Face ID has long been an integral part of the iPhone, but it requires a sizable Dynamic Island at the top of the display. While this design is a significant improvement over the notch, it still appears outdated compared to modern smartphones. Apple is now reportedly planning to refine the design by introducing under-display Face ID.

Future iPhone Pro models will likely feature under-display Face ID within the next few years, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. As part of this transition, Apple reportedly plans to move ”some components” of the Dynamic Island beneath the screen, aligning with its goal of reducing the feature’s size and delivering an ”uninterrupted screen.”

Camera Control had a rocky start when the iPhone 16 launched. Early reviews found the button overly complicated and finicky, sometimes feeling more like a gimmick than the tentpole feature Apple pitched it as. I didn’t have the best first impressions of Camera Control either, but that’s completely changed in the six months since I got my iPhone 16 Pro.

The Last Of Us is the rarest of things – a live action video game adaptation that doesn’t suck.

Released in 2023 to critical acclaim, HBO’s The Last Of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilisation has been destroyed. Joel (Pedro Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal and heartbreaking journey as they travel across America and depend on each other for survival.

If you woke up to a Windows PC suddenly without Microsoft’s Copilot app installed, you didn’t dream the last few years of AI hype, Microsoft just made a mistake. The latest monthly Windows 11 update that rolled out on March 11 ”unintentionally uninstalled and unpinned” the AI assistant, according to a Microsoft support article spotted by The Verge.

Microsoft is aware that Copilot’s gone missing and is ”working on a resolution to address this issue.” For now, if you want Copilot back, you can redownload its app from the Microsoft Store and manually pin it to your taskbar. Just like any new feature, since Copilot was added to Windows in 2023, there’s been people interested in removing it. If you weren’t satisfied with unpinning the AI from your taskbar, you previously had to do a bit of work to actually remove it. Microsoft’s update saves you some time — at least until it’s fixed.

It’s no secret that Russia has taken advantage of the Internet’s global reach and low distribution costs to flood the online world with huge quantities of propaganda (as have other nations): Techdirt has been writing about Putin’s troll army for a decade now. Russian organizations like the Internet Research Agency have been paying large numbers of people to write blog and social media posts, comments on Web sites, create YouTube videos, and edit Wikipedia entries, all pushing the Kremlin line, or undermining Russia’s adversaries through hoaxes, smears and outright lies. But technology moves on, and propaganda networks evolve too. The American Sunlight Project (ASP) has been studying one of them in particular: Pravda (Russian for “truth”), a network of sites that aggregate pro-Russian material produced elsewhere. Recently, ASP has noted some significant changes (pdf) there:
