macOS Tahoe 26 beta 2 changes Finder icon

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-09-16 03:14:37

Apple has restored decades of precedent and restored color balance to the Finder icon in macOS Tahoe 26 beta 2. A controversial change in beta 1 was met with a healthy dose of criticism. The issue? Finder has a dark side and a light side. The dark side is located on the left half of the face while the light side makes up the right half. Finder in macOS Tahoe 26 reversed this arrangement (while using an outline effect around the right side). The new version restores balance to the universe (whi

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-16 03:15:14

The ending of 28 Years Later flips the entire movie on its head. After almost two hours of dread and pain, the film ends on a high-energy, seemingly out-of-left-field action sequence that leaves almost every audience member scratching their head. What the hell was that? What is the point? Well, clearly, you can interpret it however you’d like, but director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland do have some thoughts on the matter. In the film, the main character Spike leaves his protected home to

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google has reportedly reduced the budget for its smart TV group by 10%. Despite the reduction, the company promises “an exciting road map ahead.” Up to a quarter of the members of the 300-strong group could be impacted by the change.

Interesting Bits of Postgres Grammar

I’ve been working on Squawk for a while, it’s a linter for PostgreSQL, and it now uses a handmade parser. So let’s explore some interesting bits from the Postgres grammar. Custom Operators Very few operators are defined in the grammar itself and lots of Postgres features rely on custom operators. For example, Postgres uses <-> for comparing geometric types, along with a whole host of others: ## , @-@ , # , @> , <@> , &< , &> , |>> , |<< , <^ , >^ , ?- , ?| , ?|| , ~= . Note: custom operator

The New ‘Weapons’ Trailer Promises ‘a Lot of People Die in a Lot of Really Weird Ways’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-16 07:30:20

So far the marketing for Weapons is looking like 2025’s slightly more accessible answer to last year’s Longlegs: freaky and distressing, and promising exponentially more of the same from the feature itself. A first trailer gave a little more insight into the movie’s plot, and a retro-styled website plays up its true-crime angle. Now Weapons is back with a second clip to set the dread-filled mood even more. We see a bewildered teacher (Julia Garner) being blamed for a class of missing kids, with

Donald Trump and Sean Hannity Set Off a Wave of Disinformation After Iran Bombing

President Donald Trump and his most vocal supporters have been using disinformation, fake videos, and mental gymnastics to try to spin the US military’s bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites as a complete and total victory that signals the end of a war instead of the beginning.
