wired.com Fernanda González 2026-03-22 03:00:00

A new Covid variant is being kept under surveillance by the World Health Organization (WHO) as its emergence has led to an increase in infections in several regions of the world. First identified at the end of January, the variant—called NB.1.8.1 but known informally as “Nimbus”—is a descendant of the Omicron family of Covid sublineages, and has become increasingly prevalent throughout the spring in Europe, the Americas, and the Western Pacific.

Ariella Sharf was first prescribed antidepressants when she was a college student more than a decade ago. When she decided to stop taking them last year, Sharf says she wasn’t sure how to do it safely. She was disappointed when her longtime psychiatrist didn’t help her find a new doctor after she moved across the country, and she thought her primary care physician wasn’t equipped for the task. Sharf decided instead to try Outro Health, a telehealth startup that CEO and cofounder Brandon Goode de

wired.com Lily Hay Newman 2026-03-22 17:04:11

As Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference keynote concluded on Monday, market watchers couldn't help but notice that the company's stock price was down, perhaps a reaction to Apple's relatively low-key approach to incorporating AI compared to most of its competitors. Still, Apple Intelligence–based features and upgrades were plentiful, and while some are powered using the company's privacy- and security-focused cloud platform known as Private Cloud Compute, many run locally on Apple Intelligenc

wired.com Molly Taft 2026-03-23 14:36:25

The US Environmental Protection Agency moved to roll back emissions standards for power plants, the second-largest source of CO 2 emissions in the country, on Wednesday, claiming that the American power sector does not “contribute significantly” to air pollution. “The bottom line is that the EPA is trying to get out of the climate change business,” says Ryan Maher, a staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity.

AirPods Pro 3 could be on the way

In Brief Apple didn’t unveil new hardware during Monday’s WWDC 2025, but we could still be getting updated AirPods soon. According to Steve Moser of MacRumors, the code for the developer’s beta of iOS 26 mentions the AirPods Pro 3 alongside mentions of AirPods Pro and AirPods Pro 2. This suggests that the AirPods Pro 3 could be coming soon, which would make sense, because the AirPods Pro 2 have been out for almost 3 years.
