engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-18 08:45:22

Dalia is a death cleaner. Death cleaning, as we know it, is the process of sanitizing and tidying the spaces where people take their final breaths, sometimes long after their bodies have begun to decompose. It’s a job here on Earth in the year 2025, but Dalia’s version of death cleaning takes place on the rings of Saturn in a distant future filled with space travel, interplanetary colonization and devastating disease outbreaks.

"Vibe" coding? Try vape coding. Either the most sober — or the most nicotine-addled — individual of all time has done the improbable: hosting an entire website on a single disposable e-cigarette. According to programmer Bogdan Ionescu, it's a stunt that's meant to demonstrate just how ridiculously tricked out even one-and-done vapes have become, he shared on his blog last week.

2025 Deciding on whether to get an iPhone 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max couldn’t be easier. These two “pro” phones have no compromises.

Apple is basically saying, “F*ck all that skinny noise, let’s throw everything but the kitchen sink at them.” Even better cameras on the front and back? Check. The longest battery life of any iPhone?

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR iOS 26 is out now for iPhone users, and many have been reporting problems with Liquid Glass dark mode icons looking crooked. The system renders these icons with a highlight around the edge, and at the wrong angle, an illusion can make them appear tilted. In motion, the effect should be far less noticeable, but screenshots can still look very off.
