There’s just one day to go until the iPhone 17 event, and the Awe Dropping announcements will of course be streaming online. You have a choice of three different ways to watch the event live, and if you’re watching from a browser, it’s worth having two different tabs open … While we’re expecting the presentations to be pre-recorded, as we’ve seen for the last few years, it is still streamed as if it were a live event. We previously outlined the three different ways to watch the livestream: A

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-10-13 18:00:00

Using Claude Code to modernize a 25-year-old kernel driver

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-13 14:53:47

As a bit of background, one of my hobbies is helping people recover data from old tape cartridges, such as QIC-80 tapes, which were a rather popular backup medium in the 1990s among individuals, small businesses, BBS operators, and the like. I have a soft spot for tape media; there’s something about the tactile sensation of holding these tapes in my hands that makes the whole process very joyful, even though QIC tapes are notorious for their many design flaws.

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-13 11:45:29

Astronomers examining data from the James Webb Space Telescope say they've spotted what might be the oldest black hole in the universe, born less than a second after the Big Bang. Their findings, published in a new study awaiting peer review, could offer the best evidence yet of the existence of what's known as a primordial black hole, a hypothetical object that's divided scientists for decades.

With just a few prompts or API calls, it is now possible to generate entire products, features, infrastructure, and functionality in hours rather than weeks. And yet, despite all this acceleration, delivery outcomes remain stubbornly poor. Too many initiatives underdeliver, budgets continue to overrun, and users are left underserved. If cheaper
