gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-17 16:00:21

Fecal transplants have emerged as a potential treatment for a wide range of conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, and even depression. These so-called poop transplants have understandably received a lot of attention, but new research casts a bit of a wet blanket over the practice. The procedure involves taking microbes from the poop of a healthy person and transferring them into a patient’s colon. This should restore balance to their gut microbiome, but according to a study

Apple CarPlay will soon let you watch videos while parked

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2025-09-17 16:28:00

In a nutshell: For safety reasons, Apple has limited CarPlay to audio-only features until now. With iOS 26, users will be able to stream video as long as the car is parked. App developers may need to issue patches to support the feature, and compatible vehicles have yet to be confirmed. With the iOS 26 update arriving this fall, users can stream videos via AirPlay to the dashboards of parked vehicles. This marks a notable shift from CarPlay's traditional audio-only focus.

The curse of Toumaï: an ancient skull and a bitter feud over humanity's origins

news.ycombinator.com Scott Sayare 2025-09-17 23:50:08

On a late-summer day in 2001, at the University of Poitiers in west-central France, the palaeontologist Michel Brunet summoned his colleagues into a classroom to examine an unusual skull. Brunet had just returned from Chad, and brought with him an extremely ancient cranium. It had been distorted by the aeons spent beneath what is now the Djurab desert; a crust of black mineral deposits left it looking charred and slightly malevolent. It sat on a table. “What is this thing?” Brunet wondered aloud

Google is killing Android Instant Apps, but you probably won’t miss them

Joe Hindy / Android Authority TL;DR Google is discontinuing its Android Instant Apps feature in December 2025. The feature allowed users to try parts of an app without needing to perform a full installation from the Play Store. Low developer adoption is the likely reason for the shutdown, as creating the small, instant-enabled app versions required a lot of work.
