 Starting today, Apple is allowing members of its public beta program to download and install iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. You can register for public beta status on Apple's Beta website. The first public beta version is identical to the fourth developer beta version released earlier this week, but it also provides developers with a new fourth beta version. iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 adopt the Liquid Glass design, which emphasizes transparency in its visual aesthetics. Elements such as icons, menu buttons, and navigation bars reflect and refract light through subtle animations. Some areas pop up menus, tab bars shrink, and all elements appear more rounded. Apple has introduced several new features, such as Visual Intelligence for screenshots, updated order tracking in the Wallet app, new features in Reminders, and real-time translation in Messages, Phone, and FaceTime. Image Playground now offers ChatGPT-style options, and Genmoji supports mixing two or more emojis to create new ones. The Spati...

  As was the case in the first quarter of this year, Intel may also have benefited from a release of demand in the second quarter, as customers sought to place orders ahead of the implementation of specific tariffs on the semiconductor industry. Intel (INTC) Q2 2025 Financial Results In the three months ending June 30, Intel reported non-GAAP revenue of $12.859 billion, exceeding the market consensus estimate of $11.87 billion. For the quarter, Intel's total product revenue was $11.81 billion. Of this, foundry revenue reached $4.417 billion in the second quarter. The consensus forecast data in the chart above is sourced from here. Additionally, please note that the “Other” revenue category for the second quarter of 2024 also includes revenue from Intel's Network and Edge Business Division, which has recently been discontinued. Intel reported a non-GAAP gross margin of 29.7% for the quarter, below the company's own forecast of 36.5%. Finally, Intel's earnings per share (...

  Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang believes that anyone can be a software engineer today, and those who refuse to embrace AI will be left behind by the times. According to Benzinga, during an interview on the “All In Podcast” on the 23rd, Huang was asked about the possibility of AI replacing humans in the job market. In response, he stated that AI not only creates jobs but also brings about new transformations in how people work. Huang said, “AI is the most powerful tool for technological equality in history. Everyone is now a software engineer.” He warned, “If you don't use AI, your job will be replaced by someone who does.” He added, “Software engineers can no longer survive using traditional methods; you can no longer get by just writing raw code.” Huang emphasized that AI not only creates job opportunities but also makes everyone more productive. “In my view, AI is creating jobs. It allows us to create products that others will want to buy, driving more growth and creating more jo...

  Intel released its second-quarter 2025 financial report on Thursday (July 24), reporting revenue of $12.9 billion, unchanged from the same period last year, and a loss of $2.9 billion, up from $1.6 billion in the same period last year. On the same day, CEO Chen Liwu said that he is pushing forward with a restructuring plan to lay off about 15% of the workforce and announced the cancellation of manufacturing projects originally planned in Germany and Poland. Of the $12.9 billion in revenue, the Client Computing Group (CCG) accounted for $7.9 billion, the Data Center and AI Group (DCAI) accounted for $3.9 billion, and Intel Foundry chip foundry services accounted for $4.4 billion. However, inter-departmental transaction offsets also reached $4.4 billion, indicating that chip foundry revenue primarily comes from internal product departments, with limited external orders. Notably, Intel's revenue in the second quarter of 2020 reached as high as $19.7 billion, reflecting a significant...

As Creative Strategies analyst Max Weinbach discovered, iPhones and iPads running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 can now sync login information for controlled Wi-Fi networks. For example, when Weinbach checked into a Hilton hotel, his iPhone prompted him to use the Wi-Fi information from his iPad, which was already connected to the hotel network. Controlled Wi-Fi networks are those that require you to fill out a web form to gain access. Such networks are common in hotels, gyms, cafes, airports, and other public spaces. With this new feature (which is likely to be extended to macOS 26), connecting multiple Apple devices to these networks will become faster and easier. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman was the first to report on Apple's plans to introduce this feature, though it was not mentioned during last month's WWDC 2025 keynote speech. MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris later discovered related references in the code of the first iOS 26 developer beta. At the time, it was believed that the...

