M3 Ultra Mac Studio Users Unable to Upgrade to macOS Tahoe, Resolution Postponed

Apple introduced macOS Tahoe this Monday along with iOS 26 and various other new operating system updates. Nonetheless, owners of one of the pricier Macs available have reported challenges in updating their M3 Ultra Mac Studio to the newest version of macOS. 

As stated in an Apple Discussion forum, users with this particular Mac encounter problems when trying to upgrade from macOS Sequoia 15.7 to macOS Tahoe 26.0. The computer prepares the update, restarts, and when it indicates that the update will take “less than a minute,” the Mac returns to the Sequoia login screen. Once they input their credentials, a notification appears stating that an unexpected reboot has occurred.

A forum member identified that this problem arises because the Mac cannot load the macOS Tahoe driver for the Apple Neural Engine chip in the Mac Studio. Consequently, there is currently no action users can take to receive this update, as Apple is in the process of developing a solution.

Apple Unveils Upcoming Resolution for Camera Issue Impacting iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air

“`html
The iPhone 17 series and the iPhone Air models are set to arrive in stores this Friday. Although reviewers have highlighted the enhancements in this updated generation, one tester came across a rather peculiar camera malfunction impacting their iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max review devices.

Henry Casey from CNN Underscored observed an anomaly in certain pictures captured with the iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro Max during a concert. Some images featured small blacked-out areas on the large LED display situated behind the band. While Apple has been attempting to rectify flares or minor light dots in iPhone photos taken with direct light sources, this represents an entirely new camera problem.

Thankfully, in CNN’s assessment, Apple has already acknowledged the problem and plans to implement a remedy. An Apple representative stated that this is “an event that can occur in very rare situations when an LED light display is exceptionally bright and directed straight into the camera. Apple has pinpointed a solution and will release it in a forthcoming software update.”

Viewing Sites for the Partial Solar Eclipse on September 21

eclipses of the Sun and Moon. In most years, there are multiple chances to witness the astonishing event of one celestial body blocking another, and one of those moments is approaching soon. On September 21, 2025, a partial solar eclipse is expected to occur. Dubbed the “equinox eclipse” — due to its timing just one day prior to the autumnal equinox — this specific eclipse will only be visible from New Zealand, Antarctica, and certain areas of the South Pacific.

Experts predict that there will be an 86% coverage of the Sun by the Moon this time, with optimal viewing likely to be found in the southern regions of New Zealand and from the numerous research stations in Antarctica. Want the prime spots? You’ll need to be in the Southern Hemisphere.

Regrettably, this marks the final solar eclipse of the year, implying that most of the Earth will not get the chance to step outside and gaze up at the sky to see the Moon concealing the Sun. However, that doesn’t imply you can’t observe it at all.

Google Improves Discover for Easier Tracking of Preferred Sites and Creators

add your favorite sources to your Discover page; Google is also introducing fresh methods to discover various types of content you enjoy, even from multiple platforms.

A recent post on the Google blog indicates that Google is beginning to implement a feature that will allow content from X, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and more to appear in Discover. This means you’ll soon encounter more than just news and articles.

However, the blog post doesn’t clarify whether Google will provide users any control over the new content types they see from creators on their pages. Personally, I prefer not to see posts from X and other social media platforms in Discover, so I hope we can disable them or filter them out if we want to focus on websites.

TSA Guidelines Regarding the Transport of Video Game Consoles in Carry-On Bags

a full-sized gaming console can be somewhat of a challenging task. Even preparing a PlayStation or Xbox for a journey by road necessitates thorough organization, as the last thing you desire is for your valuable equipment to be jostled incorrectly. The same applies to air travel, which also involves getting both you and your console through TSA security checks.

If you were unaware, most airport security personnel are generally quite lenient when it comes to handling your gaming devices. As stated on the TSA’s website, full-sized video game consoles are permitted to be transported in either a carry-on bag or a checked bag.

There’s even a specific Xbox mention in the TSA’s list of items that are usually acceptable for flights. You should also encounter no problems bringing along controllers, headsets, and various other gaming peripherals. All you really need to focus on is making sure all your cables are secured, and that the bag containing the console fits in an overhead compartment or beneath your seat.

Google Launches Windows Application for Concurrent Web and Google Drive Searches

Google has largely refrained from creating its own native desktop applications — even requiring users to rely on a web browser for tools like Google Docs, Google Sheets, and others. However, it appears that the company is now shifting gears with its new Google app for Windows.

According to Google, the purpose of the app is to “assist you in finding what you need” more swiftly than before. It bears a strong resemblance to other Windows applications like Everything, which are designed to facilitate quick searches for files, folders, and more on your computer. Nonetheless, the new Google app for Windows goes beyond this functionality.

In addition to enabling searches of local files, Google mentions that the app will also let users search for files within their Google Drive and look for information on the internet itself. This app is part of an ongoing Google Search Labs initiative and is currently available exclusively for Windows. To try it, you’ll need to activate the experiment first and then click Download app.

Google power at the touch of a button

A notable advantage of this app is that it can be managed using a straightforward set of keyboard shortcuts. To bring up the search bar, simply press Alt + Space, and you can begin typing what you wish to find. The app will consolidate search results from the web, local files, and Google Drive. It does operate on a single account, so searching across multiple Google accounts for the required file won’t be possible.

Additionally, the app features Google Lens directly integrated, allowing you to select and search anything visible on your screen at any time, similar to how you would on an Android phone that employs Google’s Gemini AI features like Circle to Search. The advantage here is that you can easily translate images and text or utilize Google’s AI Mode for assistance in answering questions and explaining concepts.

The app is also quite customizable. After you install it on your computer, you can click your profile picture to access a menu that includes options to switch the theme from light to dark, set the keyboard shortcut for launching the app, and modify the app’s access to your Drive and local files at any point. A Windows 10 PC is required to use the app.

Liam Neeson’s 2025 Action Thriller Emerges as Netflix’s Most Streamed Movie

Netflix genuinely ought to reconsider the designation of its section within the app that displays the daily rankings for the “Top 10” films. Repeatedly, this segment delivers third-party films that A) have no viewership during their initial release, and B) are titles that nobody appreciates. If one isn’t cautious, it may create the illusion that these films are ascending to the #1 position based solely on their merit.

The most recent Hollywood disaster that has somehow soared to the top of Netflix’s Top 10 films list? That would be Liam Neeson’s “Ice Road: Vengeance,” which is presently the #1 film on Netflix in the U.S. — surpassing, I should mention, “KPop Demon Hunters” at #4. I’m aware the latter has begun its decline in viewership after months of dominance as essentially the blockbuster release on Netflix this summer. But seriously.

Were you even aware that this film was a thing? Because the handful of individuals who did recognize that this (checks notes) sequel to 2021’s “Ice Road” was indeed a real film have given it some remarkably poor ratings.
