Apple's new iPhone charger dynamically switches between 40 and 60W

If you want a powerful phone charger in the smallest size possible, Apple has the answer — but there is a tradeoff. The company's new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter is the first charger to support the USB PD 3.2 AVS (adjustable voltage supply) protocol so it can hit up to 60W, but only for a limited time. It was designed to work the company's new iPhone 17 models with faster charging speeds than previous iPhones. Lugging heavy chargers is a particularly bugbear of mine so the Dynamic Power Adapter s

Rumor: smaller Dynamic Island but no under-screen Face ID for iPhone 18

As Apple continues towards their goal of a true all-screen iPhone, it looks like the iPhone 18 will get them one step closer. There have long been conflicting rumors on when the Dynamic Island might finally see a design update. Most recently, it was rumored that the iPhone 17 may have a smaller Dynamic Island, but that of course didn’t pan out. However, according to Instant Digital on Weibo, the iPhone 18 lineup will see a narrower Dynamic Island cutout, but will not yet be making the move to a

Rocket Report: Neutron’s pad opens for business; SpaceX gets Falcon 9 green light

Welcome to Edition 8.09 of the Rocket Report! The biggest news of the week happened inside the Beltway rather than on a launch pad somewhere. In Washington, DC, Congress has pushed back on the Trump administration's plan to stop flying the Space Launch System rocket after Artemis III. Congress made it clear that it wants to keep the booster in business for a long time. The big question now is whether the Trump White House will blink. As always, we welcome reader submissions, and if you don't wa

Implementing dynamic scope for Fennel and Lua

I’m continuing my work on fennel-cljlib, my port of clojure.core and some other core libraries, focusing on porting missing functions and features to it. One such feature, which I sometimes miss in Lua and Fennel, is dynamic binding. The Lua VM doesn’t provide dynamic scoping as a language feature, and Fennel itself doesn’t introduce any concepts like Clojure’s Var . However, we can still implement dynamic scoping that works similarly to Clojure and other Lisps using the debug library. Most of

Satya Nadella seeks to reassure Microsoft employees in layoffs memo

I also want to acknowledge the uncertainty and seeming incongruence of the times we’re in. By every objective measure, Microsoft is thriving — our market performance, strategic positioning, and growth all point up and to the right. We’re investing more in CapEx than ever before. Our overall headcount is relatively unchanged, and some of the talent and expertise in our industry and at Microsoft is being recognized and rewarded at levels never seen before. And yet, at the same time, we’ve undergon

“Dynamic programming” is not referring to “computer programming”

When seeing the phrase “dynamic programming” in an algorithms class or leetcode study guide, the first question people ask is “what does ‘dynamic’ mean in this context?”. The key question is instead “what does ‘programming’ mean in this context?”, because it does not mean “computer programming”.

Apple patent hints at massive leap in camera sensor tech, nearing human eye dynamic range

Apple is investigating new image sensor technology that promises up to 20 stops of dynamic range. That’s a level that surpasses the ARRI ALEXA 35, and gets really close to matching the dynamic range of the average human eye.

Boston Dynamics robots dance to ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ for ‘America’s Got Talent’ audition

A dance crew of four-legged robots from Boston Dynamics appeared on “America’s Got Talent” to perform a synchronized routine to Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now.” Their performance was impressive enough to earn four “yes” votes from the judges — but one of the five robots experienced some stage fright, perhaps, and shut down in the middle of the routine. But the show must go on, so nevertheless, the four other robots persisted. “Can I be honest with you?” judge Simon Cowell asked at the conclusion o
