Apple rolls out iOS 26.4.2 to fix a flaw that allowed the FBI to access push notifications

Apple's latest iOS update fixes a flaw in its notification database that made it possible for law enforcement to view deleted push notifications on a person's iPhone or iPad. The security flaw was one way law enforcement agencies like the FBI could circumvent Apple's strict stance towards user privacy, the Electronic Frontier Foundation writes, particularly since the company has required a court order to share notification data since 2023.According to...

Honor 600 in for review

Now that we've unboxed the Honor 600 Pro, it's time to do the same with the Honor 600. Just like the Pro, the Honor 600 ships with a USB cable and nothing more. You'd need to supply your own case and charger. So, how does the Honor 600 differ from its sibling? Well, from the outside, it doesn't really. The only telltale sign is the missing third camera lens on... Read more ›

He put office workers on stage; nearly 20 years later, two of them have a son  

Fernando Gaspar Barros didn’t set out to build a company culture consultancy. Instead, he wanted to put office workers on stage, giving them direct recognition and motivation for today’s volatile times.  The idea was straightforward, almost absurdly so: what if employees at regular companies formed real bands and performed live? Not just at some awkward ... Read more ›

The 'Missing-Scientist' Story Is Unbelievably Dumb

Longtime Slashdot reader mmarlett writes: The Atlantic has a long article on the story of missing scientists recently featured here on Slashdot. In short, it is an incoherent conspiracy theory that spreads wide and far, not paying any attention to boundaries of time, space, or area of expertise. "Which is all to say that another piece of flagrant nonsense has ascended to the highest levels of U.S. politics and media,"... Read more ›

There’s a version of loneliness that only arrives inside a crowded room full of people who like you, and it comes from the slow realization that what they like is a performance you can no longer remember choosing to start

Some of the loneliest moments happen in rooms full of people who genuinely like you — because what they like is a version of you that started as an adaptation and became a cage. Research on friendship quality, cognitive load, and impression management reveals why social performance creates its own kind of isolation. Read more ›

There are two types of tired. There’s the kind where sleep fixes it. And there’s the kind where you’ve been agreeable for so long that you don’t know what your own opinions sound like unedited and the fatigue is existential and no amount of rest touches it because rest isn’t the deficit

When you've spent so long being the "easy-going" one that you can't remember the last time you expressed an opinion without adding "but I could be wrong," you're not just tired—you're experiencing the soul-deep exhaustion that comes from constantly translating your authentic thoughts into what you think others can handle.

The people who talk about their childhood like it was fine but can’t remember most of it aren’t lying.

People who describe their childhood as fine but can't recall most of it aren't being dishonest. From the inside, the absence of memory and the absence of trauma feel identical, and by the time something disrupts the surface, decades of identity have been built on a story that may be incomplete.

The day I found a faded pencil note in my late father's workshop that read "Would like to see the Lake District again," I finally understood why the strongest man I knew died with so many words unspoken. Read more ›
