As spotted by Sigmund Judge, Apple is continuing its marketing blitz for F1: The Movie, which lands at the box office on June 27 and will stream on Apple TV+ later in the year. Apple is certainly going out of its way to push awareness of the film. We’ve already seen Apple release a special haptic trailer, kickoff WWDC with a F1 sketch, Tim Cook and Brad Pitt made a surprise appearance at the Fifth Avenue Apple Store at the weekend, among many other media interviews.

A deep-dive explainer on Ink and Switch's BeeKEM protocol

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-12 13:02:21

I’ve spent the last year working on local-first apps, most recently with Muni Town. For me, ‘local-first’ isn’t just a technical architecture — it’s a political and social stance. It’s about shifting control: from remote servers and top-down central authorities deciding how data, workflows, and communities operate, to individuals and communities reclaiming that control and gaining autonomy. Seen this way, privacy and consent aren’t add-ons — they’re foundational, just as critical as sync or data

As Doctor Who‘s ongoing future remains in flux (no, not that flux), fans remain waiting to hear for any sign that news on the security of that future is on the way. Well, in its latest development, there’s good news and bad news: but in the middle of that is the fact that all of this still remains so vague that you’re free to take it however you want.

Keep accidentally opening Chrome tabs in new groups? There’s an easy fix

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Chrome’s been playing around with menu ordering for opening links in new tabs over the past couple years. If you’re used to opening tabs in groups, you may have a preference for where that selection falls in the list. Chrome now offers a flag that gives users full control over that order.

Palantir’s CEO Throws Money Behind Andrew Cuomo in NYC Mayoral Race

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-03-13 03:50:53

Alex Karp, the billionaire CEO of creepy defense contractor Palantir, has taken a side in New York’s closely watched mayoral race. Karp, who once bragged that his company kills people, recently gave a large sum of money to a Super PAC that is supporting the campaign of former New York governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is currently running against Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old assemblyman for the city’s 36th district in Queens. The race between the two candidates has become a referendum on New York’s

Waymo's autonomous cars are heading back to New York City in July, the company announced today. Cars will be manually driven for now, not unlike the mapping tests Waymo ran in 2021, but the company says it ultimately wants to bring the same autonomous ride-hailing service it offers in San Francisco, Phoenix and Los Angeles to NYC. New York state law currently doesn't allow for the operation of a vehicle without a human driver, an obvious obstacle for a company like Waymo. As a bridge to offerin

T-Mobile’s new prepaid plans look great on paper, but is there a catch?

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T‑Mobile is shaking up its prepaid offerings with three plans, ranging from $40 to $60 per month for one line. The new plans largely look like an upgrade, but there are a few possible catches around prioritization and family discounts.
