macOS apps can now render 3D scenes directly on Apple Vision Pro, hinting at a tethered headset

Apple’s WWDC25 developer sessions are packed with interesting tidbits that didn’t get stage time on the keynote or the State of the Union presentation. One in particular, highlighted briefly during What’s new in SwiftUI, could offer the first real hint at where visionOS is heading next. A couple of months ago, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple was readying two new Vision Pro headsets. One aims to be lighter and more affordable than the current version, while the other is said to be a

The Fujifilm X-E5 is basically an interchangeable lens X100VI

If you have ever looked at the X100VI said to yourself, "Man, I wish Fujifilm would just make an interchangeable lens version of this camera," consider your request answered. Four years after the release of the X-E4, the company has announced the X-E5, a compact, $1,699.95 camera that should appeal to the same crowd that loves X100VI. Inside, the X-E5 has Fujifilm's latest X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor. That's the same sensor you'll find on the X100VI, X-T5 and X-T50. It's capable of capturing 40.2-

The official Japanese Silent Hill account on X later clarified that Bloober is modernizing the original 1999 entry. Back in February, it emerged that Bloober is making a new title based on Kona

macOS Tahoe brings a new disk image format

Disk images have been valuable tools marred by poor performance. In the wrong circumstances, an encrypted sparse image (UDSP) stored on the blazingly fast internal SSD of an Apple silicon Mac may write files no faster than 100 MB/s, typical for a cheap hard drive. One of the important new features introduced in macOS 26 Tahoe is a new disk image format that can achieve near-native speeds: ASIF, documented here. This has been detailed as a major improvement in lightweight virtualisation, where i

Blue Origin Delays New Glenn Again—and It’s a Bigger Setback Than It Seems

After gaining momentum last year, Jeff Bezos’ rocket venture has hit another snag. The second flight of Blue Origin’s New Glenn slipped from early spring to late August, messing with the company’s original plan to launch its giant rocket eight times in 2025. Beyond missing launch targets, New Glenn’s recent delay also puts Project Kuiper—the internet satellites owned by Amazon—at risk of losing a critical operations license. This week, Dave Limp, the chief executive of Blue Origin, announced th

Nothing’s new Phone 3 will be available on general sale in the US

Smartphone startup Nothing will sell its next flagship model, the Nothing Phone (3), in the U.S. through its website and Amazon, TechCrunch has exclusively learned.

OpenAI and Barbie-maker Mattel team up to bring generative AI to toy-making, other products

Barbie-maker Mattel and OpenAI have teamed up to bring generative AI to the toy-making and ever-expanding pipeline of IP repackaging. This partnership marks new territory for OpenAI, which has signed licensing deals with news publishers and enterprise players, but never a toy-maker. However, it’s consistent with the AI giant’s overall strategy of embedding itself across industries, and it might give OpenAI a foothold in Mattel’s growing entertainment arm. The iconic toymaker delighted grown-up

Amazon may double the time you spend watching ads on Prime Video

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A new report says Prime Video is increasing its ad load to four to six minutes per hour. This doubles the amount of ad time ad-tier users were previously exposed to. In terms of lightest to heaviest ad experience, it’s said Amazon’s platform is now in the middle tier. Despite immense pushback from customers, Amazon introduced ads to Prime Video in 2024. While no one likes the idea of going from no ads to ads, at least the ad experience was light comp

Rust compiler performance

Perhaps the most often repeated complaint about Rust is its slow feedback loop and long compilation times. I hear about it all the time; in Rust podcasts, blog posts, surveys, conference talks or offline discussions. I also regularly complain about it, being a Rust user myself! Recently, in addition to the usual compile times complaints, I also started noticing the following sentiments being expressed by frustrated Rust developers: “Why doesn’t the Rust Project care more about this pressing and

Ancient Roman Street Vendors Served Up Songbirds

Ancient Romans in need of a quick bite often chowed down on fried songbirds, new research suggests. A researcher working on the island of Mallorca found bones of song thrushes inside a trash pit near the ruins of an ancient fast food joint. The study, published in May in the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, suggests that thrushes were commonly sold and consumed in Roman cities. This challenges the long-held belief that these small, speckled birds were a delicacy reserved for elite ban

CEO Says AI Will Replace So Many Jobs That It’ll Cause a Major Recession

The CEO of layaway startup Klarna is claiming that AI is coming for your white-collar jobs — even though his own experiments with replacing human workers with AI were a bust. Speaking to The Times Tech podcast, the Sweden-based CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski admitted that adoption of the technology will result in "implication[s] for white-collar jobs" that include, but are not limited to, "at least a recession in the short term." "Unfortunately, I don't see how we could avoid it, with what's happ

How to Avoid Scams and Shoddy Wares on Amazon (2025)

With a few keystrokes you can find almost anything on Amazon ... and buy it with as little as a single click. It’s a wonderbox of capitalism. I once typed in “yak” for no good reason and Amazon’s algorithms suggested “yak cheese himalayan dog chews.” So I hit Enter and up popped pages filled with hundreds of different dog chews that I have since learned are an all-natural, satisfying, long-lasting treat for pups. Amazon had over 300 Himalayan dog chews to sift through, from hundreds of companies

Apple is salvaging Image Playground with a boost from ChatGPT

When Apple unveiled Image Playground last year, the company touted it as a quick and easy way to generate personalized, original images with the help of Apple Intelligence. Upon launch, the app was met with skepticism, as some users were disappointed by its limitations and low-quality results. For example, one Reddit user was surprised to find that Image Playground kept generating an image of a hand with six fingers when prompted to create an “up close image of a hand.” In another instance, a u

Amazon promised "limited advertisements" when it announced the controversial change to bring commercials to its Prime service, forcing customers to pay an extra $2.99 on their subscription to remove the interruptions. The ads arrived on Prime in January 20

Why uranium mining is having a resurgence in the United States

From about the 1960s to the mid-1980s, the United States was a leader in uranium mining. But domestic production of the mineral, which is primarily used as fuel for nuclear reactors, has since fallen off a cliff. "A lot of this was because it was a government priority. And we strategically used government funding and subsidies to support it. However, what kind of started happening during the 90s is we saw a de-prioritization away from uranium," said Gracelin Baskaran, director of the Critical M
