  • AI Detects Heart Disease From Smartwatch Data, Study Suggests
    November 4, 2025, 8:32 PM EST. New research shows AI can use smartwatch data to screen for heart disease. Researchers trained an algorithm on more than 266,000 12-lead ECG recordings from over 110,000 adults and taught it to detect disease from a single wearable lead that resembles the Apple Watch's ECG. In a test with 600 new participants, a 30-second Apple Watch ECG allowed the AI to distinguish those with and without disease at 88% accuracy, identify diseased individuals at 86% accuracy, and rule out disease at 99% accuracy. Experts note this is preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal, but the work suggests huge potential for large-scale screening using devices many already own. Researchers plan broader evaluations and community-based screening integration.
  • Apple Confirms iOS 26.2 Release Timeline and AirPods Live Translation EU Expansion
    November 4, 2025, 8:30 PM EST. Apple has kicked off beta testing for iOS 26.2 and signaled a mid-December public rollout for all iPhone users. In a European press release, Apple confirms that Live Translation on AirPods will finally reach the EU, despite a DMA-related delay. The feature, introduced at the iPhone 17 event, was delayed in the EU due to compliance work under the Digital Markets Act, but expanded language support in iOS 26.1 now enables Europe's launch. The company notes the DMA as the reason for the hold-up. Historical release patterns suggest iOS 26.2 could land around December 11-15. For now, only the first beta is out, with more builds and changelog details expected in the coming weeks.

  • Windows 11 25H2 update fixes decade-old 'Update and shut down' bug in Windows 10/11 (KB5067036)
    November 4, 2025, 8:26 PM EST. Microsoft's latest Windows 11 25H2 builds fix a long-standing issue where selecting Update and shut down could unexpectedly restart or boot to the login screen. The fix, delivered with the October 2025 optional update KB5067036 and confirmed for the November 11 Patch Tuesday, addresses the underlying problem that could cause the two-phase update process to skip the final power-off. The root cause is likely a race condition in the Servicing Stack or a Fast Startup-related state that prevented Windows from completing its shutdown after updates. Users on Windows 10 and 11 should see proper shutdown behavior after updates without a reboot. The optional update isn't required, but the patch is recommended for most systems.
  • Windows Update and Shutdown reboot glitch finally fixed in Windows 11 25H2/24H2 (KB5067036); Patch Tuesday fix
    November 4, 2025, 8:18 PM EST. PC gamers and busy workers rejoice: the long-standing Windows update and shutdown reboot glitch has a fix rolling out with Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.7019) and 24H2 (Build 26100.7019). The improvement first appeared in the October optional update, KB5067036, and will also arrive via the regular Patch Tuesday release. In practice, the bug could cause your PC to reboot after selecting 'update and shutdown,' leaving you with a powered-on machine and higher battery drain. Microsoft hasn't published a detailed incident report, but the official update drop-down mentions an 'improved' fix for the issue. The problem stemmed from the offline servicing phase during updates, where the 'turn off' command sometimes didn't persist. Expect proper shutdowns after updates in future builds.
