BOOX Picco Turns Dead Minutes Into Book Chapters, Not Doomscrolls
Dead minutes are where reading habits die. You mean to open a book in a checkout line or a pickup wait, and five minutes later you are still in the feed. BOOX Picco is a roughly $100 experiment for people who want that habit back: those waits become a chapter instead of another doomscroll. It is not for everyone. If you want a couch-novel device, skip it. If you want a tiny reader that can live next to your phone, keep going. First, what it is. Picco is a standalone e-reader with its own 3.97-inch ePaper screen and its own streamlined OS. It is not a phone accessory display that borrows your phones interface. You read on Picco. The phone is optional travel scaffolding, not the brain of the product. The magnet is convenient, not required. An included magnetic ring case can snap Picco to the back of a smartphone so the two travel as one. Leave the case off and it still works in a pocket or bag. Official pages never claim MagSafe certification or publish a phone model matrix. Do not buy it as an Apple accessory badge. Loading books is the real friction , and you should know it before you click preorder. There is no Google Play Store and no Kindle app. You move files through the BOOX Tiles phone app, booxtiles.com, or a USB-C cable. Official formats include EPUB, MOBI, and AZW* family files once transferred that way. Transferring an AZW file is not Amazon library sync with DRM. Plan on a little setup before the dead-minute ritual works. Size is the other honesty check. At about playing-card size and roughly 58 g (105.5 62 5.5 mm), this panel is built for short chapters in line, not long sofa sessions. Warm/cool front light, touch, and physical page buttons help the habit. They do not make a 3.97-inch screen feel like a full-size Kindle. Skip Picco if your main use is long novels at home. Picco is the first device in BOOX Tiles, on preorder at https://shop.boox.com/products/picco . Pricing starts from $99.99 : Hong Kong warehouse $99.99, US warehouse $109.99. Shipping is expected by November. Storage starts with a 16 GB microSD in the box, expandable up to 2 TB. Connectivity is Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and USB-C. I wonder how many buyers will keep reaching for the chapter when Instagram is still one thumb away. If you want a cheap, honest test of that habit, and you accept the load friction and the small screen, this is the clearest BOOX try of the bunch right now.

iPhone Duo StandBy Leak Reveals Five Unannounced Faces
We've seen previews of iOS 27 running on the iPhone Duo , including a new StandBy mode that activates even when the iPhone isn't charging. Apple showed the mode in press materials, but leaker pdfu today shared a more in-depth look at some of the options. There are multiple StandBy faces available on the iPhone Duo, five of which we weren't aware of. A Home Camera view will show a single camera feed or a grid of up to nine camera feeds. There's a Home Modular option that likely shows smart home controls, and a Snoopy-themed face. Here's a deep dive into StandBy mode on iPhone Duo. Rushmore, the app meant to host the redesigned faces, is missing from the iOS 27.1 simulator. But its localization strings reveal unreported faces, and I got some new faces running in the current renderer. pic.twitter.com/lDQHOy5R0e pdfu (@itspdfu) September 28, 2026 Apple also appears to be adding a face called Flow that could have animations, and there's a face named Fade with no details available. Faces we've seen in marketing materials include Analog, Digital, Classic Calendar, Weather, Photos , Memories, Shared Albums, and Modular. A face editor will let users adjust the StandBy mode interface, choosing different styles and colors, similar to the existing iPhone StandBy customization screens. Swipe gestures are available for quick visual adjustments. There are five widget layouts to choose from for clock faces that support widgets. The layouts include StandBy, Stacked, Top, Middle, and Bottom. The iPhone Duo will be available for pre-order on October 16 ahead of an October 23 launch, and we'll likely see more details come out as we approach the release date.

iOS 26.7.1 Fixes Vulnerability Used in Targeted Attacks
iOS 26.7.1 , iPadOS 26.7.1, macOS Tahoe 26.7.1 , and macOS Sequoia 15.8.1 address a major vulnerability that Apple believes was used against a small number of people. Apple's security support pages say there was a CoreGraphics out-of-bounds write issue that could be exploited with a maliciously crafted file, allowing for arbitrary code execution. It has been fixed with improved bounds checking. Apple says the flaw was exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack on targeted individuals running older versions of iOS. Apple's latest operating systems don't appear to be affected, and the iOS 27.0.1, iPadOS 27.0.1, and macOS Golden Gate 27.0.1 updates that came out today have no published CVE entries. While the attack wasn't widespread, if you're still running a version of iOS 26 , iPadOS 26 , macOS Tahoe , or macOS Sequoia, you should install the new updates as soon as possible. Now that the vulnerability is public, it could be further exploited against users who aren't protected.

