This popular 360-degree rotating pet camera is the best camera I've tested at this price point.
Ryan Christoffel, 9to5Mac:
Alarms and timers are now harder to dismiss thanks to a new ‘Slide to stop’ gesture. Both alarms and timers were updated in iOS 26 to utilize a new design with much larger on-screen buttons than before. Now in iOS 26.1 beta 2, Apple has replaced the ‘Stop’ button with a new sliding gesture that requires a little more intentionality. This should make accidental alarm dismissals more rare.
That’s one of several changes that caught my eye. Seems like a great idea. Another notable change: Slide Over returns to iPadOS.

One of those days when most everything is hard, yet there are still a few moments of clarity. The view out from Whole Foods. Took a little time for breakfast tacos and work in between visits to the hospital. 😞

“Gotham’s one of the best teams in the league,” Sofia Huerta told the broadcast after her Seattle Reign managed to hold the accelerating side to a scoreless draw. “Third place, really hard team to beat.” Then came the kicker, punctuated by a dark chuckle: “They just acquired Jaedyn Shaw, you know?”
That Huerta, one of the league’s best defenders, mentioned Gotham’s newest arrival unprompted proves the notoriety that Shaw has already earned in her short career. In her first full professional season, Shaw, then 18, was a core part of the San Diego Wave team that won the 2023 shield. In 2024, she had a standout year with the senior USWNT, earning 17 caps and Olympic gold.

This past week saw the biggest WNBA action of the season: Games 1 and 2 of the WNBA Finals, yes, but also the opening two rounds of the WNBPA vs. WNBA collective bargaining showdown in the court of public opinion. As such, Harry and I were joined by two guests on this week's Nothing But Respect to talk through both conflicts. Jordan Robinson of the great Women's Hoops Show joined us, as did returning champion Maitreyi Anantharaman, live from Las Vegas, on the casino floor, in between dice rolls.
There's ball-knowledge dispensed (Jordan is a skilled hooper), and the second half turned into an unintentional episode of Namedropping as we talked forever about Cathy.
