iOS 26 tweaks iPhone Always On Display in a way you might not like

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-26 02:52:32

Apple’s Always On Display has been fairly consistent since it debuted on iPhone 14 Pro. With iOS 26, Apple has quietly changed how it works in a way that may not be obvious. Always On Display modes Instead of simply dimming your Lock Screen wallpaper, the system now blurs it by default. The tweak makes the clock and widgets stand out more, but it also defeats the purpose of displaying a photo if that’s what you like about the feature. Luckily, there’s also a toggle to bring back the original b

Scientists discover surprising language 'shortcuts' in birdsong – like humans

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-21 21:02:49

Scientists have uncovered a hidden pattern in birdsong that mirrors a core rule of human language. A new study, led by researchers at The University of Manchester, in collaboration with Chester Zoo, found that birds appear to follow Zipf’s Law of Abbreviation (ZLA) – the idea that more frequently used sounds tend to be shorter. This rule, found in all human languages, helps make communication more efficient. The findings, published in the journal PLoS Computational Biology today, offer new ins

Tech in the Classroom: A History of Hype and Hysteria

wired.com Elana Klein 2025-11-26 12:00:00

If you’re a parent, an educator, or just someone who’s been to school, you’ve probably developed an opinion about generative AI in classrooms. You might fear the demise of the five-paragraph essay, the ever-increasing ease of cheating, or, worse, the end of critical thinking altogether. But don’t worry: The anxiety surrounding large language models in schools is anything but unprecedented.

Modifying other people's software

Every once in a while, we all feel the need to modify something that someone else built. Sometimes those patches make sense to upstream, but not always. Sometimes they need a bit more time to bake, before they're ready to share with the world. Sometimes they're too specific to your environment. Sometimes it's just some personal preference, that the upstream wouldn't want to force upon everyone.

OpenAI rival Anthropic says Claude has been updated with a rare new feature that allows the AI model to end conversations when it feels it poses harm or is being abused. This only applies to Claude Opus 4 and 4.1, the two most powerful models available via paid plans and API. On the other hand, Claude Sonnet 4, which is the company's most used model, won't be getting this feature. Anthropic describes this move as a "model welfare."

Astronomer Suggests New Interstellar Object Could be Advanced Aliens Testing Our Intelligence

A strange object hurdling through our solar system from interstellar space may, according to one of academia's most controversial astronomers, have been sent by aliens to see how smart we are. The newly-discovered object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, is only the third interstellar object of its kind to have been observed visiting our solar system. While most astronomers, including those at NASA, believe it to be a comet, Harvard's resident alien-hunter Avi Loeb has repeatedly suggested that it was sent to

When the James Webb Space Telescope first came online in 2022, it immediately spotted something astronomers had never seen before: "little red dots" peppering the ancient expanse of deep space, originating from around when the universe was just one billion years old. Ever since, we've struggled to explain what these faint signals could be. The prevailing theory is that they're some kind of extremely compact galaxy.

Your Motorola phone has a secret way to make your PIN more secure. Here’s how to use it

Joe Maring / Android Authority A secure Android phone is a healthy Android phone. If you’re like me, the primary line of defense for your phone is a PIN. Sure, you may also use your phone’s fingerprint sensor or face unlock, but it’s your PIN or password that’s ultimately keeping your data secure. PINs work the same on all Android phones: you enter the correct PIN to unlock your phone, and if you enter the wrong one multiple times, you’re temporarily locked out. And as we all know, the longer

That statement still stands, but with one small twist: LastPass is now the number one password manager everyone should stay far away from. The reason for this? Multiple rounds of leaks and a series of security vulnerabilities.
