With the update, you can ask Meta AI to remember your surroundings, like where you parked, and even time up reminders to make a phone call. The other features coming with the update include the ability to send and record voice messages on WhatsApp or Messenger without taking out your phone. You can now ask Meta AI to scan QR codes or call phone numbers that you come across, too. Meta is also updating how you invoke Meta AI while wearing the smart glasses. Instead of saying “Hey Meta” before each question, you now only need to say “Hey Meta” for your first question and then ask any additional questions without the prompt.... Continue reading…

Image: Aqara Aqara has launched its first-ever smart lever lock, the U300 we saw earlier this year at CES. Available in black or silver for $229.99 on Amazon, the U300 is one of the first smart lever locks to support Matter over Thread and Apple Home Key. You can unlock these doors through Aqara’s app or Matter apps like Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home, but Aqara also offers a wide range of other entry options, including the built-in fingerprint reader, keypad, or physical keys. Apple Home Key support also means you can just tap your iPhone or Apple Watch to enter, even when they’ve run out of power. Lever locks are typically found on doors for garages, side entries, and home offices. The Verge’s smart home reviewer, Jennifer Tuohy, is... Continue reading…

The Apple Vision Pro has been available for a few months now. With the recent visionOS 2 update, Apple added one of the long-requested features for this device: Guest User support. Unlike other products, people are curious to try their friends' spatial computers, so this mode gives you peace of mind when others test out your spatial computer. Here's how Apple describes the feature: Guest User is an easy way for your friends and family to try out Apple Vision Pro. And now it lets you save your most recent guest’s eye and hand data — so they can easily skip their next setup and get right back into their experience. Fortunately, it seems something like that could be coming to the iPhone. MacObserver discovered a patent that suggests Apple is working on a new Guest Mode for the iPhone. This could be especially useful for parents, office presentations, and more, as you can lend someone your iPhone without them having access to your sensitive data. Image source: Apple Inc. According to the patent, the iPhone Guest Mode would let the phone owner limit access to multiple apps and features. They could choose which apps others could use before the mode is turned on. The publication also says Apple would even let the owner manage permissions remotely from another Apple device, such as another iPhone or iPad. You could even change guest mode settings in real time, depending on what the other person needs to access. Interestingly, this patent almost feels like what iPad users have been asking for ages: the ability to have multiple users on a single device, similar to the Mac. If it ever launches, it could mean iPads could be shareable by family members or in a classroom. It's unclear when Apple will make these functions available. With iOS 18 just released and the company working hard on iOS 18.1 to bring Apple Intelligence features to its newer devices, this sounds like something the company is developing for the long term. Below, you can learn some of the iOS 18 hidden features that you should be using.

A joint Egyptian-German archaeological mission has unearthed the funerary chamber of a woman named "Idi”, the sole daughter of Djefai-Hapy, the governor of Asyut during the reign of Pharaoh Senusret I (1961-1915 BC). Its historical significance lies in the fact that the governor’s tomb is the largest non-royal tomb of the era. The 3,900-year-old burial chamber contained two coffins, one nested inside the other, both imbued with texts that depict the journey to the afterlife. 800 Ancient Egyptian Tombs Discovered at Middle Kingdom Necropolis Huge 4000-year-old Underground Hidden Tomb of Cult Egyptian King Senwosret III Will Soon Open to the Public The new burial chamber was found under Djefai-Hapy's tomb, at the Western Mount of Asyut, Egypt.

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller had their twin sons, Bob and Max, in 2009, just a year before their divorce. The boys had to deal with their parent’s tumultuous co-parenting, which featured fights over child support and unpopular news in the media. As of last year, Charlie claimed he has been raising Bob and Max on his own, and Brooke is not in their lives as much because she has personal issues to sort out. The 15-year-olds now look unrecognizable in the photos here and were spotted at their mother’s birthday in August, indicating a reconnection. Dealing with messy parents Charlie Sheen / ImageCollect Bob and Max’s parents have not had the best headlines as celebrities, with the news of Charlie’s HIV diagnosis and drug use getting out and Brooke’s involvement with Matthew Perry’s demise. Charlie has taken steps to reach sobriety to become a better parent, noting that most people at his level of addiction never make it. Brooke also had her bout with addiction to amphetamine and Adderall and has checked into rehab as much as twenty times. This affected her presence in Bob and Max’s lives as she had to leave them with her parents occasionally to check in to these centers. Like Charlie, she relies on a 12-step program, which has been effective so far. Charlie Sheen’s twin sons as kids / Instagram Bob and Max now The twins’ recent public appearance at Brooke’s 47th had fans shocked by their transformation as they stood just as tall as their mom. They wore matching black T-shirts, and Max paired his with brown pants, while Bob went for navy blue bottoms. Charlie Sheen / ImageCollect It appears puberty has been nice to them as they looked grown and well-built, with their lush hair framing their faces nicely. Brooke posed with her sons in a white lacy dress, and her blonde shoulder-length hair let down in a center part. Charlie shares a flexible custody schedule with ex-wife, with him as the primary custodian.
