Commuters in South Korea will soon be able to pay fares using Apple Pay

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-18 01:38:43

More than two years after landing in South Korea, Apple Pay is about to fill one of its biggest gaps in the country: public transportation support. However, the win might be short-lived. Here’s why. Transit card provider Tmoney confirmed Monday that its system will soon work with both iPhones and Apple Watches. Once live, users will be able to tap to pay for subway and bus rides across the country. As observed by Korea JoongAng Daily (via Reddit), there’s no official launch date just yet, but

I upgraded to Android 16 - here's what I love and what's still missing

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-03-17 22:58:20

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Android 16 looked to be one of the most impressive upgrades to the mobile operating system in recent times. Google teased some seriously cool features that would elevate Android to the next level. However, although some of those expected features made their way to the final release, some did not. Because some of the more hotly anticipated features have yet to materialize, Android 16 seems (on the surface) to be kinda blah. But don't be fooled. Even though the big U

Are there old electronic devices sitting around your house unused? Though it can be difficult to get rid of that old laptop, desktop or printer you've got sitting around -- even when it's been over a decade since you last plugged it in or switched it on -- recycling old tech is important, and it can free up a lot of space in your home. A recent CNET survey found that 31% of US adults are still holding onto unused old devices, including laptops, because they're unsure of what to do with them. Th

That Fresh Chicken Doesn't Keep in the Fridge as Long as You Think

I'm a big fan of using meat delivery services to have the fixings for dinner delivered right to my door. Getting fresh chicken has made figuring out what to cook up on week nights easier, but I don't always eat everything, and often use the leftovers for lunches. However, I know chicken doesn't have a long shelf life, even after cooking. I recently realized that I might have been flirting with food poisoning by eating chicken that started to turn. This is especially important because summer is

Top AI Researchers Meet to Discuss What Comes After Humanity

A group of the top minds in AI gathered over the weekend to discuss the "posthuman transition" — a mind-bending exercise in imagining a future in which humanity willfully hands over power, or perhaps bequeaths existence entirely, to some sort of superhuman intelligence. As Wired reports, the lavish party was organized by generative AI entrepreneur Daniel Faggella. Attendees included "AI founders from $100 million to $5 billion valuations" and "most of the important philosophical thinkers on AGI

Finland warms up the world’s largest sand battery, and the economics look appealing

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-03-18 05:54:29

It doesn’t look like much, but Finland recently flipped the switch on the world’s largest sand-based battery. Yes, sand. A sand battery is a type of thermal energy storage system that uses sand or crushed rock to store heat. Electricity — typically from renewable sources — is used to heat the sand. That stored heat can later be used for various ends, including to warm buildings. The economics are compelling, and it’s hard to get any cheaper than the crushed soapstone now housed inside an insu

New Anubis ransomware can encrypt and destroy data, making file recovery impossible

WTF?! Being affected by a dangerous ransomware operation is bad enough, but at least you might have a chance to recover your files somehow. A recently discovered ransomware strain is making things even trickier by offering a new wiping option that allows affiliate criminals to completely destroy data after encryption.

AMD shares rise 9% after analysts say they expect a 'snapback' for chipmaker

Shares of Advanced Micro Devices rose nearly 9% on Monday after analysts at Piper Sandler lifted their price target on the stock on optimism about the chipmaker's latest product announcement. The analysts said they see a snapback for AMD's graphics processing units, or GPUs, in the fourth quarter. That's when they expect the chipmaker to be through the bulk of the $800 million in charges that AMD said it would incur as a result of a new U.S. license requirement that applies to exports of semico

Apple’s next round of OS updates will introduce a long-overdue feature for anyone trying to live in a world without passwords: a seamless, secure way to export and import passkeys across platforms and apps. Here’s how it’s going to work. As noted by Ars Technica’s Dan Goodin (via SixColors), the new capability, which Apple demonstrated during WWDC25, addresses one of the biggest pain points with passkeys to date.

The Future of ‘Star Wars’ May Not Be as Connected as We Expect

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-03-18 09:30:04

One of the best, and worst, things about Star Wars in recent years is just how connected everything has been. It meant characters who may have at first seemed tangential, like Cassian Andor in Rogue One, could be greatly expanded in something like Andor. It also meant audiences who had never watched an animated show like Clone Wars or Rebels might be left confused with the stories in something like Ahsoka. In those cases and others, there always seemed to be some kind of guardrails on what was p

PlayStation doubles down on slow, "thoughtful" PC porting strategy

In a nutshell: Sony's PC porting strategy has been clear from the start. It is in no rush to follow Xbox's multiplatform strategy. It wants to preserve the value of the PlayStation 5 by making sure high-end exclusives like Spider-Man and God of War remain showcases for the console first – and only reach PC when the timing feels right.
