Apple has released the iOS 26.5 public beta, opening the door for anyone to try it early. It arrives just days after the developer version, but it doesn’t deliver the kind of upgrade most iPhone users have been waiting for. The bigger story here is what’s not included. There’s still no sign of the anticipated AI-driven Siri overhaul, which was expected to be a headline feature. Without that, the update feels more like a holding pattern than a meaningful step forward. What’s left is a set of smaller changes that don’t significantly alter how your iPhone works day to day.…

There’s a very specific kind of frustration every gamer understands — you step away for a quick bite, come back, and your character is idle, your mission has failed, or worse, you’ve been kicked out of the session. It’s a small break with disproportionately large consequences. Despite all the advancements in gaming, this oddly universal problem has never really gone away. A fast-food fix for a fast-paced problem Leaning into how people actually live today, McDonald’s Türkiye is doing something thoughtful. As home-based entertainment and gaming continue to grow, convenience now means more than quick delivery. That insight has led…

3D printing is supposed to make prototyping easier, but anyone who’s used it knows the pain. You design something, hit print, wait hours… and then realize it looks nothing like what you imagined. Wrong texture, weird color shifts, or just an overall “this isn’t it” moment. Now, researchers at MIT think they’ve found a fix for that exact headache. MIT’s new tool tackles a classic 3D-printing frustration The team has developed a new preview system called VisiPrint, designed to show users what a 3D-printed object will actually look like before printing it. Unlike traditional tools that focus on structure and…

We have all been there. A delayed text reply suddenly means something is wrong. A neutral comment feels oddly critical. A small situation spirals into a full-blown worst-case scenario in seconds. That mental shortcut, where the brain jumps straight to a negative conclusion, is called interpretation bias. And for people dealing with anxiety or depression, it is not just occasional overthinking; it can shape how they feel, react, and function every single day.  It will soften the way you read the world Researchers at Mass General Brigham are trying to tackle exactly this problem with a new digital tool called HabitWorks.…

NASA has shared a stunning image (above) captured by the crew of the Artemis II mission as they head toward the moon. It shows a tiny Earth, mostly in darkness and surrounded by the inky blackness of space. The photo was taken on day four of the Artemis II mission that will see four astronauts fly around the moon before returning to Earth. On Monday, the crew — NASA’s Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Christina Koch, along with Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency — will loop around our nearest neighbor, setting a new flight record in the process.…

Samsung could be preparing to shake up its audio lineup with a radically different kind of earbuds – ones that don’t even rely on your ear canal. According to recent leaks, the company is working on a new product, possibly called “Galaxy Buds Able,” and early signs suggest these could use bone conduction technology instead of traditional speaker drivers. Multiple leaks and certifications, including a recent appearance on India’s BIS database, indicate that the product is actively in development. While details remain limited, the unusual model numbering and repeated references across sources hint that this isn’t just another incremental Galaxy…

A growing number of bars and restaurants across the United States are embracing a phone-free experience, reflecting a broader cultural shift toward reducing screen time and encouraging real-world connection. From upscale supper clubs to neighborhood cocktail bars, establishments are introducing policies that either restrict phone usage or actively incentivize guests to put their devices away. At the heart of this trend is a rising awareness of the negative effects smartphones and social media can have on attention, memory, and interpersonal relationships. Studies continue to highlight how constant digital engagement impacts learning, socialization, and even self-esteem. With Americans reportedly checking their…

Samsung is finally doing what it probably should’ve done years ago: killing its own Messages app. And while this might sound like just another app shutdown, this isn’t just a feature getting deprecated. It’s Samsung basically saying, “Yeah, just use Google’s app instead.” Samsung Messages is officially getting the boot Samsung has officially announced that its native Messages app will be discontinued in July 2026, with users being pushed toward Google Messages as the default replacement. Once the cutoff hits, Samsung Messages won’t function like a normal texting app anymore, and in most cases, users will need to switch if…

Astronauts floating in space using what looks like “old tech” might sound bizarre at first. But as it turns out, there’s a very practical reason behind it. And no, it’s not because NASA is stuck in the past. A recent explanation from NASA spaceflight expert Jason Hutt sheds light on why missions like Artemis still rely on aging hardware, including older Windows tablets. Why NASA still uses “old” tech in space According to Hutt, it all comes down to testing, cost, and reliability. Space hardware isn’t something you can just swap out every year like a smartphone. Every single component…

Smartphones pretending to be gaming machines isn’t new, but the Pixel 10 just did something that actually feels a bit wild. You can now run full-fledged Steam PC games on it. Offline. On a phone. And no, this isn’t cloud streaming or some remote desktop trick. This is proper local emulation, and for Pixel users, that’s a pretty big deal. Pixel 10 can now run Steam games (and finally, properly) The big unlock comes from GameNative 0.9.0, which adds initial support for the Pixel 10’s PowerVR GPU, something most Android PC emulators have historically ignored. Emulation on Android has long…
