The update brings call screening, new ringtones and lots of hidden feature for your iPhone. It also brings seven new ringtones to your device. Many of the new ringtones are remixed versions of the Reflection ringtone.

Someone Finally Got the Note and Fixed This ‘Beetlejuice’ Sign

If you’re a movie prop replica collector, you know exactly which Beetlejuice sign we’re talking about. For years, as a Beetlejuice decor hunter, there has been one item I refused to buy on principle because it had one glaring mistake: it was not in-universe accurate. I’ve bought the Adam and Barbara monster face hanging decor, the inflatable Sandworm for my lawn, and the “Here Lies Betelgeuse” tombstone—but never the iconic light-up sign due to the fact that it always featured the ghost with th

All-Clad Gas Pizza Oven Review (2025): A Pie That Rotates Itself

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2025-10-02 09:07:00

This pizza oven goes to 11. At least it says it does. A mere 20 minutes or so after firing up the new All-Clad Gas Pizza Oven—the beloved pot-and-pan brand’s first real foray into outdoor cooking—the oven's temperature gauge has gone deep into uncharted territory. The dial’s markings top out at around 900 degrees Fahrenheit, but the thermometer’s needle is somewhere in no man’s land, well above what might register as a thousand if its thermometer weren’t busy shrugging.

New Bacteria Discovered in Flies Could Sicken Humans

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-07 01:35:14

A new species of bacteria has come to light in Brazil. It’s genetically similar to two other disease-causing bacteria from the Andes, which are known to infect humans through sand fly bites. According to a study published this summer in the journal Acta Tropica, researchers have discovered a new bacteria species in phlebotomine insects (sand flies) in the Amazon National Park in Brazil’s state of Pará. Its DNA is similar to that of two Andean bacteria in Peru, Bartonella bacilliformis and Barto

Ceretone Core One Pro Hearing Aids Review: A Blunt Instrument

Ceretone, born on Indiegogo, hit the scene last year with impressively tiny hardware that still remains one of the smallest and lightest hearing aids I’ve ever reviewed. At just 0.96 grams each, the Ceretone Core One were so light they threatened to blow away in the wind. With a price of $349 per pair, they had a similarly minimal effect on your bank account. The trouble with the original Ceretone Core One is that they just weren’t very good as hearing aids. They were not tunable, suffered from

Unsurprisingly, this approach takes a long time, is cost-intensive, and usually identifies fewer earthquakes. Machine learning has now changed virtually everything.
