‘The Muppet Show’ Is Getting a 50th Anniversary Disney+ Special

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-18 09:25:08

After a pair of pilots made in 1974 and 1975, The Muppet Show officially hit the airwaves in 1976—which means 2026 marks an important milestone for Kermit the Frog and his pals. To celebrate the big 50th anniversary, Disney+ will air a one-off special in the much-loved variety show format, with pop star Sabrina Carpenter as a featured guest. In addition, the Hollywood Reporter writes that there’s the potential for the special to turn into a “backdoor pilot” for a future Muppet Show revival. Th

Over the last several years, CarPlay’s new features have been rare and few. But between CarPlay Ultra’s launch and everything new in iOS 26 for standard CarPlay, things have quickly changed. Here’s what’s new in iOS 26, CarPlay’s biggest update in years. New ‘Liquid Glass’ design and wallpapers As part of Apple’s cross-platform design revamp this year, the new Liquid Glass look of iOS 26 extends to the car too.

BMW says CarPlay Ultra is ‘not so exciting,’ disputes CarPlay popularity

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-09-26 09:31:11

CarPlay Ultra officially launched earlier this year, but one of the automakers who has so far said “no” to supporting Apple’s system—BMW—has just explained the reasoning for their decision. CarPlay’s future at BMW doesn’t appear very bright At a recent press event, BMW’s Senior Vice President of UI/UX Development, Stephan Durach, didn’t have very positive things to say about CarPlay Ultra. Steven Paul writes at BMWBLOG: “If you take a look at it, what I saw so far, it’s not so exciting,” Dur

In 2021, “intellectual dark web” OG and Israeli-government stan Bari Weiss announced the launch of her own university. In case you don’t remember, the “intellectual dark web” was a term coined by one of its own proponents (Eric Weinstein) and used to market a breed of new pundits and influencers, like Joe Rogan, who sprang up during the first Trump administration.

The update also removes many of the existing wallpaper options that were still hanging around from older iOS versions. CarPlay in iOS 26 includes nine wallpaper choices. Each wallpaper changes its appearance for light and dark mode, creating 18 possible options.

CarPlay in iOS 26 enables ‘video in the car’, but there’s a catch

Apple is making a major U-turn with CarPlay after a decade of not allowing video playback. Starting with iOS 26, Apple will allow apps to display video through the CarPlay screen while parked. Support, however, is a big question mark for now. The new capability falls under the name ‘video in the car’ and is mentioned on Apple’s developer website for CarPlay: AirPlay video in the car enables people to watch their favorite videos from iPhone right on their CarPlay display when they aren’t drivi

How Often Should You Vacuum to Get Rid of Microplastics and Other Particulates? (2025)

wired.com Nena Farrell 2025-10-10 05:04:00

Global Earth Day published studies that found pets and babies are especially at risk for microplastic exposure from household dust. Both household members stay low to the ground—closer to dust, microplastics, and particulates that are invisible to the naked eye on carpets and floors—and put everything in their mouths, making it easier for them to ingest microplastic dust that could be on those objects. While that household dust could be anywhere in your home, carpet turns out to have its own is

Warp Code: the fastest way from prompt to production

The primary use case here is small edits to agent-generated code – because sometimes a hand-edit is faster than re-prompting; like when you just want to change a variable name, edit a bit of copy, or rewrite a small function. We also shipped a simple file tree for browsing, opening, and adding files as context, as well as file opening and creation using the file palette (cmd-O). We aren’t trying to rebuild an IDE here – we think the ADE approach is where things are headed. But, we do see the v