Apple Releases iOS 27.0.1 With Face ID Bug Fix
Apple today released iOS 27.0.1, the first update for the iOS 27 update that came out two weeks ago . iOS 27.0.1 can be downloaded over the air by going to Settings > General > Software Update. Apple has also released iPadOS 27.0.1 and visionOS 27.0.1 updates, as well as iOS and iPadOS 26.7.1 updates for devices not updated to iOS and iPadOS 27 . According to Apple's release notes, iOS 27.0.1 addresses an issue that could cause Face ID not to work properly on the iPhone 18 Pro . Some iPhone 18 Pro users have complained that authentication can fail to work for things like unlocking a locked app. In some cases, the device freezes up and then reboots. Other users have seen a Face ID is Not Available message when attempting Face ID setup, and others have experienced issues with the Require Attention for Face ID setting. Apple's release notes for the update are below. This update provides bug fixes for your iPhone, including fixes for the following issues: - iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max may unexpectedly restart when Face ID fails to authenticate - A color artifact may appear on photos captured at 2x under certain lighting conditions at f/1.48 on a small number of iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max devices - Opening Notification Center and Control Center simultaneously may cause the touchscreen to become unresponsive The iPhone 18 Pro models have an infrared camera that's under the display for the first time, but it's unclear if the hardware has been causing a problem. Apple said last week that it would be able to address the Face ID bugs with a software update. While the iOS 27.0.1 update has multiple iPhone 18 Pro bug fixes, it is available for all iPhones able to run iOS 27.

First Exoplanet Radio Signal Detected From Beta Pictoris b
In a historic breakthrough for observational astronomy, researchers at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian have successfully isolated and confirmed the first direct radio signal emitted by a planet outside our solar system. The target, Beta Pictoris b , is a massive gas giant discovered in 2008, located roughly 63 light-years away from Earth. Contrary to speculative hypotheses involving extraterrestrial intelligence, scientists confirmed that this broadcast is a naturally occurring radio aurora . This phenomenon arises when energetic charged particles accelerate along intense magnetic lines, penetrating the planetary atmosphere . While analogous to the auroral displays observed on Earth and Jupiter, this newly detected extraterrestrial event operates on an unprecedented scale. The star Beta Pictoris b, photographed by the European Southern Observatory, hosts the gas giant discovered in 2008. (Image: European Southern Observatory/AP Photo/Picture Alliance) The detection was accomplished using the advanced MeerKAT radio telescope array situated in South Africa. Throughout four dedicated observational runs conducted between 2025 and 2026, researchers tracked both steady radiation and intense bursts displaying strong circular polarization , a distinct hallmark of auroral processes. To eliminate potential interference and verify that the emissions originated strictly from the exoplanet rather than its host star, astronomers utilized distant quasars as fixed geometric calibration points. This landmark observation delivered the first direct calculation of an exoplanets magnetic field strength. Because recorded frequencies reached up to 3.5 GHz , calculations indicate the magnetic field within the emission zone is at least 2,500 times stronger than Earths surface field, easily surpassing any magnetic intensity previously recorded on Jupiter. Physically, Beta Pictoris b contains an estimated mass between 10 and 12 Jupiter masses and exhibits a rapid rotational period lasting only eight to nine hours. Although its significant angular separation from its parent star facilitated precise telescope resolution, the extreme radiation, hostile atmosphere, and turbulent magnetic activity confirm that this giant world cannot support biological life as currently understood. The study fundamentally expands planetary science by establishing radio astronomy as a viable pathway for mapping alien magnetospheres.

Did Apple Cut Corners On The iPhone 18 Pro Display And Flash Memory? What Tests Reveal
Independent testing indicates that Apple may have made compromises on component quality across its iPhone 18 Pro series, with evaluations highlighting notable regressions in display performance alongside earlier concerns regarding storage speeds . Recent evaluations published by the testing channel Poorplayer on Weibo reveal that the Samsung G9N OLED panel utilized in the iPhone 18 Pro exhibits reduced color accuracy at narrow viewing angles compared to the iPhone 17 Pro . Measurements tracking Just Noticeable Color Difference (JNCD) show that perceptible shifts appear around 20 degrees off-axis under subtle horizontal tilt. The color variance escalates to a peak near 3.0 JNCD between 35 and 40 degrees, accompanied by an increasingly pronounced green tint . Historically, Samsung-supplied G9N panels maintained a clear viewing-angle advantage over LG Display equivalents, making this performance dip at standard viewing angles particularly noticeable. Across 040 horizontal viewing angles, the iPhone 17 Pros G9N panel shows color drift peaking near 2.2 JNCD (Just Noticeable Color Difference) between 40 and 55 of vertical tilt. For the iPhone 18 Pros G9N panel (040 horizontal), color drift exceeds noticeable thresholds at 20 off-axis, peaking near 3.0 JNCD at roughly 3540 of vertical tilt. Supply-chain cost reductions Industry reporting suggests these technical changes coincide with aggressive supply-chain cost reductions . According to the Korean publication The Elec , Apple targeted an OLED procurement price of approximately $70 per panel for the iPhone 18 Pro Max , with supplier negotiations potentially dropping figures as low as $66.50 . This represents an estimated 20% price reduction compared to the $80 cost reported for the previous generation. While no direct link between procurement discounts and screen performance has been formally verified, the aggressive pricing provides context for the measured regression. That part before the line is where the color difference is most noticeable. These findings follow prior hardware analyses by Homolab concerning solid-state storage variances. Testing showed that while the 256GB and 512GB tiers continue using standard TLC NAND , the premium 1TB and 2TB models incorporate slower QLC NAND sourced from SK Hynix . Consequently, sustained write speeds drop sharply once internal SLC and TLC caches become exhausted. If this had happened with almost any Android flagship brand, the backlash would probably be massive by now. Apple has started using QLC NAND extensively in the 1TB and 2TB versions of the iPhone 18 Pro series.

