AMD's new AI roadmap spans new Instinct GPUs, networking, software, and rack architectures

Editor's take: In the ever-evolving world of GenAI, important advances are happening across chips, software, models, networking, and systems that combine all these elements. That's what makes it so hard to keep up with the latest AI developments.

Apple CarPlay will soon let you watch videos while parked

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2025-09-17 11:28:00

In a nutshell: For safety reasons, Apple has limited CarPlay to audio-only features until now. With iOS 26, users will be able to stream video as long as the car is parked. App developers may need to issue patches to support the feature, and compatible vehicles have yet to be confirmed. With the iOS 26 update arriving this fall, users can stream videos via AirPlay to the dashboards of parked vehicles. This marks a notable shift from CarPlay's traditional audio-only focus.

Google’s Android 16 update is now available for Pixels, and like many of you, I eagerly rushed to update my phone as soon as the new software was live.

The curse of Toumaï: an ancient skull and a bitter feud over humanity's origins

On a late-summer day in 2001, at the University of Poitiers in west-central France, the palaeontologist Michel Brunet summoned his colleagues into a classroom to examine an unusual skull. Brunet had just returned from Chad, and brought with him an extremely ancient cranium. It had been distorted by the aeons spent beneath what is now the Djurab desert; a crust of black mineral deposits left it looking charred and slightly malevolent. It sat on a table. “What is this thing?” Brunet wondered aloud
