Apple has identified the causes of an overheating problem with its latest iPhone series, including a software bug and using certain apps.

The tech company said it would issue an update to fix the bug in its iOS 17 software and was working with developers whose apps had overloaded its handsets. Apple took action after users of its iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max products had complained that they had become too hot during use, reaching temperatures of more than 43C (110F) in some cases.

“We have identified a few conditions which can cause iPhone to run warmer than expected,” said Apple in a statement.

The company said on Saturday that it was working on an update to the iOS17 system that powers the iPhone 15 lineup to prevent the devices from becoming uncomfortably hot and was working with apps that were running in ways “causing them to overload the

Sam Altman’s Worldcoin is here: How to receive your free token | Technology News

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently launched his latest venture: Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency that requires scanning your eyes with a device called an “orb.” The project, which was founded three years ago, is now ready for the world to experience. Altman’s vision is to establish “a new identity and financial network owned by everyone.”

In a blog post announcing the launch, the founder notes that if the project is successful, Worldcoin could drastically increase economic opportunity and present a reliable solution for distinguishing humans from AI online. This would be achieved by offering users a unique digital identity based on their iris scan and a currency given “simply for being human.”

To register, users are required to first download the World App and then visit a Worldcoin operator who uses the orb. The orb will scan the user’s iris to prove that they’re humans. Following identity verification, users are assigned a

Tiger Woods and Co. are meshing sports and technology in a way never seen before | Golf News and Tour Information

Like many inspired ideas, this one was doodled out in its early stages on a napkin. Former NBC Sports president of golf Mike McCarley, who was scouting new business prospects, and Ryan Dotters, the CEO of the Full Swing golf simulator company, were at the 2019 PGA Merchandise Show in Florida and sharing their aspirations over beers at the hotel bar.

McCarley had an idea that might revolutionize televised golf, and Dotters was the man who could help him make it happen. McCarley envisioned an indoor arena, filled with a couple thousand spectators who would watch the likes of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy lead their teams in weekly head-to-head matchups in primetime.

The golf would be played in front of a giant simulator screen and on putting greens with technology so nifty that the surface could be re-fashioned for every hole.

Woods already was a fan of Full Swing,

How technology is helping municipalities crack down on illegal short-term rentals

During what Orest Katolyk calls the “wild west” of short-term rentals — the time before regulations were put in place — bylaw officers in London, Ont., would have to rent properties listed on websites like Airbnb to check for infractions.

“We actually rented a shed several years ago that was near Western University, and it was being rented out as a kind of overnight stay for $35 a night,” said Katolyk, director of municipal compliance for the City of London.

The city had been fielding complaints from neighbours throughout the school year. Renting the property was a necessary step that allowed them to prosecute the case.

In recent years, municipal governments across Canada have strengthened regulations to limit short-term rentals. Enforcing those rules, however, can be tricky because most listings don’t include an address.

But the jobs of investigators like Katolyk are getting a lot easier thanks to new tech
