CRISPR Offers New Hope for Treating Diabetes

Crispr gene-editing technology has demonstrated its revolutionary potential in recent years: It has been used to treat rare diseases, to adapt crops to withstand the extremes of climate change, or even to change the color of a spider’s web. But the greatest hope is that this technology will help find a cure for a global disease, such as diabetes. A new study points in that direction.

Apple’s Big Bet to Eliminate the iPhone’s Most Targeted Vulnerabilities

wired.com Lily Hay Newman 2025-10-06 18:59:23

Apple launched a slate of new iPhones on Tuesday loaded with the company's new A19 and A19 Pro chips. Along with an ultra-thin iPhone Air and other redesigns, the new phones come with a less flashy upgrade that could turn out to be the true killer feature. A security improvement called “Memory Integrity Enforcement” combines always-on chip-level protections with software defenses in an effort to harden iPhones against the most common—and commonly exploited—software vulnerabilities.

Apple’s faster MagSafe Charger can now charge other phones at 25W

The new charger, which was first leaked last June through Taiwan’s National Communications Commission’s website, is now available through Apple’s online store with a 1-meter USB-C cable for $39, or a 2-meter cable for $49. Apple introduced 25W wireless charging with the iPhone 16 ahead of the Qi2.2 specification being officially introduced early this year, which is why the faster rate was only available when using Apple’s own wireless charger.

As Apple again extends free satellite messaging, I’m doubling down on my prediction

Apple’s satellite messaging service was a key feature of the iPhone 14. Initially limited to providing an emergency service for those outside cellular coverage areas, it was subsequently extended to offer roadside assistance cover for mechanical problems and messaging with family and friends too. Although initially described as free for the first two years only, Apple subsequently extended free coverage – and has just done so again … As Macworld notes, here are the latest free periods: iPhone

Off the grid doesn't mean out of luck.

All-Clad Gas Pizza Oven Review (2025): A Pie That Rotates Itself
