When Apple announced Live Translation at WWDC25, it highlighted use cases like FaceTime, phone calls, and messages. But one major use case was missing: real-world conversations. As it turns out, that was in the works too. New image hints at new AirPods gesture In today’s iOS 26 developer beta 6, we spotted a new system asset that appears to depict a gesture triggered by pressing both AirPods stems at once.

Scientists Design Huge Spacecraft That Could Carry 2,400 Colonists to Alpha Centauri

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-01 21:11:53

A team of engineers has come up with designs of a 36-mile spacecraft, dubbed Chrysalis, designed to carry up to 2,400 passengers to Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our own. As first spotted by Live Science, the ambitious vision recently won the team the top prize at the Project Hyperion Design Competition, which was launched last year by an international consortium of scientists, engineers, and urban planners. Unsurprisingly, Chrysalis sounds like it was yanked straight out of a sci

Nvidia and AMD have reportedly agreed to pay the U.S. government a 15% cut of their revenue from their specialized chip sales in China, in a deal so unconventional the business world is still reeling. The arrangement, effectively a new kind of “export tax,” is an unprecedented move that ends a months-long blockade and reopens one of the world’s largest markets for America’s two most valuable chipmakers.

Apple folds on one change to its new Camera app in latest iOS 26 beta

Apple has delighted many iOS 26 beta users while also potentially frustrating a few others by introducing a modification to the revamped Camera app. Two beta releases ago, Apple changed the swipe direction for switching shooting modes in the redesigned Camera app on iOS 26. Rather than swiping in the opposite direction of where you want the UI to move, as if you were rotating a physical dial beneath your finger, iOS 26 beta 4 instead moved the glass slider in the direction of your finger.

Kerry Wan/ZDNET For many people, motion smoothing on TVs is only appropriate for gaming and watching live sports; enthusiasts typically prefer turning off the feature to watch anything else because it can detract from the filmmaker's original intent, making on-screen images seem artificial or hyper-realistic.

How old is the earliest trace of life on Earth?

The question of when life began on Earth is as old as human culture. “It's one of these fundamental human questions: When did life appear on Earth?” said Professor Martin Whitehouse of the Swedish Museum of Natural History. So when some apparently biological carbon was dated to at least 3.95 billion years ago—making it the oldest remains of life on Earth—the claim sparked interest and skepticism in equal measure, as Ars Technica reported in 2017.
