Apple introduced its Emoji Game on July 17, otherwise known as World Emoji Day. But when Apple released iOS 18.2 in December, that update brought the popular puzzle game Sudoku to the News app. Everyone can try a few sudoku puzzles free but Apple News Plus subscribers can play new puzzles every day. An Apple News Plus subscription is $13 a month and gives you access to daily sudoku and other puzzles, like Quartiles, as well as stories from publications like the New Yorker and the Wall Street Jo

Trump, who promised to save TikTok, threatens to shut down TikTok

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-31 23:37:24

Donald Trump vowed to save TikTok before taking office, claiming only he could make a deal to keep the app operational in the US despite national security concerns. But then, he put Vice President JD Vance in charge of the deal, and after months of negotiations, the US still doesn't seem to have found terms for a sale that the Chinese government is willing to approve. Now, Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has confirmed that if China won't approve the latest version of the deal—which coul

One of the Rarest Pokemon in History Is Coming to Pokemon TCG Pocket

No honest person can resist the attraction of Pokemon Gold. That's why Pokemon TCG Pocket's Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion set is going all in on generation two when it arrives on July 29. This set will be one of the game's larger offerings, featuring more than 200 cards. I'm sure that has the most ravenous collectors breathing a sigh of relief, since the past two expansions -- Eevee Grove and Extradimensional Crisis -- have both had smaller complimentary card lists to build on Celestial Guard

Trump’s order to make chatbots anti-woke is unconstitutional, senator says

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-02 04:21:52

The CEOs of every major artificial intelligence company received letters Wednesday urging them to fight Donald Trump's anti-woke AI order. Trump's executive order requires any AI company hoping to contract with the federal government to jump through two hoops to win funding. First, they must prove their AI systems are "truth-seeking"—with outputs based on "historical accuracy, scientific inquiry, and objectivity" or else acknowledge when facts are uncertain. Second, they must train AI models to

How to clear your iPhone cache (and why you should do it before installing iOS 26 public beta)

zdnet.com Elyse Betters Picaro 2026-01-02 21:52:00

What is cache? Cache -- or browser cache -- is the temporary storage of website files. So, things like images, scripts, and cookies that your browser saves on your phone to make pages load faster the next time you visit. Also: Every iPhone model that can be updated to iOS 26 (and which ones don't support it) Over time, though, those files can add up, taking a large bite out of your device storage and slowing things down. That's why it's smart to clear your browser cache regularly. In this art

Comic-Con Just Gave Us Our First Look at ‘Ahsoka’ Season 2

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-03 02:00:00

The first season of Ahsoka was about the search for Ezra Bridger. So it’s fitting that the very first thing we see from the second season of the show is that character. At the Lucasfilm Pavilion at San Diego Comic-Con, amid a slew of fanfare for the history of Star Wars animation, an image sits alone, with a big smile on its face. It’s Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, with a new costume that confirms his look in season two. When last we saw Ezra on Ahsoka, he had miraculously returned from Peridea

Apple solves its social media fragmentation problem with ‘In the Loop’

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2026-01-03 11:48:02

Social media has been fragmented since Twitter got X’d and cleared the path for Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, and others. Still, Apple personalities like Tim Cook still rely on sharing company news, often exclusively, on X. Others seem more fond of Instagram. It’s a lot to follow, especially if you’re off one or more social media networks.
