Instagram introduces a redesigned wordmark
Instagram on Thursday introduced a new wordmark, which is the text-only logo that spells out the company’s name. The social media giant’s logic was that the older version of its logo felt dated after a decade in use. The change was announced by Instagram head Adam Mosseri on both Instagram and Threads, where he described the new logo as “sharper and more modern” while still referencing the original and maintaining simplicity. Although people can…

Microsoft kills off unsuccessful AI features while merging its separate Copilot apps
Two years ago, Microsoft described AI as a “generational shift” in technology that it wanted to lead.

As initially reported by GeekWire and detailed in Microsoft’s support documentation, the tech giant will combine the functionality of its consumer-facing Copilot app and the more business-oriented Microsoft 365 Copilot app. The move is both an acknowledgement that…

The most popular GameCube emulator is no longer the only one
Dolphin has been around for a while, but there's a new contender for GameCube emulation.

To make matters worse, physical copies of GameCube games are becoming both progressively more expensive and harder to find, meaning that unless you still have your disc and console from back…

Pixel 11 Pro’s ‘HiLight’ missed its opportunity to be the perfect notification LED
The Pixel 11 doesn’t carry much of a different look, and the only major hardware change happening on the exterior could be glossed over without a second thought. Pixel 11’s HiLight hides in the camera LED and acts like a notification light when your phone is turned over. But it isn’t what I expected. In theory, Pixel 11 Pro’s HiLight is meant to act as a visual cue for some of the phone’s actions,…

To convince those big-name financial companies, Nvidia has agreed to guarantee, with its own money, that its chips used as collateral in these deals…

Eight generations later, we’re today learning that the issue still hasn’t been fixed. Ensuring that the iPhone Ultra did not share this vulnerability has reportedly been one of the reasons Apple waited so long before launching its own folding phone. We should know how…
