iOS 26 tweaks iPhone Always On Display in a way you might not like

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-19 08:52:32

Apple’s Always On Display has been fairly consistent since it debuted on iPhone 14 Pro. With iOS 26, Apple has quietly changed how it works in a way that may not be obvious. Always On Display modes Instead of simply dimming your Lock Screen wallpaper, the system now blurs it by default. The tweak makes the clock and widgets stand out more, but it also defeats the purpose of displaying a photo if that’s what you like about the feature.

PG Auto Upgrade – Docker (and K8s) container to auto upgrade your database

ClickHouse matches PG for single-row UPDATEs and 4000 x faster for bulk UPDATEs

TL;DR · On identical hardware and data, ClickHouse matches PostgreSQL for single-row UPDATEs and is up to 4,000× faster in our tests for bulk UPDATEs. · Why it matters: Bulk updates are common in OLTP workloads, and ClickHouse’s columnar design + parallelism make them far faster. · Caveat: PostgreSQL is fully transactional by default; ClickHouse isn’t. Results compare each engine’s native execution model, not identical transaction guarantees. PostgreSQL is the most popular open-source

Astronomers Say They’ve Finally Solved the “Little Red Dots” Mystery

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-19 10:00:11

When the James Webb Space Telescope first came online in 2022, it immediately spotted something astronomers had never seen before: "little red dots" peppering the ancient expanse of deep space, originating from around when the universe was just one billion years old. Ever since, we've struggled to explain what these faint signals could be. The prevailing theory is that they're some kind of extremely compact galaxy.

Running Wayland Clients as Non-Root Users on Yocto

news.ycombinator.com Burkhard Stubert 2025-11-16 09:30:27

Many embedded Linux systems use a Wayland compositor like Weston for window management. Qt applications act as Wayland clients. Weston composes the windows of the Qt applications into a single window and displays it on a screen. I still have to find a Yocto layer that does not start Qt applications as root. This violates the cybersecurity principle that every application should only run with the least privileges possible. Let us figure out how to run Qt applications as non-root users and make ou
