By Brenda Emerson, VMUG President IT isn't getting any simpler. For many, the cloud’s gone hybrid, AI’s moved in permanently, and security threats seem to evolve faster than the tech built to stop them. But what’s at the forefront of all of this? People. The IT teams configuring, troubleshooting, deploying, and defending. And the IT staff that take the extra step to get certified are becoming some of the most valuable assets in modern enterprise.

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-11 17:58:46

The Apple Watch’s health features have once again played a part in flagging a potential health problem. A 57-year-old woman from Brighton, East Sussex says her Apple Watch alerted her to an issue that ultimately led doctors to uncover a brain tumor. Sam Adams told The Sun that her Apple Watch repeatedly flagged an unusually low heart rate after she returned from a trip to Costa Rica.

Trippy Image From Deep Space Shows Earth and Moon From 180 Million Miles Away

The Psyche spacecraft is on a six-year journey to reach a metal-rich asteroid by the same name. Well into its voyage, the probe looked back at its home planet and captured a rare view of Earth, accompanied by its Moon, as a mere speck engulfed by the dark void of space.

The Qi2 wireless charging spec was originally announced back in early 2023. However, Android phone makers haven’t exactly been rushing to add Qi2 support to their latest devices since then. That’s made finding a compatible handset rather difficult, which is a bummer for anyone who has seen the wealth of accessories and power banks that iPhone owners have had access to for several generations.
