9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-07 04:08:27

We’ve covered the new CarPlay experience in iOS 26 a lot over the summer. There’s a lot of excitement for a lot of the changes, but it turns out not everyone loves the complete experience. On 512 Pixels, Stephen Hackett details four issues he has with the new Messages experience in CarPlay with iOS 26. One of his complaints is about name truncation. That’s something I find deeply relatable as I basically have an allergy to unnecessary truncation. The Settings app on my Mac will often truncate “

An experimental “off-the-shelf” vaccine for recurring pancreatic and colorectal cancer is showing great promise so far. Early results show that the vaccine appears to be safe and is potentially prolonging people’s lives. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and elsewhere are developing the vaccine, called ELI-002.

James Cameron Wants to Remind You That Generative AI Is a Threat

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-12-07 14:45:33

As the industry behind generative AI keeps touting its evolution, Hollywood stands on a precipice to see just who’s going to be first to break ground leveraging the controversial technology in film production (although, reportedly, not for a lack of trying and failing behind the scenes). But for James Cameron, at least, the current will-they-won’t-they approach is untenable—and the filmmaker believes that studios have to start getting a grip with the technology now, before it irrevocably damages

iOS 26 brings back the iPhone calculator’s clear button

iOS 18 featured a major redesign to the Calculator app, including fancy features like Math Notes. Those changes included adding a back button to the keypad, replacing the traditional C/AC button. This was so frustrating for some, the real hard-core Calculator users I guess, that The Atlantic published an entire column when iOS 18 shipped, decrying the button’s removal. Apple has seemingly taken those complaints onboard. With iOS 26, the Calculator once again has a dedicated C/AC button. Apple
