    Acura is teasing a new EV.

    During Monterey Car Week, which started yesterday and runs until August 18th, the company will show a “dynamically styled concept” that it says is a preview of a next-generation, all-electric SUV built on its new EV platform.

    Acura teased the reveal with the picture below.

    Donald Trump’s account is currently unsearchable on X.

    At the moment, if you type “from:realdonaldtrump” followed by a specific term in X’s search bar, you’ll get the same set of results, seemingly no matter what you type, according to a Mediaite story spotted by Engadget.

    I experienced the same thing when I tried it, but could still search other accounts this way. X responded with an auto-reply when reached for comment.

    The fix is in for software-bricked original HomePods.

    Nic Splattstoesser, who repairs common 2018 HomePod issues, demonstrates the process in a video spotted by 9to5Mac.

    Restoring the first HomePod, which wasn’t possible before now, involves connecting a custom USB adapter to a hidden debugging port on the bottom of the device. Splattstoesser credits David Syskalczyk and tihmstar with figuring out how to pull it off.

    Microsoft is quietly sunsetting Paint 3D.

    The app won’t be available in the Microsoft Store after November 4th, according to the below screenshot that XDA Developers spotted. (I don’t see the banner myself, so I’ve reached out to Microsoft to confirm.)

    It’s no big surprise. Introduced as a modern replacement for MS Paint, the app hasn’t been included with Windows since 2021. MS Paint, however, lives on.

    I’m seeing red — and I couldn’t be happier.

    That’s because the all-time greatest virtual reality gaming system, the Nintendo Virtual Boy, is now available (in emulator form) on the Vision Pro via the VirtualFriend app. I’ve been testing this emulator for some time — check back soon for my impressions.

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some Red Alarm to play.

    How far would you go to open an unsigned Mac app?

    If you update to macOS Sequoia, you’ll have to go to Settings > Security & Privacy and approve the app on first open, because Apple is taking away the current right-click (ctrl-click) workaround.

    The warning signifies the developer never had Apple malware scan and notarize the app. Sensible security step or not, I’ll still grumble every time I have to open Settings to run something.
