October 11, 2025, 5:32 PM EDT. Researchers at UC Riverside have developed the State of Mission (SOM), a mission-aware diagnostic metric that goes beyond traditional battery state functions. Unlike SOC or SOH, SOM predicts whether a battery can complete a specific task—such as powering an EV over a mountain pass, a drone in wind, or a home through a cloudy day—under real-world conditions. By fusing physics-based models with machine learning, SOM combines battery data with factors like temperature, terrain, and traffic to move from reactive readings to proactive, goal-based guidance. This could help electric vehicles plan routes, optimize energy use, and reduce range anxiety. The work by Mihri and Cengiz Ozkan at UC Riverside envisions a new class of battery management that answers: can I finish this trip?

October 11, 2025, 4:46 PM EDT. Apple has pulled the plug on Clips, its quirky short-form video app launched in 2017. A new support document confirms Clips is no longer receiving updates and has been removed from the App Store. Affected users can still redownload it on an iOS 26 device to export videos into another app, but there are no guarantees it will work past iOS 26. With Clips dead, Apple still offers iMovie for iPhone, though it hasn’t seen major updates since 2023 and 2024 bug fixes. Other core apps like Pages, Keynote, and Numbers in the iWork suite remain aging, and related acquisitions Pixelmator Pro and Photomator are awaiting a Liquid Glass update.

The chassis features armored metal and gold rings around a triple-camera array, available in Danxi Red or Xuan Yao Black. Inside are a Snapdragon 8 Elite, 16GB RAM, up to 1TB, and Android 16 on One UI 8. The camera system includes a 50MP main with OIS, 12MP ultra-wide, and 10MP telephoto, plus 10MP outer and 4MP under-display selfies. IP48 water resistance and a side fingerprint sensor complete the package.

With TSA rolling out Digital ID verification at airports, you can now add a state-issued ID to Google Wallet on Android in supported states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota). To set up, open Google Wallet, tap the blue Plus icon, choose ID > Driver's license or state ID, select your state, and follow prompts. You'll upload photos of the front and back of your ID and a short video for facial verification. It can take a few minutes for verification. If your state isn’t supported yet, you can add a passport to Google Wallet via ID pass > United States. Digital IDs can speed checkpoints, though you should still carry a physical ID.

October 11, 2025, 4:02 PM EDT. Google Wallet is expanding to let you add state IDs to Android for digital verification. To add: open the Google Wallet app on Android 9+, tap Add to Wallet, choose ID > Driver’s license or state ID, select your state, then photograph the front and back and record a short video for verification. Once approved, the ID appears alongside other passes and can be remotely removed if your phone is lost. Current support includes Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Iowa, New Mexico, Montana, and North Dakota, with more states rolling out. For use, you can tap the NFC terminal at TSA checkpoints or scan a QR code to share your ID, though you should still carry the physical card. Google is exploring Zero-Knowledge Proof and future DMV integrations.
