HBO Max comes full circle, and this time your apps will auto-update

The HBO streaming video app became HBO Max when the company added Warner Bros movies and Turner TV shows. In the worst rebrand since Twitter became X, the company later dropped the unique and valuable HBO part of the name and kept the generic and worthless Max part. Two years later, the company is fixing that. It today becomes HBO Max once more – and this time around, your apps should automatically update … Musk still holds the dumbest rebrand award thanks to throwing away a global household n

Apple Support app may soon get a generative AI assistant, and that’s a good thing

Apple might be the next company to add a ChatGPT-style chatbot to its Support app, likely as a way to automatically handle cases covered in its documentation and hand off only the trickier ones to a human. All things considered, this is a good move.

Using MPC for Anonymous and Private DNA Analysis

Earlier this year, Monadic DNA kicked off an experiment to demonstrate that people can access and analyze their genetic data with anonymity and privacy.

While more than a dozen carriers technically support cellular watches, compatibility varies greatl

I want to use YouTube Music for podcasts, but it keeps letting me down

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I like listening to podcasts when I’m doing household chores. So I recently opened YouTube Music with the intention of continuing a podcast I’d been enjoying the evening before, but instead of resuming where I left off, I found myself squinting at the screen, scrolling through a wall of music suggestions, videos, and algorithmic clutter. The podcast was nowhere in sight. YouTube Music had let me down, again. My dream is to have as few apps as possible, and t

Adaptive Power in iOS 26 Could Mean Longer Stretches Between iPhone Charges

But one feature I can't wait to turn on will hopefully be something I can forget about. A new Adaptive Power setting promises to extend battery power by selectively applying energy savings in small ways that add up. It's currently available in the iOS 26 developer beta and is expected to ship in the fall. See also:

Tim Cook has a new deputy but Apple’s next CEO is probably still someone else

Jeff Williams, often considered Tim Cook’s successor, is leaving Apple. Sabih Khan, a 30-year veteran of the company, is Apple’s next chief operating officer. Does Khan taking Cook’s old job make him CEO-designate? Jeff Williams retiring certainly clears the path for Khan to climb up the succession planning ladder. However, I would wager that Apple’s CEO succession plan isn’t changing. Jeff Williams retires and Sabih Khan steps up Jeff Williams, who has been called Tim Cook’s Tim Cook, has alw
