cnbc.com Jordan Novet 2025-09-26 05:00:01

It's been a decade since Kayvon Beykpour sold Periscope to Twitter for a reported $100 million, allowing the social media site to jump into livestreaming. Twitter shuttered Periscope in 2021, and the parent company, now called X and owned by Elon Musk, gravitated to a live events product called Spaces. Meanwhile, Beykpour, who spent seven years at Twitter after the acquisition, is back with Macroscope. He said on Wednesday that he's raised $40 million from venture investors, including GV (form

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-09-26 05:00:17

Apple Intelligence is entering its second year, and iOS 26 adds many new and improved AI features. But despite everything new, there’s surprisingly good news for iPhone storage requirements in the new update. Apple Intelligence still has the same 7 GB storage requirement in iOS 26 Last year, Apple Intelligence launched in iOS 18.1 with a selection of features, followed by a steady drip of new additions throughout iOS 18.2 and beyond. One trend I noticed at the time was that those new features

How to motivate yourself to do a thing you don't want to do

We have an air bike in our basement. If you are unfamiliar with air bikes, they are similar to stationary bikes with foot pedals but also have handles you push and pull with your arms. It uses air resistance, so the harder you pedal and move your arms, the higher the resistance. It’s also known as an assault bike. 😬 Which is apt, because it’s a butt-kicker of a workout. I use it about once a week, more frequently in the winter when it’s too cold to run, and less often in the summer when I can

People’s motivations to overeat may play a role in this, according to a new study.
