The Apple Sports widget for iOS. | Image: Apple I was disappointed when Apple launched a new Sports iOS widget last year without CarPlay support, but I'm pleased to report that's changing this week. The latest Apple Sports update includes widget support in CarPlay, allowing you to follow live sports scores for your favorite teams or leagues all within the new widgets interface in the iOS 26 version of CarPlay.You can pick between a league widget that shows live scores and schedules for a league or sport you're interested in, or a teams widget, which follows your favorite teams. Both widgets will show live scores, but they don't appear to update in real time. I tested the widget during t …Read the full story at The Verge.

Samsung makes Ikea’s lineup feel native inside SmartThings, not like generic Matter devices. | Image: Samsung Ikea's two dozen Matter-over-Thread devices have proved problematic since launch, but Samsung says its SmartThings platform now has it all sorted. If true, it means Ikea's sensors and complex remotes should actually display correctly, function flawlessly, and plug directly into Samsung's advanced home automation routines without any issues. To achieve this, Samsung says it has "built enhanced integrations" with Ikea's scroll wheel remote, bulbs, smart plugs, and sensors for temperature, humidity, air quality, motion, water, and open doors and windows. Furthermore, "Samsung and Ikea conducted multiple rounds of validation to enhance connect …Read the full story at The Verge.

The era of the $20-a-month AI tax is officially over for my workflow. For the last few months, Claude Pro was my co-pilot (not the one from Microsoft) for debugging Python scripts, planning a vacation, and giving me ideas about improving my home lab.

John Ternus is going to be Apple's next CEO. And while outgoing CEO Tim Cook was lauded for his approach to logistics, Ternus' history is that of a product person.Ternus, Apple's SVP of hardware engineering before being officially tapped to take over the top job, has been increasingly in the public eye to help Apple announce its latest products. Ternus helped introduce the iPhone Air last September, its flashiest new iPhone of the 2025 lineup. He's also been the face of announcing new Macs for years, including Apple's first Macs with Apple Silicon in 2020 that profoundly transformed Apple's computer lineup, continuing through the 15-inch M …Read the full story at The Verge.

Ten years ago, Dyson kicked off the hair gadget arms race with its $400 Supersonic hair dryer. Today, it's back with a slightly smaller and cheaper travel-size version.As the name suggests, the $299.99 Supersonic Travel is meant for people on the go - whether that's a business trip or a jaunt to the gym before work. Dyson claims that it's 32 percent smaller, 25 percent lighter, and capable of fitting in purses and carry-on luggage. It uses the same basic tech as the Supersonic, though it now automatically adapts voltage to the country you're in. And folks who already invested in the original Supersonic don't have to worry about buying new …Read the full story at The Verge.

I love DaVinci Resolve. I've been using it as my video editing software for years, producing both small videos for XDA as well as content for my personal YouTube channel. Resolve is easily the best video editing software you can use for free and it makes complete sense as a replacement for Adobe's Premiere Pro.

Repurposing spare SBCs is my favorite part of self-hosting. I try to find a perfect fit for even the tiniest, underpowered computer in my collection. I have already dedicated one of my Raspberry Pi Zero 2W to host Vaultwarden and serve as an isolated, energy-efficient password manager. The Pi Zero 2W is a perfect fit because it doesn't need a lot of power to work, supports wireless networking, and doesn't run out of memory while running the password manager. I have a few more Pi Zero 2W units, and I decided to dedicate another tiny yet frequently used tool to one of them.

A little while ago, we saw one of Valve's contractors, Natalie Vock, release a new tool that prevents Linux from stealing your VRAM. Beforehand, when Linux had to free up room on your GPU's VRAM and move stuff to the RAM, it had zero context over which blocks of data were assigned to which apps. As such, it had a tendency to boot the game you're playing off the VRAM to help keep that one random Google Chrome window you have open on the GPU's RAM, which isn't ideal.

Yelp is giving its chatbot assistant a major upgrade, turning the platform into something closer to a digital concierge with a suite of new features designed for "getting things done."

In a press release, Yelp says the Yelp Assistant chatbot will be at "the center of the app experience," where it can answer questions, make recommendations, and even handle bookings in a single conversation. The bot will be availa …Read the full story at The Verge.

Accidentally raising your hand in an online meeting isn't the most embarrassing thing you can do in Teams, but it's so easy to do and so disruptive to the meeting flow that it sticks with you. Something about halting a 30-attendee strong presentation just really gets to you, especially the part where you have to unmute and sheepishly admit you accidentally hit the wrong button.

If you've ever had the embarrassing displeasure of interrupting a Microsoft Teams meeting by accidentally hitting the "raise hand" feature, then I have some good news for you. Microsoft is redesigning its online meeting software, which will move the raise hand button from the main toolbar and allow users to personalize the controls displayed there.The update was announced on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap and is expected to roll out sometime in June this year. The changes will group the Raise Hand feature under the Reactions button "to reduce mis-clicks," according to Microsoft, which is handy because the two functions are easy to conflate at a …Read the full story at The Verge.
