Apple Music is about to get its biggest update in years thanks to iOS 26, including upgrades to one of my favorite features—lyrics—just in time for the device that will be perfect for them. Lyrics in Apple Music are getting two iOS 26 enhancements When I’m listening to music, I don’t pay much attention to lyrics. My mind is tuned into the rhythm far more than to the words being sung.

I pay for Google Gemini, but GPT-5 has convinced me to switch to ChatGPT and here’s why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-06 03:00:51

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority ChatGPT has become the Xerox of the AI world, but OpenAI no longer has the stage to itself. Google has been pushing Gemini deeper into its ecosystem, and every few weeks it feels like another rival pops up with promises of being faster, smarter, or more useful. So when the latest GPT-5 model launched last month, it felt like a release OpenAI couldn’t afford to get wrong.

Takeout Containers Should Never Go in the Microwave. This Is Why

When hunger and laziness coincide, reheating last night's leftovers in the microwave seems like a great idea. But if you reheat them in the plastic container they came in, you put yourself at risk for ingesting microplastics and harmful chemicals. You may be wondering, "Is plastic contamination as dangerous as experts say?" Unfortunately, all signs point to yes.
