9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-16 12:49:57

Just as Apple inches closer to winning EU approval for its latest App Store changes, Spain’s competition watchdog is expanding its own investigation, citing “new evidence” related to Apple’s developer pricing rules. Here are the details. Back in July 2024, the Spanish National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) launched a probe accusing Apple of “imposing unfair commercial conditions” on developers who distribute apps through the App Store.

If you’ve been an engineer for any length of time, then you’ll probably recognize these truths about software. It’s not predictable. Estimations are hard unless you’ve done it before. And if you’ve done it before, it already exists. Requirements are in constant flux. The customer is always right, except when their telling you how to design a feature. Shit happens.

Deadly ‘Wet-Bulb’ Temperatures Are Smothering the Eastern U.S.

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-02-16 11:00:40

An oppressive heat dome has gripped the eastern U.S. this week, prompting the National Weather Service (NWS) to issue heat warnings for nearly 170 million Americans. To make matters worse, severe humidity is making high temperatures feel even hotter. Extreme heat and humidity make for a deadly combination. The human body lowers its temperature by sweating, and when sweat evaporates, it cools the surface of the skin. Humidity slows this process down, increasing the risk of heat-related illness.

Think you can tell a fake image from a real one? Microsoft's quiz will test you

Through the looking glass: When AI image generators first emerged, misinformation immediately became a major concern. Although repeated exposure to AI-generated imagery can build some resistance, a recent Microsoft study suggests that certain types of real and fake images can still deceive almost anyone. The study found that humans can accurately distinguish real photos from AI-generated ones about 63% of the time. In contrast, Microsoft's in-development AI detection tool reportedly achieves a
