WARNING: This post contains spoilers for High Life. Legendary French director Claire Denis makes her English language debut with High Life, a startling sci-fi drama starring Robert Pattinson - here’s what its ending means. When celebrated international directors make the jump to working in the English language or fully embracing the Hollywood machine, the results can vary wildly. Last year, Cannes favorite Jacques Audiard made his American debut with The Sisters Brothers, a Western that did well with critics and was embraced in his native France but flopped big time at the box office....

A new report claims that the HomePod project had an extremely messy history. It’s said to have had changing objectives, and been cancelled and revived ‘several times’ over a five-year period. Bloomberg says that it started as a hobby project by a group of engineers who originally envisaged it as a proper HiFi speaker. One prototype was said to be around three feet high, putting it in the company of conventional HiFi speakers....

A few nights ago, I was a few ocean wave crashes away from falling asleep when a thought populated my mind. I desperately wanted to capture the idea without breaking the dark with my iPhone screen. Easy, I have a HomePod mini in the bedroom, so I’ll just use Siri! That’s when I realized the HomePod still has a handy voice feature left to learn. How it works now Writing songs and pairing lyrics with guitar is very cathartic for me....

HermeticWiper has been active since Feb. 23, 2022, and has impacted machines and Ukraine networks. The name attributed to this malware, “HermeticWiper,” is based on a stolen digital certificate stolen from a company called Hermetica Digital Ltd. With a lot of features introduced by its authors, HermeticWiper can bypass Windows security features and gain write permissions to many low-level data structures on disk. One of the destructive procedures implemented by its developers is the capacity to re-write fragments on the disc to make the recovery process impossible....

First adapted in 1984, there are now a whopping ten Children of the Corn films, despite almost all of them being boring enough to induce sleep. While Stephen King has written an ever-expanding mountain of horror stories, some long enough to be told over multiple films, it’s a bit perplexing just how much of his shorter work has also been adapted for the big screen. One such short story (clocking in at less than 50 pages) to get the feature film treatment was Children of the Corn, a selection from King’s Night Shift collection....

By now, you have figured out the above is fake — generated by neural networks — to have the target convincingly say whatever the puppeteer wishes them to say. In August this year, it was revealed a cybercriminal used deepfake technology (i.e., deep learning) to scam a company out of $243,000. The fraud began back in March 2019 when the scammer created a deepfake imitating the voice of the CEO of the victim’s parent company....

Apple is set to reveal new Macs on Thursday at what will likely be the last special event hosted at the company’s 1 Infinite Loop campus in Cupertino. Early next year Apple’s giant Campus 2 headquarters will open and include a dedicated theater for these types of events, so the surprise Mac event is one last hurrah for the current Apple HQ. And even though it may be about to be replaced with something bigger and better, 1 Infinite Loop does have something fairly new of its own: a dedicated Apple Store that reopened last fall....

My original review of Apple’s HomePod smart speaker leaned heavily on optimism for future features that seemed so obvious, they were inevitable. Some features like calendar access and multiple timers showed up after several months. More recently, HomePod has gained multiple user support — a feature glaringly missing at launch for a smart speaker with home in its name. HomePod was a tough recommendation at the start, tuned only for customers deep in the Apple ecosystem with Apple Music, Podcasts, and HomeKit control....

Going up for sale as a Kickstarter campaign later this week, ex-Apple engineer Addison Shelton is launching the Swiss Army knife of iPhone cases with a new product called “TaskOne.” Made of sturdy aircraft aluminum and polycarbonate, the TaskOne’s enclosure houses 16 tools including a 2.5″ knife, saw, screwdrivers, and 11 other tools such as a bottle opener, kickstand, pliers, wire cutters, wire strippers, 6 allen wrenches, and a ruler....

iPad 3 parts are supposedly cropping up all over China. Following yesterday’s spy shots of a purported iPad 3 enclosure (here and here), Japanese blog Macotakara today published the above photo allegedly depicting a high-resolution panel manufactured by Sharp. According to the blog, the part was obtained by parts reseller Eye Lab Factory, which means take this with a few pinches of salt. It looks like 9.7-inch panel, and Macotakara said its flat cable corresponds to a similar cable connecting the iPad 2’s LCD panel to the motherboard....

Homecam is a handy HomeKit app on iOS and tvOS that specializes in letting you view multiple video streams simultaneously. The latest version of Homecam builds on top of the app’s multi-feed view by adding new data layers, room control, and more to the Apple TV version. Homecam is essential for HomeKit cameras like the Logi Circle 2 and D-Link Omna 180 HD — not just for viewing playback on multiple streams at the same time, but also because Apple doesn’t offer its own Home app on Apple TV yet....

Apple has put a renewed emphasis on HomeKit this year with iOS 16, bringing a completely redesigned Home app ahead of the looming Matter standard launch. One key aspect of HomeKit is having a home hub, which allows for features like out-of-home control, automations, and more. Apple has traditionally allowed HomePod, Apple TV, and iPad devices to serve as home hubs. With the release of iOS and iPadOS 16 this year, however, iPads will no longer be supported as home hubs....
