The iPad Is a Full-On Computer Now

wired.com Luke Larsen 2026-03-21 16:59:09

“This is what you've all been waiting for.” That's what Craig Federighi stated with a gleeful grin on his face as he introduced the latest changes to the iPad at Apple's WWDC25 keynote. He wasn't talking about new iPad hardware, new software features, or AI implementation that didn't suck. He was talking about windows. You know, those things that computers have. With the release of iPadOS 26, Apple gives these tablets the ability to use conventional windowing—and iPads will never be the same.

The UK Accelerates Its Self-Driving Car Ambitions

wired.com Aarian Marshall 2026-03-22 02:30:00

Slow and steady. When it comes to autonomous vehicles on city roads, that’s been the approach in most of the world’s countries. But on Tuesday, the UK announced it would put a cautious foot on the pedal, when the Department of Transport said it would accelerate plans to allow companies to operate self-driving cars on public roads in limited pilot programs starting spring of next year. The British government had initially planned to open up its roads for self-driving vehicles more than a year la

Sony WH-1000XM6 vs. Bose QuietComfort Ultra: Which Is Best?

wired.com Ryan Waniata 2026-03-22 07:03:00

Every couple of years, Bose and Sony trade blows in an effort to claim the title of the best noise-canceling headphones you can buy. Until recently, Bose's QuietComfort Ultra (9/10, WIRED Recommends) had the edge, offering world-crushing cancellation that bested Sony's still-great WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) and other top models from the likes of JBL, Sonos, and Apple. Now, Sony's back with its latest WH-1000 model, the predictably titled WH-1000XM6 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). The new pai

The Viral Storm Streamers Predicting Deadly Tornadoes—Sometimes Faster Than the Government

My Virtual Avatar No Longer Looks Terrible in the Apple Vision Pro

Remember Apple’s Vision Pro? That's the $3,499 mixed reality headset the company launched early in 2024 that failed to garner much public interest. Apple has steamed ahead with updates for the platform over the past year, and soon there will be a new version upgrade: visionOS 26. (Apple announced at WWDC it was changing the way it named its operating systems to match the following year.) I got a chance to try out a few of the new capabilities, but two stuck out to me more than the others. First

ChatGPT will avoid being shut down in some life-threatening scenarios, former OpenAI researcher claims

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2026-03-23 10:30:00

Former OpenAI research leader Steven Adler published a new independent study on Wednesday claiming that, in certain scenarios, his former employer’s AI models will go to great lengths to try to avoid being shut down. In a blog post, Adler describes a series of experiments he ran on OpenAI’s latest GPT-4o model, the default model available in ChatGPT, to test the AI’s tendency to favor its own self-preservation, even if it’s at the expense of a user’s safety. In one test, Adler instructed GPT-4

Yocto, RockPi and SBOMs: Building modern embedded Linux images

DOGE Sparks Surveillance Fear Across the US Government

This month, Andrew Bernier, a US Army Corps of Engineers researcher and a union leader, says that he has received a barrage of menacing messages from the same anonymous email account. Unfolding like short chapters in a dystopian novel, they have spoken of the genius of Elon Musk, referenced the power of the billionaire’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and foretold the downfall of “corrupt” union bosses.

Scientists spent 10 years on a superbug mystery - Google's AI solved it in 48 hours

What just happened? Researchers at Imperial College London say an artificial intelligence-based science tool created by Google needed just 48 hours to solve a problem that took them roughly a decade to answer and verify on their own. The tool in question is called "co-scientist" and the problem they presented it with was straightforward enough: why are some superbugs resistant to antibiotics?

Moroi preview: A grimdark action game that's actually pretty funny

The most surprising thing about Moroi is its sense of humor.

In the first area of the map, there’s a cell containing a sentient meat grinder that craves human flesh.

At $599, it strikes a balance on specs, which is the soft and cosy way to say it doesn’t have everything. It has a lot, though.

The Next iPad Needs an iPhone 16E Moment. But Will Its Cost Go Up, Too?

cnet.com Scott Stein 2025-11-17 23:00:00

Apple gave us a February surprise this year, launching a new entry-level iPhone ahead of schedule. The iPhone 16E is full of most of the things people want in an iPhone, plus hosts many features of the iPhone 16. But, while it's entry-level, it's not low-cost. As I wait for a new iPad to replace Apple's 10th-gen iPad base model, likely coming in the next month or so, I'm encouraged and concerned that Apple will follow a similar path as the 16E. Actually, it seems inevitable. But maybe I'm wrong.
