    An ancient supernova remnant gets the James Webb telescope treatment.

    NASA’s telescope is now studying the 168,000-light-year-distant Supernova 1987A, which was discovered almost 40 years ago and has been observed ever since. NASA’s blog says training the James Webb Space Telescope on it has already borne fruit.

    Actors guild prepares for a possible gaming industry strike.

    SAG-AFTRA members will vote on whether or not to authorize a strike against the gaming industry, the guild says, as negotiations with major companies have reached a “stalemate” over issues like pay, safety, and the “unrestrained use” of AI (via Deadline).

    Authorization doesn’t guarantee a strike but does permit the guild to declare one if negotiations fail. SAG is currently on strike in Hollywood over similar issues.

    For just $1,699.95, you could have a glowing Dolby Atmos party speaker.

    JBL announced a new wireless party speaker today as part of a host of new products, like new earbuds and new smart speakers, debuting at IFA.

    The company says the PartyBox Ultimate self-tunes, has Wi-Fi 6 and LE Audio-ready Bluetooth connectivity and supports the company’s multi-speaker connection feature. Oh, and RGB lights. It has those too.

    A picture of the partyBox Ultimate. It has two RGB-ringed subwoofers and the speaker grill has an RGB strip surrounding it. It’s tall and skinny, standing on one end.
    The PartyBox Ultimate is just one of the announcements from JBL.

    Pastel iPhones, titanium frames, and production issues, oh my.

    This post on X (formerly Twitter) could show the colors for the standard iPhone 15 — at least, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo lists similar colors in a blog post on Medium.

    Kuo also corroborates the oft-rumored titanium frame for the 15 Pro phones, which may have contributed to production issues. He also mentions a possible iPhone 15 Pro gray color, which has been rumored recently.
