Do You Really Need a New Apple Watch if You Already Have One?

Reviews for the Apple Watch SE 3, Series 11, and Ultra 3 came out today. I’m in the process of reviewing them. I only have two wrists, and there are three Apple Watches to review—so yeah. Besides, I need to collect more health data before I feel comfortable giving my definitive take. If you’re reading reviews and asking yourself whether or not you should get any of the new models when they become available this Friday, Sept. 19, maybe I can help you make a decision. As I said in my hands-on wit

Dolphin update makes GameCube and Wii games far less likely to crash

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Dolphin release 2509 turns off Dual Core mode by default on desktop, fixing common crashes. The update also adds compatibility for three tricky Disney Wii games thanks to clever hacks. Bluetooth passthrough, which enables Wii Remote support, has been patched to work with more modern Bluetooth adapters. Dolphin has long been one of the most impressive emulators around, but despite more than 20 years of development, there’s still more work to be done. In

Our favorite budget wireless earbuds are back on sale for $45

The Anker Soundcore Space A40 wireless earbuds are back on sale for a record-low price of $45 a 44 percent discount. These earbuds remain our top pick for best budget wireless earbuds. The most significant feature on the A40 earbuds is the inclusion of active noise cancellation (ANC), which is almost unheard of at this price point. It's not the most sophisticated ANC, but it does sufficiently reduce constant rumbling background noise like on a plane. The built-in mic that's used for transparenc

FDA Clears the Apple Watch for Hypertension Alerts

On Thursday the Food and Drug Administration cleared a new hypertension detection tool for the Apple Watch. The health feature was one of the highlights at Apple's September iPhone event and will alert Apple Watch owners of potential signs of high blood pressure, a condition that goes undiagnosed in millions of people. In addition to the FDA clearing Apple's chronic high blood pressure tool, the Cupertino company announced that it will be available on its watches starting next week in 150 count

Surprise! High Blood Pressure Alerts Are Coming to Your Existing Apple Watch Soon

Turns out the biggest new Apple Watch health features don't require new hardware. One of the standout moments at Apple's September iPhone event was the announcement of two new health features on the Apple Watch: hypertension notifications and a new sleep score. Hypertension notifications will alert Apple Watch owners of potential signs of high blood pressure, a condition that goes undiagnosed in millions of people. Sleep Score, meanwhile, grades the quality of your rest on a 0–100 scale. Becaus

PSA: The new Sleep Score feature works with third-party devices

Here’s one cool addition to yesterday’s information about how the Sleep Score feature works on older Apple Watch models: in fact, it even works with third-party accessories, provided they offer a sleep tracking feature. Here are the details. Sleep Score is not necessarily tied to the Apple Watch sleep tracking feature As noted by Rudrank Riyam on X, you don’t even need to own an Apple Watch to see your sleep score in the Health app on iOS 26: Sleep score is independent of the apple watch.

These older Apple Watch models will be compatible with the new Sleep Score feature

If you watched Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event, you probably came away thinking that the new Sleep Score feature would be exclusive to the new Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3. Fortunately, that’s not the case. Here’s the full compatibility list. How Sleep Score works The feature grades your sleep based on factors such as duration, bedtime consistency, whether and how often you wake up, and time spent in each sleep stage (deep, core, and REM). Once the score is calculated, Apple breaks it down

Why is Japan still investing in custom floating point accelerators?

It has taken nearly two decades and an immense amount of work by millions of people for high performance computing to go mainstream with GenAI. And now, we live in a world where AI servers crammed with accelerators account for half of the money spent on systems worldwide. There is no law anywhere that says that accelerator has to be a GPU, although that has been the accelerator of choice by far because GPUs are, like CPUs, general purpose processors that are explicitly designed to support vario

Job mismatch and early career success

How does being over- or underqualified at the beginning of a worker's career affect skill acquisition, retention, and promotion? Despite the importance of mismatch for the labor market, self-selection into jobs has made estimating these effects difficult. We overcome endogeneity concerns in the context of the US Air Force, which allocates new enlistees to over 130 different jobs based, in part, on test scores. Using these test scores, we create simulated job assignments based on factors outside

Hackers exploited Sitecore zero-day flaw to deploy backdoors

Threat actors have been exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in legacy Sitecore deployments to deploy WeepSteel reconnaissance malware. The flaw, tracked under CVE-2025-53690, is a ViewState deserialization vulnerability caused by the inclusion of a sample ASP.NET machine key in pre-2017 Sitecore guides. Some customers reused this key in production, allowing attackers with knowledge of the key to craft valid, but malicious '_VIEWSTATE' payloads that tricked the server into deserializing and exe

CoreWeave acquires agent-training startup OpenPipe

CoreWeave, which provides cloud servers to large companies training AI models, has struck an agreement to acquire OpenPipe, a 2-year-old Y Combinator-backed startup that helps enterprises develop customized AI agents with reinforcement learning, the companies announced on Wednesday. “Reinforcement learning is emerging as a pivotal force to strengthen model performance on agentic and reasoning tasks,” said Brian Venturo, Co-founder of CoreWeave, in a statement to TechCrunch. “By combining OpenPi

Intel Patents 'Software Defined Supercore'

Intel has patented a technology it calls 'Software Defined Supercore' (SDC) that enables software to fuse the capabilities of multiple cores to assemble a virtual ultra-wide 'supercore' capable of improving single-thread performance, provided that it has enough parallel work. If the technology works as it is designed to, then Intel's future CPUs could offer faster single-thread performance in select applications that can use SDC. For now, this is just a patent which may or may not become a reali

Condor's Cuzco RISC-V Core at Hot Chips 2025

Condor Computing, a subsidiary of Andes Technology that creates licensable RISC-V cores, has a business model with parallels to Arm (the company) and SiFive. Andes formed Condor in 2023, so Condor is a relatively young player on the RISC-V scene. However, Andes does have RISC-V design experience prior to Condor’s formation with a few RISC-V cores under their belt from years past. Condor is presenting their Cuzco core at Hot Chips 2025. This core is a heavyweight within the RISC-V scene, with wi

Intel's "Clearwater Forest" Xeon 7 E-Core CPU Will Be a Beast

With AMD having attaining more than 40 percent revenue share and more than 27 percent shipment share in the X86 server CPU market in the first half of 2025, that means two things. First, AMD is selling some big, fat X86 CPUs compared to Intel. It also means that Intel, despite all of its many woes, is getting nearly 60 percent of revenues and north of 72 percent of shipments for X86 server CPU here in 2025. No, that is not the share Intel is used to, but that’s life sometimes. And with the roll
