Apple CarPlay will soon let you watch videos while parked

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2025-11-20 14:28:00

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. The update also brings

Steam finally goes native on Apple Silicon, here’s how to try it

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-11-20 14:53:33

After a years-long wait, Steam for Mac is finally a native Apple Silicon app. Or about to be. Valve quietly rolled out the new version as part of a beta update, and you can try it right now. Until now, Steam has relied entirely on Rosetta 2 to function on Apple Silicon Macs. To many users, that meant extra overhead, slower performance, and a clunky experience across the board, especially in the Chromium-based UI that powers much of the Steam client.

The fastest laptops of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

zdnet.com Kyle Kucharski 2025-11-20 14:39:39

At ZDNET, we're often asked, "what's the fastest laptop?" It's a fair question, but it really depends. If you want speed for creative tasks, "fastest" means editing 4K video or rendering high-res images. In that case, you'll want a powerful graphics processing unit (GPU) and lots of random access memory (RAM). The Asus ProArt P16, our pick for fastest creator laptop, has those features in spades.

What is the best internet provider in Columbus? CNET's broadband experts recommend AT&T Fiber as the best internet service provider in Columbus, Ohio. It's not hard to see why: the ISP has reasonable pricing, ranging from $55 to $245, as well as the fastest speeds in the area with 2 and 5 gigabits, respectively. However, its biggest pitfall is that its geographic reach isn't 100% -- so those not in the region will need to look elsewhere. But there are plenty of great alternatives, such as Spect
