iOS 26 gives Apple’s Reminders app a new, faster way to add tasks

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2026-01-22 11:23:06

Apple’s Reminders app is getting a fresh Liquid Glass look in iOS 26, plus a handful of other new features. One standout addition enables you to create new reminders faster than ever, here’s how it works. ‘New Reminder’ control in iOS 26 enables fast task creation without opening the app I’ve tried many task managers over the years, and while they all have their strengths and weaknesses, one of the most important details to me is task input.

Interlock ransomware adopts new FileFix attack to push malware

Hackers have adopted the new technique called 'FileFix' in Interlock ransomware attacks to drop a remote access trojan (RAT) on targeted systems. Interlock ransomware operations have increased over the past months as the threat actor started using the KongTuke web injector (aka 'LandUpdate808') to deliver payloads through compromised websites.

AI text-to-speech programs could “unlearn” how to imitate certain people

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2026-01-23 11:00:16

AI companies generally keep a tight grip on their models to discourage misuse. For example, if you ask ChatGPT to give you someone’s phone number or instructions for doing something illegal, it will likely just tell you it cannot help. However, as many examples over time have shown, clever prompt engineering or model fine-tuning can sometimes get these models to say things they otherwise wouldn’t. The unwanted information may still be hiding somewhere inside the model so that it can be accessed

Pixel Watch 4 battery upgrade is coming, but don’t expect magic

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-23 10:00:16

TL;DR Google’s next-generation Pixel Watch models could get a modest battery capacity increase. The 41mm Pixel Watch 4 may arrive with a 327mAh battery, and the 45mm Watch 3 getting a 459mAh component. Compared to Watch 3 models, that would represent a capacity increase of 7% and 9%, respectively. What do you expect from a new generation of wearables?

Don't plug these 7 appliances (including AC units) into extension cords - here's why

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-01-23 12:23:00

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Extension cords are generally a safe solution for running power to electronics that are too far from the nearest wall outlet. But the operative word here is "electronics," which is not as all-encompassing as some people might think. Appliances (like refrigerators and toaster ovens) are obviously electronic devices, but they're in a different class from most electronics because of the amperage demands they need to function.

Do You Need a Box Spring for Your Modern-Day Mattress? (2025)

wired.com Julia Forbes 2026-01-23 11:32:00

You're probably familiar with a box spring, the simple wood frame with springs that acts as a support base under older mattresses. It's not a highly technical piece of equipment like a smart bed (or a trampoline, wouldn't that be fun)—this kind of mattress foundation has persisted through the ages solely due to its simple and durable design. But have you noticed you may not be seeing them as often nowadays? In my opinion as a career mattress tester, contemporary mattresses are on their way to m

Dozens of ‘Ghost Galaxies’ Are Orbiting the Milky Way, Astronomers Suspect

More broadly, the LCDM represents our best understanding of how the universe works. But there’s a problem.
