WhatsApp has long let you turn read receipts off entirely, but if you keep them on, there's no easy way on Android to see what someone sent you without them knowing you've read it. The notification helps, unless you've already swiped it away or have too many messages piling up. iPhone users have had a workaround for a while now, and it looks like Android users will finally get it too. On iOS, you can long-press a conversation in the chat list to get a pop-up with its most recent messages, and doing so doesn't trigger the blue ticks. The window doesn't scroll, though, so longer messages or...

Marylebone theatre, London Trevor Nunn directs Torben Betts’s intriguing but flawed play following US journalist Dorothy Kilgallen’s theories about the Kennedys A smartly dressed woman hammers away at an old-style typewriter in a drawing room. She is the real-life American journalist and conspiracy theorist Dorothy Kilgallen (Janie Dee) and bears the gimlet-eyed look of Angela Lansbury in Murder, She Wrote. Torben Betts’s play could be called Marilyn, She Wrote. It is the 1960s, Marilyn Monroe has been found dead in her bed and Kilgallen thinks both John F Kennedy and his brother Robert F Kennedy (Jolyon Coy) had something to do with it. Her investigations form part of an unpublished book which suggests links between a political cover-up and underworld crime that, she argues, led to Monroe’s death aged 36. Continue reading...

E-bikes, noisy headphones, flytipping: Burnham is weighing in on areas that make a difference to how people feel about life Imagine waking up one morning to find a humiliating video of you, filmed without your knowledge or control, plastered all over social media. Maybe you were sweating at the gym; or maybe at work, in a bar, or walking down the street, where you never realised the stranger hassling you for your number was covertly filming for his social media channel dedicated to shaming women who won’t date him. This week ministers hinted at a potential crackdown on so-called pervert glasses, wifi-enabled spectacles that let the wearer capture video of people around them, after multiple reports of men using them to harass women. (Though a small flashing light on the frame is meant to warn that the user is filming, it’s easily missed and worryingly easily disabled.) If so, it would be a small win, admittedly, in the context of what feels like an endless losing battle against big tech. But it would give young women back some small sense of control in life, and that matters perhaps more than we think. Gaby Hinsliff is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

The monster-romance movie, starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård, is a Chaucerian romp, and, at times, it is even sexy. But one wishes the film were braver—that it had more to say about the grotesque and its power to drive attraction.

You can add loyalty cards, gym membership cards, etc. to the Wallet app on your iPhone and leave the plastic at home. Here's how. (via Cult of Mac - Your source for the latest Apple news, rumors, analysis, reviews, how-tos and deals.)

A new "Backglow" app created by designer Juan Buis lets you customize the illuminated Apple logo on the lid of the new MacBook Pro models. The free version of the app allows you to manually adjust the brightness level of the Apple logo, independent of the MacBook Pro's display brightness level. You can also turn it off entirely with a single click, rather than having to use Terminal. Another free option is a "Breathe" mode that makes the logo's light gently pulse similarly to the sleep indicator light on older MacBooks. A one-time payment unlocks the Pro version of the app: $9 for a limited time or $15 later. This unlocks two additional modes: "Music" mode makes the logo's light move to the beat of the music you play on your Mac, while "Agents" mode makes the light pulse while Claude Code is working and blinks when your attention is needed. here's what it can do: - manually set logo brightness (apple doesn't let you) - breathe slowly, like the old mac sleep light - pulse to your music - blink when claude needs you - turn the logo light off with one click try it here: https://t.co/WZTWMq5yAf https://t.co/FI0o9ayKBZ — juan (@juanbuis) November 6, 2026 Apple began phasing out the glowing logo on MacBooks in 2015, but it brought back the feature with the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with PROLED XDR displays released on Friday. On older MacBooks, the logo was illuminated by the display's backlight, but OLED displays do not have a backlight, so a new method was required. Daring Fireball's John Gruber was told that Apple engineered a "custom light source just to enable the logo to glow once again, without adding any additional thickness to the lid." Why? "Because it's awesome," he heard an Apple representative say. By default, Apple says the logo is illuminated whenever the Mac is awake. It automatically brightens or dims based on the screen's brightness level and your environment's lighting conditions detected by the computer's ambient light…

The redesigned icon retains the app's treble clef, but now rendered in shaded black against a white background.
