iOS 26 code hints at a sleep score feature for Apple Watch

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-01-07 14:57:37

If you use a third-party sleep tracker with your Apple Watch, you’re probably familiar with the concept of a sleep score: an index that combines signals like heart rate variation and sleep stages, to tell you how efficient your sleep really was. And while the Apple Watch gained native sleep tracking with watchOS 7, it’s been missing that kind of score. Not for long, as it may turn out. A third-party favorite may come to the Apple Watch As spotted by MacRumors, the iOS 26 Health app has an unu

Apple Watch sleep score looks set to replicate these two smart ring features

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-01-07 15:22:45

Earlier today we saw iOS 26 code suggesting that an Apple Watch sleep score feature is in development, with a percentage score indicating your readiness to tackle the day ahead. The feature also provides a more condensed graphical representation of your sleep stages than is currently available. What is shown and described looks like a very close match for two features provided by the Oura smart ring, so here’s a look at how those work … The Oura Ring readiness and sleep scores Each morning, w

Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work Schedule

wired.com Kate Knibbs 2026-01-07 12:30:00

Would you like to work nearly double the standard 40-hour week? It’s a question that many startups in the US are asking prospective employees—and to get the job, the answer needs to be an unequivocal yes. These companies are embracing an intense schedule, first popularized in mainland China, known as “996,” or 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. In other words, it’s a 72-hour work week. The 996 phenomenon in China gave rise to major protests and accusations of “modern slavery,” with critics blaming

Earthquake Causes 2.5-Meter Ground Slip in First-Ever Footage

news.ycombinator.com Ashley Fike 2026-01-07 16:15:22

A security camera in Myanmar captured something scientists have never seen before on film: the surface of the Earth lunging sideways during a magnitude 7.7 earthquake. In 1.3 seconds, the ground shifted 2.5 meters (a little over 8 feet), revealing something researchers have only been able to model or guess at until now. It’s the first direct video of a fault line in motion, offering a rare, horrifyingly calm glimpse at the forces that shape continents and rearrange cities. Videos by VICE Scie

TapTrap: Animation‑Driven Tapjacking on Android

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-07 12:55:19

TapTrap is a new type of attack targeting Android devices. It allows an app without any permissions to misuse screen animations. This app can secretly open another screen, such as a permission prompt, and make it invisible. The attack can then be used to trick you into performing sensitive actions, such as granting camera permissions or even erasing your device, without your consent. The idea is simple: imagine you’re using an app. While you use it, it opens another screen, such as a system pro
