Does iPadOS 26 make the iPad a computer? [Video]

9to5mac.com Fernando Silva 2025-11-05 16:00:00

The moment Apple announced iPadOS 26, it felt like us iPad users have finally been heard. For years the iPad has always been “almost there”. It had the powerful hardware, but the software made the experience too limited for most people. But now with iPadOS 26, that gap is almost gone. The new windowing system, improved multitasking, and better file management make the iPad feel more like a computer than it ever has before. So the next natural question is, can an iPad be your one and only comput

Apple could rejuvenate the next iPad Air model with one new feature

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-11-05 18:22:51

The iPad Air hasn’t been a particularly interesting product for a number of years. Apple redesigned it in 2020 with the fourth generation model, and since then – it’s just been spec bumps and small feature upgrades. However, I think the next refresh could be a great opportunity to introduce a large feature upgrade: Face ID. Face ID has remained iPad Pro exclusive Despite the fact that Face ID is now an 8 year old technology, you can still only get it on the iPad Pro. This is in stark contrast

Welcome to our latest recap of what's going on in the indie game space. It's been a very busy week in that realm, thanks to Gamescom. Before we jam through a few of this week's new releases and some of the many, many Gamescom reveals, there's one game that has risen high above the din to the point where it's drowning out many of the smaller announcements. Yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong has a release date, and it's very, very soon. September 4, in fact. I feel for all the developers who have games

Scientists Propose a Smarter Way to Hunt for Alien Radio Signals

gizmodo.com George Dvorsky 2025-11-05 15:00:31

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has yet to detect alien technosignatures like radio waves, but the cosmos is vast, and there are plenty of places left to look. New research suggests refining our search parameters by using our own broadcasts into deep space as a helpful guide. Research published earlier this week in Astrophysical Journal Letters suggests we search for alien signals by studying how we beam strong, directed transmissions during two-way communication with our de

The Trump administration’s big Intel investment comes from already awarded grants

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-11-05 20:07:30

Intel officially announced an agreement with President Donald Trump’s administration on Friday afternoon, following Trump’s statement that the government would be taking a 10% stake in the struggling chipmaker. While Intel says the government is making an “$8.9 billion investment in Intel common stock,” the administration does not appear to be committing new funds. Instead, it’s simply making good on what Intel described as “grants previously awarded, but not yet paid, to Intel.” Specifically,

I'm too dumb for Zig's new IO interface

I'm too dumb for Zig's new IO interface You might have heard that Zig 0.15 introduces a new IO interface, with the focus for this release being the new std.Io.Reader and std.Io.Writer types. The old "interfaces" had problems. Like this performance issue that I opened. And it relied on a mix of types, which always confused me, and a lot of anytype - which is generally great, but a poor foundation to build an interface on.

What Happened to Egghead Software

news.ycombinator.com Dave Farquhar 2025-11-01 19:18:18

Egghead Software was a US retail store that sold computer software from 1984 to 2001. It declared bankruptcy 24 years ago this week, on August 18, 2001, after an attempted transition to selling online failed. Egghead Software’s beginnings Egghead Software started in Bellevue, Washington in 1984 and moved eastward. Its founder, Victor D. Alhadeff, had a background in oil and gas, but when his old company went out of business in 1983, he needed a new idea. That came from shopping for software. A

Every decision we make as developers is a tradeoff. We choose to do it because we believe that it holds benefit for what we are trying to accomplish. However, it is generally also a liability. The new code we are adding will need to be maintained, following new processes takes time, keeping infrastructure up-to-date and secure requires regular effort, etc. We are in an eternal battle to build what we need to build without being overwhelmed by these forces.

Abxylute will sell an absurd 3D handheld from Intel and Tencent Games for "under $1,700"

Most Powerful Fast Radio Burst Ever Detected Hits Telescopes Across North America

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-11-06 14:25:38

For almost two decades, astronomers have detected extremely powerful, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) from beyond our galaxy—and had no clue where they came from. Now, a team of scientists has detected the brightest-ever FRB and finally pinpointed its origin to a nearby galaxy. Researchers have long suspected that FRBs are the result of highly energetic and violent events, like clashes between neutron stars. But even though they can generate more energy