 Which is more important: quality or sales volume? Quality is undoubtedly more important. If the quality is poor, even if sales volume is high, it will eventually lead to numerous issues and disputes. However, the question is: how can consumers be made aware of high-quality products? One of the key channels is through experiential marketing. Simply displaying different models of solar water heating systems in a specialty store is insufficient. No matter how advanced the technology, how high the performance, or how cost-effective the product may be, consumers cannot discern its merits without firsthand experience. Does your product feature instant heating? Does it offer 24/7 operation? Does it provide an abundance of hot water? Is it intelligent? Does it address consumer concerns about safety, comfort, and convenience?… These offline experiences provide consumers with tangible sensory understanding. Solar energy is not a fast-moving consumer good but an energy system requiring a par...

 In the era of gasoline-powered vehicles, German automakers have achieved a high level of expertise, whether it be in their superior sheet metal craftsmanship or their outstanding tuning of the “big three” components. German engineering stands among the top tier in the industry. Whether it be the high-end brands like Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi, or the more mainstream Volkswagen (Volkswagen AG), German vehicles remain the top choice for consumers when purchasing a car. As the Volkswagen Group has grown and expanded, Jetta has been spun off from Volkswagen to become an independently operated automotive brand. To strengthen its lineup of urban mid-size SUVs, the all-new Jetta VS8 is finally arriving. The new model's dimensions are similar to those of the current VS7, it is equipped with a 1.4T engine provided by the Volkswagen Group, and its chassis continues to feature German engineering. Another urban mid-size SUV, German engineering, 1.4T transverse engine, and front and...

 I read Chen Zhongshi's *White Deer Plain* a long time ago, but I didn't fully understand it at the time. All I remember is that the book was thick, had many characters, and a heavy plot. Recently, I came across the audiobook on Bilibili by chance and listened to it again during breaks from gaming. To my surprise, this book re-entered my life years later, yet it felt like opening a deeper window—the sand and wind hit me in the face, yet it was so real it left me breathless. This novel is like a hoe, digging up what lies buried beneath a century of Chinese soil—the blood of families, the bones of an era, and the fates of those seemingly insignificant little people—fates that are neither small nor light. Bai Jiaxuan Bai Jiaxuan is truly the “anchor” of the entire book. He is the quintessential patriarchal “clan leader” of a Chinese village, upholding clan laws, Confucian ethics, and the importance of face. His most representative statement is: “Anything you fear others will disco...

 On July 18, Huawei officially released a poster announcing that pre-orders for the new HarmonyOS flagship tablet, the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2-inch, are now open. From the official poster, it appears that this new tablet will bring exciting new updates in terms of design and system experience. 　　From the promotional poster, it appears that the Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2-inch will introduce a new color option called “Fei Tian Qing,” which exudes the elegance and sophistication of Eastern aesthetics. The rear camera module features the HarmonyOS Star Ring design, consistent with the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2-inch model, thereby establishing a unified design language across the Huawei MatePad Pro series of tablets. This reflects Huawei's family-style design language and may also hint at potential optimizations or upgrades to its internal imaging or sensor systems. On the other hand, this new model will be fully equipped with the HarmonyOS 5 system, bringing significant upgrades in device c...

 By middle age, one might assume that life has settled into a stable routine. However, sudden unemployment can feel like a bolt from the blue, disrupting all sense of rhythm. Faced with such adversity, many people resort to desperate measures, unaware that these four seemingly quick fixes to “turn things around” are actually traps that can plunge one into an even deeper abyss. 1. Never blindly start a business At 45, Old Zhou lost his job in the layoff wave at a major internet company. With 500,000 yuan in severance pay, he refused to settle for a small company and plunged into the business of children's educational toys. He believed that with his past management experience and accumulated network of contacts, the business would surely run smoothly. However, from site selection and renovation to supply chain setup, every step encountered numerous issues. Compounded by the impact of online e-commerce, his physical stores saw no customers. Within eight months, he not only lost all hi...

