Food Pantries and Welfare Reform: If We Want to Feed Hungry People, This Is How to Do It

Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images In a post on Telegram Friday, founder and CEO Pavel Durov set out a new approach for the app and announced it’s disabled some “outdated” features. The first changes to the app following his arrest in France last month affect its built-in blog posts and a “People Nearby” location-based feature. The changes come as Durov attempts to reverse Telegram’s reputation as a hotspot for criminal activity that came as a result of lax moderation policies. In late August, French authorities arrested and charged Durov with enabling legal transactions and complicity in the distribution of child sexual abuse material. Durov’s first post-arrest statement Thursday said, “Telegram’s abrupt increase in user count to 950M caused growing pains that made it... Continue reading…

iPhone 15 Pro shoots 4K 60fps in ProRes. | Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Apple’s iPhone 16 event is in three days, and today, there’s a new leak (from “reliable sources” speaking to 9to5Mac) that claims the Pro version will support the ability to record video in 4K at an impressively smooth 120fps. According to that same source, iPhone 16’s rumored new camera trigger button will support changing from the default camera app to a third-party one. The article goes on to state that the 4K 120fps video can be shot up to ProRes quality when used with an external SSD. Apple is also reportedly improving its photo mode video recording shortcut QuickTake to shoot in 4K quality instead of 1080p. Other features like JPEG-XL image format support, the ability to pause a video recording, wind noise removal, new special... Continue reading…

Ahead of the iPhone 16 event next week, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple has been planning another keynote for M4 Macs and new iPads. While he already noted that new M4 Macs are coming in October or November, he also shared a few other tidbits about what else Apple plans to unveil after his iPhone 16 keynote predictions. According to the journalist, Apple is working on new iPad models, including an upgraded mini version. Since the company recently released new M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air, it's likely that Cupertino will upgrade the base-model iPad 10 and the iPad mini. While we don't expect major changes for these iPads, Apple will likely add a better chip. Recently, Gurman reported that the company is working on a cheaper Magic Keyboard for the entry-level iPad. However, this accessory is likely slated for early next year. There are rumors that Apple might add an M chip to the iPad mini, so it could feature Apple Intelligence. However, it's unclear if Cupertino will upgrade the iPad mini with that technology. Later on, in 2026, both mini and Air models are expected to get a design change with a new OLED display. For the October event, Gurman said Apple plans to introduce a new MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac with the M4 chip. The Mac mini is expected to get a new design inspired by the Apple TV and lose its USB-A ports, getting a similar treatment to Mac Studio. Besides these products, the journalist says Apple will keep working on new AirPods Pro 3 and iPhone SE 4, which are expected early next year. An updated Apple TV, first scheduled for earlier this year, isn't going to be introduced any time soon, as the "stable inventory of the device suggests a new version isn't on the immediate horizon. The upcoming AirPods Max 2 could "come later," the journalist says BGR will let you know once we learn more about this upcoming Apple event. Don't Miss: When will Apple release new M4 Macs?

There's been a lot of talk lately that the major GPT-5 upgrade, or whatever OpenAI ends up calling it, is coming to ChatGPT soon. As you'll see below, a Samsung exec might have used the GPT-5 moniker in a presentation earlier this week, even though OpenAI has yet to make this designator official. The point is the world is waiting for a big ChatGPT upgrade, especially considering that Google also teased big Gemini improvements that are coming later this year. The best proof that OpenAI might be close to launching an even more capable ChatGPT variant is a rumor concerning internal discussions about new ChatGPT subscription plans. OpenAI is apparently considering prices that go up to $2,000 per month for access to its models, which is 100 times what ChatGPT Plus currently costs. I'd speculate that OpenAI is considering these prices for enterprise customers rather than regular genAI users. Whatever the case, the figure implies OpenAI made big improvements to ChatGPT, and that they might be available soon — including the GPT-5 upgrade everyone is waiting for. Continue reading...
