news.ycombinator.com Caroline Davies 2025-11-03 10:42:32

A will that has been lost for more than 150 years and was at the centre of a bitter legal battle by William Shakespeare’s family over who owned the playwright’s final home has been unearthed in an unlabelled box at the National Archives. The original 1642 document was made by Thomas Nash, who was married to Shakespeare’s granddaughter Elizabeth Hall. In it, he bequeathed New Place, reputedly the second grandest house in Stratford-upon-Avon, to his own cousin Edward Nash. However, on Thomas’s d

WhatsApp is working on a voicemail-like feature

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-11-07 08:24:44

Heads up if you tend to dodge, ignore, or genuinely miss calls on WhatsApp: the app is working on a voicemail-like feature. Here’s how it will work. According to WABetaInfo (via Tecnoblog), the feature was introduced in the latest Android beta, but not yet on iOS. They explain that if a call goes unanswered, a new “Record voice message” button pops up at the bottom of the screen, alongside the Call again and Cancel options. This lets the user quickly record a voice message, rather than either

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Did a Documentary Episode That Should’ve Been Killed in the Edit

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-07 22:08:52

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is, at this point, very clearly a series that is unafraid to dabble in its format on a regular basis. That can lead to episodes of Star Trek that don’t necessarily look or feel like what we expect of Star Trek, even if they still play with ideas and approaches that fit into what the franchise has done for generations now. This week’s Strange New Worlds definitely fits into both of those ideas, with an episode in a new format, an in-universe documentary, and an episo

5 reasons I’d get the Pixel 10 over the Pixel 9a

The Pixel 10 has just launched, and it’s already turning out to be everyone’s darling. The phone feels like a big step up from its predecessor on nearly every front, so much so that Google’s budget champ, the Pixel 9a, feels like it’s been left further behind. And honestly, it doesn’t even look like part of the family either without that recognizable camera visor. It’s a close cousin at best. With their apparent differences, you already sort of expect that I’d prefer the Pixel 10 over the 9a, w
