9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-02 22:12:27

With iPhone 17 Pro, there was one major rumor that a lot of Apple fans were looking forward to this year: reverse wireless charging. After all, with the new glass window with a centered Apple logo – it looked like a perfect opportunity for this new feature. Our batteries are also larger than ever. Yet, the Apple Event came and went – and there was no reverse wireless charging. While this is certainly disappointing, there’s a good reason for it not arriving, and I’ll delve into that.

The Stop Killing Games movement is nearing an official meeting with EU lawmakers

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-03 03:15:35

The Stop Killing Games campaign is continuing to gain momentum after hitting more than a million signatures in July. After a July 31st deadline, the movement secured around 1.45 million signatures, which the organizers are currently in the process of verifying. The initiative aims to enact legislation that preserves access to video games, even when developers decide to end support, as seen with Ubisoft when it delisted The Crew and revoked access to players who already purchased the game.

This horse-themed browser puzzle game is an absolute delight and I can't stop playing it

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-03 05:43:13

Another day, another adorable game that I've become completely obsessed with. I came across Roly-Pony this weekend during a particularly soul-sucking bout of doomscrolling, and it's turned out to be the perfect little temporary respite from the horrors. (Shoutout to Alice Ruppert of The Mane Quest for always keeping us informed about the latest in horse games). Roly-Pony is a Suika-style game, meaning it involves dropping and stacking round objects in order to create matching pairs that combine

My thoughts on renting versus buying

news.ycombinator.com Miles Barr 2025-10-03 04:36:14

I’ve read numerous articles about renting versus buying and most dive into financial projections while completely missing the bigger picture. In my view, behavioral and emotional factors have a far larger impact on the financial outcomes of renting versus buying than the math. The math can always be made to “work” if you’re willing to adjust what or where you rent or buy. But the real differences aren’t captured in spreadsheets. They come from how people actually make decisions, and how those d

Eye drops could replace glasses or surgery for longsightedness, study says

news.ycombinator.com Andrew Gregory 2025-10-03 01:59:16

Doctors have developed special eye drops for people with longsightedness that could replace the need for reading glasses or surgery. Hundreds of millions of people worldwide have presbyopia, which is when the eyes find it difficult to focus on objects and text up close. Glasses or surgery can usually resolve the problem but many find wearing spectacles inconvenient and having an operation is not an option for everyone. Now experts say the solution could be as simple as using eye drops twice a

You’re a slow thinker. Now what?

I'm not a quick witted person. In fact, I’ve always been worried about my brain’s slow processing time. But recently, I've realised that slow processing time is not as much of an issue as I thought it was.