 I’ve worked at a large company for 10 years and been a small business owner for over 10 years. I’ve experienced a lot and worked with many people. Here are a few red lines employees should avoid crossing. For recent graduates, it’s important to approach work with a sense of reverence. First, embezzlement. As an employee, if you pocket company funds or assets, once the amount exceeds a few thousand dollars, you’ll be in trouble. If the legal department of a large company is particularly strict, it could severely impact your career and even your life trajectory. Second is bribery by non-public officials. When I was working, I would see announcements every week, or even every day, about who was under investigation. Those at higher levels were even product line presidents. Such cases typically result in several years of imprisonment. Third is various forms of forgery, especially involving company seals and signatures. Once discovered, this can easily lead to legal consequences. Some y...

 My wife bought some leeks and prepared to make leek and egg dumplings. She worked for two hours without any help. When it was time to eat, people started to criticize her. Some said it was too salty, others said there weren't enough eggs, or that she didn't use garlic. They kept blaming others and finding fault. After working so hard to make a meal, not only did no one praise her, but they treated her like a rag. Do you think such a family can turn things around? No matter what hardships one faces outside the home, no matter how much suffering one endures, no matter how great the difficulties encountered, as long as one has a harmonious family where family members tolerate and understand one another, and can communicate effectively, one will not be easily defeated. However, some people always do the opposite. They are casual and friendly with outsiders but nitpicky and overly critical with their family members. When faced with problems, they don't think about how to overco...

  There have been numerous rumors recently regarding the new color options for the iPhone 17. Today, renowned leaker Majin Bu released renderings of what are believed to be four color options for the Pro model. Black and white/silver are the standard options, while dark blue has also been seen on the iPhone 15 Pro. The orange option, however, stands out, and paired with the new camera design, it is likely to become the most distinctive feature of this new generation of devices. It is worth noting that another source, Shana Digital, also posted on Weibo yesterday that the iPhone 17 Pro has a “special color scheme” that is ‘related’ to the Liquid Glass design of iOS 26. However, he speculated that this might refer to white/silver, with the body “producing different effects under different lighting conditions.”

 Everyone says luxury cars are expensive, with high maintenance costs and costly repairs and servicing. However, when some products offer strong performance and lower price points, many people still dismiss them. Such cases are very common in the domestic automotive market. People prioritize brand prestige over the product's inherent qualities, much like the Jaguar. Everyone knows that the material costs for this vehicle are extremely high, even surpassing those of BMW and Mercedes-Benz. However, even when the price is reduced to over 150,000 yuan, it still struggles to gain consumer approval. What a pity for such a fine all-aluminum vehicle! Meanwhile, among our domestic brands, there are also affordable models with luxury car heritage. These vehicles feature cutting-edge technology from luxury cars and are built to the same high standards as luxury vehicles. However, such models still fail to gain consumer recognition, and the Lynk & Co 01 is one of them. Its Volvo heritage i...

 On July 14, Microsoft announced that Windows 11 is testing a new feature called “Adaptive Power Saving,” which intelligently enables power-saving mode based on the user's current computer usage, rather than relying on battery power levels. Microsoft introduced “Adaptive Power Saving” as an optional feature in its official blog. This feature automatically enables or disables power-saving mode based on the device's power status and current system load, without altering screen brightness. The introduction of this feature aims to address the long-standing issue of poor battery life in Windows devices. By automatically enabling power-saving mode when users are performing tasks with low computational demands, it is expected to extend the battery life of laptops. Although Microsoft has not disclosed the specific technical details of this feature, it is speculated that it may monitor current CPU and GPU usage to determine whether the user requires additional computational power to com...

 Today, blogger @Digital Chit-Chat Station revealed the specifications of the Huawei Mate X7. The blogger stated that the Huawei Mate X7 features a 7.95-inch inner screen with UTG ultra-thin flexible glass. The rear camera system has been tested with two configurations: 1. The main camera boasts a 50-megapixel sensor with a 1/1.56-inch large sensor size; 2. The main camera is also 50 million pixels, but with a 1/1.3-inch sensor, supporting a physical variable aperture, and also features a 50 million-pixel periscope telephoto macro lens and a red maple multi-spectrum camera, while also supporting high-spec waterproofing. Additionally, the Huawei Mate X7 will debut with the new Kirin 9030 processor and come pre-installed with the HarmonyOS 6 operating system, with an expected release in the fourth quarter of this year. For comparison, the Huawei Mate X6 series and Mate 70 series both feature the Kirin 9020 processor, whose CPU consists of 1 large core running at 2.5GHz, 3 medium core...

