American technology giant Apple has announced some fundamental changes to the way its iPhone and its apps work for the first time since its launch.

The company says its users will be able to download apps from other sources for the first time, while developers will be able to add new ways to pay for goods within those apps.

This marks a major change in Apple’s control of iOS, the operating system that runs the iPhone.

For example, new changes mean that another company may offer a competing marketplace for apps. These apps may contain content that may otherwise be prohibited by Apple, such as nudity.

In effect, the changes mean iPhone users can download a rival app market that will give them access to apps Apple doesn’t provide and pay for services using such a system for the first time. will not be controlled by Apple.

iPhone users will also be able to download game streaming services such as Xbox Cloud Gaming that were previously restricted.

While most of the new rules only apply to people in the European Union, the changes to the games will apply everywhere.

Apple has been forced to make these changes in response to the EU’s Digital Markets Act. He has long campaigned against the new rules, and said when he announced the changes that they posed ‘many risks’ to peopl

Archaea are a separate group of microbes that resemble bacteria (see box). The research team, consisting of Joshua Hamm, Su Ding, Nicole Bale, Jaap Damsté and Anja Spang, conducts research into DPANN archaea, which have very small cells and relatively little genetic material. These DPANN archaea make up about half of all known archaea, and depend on other microbes for survival. They attach to their host and absorb lipids from the host as building blocks for their membrane, their own ‘coat’.

Picky eaters

Until now, it was thought that these parasitic archaea simply absorbed all the lipids from their host to make their membrane. But researchers Ding and Hamm have now shown for the first time that a specific parasitic archaeon, candidate Nanohaloarchaeum antarcticus, does not contain all the lipids of its host The halo of the deep lake contains, but only a selection of them. “

The cars of the future could run on hydrogen, but there are multiple ways to obtain it

The hydrogen car is one of the most coveted dreams today. It allows us to move efficiently and without generating particularly serious greenhouse emissions. For this reason, almost all automotive brands are working hard to achieve the first functional hydrogen engines. However, this raises new, equally important problems. There is no point in manufacturing hydrogen cars if obtaining it is very polluting, which is why there are many scientific teams trying to achieve green hydrogen that is much more sustainable and accessible to everyone. Now, one team seems to have done it quite successfully, which gives us remarkably about the hydrogen caror at least to an affordable and clean energy source for it.

A perfect advance for the future of the automotive industry

From a financial point of view, the newly negotiated entry into the French biotechnology company Nanobacteria will be very difficult for him. Like, say, consecutive football losses Spartawhich in the Czech Republic pays​​​​ for its most famous company, although it is not economically important.

It is more interesting what the biotechnology company based in Paris is doing. It was created 14 years ago, and its founder, academician Edouard Alphandéry, is developing his own way to fight prostate cancer. He says he introduces healing nanoparticles of bacteriological origin into the sick body and uses magnetism to produce heat with anti-tumor effects.

      For the past few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to test out Meta’s AI assistant integrated into their latest Ray-Ban smart glasses. This cutting-edge technology allows users to interact with the glasses by simply saying “Hey Meta”, enabling the assistant to answer queries or analyze the user’s surroundings. Although it’s not flawless, when it does function correctly, it offers a captivating glimpse into the future.

      Meta recently realized the significant potential of generative AI in their smart glasses. During an interview last fall, Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg disclosed to me that multimodal AI would be incorporated into their products, describing it as a “whole new angle” on smart glasses that could potentially surpass the appeal of “super high-quality holograms” in terms of functionality.

      After investing billions of dollars into developing AR glasses over the past six years and facing lackluster reception to the initial Meta Ray-Bans, the success of the second version was crucial. Fortunately, early indications suggest positive outcomes. Third-party estimations indicate that over one million units have
