The Zefiro is a tiny USB-C MIDI controller that can be played like a wind instrument. | Image: Kickstarter An Italian startup called Artinoise has created an unusual USB-C accessory for mobile devices that turns them into playable musical instruments. The Zefiro looks like a flash drive or a tiny vape, but by gently blowing into one end, it can be used to play simulated instruments with even less skill than what was needed to play those plastic recorders in grade school. The Zefiro is being made available through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign looking to raise just over $5,300 to fund production. According to the company, “We have been developing and manufacturing musical instruments for years; now we just need to collect pre-orders for our latest creation and kick off manufacturing!” Those backing the campaign early can preorder a...

A week after releasing visionOS 2.2 beta 1 to developers, Apple has now seeded its second testing version. Unlike the tame visionOS 2.1 update, this new build brings a long-awaited feature: wider Mac Virtual Display options. Mac Virtual Display is one of the OG features of Apple Vision Pro. However, with new wide and ultrawide modes, the spatial computer offers a more immersive experience. Here’s what this feature is all about: Using Mac Virtual Display is like having an expandable, ultrawide screen that wraps around you. It’s the equivalent of having two 4K displays sitting side by side — everything looks astoundingly sharp and incredibly detailed. Now, with an ultrawide view, Apple says it feels like you have two physical 4K displays sitting side by side on a desk, except you don’t have something limiting the two displays. This Apple Vision Pro feature is perfect for anyone multitasking on a Mac, and it feels better than having several windows floating around. With this feature, you can open several apps at once and visualize them before you with Vision Pro’s incredible displays. Not only will this boost productivity, but it will also make this spatial computer a more compelling upgrade than two Studio Displays, as you can use it for more than just mirroring your Mac once you finish working. Apple is expected to expand Mac Visual Display in early December when visionOS 2.2 is expected to be released to all users. While rumors about a new Vision Pro are contradictory, the latest reports expect Apple to update this product next year with a more capable processor, most likely the M5. However, a revamped interaction is still a few years away. Alongside visionOS 2.2 beta 2, Apple has seeded the second testing versions of watchOS 11.2 and tvOS 18.2. Below, you can learn more about visionOS and other Vision Pro features.

I had been looking forward to the iPhone 16's Camera Control button ever since it first popped up in early rumors. After over a month with the iPhone 16 Plus, however, the Camera Control turned out to be a somewhat large disappointment for this longtime iPhone user. The button works as intended. It opens the camera app faster than before. It just doesn't work well for me. I hold the iPhone in my left hand, so there's no convenient way to reach the button. My protective case makes it even harder than it should be. I'd love it if Apple made radical changes to the iPhone's buttons that would let me swap the location of the Camera Control button with a unified Volume button. That's not going to happen anytime soon, but Apple is working to make the Camera Control better in the meantime. A new "Require Screen On" option that just appeared in iOS 18.2 beta 3 is one way Apple is improving this feature. Continue reading...

With the help of declassified images collected by United States spy satellites, a team of researchers from Durham University in the United Kingdom and the University of al-Qadisiyyah in Iraq have identified the site of one of the most important battles in the history of the Islamic world. Based on a careful analysis of this satellite data, the researchers believe that the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah, which took place around the year 636, was fought approximately 19 miles (31 km) south of Kufa, in Iraq's Najaf governorate.

Supermodel Paulina Porizkova was shocked and hurt when she discovered her late ex-husband, Ric Ocasek, had cut her out of his will. Yet, five years after his death from natural causes, she still grieves for him. Despite Paulina and Ric tying the knot at 24 and 45, respectively, their marriage lasted for 28 years, ending in a peaceful separation in 2017. After years of “pretending to be fine,” Paulina finally allowed herself to be vulnerable on Ric’s recent death anniversary. Struggling with overwhelming sadness, she decided to share her pain publicly. Paulina Porizkova reveals she was “lonely” and “drowning” after Ric Ocasek’s death             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Paulina Porizkova (@paulinaporizkov)   The actress posted a clip of her crying on her Instagram page, which attracted sympathy and support from those around her. She confessed she was “drowning” and “lonely,” revealing that due to putting on her brave face for her children and loved ones, no one seemed to understand that she was hurting and in need of help. A week later, she made a follow-up post sharing that admitting her struggle with grief helped her find a “grief club.” The supermodel appreciated her friends and fans who reached out to her and helped her feel better. While opening up about her grief brought her tremendous support, it was also a reminder of the emotional wounds she suffered when Ric passed away. Paulina Porizkova and Ric Ocasek/Instagram She was unable to grief properly due to feeling betrayed The 59-year-old spoke of how betrayed she felt when it happened, “I will not provide for my wife because she abandoned me” was what she inferred from the will testament he left for her. She recalled that her first thought upon seeing it was, “That’s a lie.” Despite spending nearly three decades together and staying with him until his final days, she thought “somebody made a mistake” with the will. Paulina Porizkova/Instagram Paulina learned a big lesson from her relationship to Ric and that has shaped her ideology that only she can be responsible for herself, and she has vowed never to hand over her “autonomy” to anyone again. It’s such a bitter experience for Paulina, but thankfully she has been able to make peace with the betrayal and Ric’s death.
