This USB-C iPhone case will let you finally ditch Lightning without buying a new phone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-10 15:32:39

TL;DR Apple finally moved to USB-C for its smartphones in 2023, with the iPhone 15 series. While earlier models use Apple’s own Lightning port for charging and data transfers, USB adapters exist. Engineer Ken Pillonel has now built a low-profile USB-C adapter right into an iPhone case. Apple has been successful enough to get away with doing things its own way for years, and for the longest time, that meant that using its mobile hardware meant interfacing through some proprietary connectors.

Google DeepMind’s new AI can help historians understand ancient Latin inscriptions

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2026-01-10 20:00:08

To do this, Aeneas takes in partial transcriptions of an inscription alongside a scanned image of it. Using these, it gives possible dates and places of origins for the engraving, along with potential fill-ins for any missing text. For example, a slab damaged at the start and continuing with ... us populusque Romanus would likely prompt Aeneas to guess that Senat comes before us to create the phrase Senatus populusque Romanus, “The Senate and the people of Rome.” This is similar to how Ithaca w

As a former girl scout I believe in leaving a place better than I found it.
