Last month, Apple announced an update for the Sports app that adds Live Activities support to help you follow games on the lock screen of your iPhone or Apple Watch.
Now, it has been released in the App Store just ahead of the launch of iOS 18 and watchOS 11, and it includes a new drop-down menu and search setup to switch between leagues and teams.
Pulse oximetry features were recently removed from new Apple Watches due to Masimo’s patent infringement claim. Now the medical device maker has announced deals with Qualcomm and Google for Wear OS reference platforms.
They say that OEMs who use them will design the wearables exteriors and software, but with internal hardware, software, and sensors designed/tested by Masimo.
9to5Google reports that late Saturday / early Sunday something started causing the Google app to close as soon as it’s opened for some people on Android, and I’m seeing that issue on my Pixel 8 Pro.
There’s no word from Google on what the issue is, but the Chrome search bar still works, as well as this Reddit suggestion of uninstalling all updates from the Google app.
Update: The problem appears to have been resolved overnight, as noted on Google’s status dashboard.
With exceptions for users under 18, posts that weren’t set to public, or EU accounts that opted out.
Now ABC reports on Australian senator David Shoebridge’s question to Meta’s global privacy director, Melinda Claybaugh.
Shoebridge: “...Meta has just decided that you will scrape all of the photos and all of the texts from every public post on Instagram or Facebook since 2007, unless there was a conscious decision to set them on private. That’s the reality, isn’t it?”
Claybaugh: “Correct.”
While we hadn’t really noticed they were gone, it seems like the Xbox One revamp swapped out requests to make anyone who added you a Twitter-style follower unless you added them back.
Now Xbox is testing a return to the old ways, which might make it easier to notice real friends among the spammers saying they want to buy your Fortnite account.
No, not that one — this is the discussion about Sony’s newly-announced PS5 Pro, as the folks at Digital Foundry are breaking down what Mark Cerny & Co. did and did not reveal about the $699.99 disc drive-less console.
Known for its smart locks that still look like regular ones, Level has been purchased by lock giant Assa Abloy, which will operate it as an independent brand.
Assa Abloy exec Lucas Boselli says:
Their innovative platform provides an easy transition from mechanical locking to digital access solutions with minimal effort.
Meanwhile, the Level M arm that focused on multifamily dwellings is spinning off as Ambient Property Technologies, where CEO Mike Rovito says it’s working on a new app.
Correction: Only Level M is being renamed, while Level Lock will keep its name.
After Sony revealed the look of the PS5 in 2020, there were some jokes.