 Following previous years' tradition, Samsung is expected to launch its new Galaxy S series at the beginning of next year. Recent reports suggest that after increasing the screen size of the Samsung S25 Ultra to 6.86 inches, Samsung plans to push the boundaries of screen size once again with the next-generation flagship model, the Galaxy S26 Ultra. 　According to reports, the screen size of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will increase slightly to 6.89 inches, but the overall dimensions of the device will remain unchanged. This means that Samsung will achieve the screen size upgrade by further narrowing the screen bezels. Based on calculations, the thickness of the screen bezels on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may be reduced to between 1.15 and 1.2 millimeters, further improving the screen-to-body ratio and delivering a more immersive visual experience. 　　Currently, there are already flagship models in the industry with screen bezels around 1.2 millimeters, such as the previously relea...

 As controversy continues to mount over the transition to a paid SPID service by some identity providers, statements by the Government's Undersecretary for Innovation, Alessio Butti, are making waves. During a hearing in the Chamber of Deputies, Butti effectively confirmed the shutdown of SPID. During a hearing in the Chamber of Deputies, which can be viewed directly on the Parliament's WebTV, Butti confirmed what he had already stated on other occasions: the government wants to make the Electronic Identity Card the only digital identity in our country. The statements came following a request for clarification from a member of Parliament, to which Butti responded clearly: as early as December 2022, the government had already made it clear that it wanted to bring our country into line with the rest of the world and refer to a single digital identity. “I believe that in a serious state, digital identity must be unique and issued by the state, with all due respect to private provi...

 Two years after the server shutdown, on April 16, the Chinese server of Diablo III officially announced its relaunch, kicking off a non-deletion technical test. The official statement confirmed that all player account data from before the server shutdown has been fully preserved, allowing players to experience the content of Season 34 during the test period. This season will feature content that was first introduced in Seasons 28 and 29, which the Chinese server missed out on, including the Ritual Altar and Enemy Illusion. According to the announcement, this test will not include a pre-download option. The game client can be downloaded directly via the Battle.net client after the server goes live on April 16. The official statement confirmed that all player account data from before the server shutdown has been fully preserved. Existing players with accounts can log in directly without needing to repurchase the game, and all player data will be retained. For players without account...

 If you're an iPhone user, you've probably seen a lot of news about the explosive progress of AI over the past two years: ChatGPT is all over the news, Google's Gemini updates are more frequent than Android updates, Microsoft's Copilot is built right into Office, and Meta has even opened up Llama for “mass model training.” But when you open your iPhone, Mac, or iPad, where is Apple? This isn't an illusion—Apple has indeed fallen behind in the era of large AI models. Siri only started “upgrading its AI” in 2024, and the so-called “Apple Intelligence” is essentially just an AI-enhanced system feature, with no “breakthrough” products or model architectures in sight. The issue isn't that Apple lacks funds, talent, or chips; it's that it has trapped itself in a cage that's incompatible with the AI ecosystem. 1. Apple’s “late awakening” to AI is not accidental—it’s inevitable. Over the past two years, Google has been showing off with Gemini, Microsoft has been...

 Ford drew inspiration from its past history to design a new exterior package for the 2026 Mustang. It is called the FX package and adds some retro style from the 1980s to the seventh-generation Mustang. The FX package combines Adriatic Blue Metallic (a new color inspired by the brown hue on the third-generation Mustang) and white (including the wheels and front fenders). The wheels come in two styles: a 19-inch five-spoke design and a more complex new wheel design, both finished in Oxford White. The wheel covers are also white, featuring the FX-exclusive font inspired by the lettering on the 1987-1993 Mustang models. The 5.0L and GT badges also feature white accents, and Ford has placed an all-white logo in the center of the black grille on the front end. High-performance package cars will also be equipped with Oxford White nostrils, while non-high-performance Mustangs will be equipped with deep carbon gray nostrils. The FX Mustang will also be equipped with white taillights, whic...
