The long rumored foldable iPad may never see the light of day.

Apple has supposedly been working on a folding tablet since at least 2023. The rumored release has slipped from 2024, to 2026, to 2028, to 2029, and now, according to Mark Gurman, it might not happen at all. While it was a priority for incoming CEO John Ternus, its future is now in doubt:

Two racers break the two-hour barrier in London Marathon.

Sabastian Sawe was first to cross the finish, setting a new world record with a time of 1:59:30. Yomif Kejelcha wasn’t far behind, finishing in 1:59:41, making him the second man to run a sub-two-hour marathon.

There are dozens of exhibitions that you can walk through in your browser. Some feature 3D scanned sculptures, others are glitchy worlds populated by sound experiments, and some have branching poetry for you to explore.

OpenAI’s super PAC might be funding a ‘news’ site staffed by AI reporters.

Nathan Calvin, from advocacy group Encode, received an interview request from Michael Chen, a reporter at The Wire by Acutus. But it turns out Chen probably doesn’t exist, and most of the “reporters” at the suspiciously pro-AI Acutus appear to be bots. It’s just the tip of a financial trail that appears to lead to OpenAI.

ADT confirms customer data was stolen in a breach.

In a small percentage of cases, dates of birth and the last four digits of Social Security numbers or Tax IDs were included. Critically, no payment information — including bank accounts or credit cards — was accessed, and customer security systems were not affected or compromised in any way.
