gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2026-01-06 08:30:39

There really is something to the concept of having a gut feeling. New research out today suggests our bodies can directly sense and communicate with the many bacteria lining our digestive tract. Scientists at Duke University led the study, published Wednesday in Nature. They found that nerve cells can respond in real time to bacterial signals from the gut—including signals that tell us to curb our appetite. The findings suggest the relationship we have with our microbial neighbors is even more

How to set up and use passkeys across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac

zdnet.com Lance Whitney 2026-01-06 17:17:00

Lance Whitney / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Passkeys offer a more secure and convenient method of authentication compared with passwords. But they can be challenging to set up and synchronize, especially if you want to use the same ones on a range of devices, such as a mobile phone, tablet, and computer. As one solution, Apple users can save and sync their passkeys across an iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The key here is iCloud Keychain, which can store passkeys as well as passwords. You first set up

One of the best things about mechanical keyboards, at least for me, is that there are a ton of choices and options so you can find the one that perfectly fits your preferences. Whether you're a hardcore gamer who needs the biggest, best and fastest one around or you're a more causal gamer who needs something great at work and occasional play, there's something for everyone. Cherry has long been one of the best keyboard makers and continues to have a huge presence and influence on the industry.

Switch 2 owners won't have long to wait for Borderlands 4. On Tuesday, Gearbox founder and CEO Randy Pitchford said it will arrive on October 3. While some had worried the game would be pushed back to 2026, it will land on Nintendo's console less than a month after other platforms. Pitchford's video begins with a sober build toward what sounds like bad news. Just when you think he's about to announce a delay, he turns into an excited 10-year-old, yelling about the game's October release date. "
