Unlike macOS and Windows, the Linux ecosystem is filled with a host of cool distributions, each featuring its own spin on the open-source platform. But for tinkerers who love working with different distros, you might end up getting tired of installing the same ol’ Debian and Arch-flavored distributions. So, here’s a list of unique Linux distributions that are as useful as they are eccentric.

The new iPhone SE will likely be limited to a single rear camera. | Image: Majin Bu We might have just gotten our best look yet at Apple’s next affordable iPhone SE, shown in both video and photographs of what’s either a real phone or a convincing dummy unit. Despite some reports that the next SE would adopt recent iPhones’ Dynamic Island design, this model appears to stick with the older notch.Leaker Majin Bu shared a short video over the weekend that shows the new phone in bright daylight, following it up a day later with photos of both white and black versions. Like previous iPhone SE models there’s only a single rear camera, though this appears to be the first in the line to feature a USB-C port — now a requirement for the phone to be sold in the EU.Here's what the iPhone SE 4 looks like pic.twitter.com/pEyIAJ34VR— Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) January 25, 2025The biggest surprise is that the phone features Apple’s older notched display, rather than the Dynamic Island design that leaker Evan Blass had tipped it to include. This is hard to make out clearly in the video, but the selfie camera’s position just left of centre matches the iPhone 14’s notched setup — and besides, the leaker himself has confirmed in replies to the post that there’s a notch.iPhone SE 4 looks so beautiful pic.twitter.com/ezhNrrhyf8— Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) January 26, 2025This isn’t our first look at the new SE, though it is our clearest. Sonny Dickson shared two photos of similar looking SE 4 dummy units two weeks ago that he then put on sale.The SE 4 is rumored to switch to an OLED display, and is expected to include enough RAM to support Apple Intelligence features. Rumors point to a launch around March or April, which makes sense — the SE 3 launched in March 2022.

Even if you aren’t subscribed to Prime Video, you will be able to access live affiliate streams in the “Watch for Free” section without having to watch the third-party ads seen on Amazon’s other FAST channels.When Amazon and PBS first announced their partnership last November, PBS’ chief digital marketing officer Ira Rubenstein described the deal as “part of the PBS commitment to make trusted content available to all households across as many platforms as possible.”The launch of Prime’s PBS FAST channels comes just months after Amazon shut down Freevee, its ad-supported channel that featured original series like Judy Justice as well as licensed content from other networks like Chicago Fire.

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the very rare cases of a videogame releasing to bad press, only to rise again as an excellent game that's well worth your time. CD Projekt announced that it would bring Cyberpunk over to macOS, but we haven't heard an exact release date. Well, it seems the wait may soon be over, as the developer has just added a few entries to the Steam version, which reveals they're working on releasing the macOS version soon.

We like our small games here at XDA. For example, we reported that someone made a handheld console the size of a coin, which was impressive by itself. However, what if you could squeeze a game into a single pixel? That's exactly what one person did, and while it's really impressive, you do need a microscope just to see what's going on.

In iOS 18.3’s release notes, Apple says it has temporarily disabled notification summaries for news and entertainment apps.The change, which was first spotted in the iOS 18.3 beta, comes after the BBC called out the feature for incorrectly summarizing one of its headlines. If you opt-in to the feature, Apple will notify you once it becomes available again. For Apple devices that support Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro and later, iPads and Macs with the Apple Silicon M1 chip or later, and the most recent version of the iPad mini), today’s updates will also switch Apple Intelligence on by default. Other features coming with the new iPhone update include the ability to use Visual Intelligence to add an event to the Calendar app from a poster or flyer, as well as a way to “easily identify plants and animals.” On Macs, the macOS 15.3 update that is also rolling out now is adding support for Genmoji, along with similar changes for notification summaries.Additionally, iOS 18.3 will show notification summaries in italicized text to help you distinguish them from standard notifications. There will be new settings that let you manage notification summaries from your lock screen as well.You can download the iOS 18.3 update by heading to Settings > General > Software Update.

Every great venture begins with an idea, whether you are planning to start a business, design a product, or tackle a new project. Some people rely on their notes app to capture these sparks of inspiration, while others prefer the classic approach of jotting them down on real paper.

First, it was SEGA vs. Nintendo, then it was Nintendo vs. PlayStation vs. Xbox, and then it was just PlayStation vs. Xbox, while Nintendo was off doing its own thing. A new frontier is upon us, which you might’ve already guessed based on the title.

The Apple Sports app has been updated with broadcast information for users in the US. | Screenshot: David Pierce / The Verge Apple updated its iOS Sports app today with several new features, including a faster way to navigate the app, support for a handful of additional soccer tournaments, and information about where you can watch games that are being nationally broadcast in the US.According to the release notes for the update, you can now quickly “swipe left or right to browse all of the leagues and teams you follow.” When on a page for a specific game, below each team’s name and record for the season you’ll now find an additional line listing broadcast information such as “Live on NHL Network,” or “Live on TNT, Max, truTV,” if there are several ways to watch it. Screenshot: Richard Lawler / The Verge The Apple Sports app now provides brief details on where to watch nationally-televised games in the US. The update also expands the Sports app’s soccer coverage with the addition of the UK’s FA Cup, EFL Championship, and League Cup tournaments.Apple Sports launched in February, giving fans of several different major sports leagues – including the NBA, NHL, and MLS – a one-stop solution for keeping tabs on scores, stats, upcoming games, and even betting odds. In August, the app added live scores and play-by-play info for NFL and college football games and expanded its Live Activities support “for all teams and leagues available in the app,” making it easier to track games on an iPhone’s lock screen and the Apple Watch.In December, it also introduced summaries of scoring plays and big moments in a game called Key Plays, plus league standings that made it easier to track which teams qualified for the postseason.

Illustration by Nick Barclay / The Verge Meta is widely launching the ability for its AI chatbot to “remember” certain details about you, such as your dietary preferences or your interests, the company said in a blog post on Monday. It will then use your past conversations, in addition to details from Facebook and Instagram accounts, to provide more relevant recommendations.Meta first started rolling out a memory feature for its AI chatbot last year, but now it will be available across Facebook, Messenger, and WhatsApp on iOS and Android in the US and Canada. Though you can tell Meta AI to remember certain things, like that you love traveling, it will also “pick up important details based on context.” For example, if Meta AI provides you with a recipe that contains meat, and you respond that you’re vegan, the chatbot will adjust its future responses to account for your preference. Image: Meta Along with these “memories,” Meta AI on Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram will deliver “a greater level of personalization” using information from your accounts on each platform, including your age, gender, and “interests based on your activity,” according to Meta’s support page.As noted by Meta, if you ask its chatbot for something fun to do with family, Meta AI could use your home location listed in your Facebook profile, as well as recently-viewed reels showing live country performances, to recommend a local country music show. When asked whether you can disable personalization, Meta spokesperson Emil Vazquez said the company doesn’t “offer an opt-out for these features at this time,” adding that “we believe that the best experiences are personalized.”Meta says its AI will only remember things in one-on-one conversations, not in group chats, and that you can delete its memories “at any time.” Chatbots like ChatGPT and Google Gemini already have a similar feature.Update, January 27th: Added more information from Meta.
