We've heard rumors for years that Apple was working on an iPad-style display from which you'd be able to manage smart home devices. It was described as the company's answer to Amazon's Echo Show or Google's Nest Hub. Reports suggested it would be called the HomePad, but thankfully Apple steered clear of causing any confusion with the HomePod. Instead, the device is called the HomeView. This gizmo has a tilting, seven-square-inch Liquid Retina touch display -- perhaps paving the way for the touchscreen MacBook that's said to be coming very soon -- that's attached to a base with a speaker. You can place one on a table or countertop and mount the other to a wall.

A bee stings the back of a patient receiving treatment at the workshop of Sayed al-Sayeh, an apitherapist who originally trained as an agricultural engineer, in a suburb of Giza, Egypt on June 11, 2021. Al-Sayeh offers his traditional medicine treatment free of charge, in principle using bees' sting venom to treat rheumatic pain, nerve inflammation, and arthritis. A honey bee () stings a victim, and the stinger will still pump venom into a wound even after it has fully detached from the bee's body. Thanks to some high-speed video, we may finally know the secrets behind this sting.

Drone strike kills 30 people in Sudan's Blue Nile region Share Drone strike kills 30 people in Sudan's Blue Nile region on social media At least 30 displaced people, including women and children, have been killed and dozens of others have been wounded following a drone attack in southeastern Sudan. The governor of Wad al-Mahi province told Al Jazeera on Friday that a drone belonging to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeted the centre of the province, killing 26 women and four children. He said the drone was launched from "inside Ethiopia", according to the AFP news agency. Al Jazeera Arabic's Sudan correspondent, Wadah Al-Tahir, explained that the attack was the latest in a wave of drone strikes targeting the Blue Nile region and this time Wad al-Mahi province near the city of Damazin was struck. Friday's attack was just outside a displacement camp, near an informal gold mining site, where women earn a daily wage using chemicals and their bare hands to clear gold nuggets from the earth extracted by men.

As Russia's attacks on Ukraine's cities intensify and autumn's cooler temperatures hint at another tough winter to come, Ukrainians are wrestling with how to meet the twin challenges ahead: Russian drone and missile strikes and the biting cold. It was a very difficult winter last year in Kyiv, says mother of two Mariia Shostak, who is now packing her bags and leaving her small flat. With prolonged periods of sub-zero temperatures and frequent power cuts brought about by Russia's attack on the country's power grid, last winter was one of the hardest so far. There were some days and weeks that were unbearable.

The International Trade Centre (ITC), a joint World Trade Organization and United Nations agency that has trained digital workers in Kakuma, estimates jobs such as transcription, data entry, translation and web research have declined by about 50% since 2022, said ITC spokesperson Susanna Pak. Oxford Internet Institute research similarly shows that growth of popular AI tools coincided with a measurable drop in many of the tech jobs promoted as paths to refugee self-sufficiency. Merci Biamungu, a refugee trained in 3D modeling, said he regularly received opportunities with guaranteed pay throughout 2023 and 2024. However, in one of his final projects, he and 20 other workers competed in teams of five to design a 3D model of a potato. The best-performing group received a reward of 15,000 Kenyan shillings, or about $116, split among the five. Now, the AI tools that Biamungu believes he helped train can build 3D images faster, eliminating the need for workers like him, he said. It's now been two years since Biamungu has found remote work in tech.

Spotify got on the BTS bandwagon earlier this year, celebrating the band's return to the studio with a trivia game about the K-pop idol group. Now, that Music Quiz feature has been expanded to test fans' knowledge of more than 2,000 artists with questions about "music trivia, album cover art reveals, and audio track previews spanning an artist's music, career, and defining moments." Music Quiz is beginning to roll out today for Premium subscribers in the US, the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, Nigeria, South Africa and Indonesia. The content will be in English at launch, but additional languages and artists will be added over time. The streaming service has built a reputation for offering fun widgets and insights into listening habits, from the splashy year-end Wrapped reports to the liner notes-esque SongDNA to the unfortunately necessary labels for music that's not generative AI.
