How eSIMs Work, and How to Switch to One From a Standard SIM

wired.com David Nield 2025-10-10 06:00:00

The physical SIM cards we've used for decades are slowly being phased out. With the Pixel 10 series, Google's phones have gone eSIM-only for the first time—at least if you buy them in the US. Apple made the same move with the iPhone 14 in 2022, and now its new iPhone 17 models will operate with eSIMs in a dozen countries, with the slim iPhone Air going eSIM-only everywhere in the world. But how is eSIM different, and what do you need to do to switch? The good news is that by most measures, eSI

US Investment in Spyware Is Skyrocketing

wired.com Vas Panagiotopoulos 2025-10-10 06:00:00

The United States has emerged as the largest investor in commercial spyware—a global industry that has enabled the covert surveillance of journalists, human rights defenders, politicians, diplomats, and others, posing grave threats to human rights and national security. In 2024, 20 new US-based spyware investors were identified, bringing the total number of American backers of this technology to 31. This growth has largely outpaced other major investing countries such as Israel, Italy, and the

Spotify adds lossless streaming after 8 years of teasing

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-10-10 06:00:00

It’s been a long time coming but Spotify is finally getting lossless audio. Rumors have been circulating about a high-fidelity offering since as early as 2017. In 2021, Spotify claimed it was “coming later this year.” And by May of 2024 it was “almost ready.” So, when rumors started picking up again in June of this year, they were met with skepticism, especially amid announcements over the launch of features nobody was asking for, like direct messaging. Well, it’s here. For real. And there’s so

Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-10-10 06:00:00

Spotify is finally launching high-quality, lossless music streaming support for premium account holders after years of waiting. The company first talked about a hi-fi tier in 2021 — which would offer CD-quality audio –but the plan faced multiple delays, partially due to licensing issues. Last year, CEO Daniel Ek said that the company was in the “early days” of launching lossless streaming support. Over the past few years, reports and code hints in the app suggested that the company was plannin

All 54 lost clickwheel iPod games have now been preserved for posterity

Last year, we reported on the efforts of classic iPod fans to preserve playable copies of the downloadable clickwheel games that Apple sold for a brief period in the late '00s. The community was working to get around Apple's onerous FairPlay DRM by having people who still owned original copies of those (now unavailable) games sync their accounts to a single iTunes installation via a coordinated Virtual Machine. That "master library" would then be able to provide playable copies of those games to

NASA finds Titan's lakes may be creating vesicles with primitive cell walls

NASA research has shown that cell-like compartments called vesicles could form naturally in the lakes of Saturn's moon Titan. Titan is the only world apart from Earth that is known to have liquid on its surface. However, Titan's lakes and seas are not filled with water. Instead, they contain liquid hydrocarbons like ethane and methane. On Earth, liquid water is thought to have been essential for the origin of life as we know it.
