The European Commission responded to Apple’s announcement that Siri AI would not launch in the EU, saying the decision was entirely up to Apple and that the company was seeking an exemption from its legal obligations rather than a compliant solution. Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier told reporters in Brussels (via Reuters) that Apple had failed to develop interoperability solutions that met EU privacy and security standards and instead asked to get away with it altogether. The decision not to deploy Siri AI in the EU is solely up to Apple and Apple. Apple has simply been unable to develop interoperability…
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,…

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 Although much of it seems outdated in 2026, the 1960s were a time of incredible technological advancement.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…
