Chatbox app is back on the US app store

Hello everyone, I have great news to share: After three months of fighting, our Chatbox app is finally back on the U.S. App Store! 🎉 What happened? In April 2025, another company with an app of the same name filed a dispute with Apple, claiming they held a trademark for the word “Chatbox.” I believe this claim was baseless, because: "Chatbox" is a widely used, generic word across the internet, and their trademark application had already been initially rejected by the USPTO.

iPhone Air offers a new feature never seen in a single-camera iPhone

9to5mac.com Dylan Mcdonald 2025-10-01 07:28:55

Apple has been including Portrait Mode on iPhone models with only one back camera since the iPhone XR, but the iPhone Air is the first one to get a fully-featured Portrait Mode. A brief history When Apple introduced the iPhone XR, one of the headlining features was how it could take “dramatic portraits using a single camera lens”. However, these portraits were limited to just people and pets. So, if you wanted to take a portrait photo of something like a flower, you could not. Similarly, the

The all-electric Ram 1500 REV pickup truck is dead. Long live the extended-range Ram 1500 REV (once called the Ramcharger). Stellantis, the parent company of Ram, said Friday that it will no longer develop a battery-electric full-size pickup. The company cited low demand for full-size battery-electric trucks as the primary reason, according to a statement sent to TechCrunch and posted on its website. “As demand for full-size battery-electric trucks slows in North America, Stellantis is reasses

When Astronauts Enter Space, a "Dark Genome" Activates in Their DNA

Image by Getty / NASA / Futurism Studies Researchers have found that human stem cells are constantly under stress in the microgravity of space — activating hidden, ancient sections of DNA called the "dark genome." In a study published in the journal Cell Stem Cell last week, a team of researchers led by Sanford Stem Cell Institute director Catriona Jamieson used a cellphone-sized device on board the International Space Station to watch how stem cells behave in space for the first time.

Why the Oracle-OpenAI deal caught Wall Street by surprise

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-01 19:01:41

This week, OpenAI and Oracle shocked the markets with a surprise $300 billion, five-year agreement, part of a surge of new business that sent the cloud provider’s stock skyrocketing. But maybe the markets shouldn’t have been taken by surprise. The deal is a reminder that, despite Oracle’s legacy status, the company still plays a major role in AI infrastructure. On the OpenAI side, the agreement was more revealing than the lack of details suggest. For one, the startup’s willingness to pay so muc

Balatro's big 2025 update won't be coming out this year after all

Developer LocalThunk just announced it will not be coming out in 2025, despite previously promising a release this year. Instead, it'll come out "when it's done."

I don't like curved displays The vast majority of media uses rectilinear lenses, where straight lines in 3D remain straight in a 2D image: Each light ray lands on a flat rectangle that lies between the viewpoint and the light source, so viewing the image on a flat screen looks exactly the same as how it originally appeared.