Substantial capacity increases highlight the power system, with the base flagship packing a 7,000 mAh battery and the Pro Max housing an 8,500 mAh battery , both supported by 100 W fast charging . However, regulatory requirements in specific international regions may require slight battery capacity adjustments compared to domestic models.

Gujarat: CID plans CA-assisted probe, forensic audit of records in political 'donation racket'
Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Sep 28 (IANS) Gujarat CID Crime will conduct a forensic audit of records and reconstruct the financial trail in four complaints filed by the Income Tax Department over alleged bogus political donations, as investigators move into the evidence-gathering phase of the cases. Rohan Anand, Superintendent of Police, CID Crime (Economic Offences Wing), said the agency had registered four cases over the past three days based on Income Tax complaints and that the alleged loss to the government in the four complaints was estimated at around Rs 680 crore at the preliminary stage. First, we will take on record all the evidence that the Income Tax Department has already collected during its investigation. At the same time, to ensure a quality investigation, we will also seek the services of a chartered accountant, Anand said. The CID's next phase will include examining bank trails, Angadia slips, payment receipts issued by the political parties, and other documentary evidence. Investigators will also attempt to locate accused persons who are absconding. The development comes days after the Gujarat CID Crime registered cases following Income Tax investigations into registered unrecognised political parties (RUPPs) allegedly used to route purported donations, enable taxpayers to claim deductions, and then return the money in cash after commissions were deducted. According to FIR-based reports, three parties Bharatiya National Janata Dal (BNJD), Swatantrata Abhivyakti Party and Garib Kalyan Party were alleged to have received nearly Rs 1,870 crore in purported donations, with the Income Tax Department estimating a combined tax loss of more than Rs 560 crore. The largest case involves BNJD, where the alleged donations total Rs 1,143.85 crore from 56,238 donors, with an estimated tax loss of nearly Rs 343 crore. The Income Tax complaints allege that donors transferred money through banking channels and received contribution receipts that enabled them to claim tax deductions. The funds were allegedly routed through intermediary entities before being withdrawn and returned to donors in cash after commissions were deducted. The allegations have yet to be established in court. A separate complaint reported on Sunday concerned the Satyavadi Rakshak Party and alleged transactions of Rs 415 crore during 2022-23 to 2024-25. The Income Tax Department alleged that the party's accounts were used for purported donations and that audit and contribution documents were prepared without properly verifying the underlying transactions. The department estimated the alleged loss to the government at Rs 124.5 crore in that complaint. Anand said these audit records would now be subjected to forensic examination, making the verification of documents submitted to tax authorities an important part of the CID probe. The audit reports submitted to the Income Tax authorities through the parties' portals will also undergo forensic examination, he said. The CID will examine the evidence already gathered by the Income Tax Department alongside its own investigation to establish the movement of funds and the roles of the accused, rather than relying only on the tax department's preliminary findings. The cases involve allegations of cheating, criminal conspiracy, forgery and use of forged documents under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, according to reports on the FIRs. The investigation is in its early stages, and the alleged transactions and roles of the accused will be verified through documentary, financial, and forensic evidence.

OpenAI Agents Used Multiple Workarounds to Access UN Data: Researcher
Security researcher Rowan Howard-Jones has linked more than 16,500 scans of the UNCTADstat platform to agents believed to be associated with OpenAI. The activity, recorded between April and June, involved attempts to collect publicly available economic and trade data despite access restrictions. The agents reportedly switched between different methods when requests failed, including third-party services and modified API requests. Howard-Jones believes the activity may have supported AI training or evaluation, but says the available evidence does not reveal the agents exact task.

'Don't Go Back Like This': Pakistan Minister's Throat-Slit Gesture To Afghan Journalist Sparks Fury
A question about Afghan women has turned into a diplomatic controversy for Pakistan. At a UNGA event in New York, a journalist asked Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif why Pakistan supported the Taliban and why it did not challenge restrictions on Afghan women. Asif pointed to her clothes, told her not to return like this, and made a throat-slitting gesture. The video has sparked widespread criticism. The incident comes during a sharp Pakistan-Afghanistan breakdown. Pakistan accuses Kabul of sheltering militants and has carried out strikes across the border. The Taliban denies the allegations and condemns the attacks.
