iOS 26 is full of new features for the Music app, including more expansive animated album art, in-app support for Apple Music Replay, and new pinning options. Perhaps the most impressive new Apple Music feature of all, however, is a new AutoMix. Here’s how it works. Apple explains that AutoMix in Apple Music uses artificial intelligence to analyze the audio features of your music to seamlessly create transitions between songs.

It functions much like the more expensive models, with an internal 65-liter-capacity orb that rotates and catches clumps with a plastic grate, depositing them into a bag-lined box below.

Telephone Exchanges in the UK

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-01 10:33:43

For more than a century the telephone exchange has formed the backbone of our telecommunications system. A vast array of more than 5,500 mostly nondescript buildings sit unnoticed on city, town or village streets, and quietly link up more than 254 million kilometres of cables and wires – keeping people in the UK connected to each other and the rest of the world. Since the first telephone exchange was established in London in 1879 with just eight subscribers, these anonymous looking buildings ha

Father's Day is coming up and, if you're like me, you're searching for the perfect movie to watch on the big day. Well, as a dad myself, I can easily find comfort in the tried and true classics like National Lampoon's Vacation, Once Upon a Time in America or even The Shawshank Redemption.

Former Tesla Dealership Manager Says It's "Game Over" for Elon Musk
