calculated from selectivity estimates and cost of basic resources (I/O, CPU, …). So the question is, how often do we actually pick the “fastest” plan? And the truth is we actually make mistakes quite often.
