This key iPhone 17 Pro rumor didn’t come to fruition, but there’s a good reason for it

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-01 11:12:27

With iPhone 17 Pro, there was one major rumor that a lot of Apple fans were looking forward to this year: reverse wireless charging. After all, with the new glass window with a centered Apple logo – it looked like a perfect opportunity for this new feature. Our batteries are also larger than ever. Yet, the Apple Event came and went – and there was no reverse wireless charging. While this is certainly disappointing, there’s a good reason for it not arriving, and I’ll delve into that.

OCSP Service Has Reached End of Life

Today we turned off our Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) service, as announced in December of last year. We stopped including OCSP URLs in our certificates more than 90 days ago, so all Let’s Encrypt certificates that contained OCSP URLs have now expired. Going forward, we will publish revocation information exclusively via Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). We ended support for OCSP primarily because it represents a considerable risk to privacy on the Internet. When someone visits a

To add to the frustration, one Redditor pointed out that the brand may have “tinkered with the amount of leaveners in the mix itself. … When [the cake] first comes out of the oven, it looks like a more substantial amount of cake but then shrinks as it cools down.” (We reached out to Betty Crocker to verify any ingredient changes and have yet to receive a response.)

Karen Hao on the Empire of AI, AGI evangelists, and the cost of belief

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2025-10-01 14:00:34

At the center of every empire is an ideology, a belief system that propels the system forward and justifies expansion – even if the cost of that expansion directly defies the ideology’s stated mission. For European colonial powers, it was Christianity and the promise of saving souls while extracting resources. For today’s AI empire, it’s artificial general intelligence to “benefit all humanity.” And OpenAI is its chief evangelist, spreading zeal across the industry in a way that has reframed ho

In Brief AI-powered chatbots play a growing role in spiritual life, according to a New York Times story that examines the popularity of religious chatbots and apps. The Times notes that an app called Bible Chat has been downloaded more than 30 million times, while another app, Hallow, reached the number one spot in Apple’s App Store last year. For the most part, these apps are supposed to point people to religious doctrine and scripture to answer their questions, although at least one website

OpenAI Realizes It Made a Terrible Mistake

OpenAI claims to have figured out what's driving "hallucinations," or AI models' strong tendency to make up answers that are factually incorrect. It's a major problem plaguing the entire industry, greatly undercutting the usefulness of the tech. Worse yet, experts have found that the problem is getting worse as AI models get more capable. As a result, despite incurring astronomical expenses in their deployment, frontier AI models are still prone to making inaccurate claims when faced with a pr

After the Virtual Boy, There’s No Reason Why Nintendo Can’t Bring Back Its Best Handheld

One of the core appeals of cryptocurrency — other than providing a get-rich-quick scheme for famous people with huge sway over their followers, like a sitting president or an airheaded influencer — is that it's decentralized and largely unregulated.

Exit 8’s director was inspired by watching people play the game

Few video game adaptations understand their source material quite like the Exit 8 film. It takes the rules and structure of the game — which strands players inside of a looping hallway in a Tokyo subway station — and then builds on them with actual characters and a story. And according to director Genki Kawamura, one of the reasons that the movie feels so fresh could be because of how he approached it. “I wasn’t necessarily thinking about a film adaptation of a video game,” he tells The Verge. “

In April 2025, another company with an app of the same name filed a dispute with Apple, claiming they held a trademark for the word “Chatbox.” I believe this claim was baseless, because: "Chatbox" is a widely used, generic word across the internet, and their trademark application had already been initially rejected by the USPTO.
