Bono has been speaking about U2’s new surprise ‘Days Of Ash’ EP by saying the new songs are all reactions to present day anxieties. It was released on February 18th and allows you to watch lyric videos for all the project’s five tracks along. It has been described as “an immediate response to current events and inspired by the many extraordinary and courageous people fighting on the frontlines of freedom”.
Meta might be adding facial recognition to its smart glasses as soon as this year. It’s a feature that would allow users to identify people and access information about them through Meta’s AI assistant. They originally considered the feature for its Ray-Ban smart glasses five years ago but backed off due to technical and ethical concerns.
You will soon be able to watch videos with Apple CarPlay, as long as conditions are met. Apple first told developers last year that iOS 26 would introduce support for video in the car through CarPlay but only while the car is stationary in park. Car companies will most likely have to enable the feature by setting a key in its software that talks to CarPlay.
