That popular workaround for sharing a YouTube Premium family plan with friends and relatives in different homes is now squarely in Google's crosshairs. A new wave of enforcement has begun, with subscribers reporting they've received emails warning that their account access will be suspended. The ultimatum is clear: confirm all members live at the same address within 15 days, or lose your premium perks.

The Incredible Part of Meta's Next Smart Glasses Could Be on Your Wrist

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-02 12:41:00

A year ago I test-drove Meta's next-generation concept AR glasses, called project Orion, in a room on the company's campus in Menlo Park, California. They incorporated 3D displays and a wireless processor puck, but what wowed me was the futuristic neural wristband I wore to control them. Meta's research in EMG -- electromyography, or sensing muscle impulses via electrical signals using wearable sensors -- is becoming a reality. I expect Meta to release that neural band as an accessory to a new

BMW says CarPlay Ultra is ‘not so exciting,’ disputes CarPlay popularity

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-10-03 01:31:11

CarPlay Ultra officially launched earlier this year, but one of the automakers who has so far said “no” to supporting Apple’s system—BMW—has just explained the reasoning for their decision. CarPlay’s future at BMW doesn’t appear very bright At a recent press event, BMW’s Senior Vice President of UI/UX Development, Stephan Durach, didn’t have very positive things to say about CarPlay Ultra. Steven Paul writes at BMWBLOG: “If you take a look at it, what I saw so far, it’s not so exciting,” Dur

New pathway engineered into plants lets them suck up more CO₂

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-03 01:09:00

Lots of people are excited about the idea of using plants to help us draw down some of the excess carbon dioxide we've been pumping into the atmosphere. It would be nice to think that we could reforest our way out of the mess we're creating, but recent studies have indicated there's simply not enough productive land for this to work out. One alternative might be to get plants to take up carbon dioxide more efficiently. Unfortunately, the enzyme that incorporates carbon dioxide into photosynthes

Over three decades later, Nintendo remembers the Virtual Boy exists

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-03 01:46:39

Even as Nintendo has endlessly mined its classic consoles for nostalgic re-releases in recent decades, the company has seemed to completely ignore the existence of the Virtual Boy—its abortive 1990s dip into the world of early virtual reality. That's finally set to change next February with Nintendo's first-ever official re-release of Virtual Boy games—at least for players who invest $100 in a required Virtual Boy-shaped Switch dock (or a cheaper cardboard holder) to make them work.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a new platformer coming to the Switch 2 next spring

Nintendo is dropping a slew of Mario-related announcements this morning as part of the franchise's 40th anniversary, including a new game starring his dinosaur companion. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is coming out for Switch 2 in the Spring of 2026 and the brief bit of gameplay we saw plants it squarely in the cutesy yet intriguing tradition of past Yoshi platformers.

YouTube Music rolls out dual-pane Now Playing redesign on Android, iOS

After testing first got underway in November, YouTube Music is now rolling out a big Now Playing redesign on Android and iOS. The Song/Video switcher is no longer at the top of Now Playing, but Cast remains next to the three-dot overflow menu.

An engineering history of the Manhattan Project

The Manhattan Project, the US program to build an atomic bomb during WWII, is one of the most famous and widely known major government projects: a survey in 1999 ranked the dropping of the atomic bomb as the top news story of the 20th century. Virtually everyone knows that the project built the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

For seven years, the discussion around Hollow Knight: Silksong focused on the cult-like levels of devotion among fans patiently waiting for the sequel. Now that Silksong has been available for about a week, though, that discussion has turned decisively toward seemingly endless takes on the game's relative difficulty (or lack thereof). The discussion has gotten so loud that the developers at Team Cherry have vowed to implement a "slight difficulty reduction in early game bosses Moorwing and Siste

I recently wrote code to simulate a card game.

Thus, I started from a very general core that I did know with certainty: Card - name : string - valid_play : Card -> bool A card has a name and it gets to decide on its own whether it’s legal to play this card on top of another card.

DOOMscrolling: The Game

We’re all familiar with doomscrolling, spending too much time scrolling endless feeds of content that make you feel bad about everything. But sometimes when I hear the word “doomscrolling” it makes me think of two other things: the classic video game Doom and, well, scrolling. That got me wondering if I could make a Doom-inspired game in a web browser where the only thing you do to play is scroll. No moving your character laterally, no jumping. Just scrolling.
