Although 20 minutes is not enough to fully understand Funeral seasonsI’m already intrigued. And I didn’t expect it. The repeatable loop of agricultural simulations like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing and the rest never really stuck with me. However, tracking down a mysterious killer? During the carrot harvest? With a possible supernatural threat? I would lose time in this loop. The game begins with you taking over a run-down farm (and homestead) where it’s up to you to get the farm back up and running while befriending the neighboring residents. A few days into your farming “journey” (clearing, plowing, planting seeds,…

Apple yesterday detailed several updates coming to Apple Music in iOS 27, including redesigned artist and album pages, upgraded AutoMix functionality, and a suite of performance improvements. The most immediately visible change is a refreshed artist page, which now features a prominent shuffle button, a new artist name display, and various other layout tweaks. Apple also says album pages have been updated, although no visible changes are apparent in the first iOS 27 developer beta. AutoMix, Apple’s AI-powered feature that mixes songs using the corresponding key and tempo, has also been upgraded. Apple says it has improved the underlying algorithms…
When you think of 1960s technology, you probably imagine things like the space race or nostalgic gadgets that all baby boomers remember using back then. Although much of it seems outdated in 2026, the 1960s were a time of incredible technological advancement. It was the decade when humanity successfully landed on the Moon, and inventions like the laser, Kevlar, and the artificial heart quickly proved their usefulness. However, other designs from the decade would not be widely used until much later. For some of them, the technology was not yet ready to enable widespread…
Apple adds native support for ultrawide display in macOS 27 Golden Gate, bringing higher resolutions and persistent display layouts to users of widescreen monitors. The update allows ultrawide displays to operate at resolutions up to 5K at 120Hz. Apple also says that display layouts are now preserved between connections, so the layout is automatically restored exactly as the user left it each time they log in. This feature addresses a long-standing problem for Mac users with ultra-wide configurations, who previously had to work around limited native resolution options or manually reconfigure their display layouts after each connection. macOS 27 Golden…
Archive Tom Kelley/Getty Images It’s always interesting to view technological development not only in terms of prospective future developments, but also as a gigantic continuum of devices that have come before us. For example, members of Generation The electronic devices you grow up with leave an indelible mark on your memory, even if you weren’t personally the one using them. Whether one of your parents worked at home on an electric typewriter or your entire family was excited about your first color television, these devices not only made their mark…
macOS 27 Golden Gate brings a major improvement to iPhone mirroring, allowing users to resize the window beyond the iPhone’s fixed aspect ratio for the first time. Until now, iPhone Mirroring was limited to the iPhone’s native image format in a small window. Users could adjust the overall size of the window somewhat, but its proportions remained locked. With macOS 27, users can now change the aspect ratio of the iPhone Mirroring window itself, providing significantly more flexibility for workflows that rely on this feature. The update was revealed in Apple’s Platforms State of the Union address. Multiple fixed aspect…
Apple’s first iOS 27 developer beta, released Monday, includes a new feature in the Find My app that lets you temporarily hide your location from certain people. A new “Hide Location” option appears in the user’s Find My Map in the People section, under “My Location.” Tapping it temporarily hides your location for 12 hours before returning to your previous shared location state. When enabled, the option changes to “Show Location”. As far as it currently works, enabling the feature doesn’t seem to notify the person that you’re hiding your location from them – your Find My card simply logs…
Denisfilm/Getty Images Throughout the history of rocketry and spaceflight, rocket engines have always used two distinct types of fuel, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Liquid fuel rockets store fuel and oxidizer separately and are brought together in a combustion chamber where combustion occurs. Solid fuel rockets are packaged in rocket cylinders and can be stored for long periods of time and will only burn when exposed to the heat of an igniter. While liquid fuel rockets can be stopped by stopping the flow of fuel, solid rockets cannot…
Apple held its WWDC 2026 State of the Platform Union yesterday, detailing a wide range of updates to its developer tools and platforms, headlined by a major expansion of the Foundation Models framework. The main announcement was free access to Apple Foundation models running on Private Cloud Compute for developers with fewer than two million first downloads from the App Store, removing infrastructure costs that were a barrier to building AI-driven features. The framework also benefits from image grabbing support, server-side template integration allowing developers to call third-party templates like Claude and Gemini through the same Swift API, and a…
Apple in iOS 27 made a small but significant change to how the Now Playing widget works on your iPhone’s lock screen: you can now swipe it to get rid of it. Previously, there was no way to close the Now Playing interface on the lock screen. But in the first iOS 27 developer build released yesterday, swiping left on the playback controls slides a Clear button in from the right. Clearing the screen controls also removes the smaller Now Playing widget from the dynamic island. It’s not yet clear how to bring widgets back immediately – like 9to5Mac notes,…
