9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2026-01-08 04:04:25

It’s become common for AirPods to get new features with each major version of iOS. That’s true with iOS 26, especially for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4. But it seems iOS 26 also introduces a rarity: an update to how the AirPods charging case works. One of iOS 26’s new AirPods-related features involves the battery. There are new charging notifications that let you know when you should charge, and when your AirPods are fully charged. These are similar to existing Dynamic Island battery indicators,

Sonos products are about to get more expensive

Sonos is synonymous with premium audio gear, and soon, some of that gear will carry an even more premium price tag. Chris Welch reports for Bloomberg that Sonos plans to increase prices on at least some of its products. The reason is no surprise: tariffs. Sonos Inc. will raise prices on some products later this year, the company said Wednesday, a move that threatens to complicate its comeback attempt following a tumultuous 2024.

40 Years of the Amiga, from Commodore

news.ycombinator.com Paul Lefebvre 2026-01-08 03:38:22

In July 1985, 40 years ago, the Commodore Amiga was officially introduced to the world. This groundbreaking computer caught a lot of people by surprise and it has an equally amazing development story. As an Atari guy in the 80s, I was somewhat aware of Amiga before 1985 because it would occasionally get mentioned in Atari magazines or by an Atari columnist. I remember seeing a brief note about it in ANALOG Computing and also the Atari column in Creative Computing. Early History As many people

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2026-01-08 09:20:46

This week, OpenAI released its long-awaited open weight model called gpt-oss. Part of the appeal of gpt-oss is that you can run it locally on your own hardware, including Macs with Apple silicon.

'Freakier Friday' Review: Disney's Body-Swapping Sequel Really Rocks

For me, watching Freakier Friday -- the new sequel to the 2003 body-switch comedy starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis -- led to a change in perspective: I was now a fan of two Freaky Friday movies headlined by Lohan and Curtis. From Curtis' nostalgic and still-hilarious portrayal of waking up as a 15-year-old inhabiting her step-grandmother's body to entertaining scenes with a job-switching fortune teller (Saturday Night Live alum Vanessa Bayer), the sequel offers wacky and laugh-out-lo

Breaking the sorting barrier for directed single-source shortest paths

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost. You may end up spending too much time putting the pieces in order. This dilemma is especially relevant to one of the most iconic problems in computer science: finding the shortest path from a specific starting point in a network to every other point.

In the last twenty years, aircraft surveillance has moved from controller-based interrogation to automatic broadcast. The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is one of the most common methods for aircraft to report their state information like identity, position, and speed. Like other Mode S communications, ADS-B makes use of the 1090 megahertz transponder to transmit data. The protocol for ADS-B is open, and low-cost receivers can easily be used to intercept its signals. Many rec
