Too Long; Didn't Read Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are powerful cryptographic processes used in identity systems. They enable someone like Peggy to prove she has a secret without revealing the secret itself to Victor. A classic example is Peggy proving she knows a code in Alibaba's Cave. This ensures she can convince Victor while keeping the secret hidden. However, it's not perfectly zero knowledge as some information about Peggy remains. ZKPs can also be used for broader propositions, like proving equal pay in a…

I’m a longtime iPhone user who has not upgraded to one of the iPhone 15 models. The iPhone 14 Pro is still an amazing device. It’s practically the equivalent of the base iPhone 15. And I’m fairly confident that I could keep it for one more year after the iPhone 16 hits stores next September. But if the rumored Apple GPT is ready to debut with iOS 18 on the iPhone 16 series, I’ll upgrade immediately, even if I have to pay more or get the iPhone 16 Pro Max for the best native generative AI experience.

Back when Apple announced the iOS 17 update in June it also announced a key new feature that has the potential to get a lot more people journaling. The app, aptly called Journal, was never going to make the September iOS 17 release and is now making its presence felt in the iOS 17.2 beta. And the signs are good.But those signs only started to get good once the second beta arrived earlier this week. The first beta arrived a couple of weeks ago and while the Journal app was there, and you could use it, it was missing out…

During the WWDC 2023 keynote, Apple introduced StandBy mode, a new “full-screen” iPhone experience that will arrive as part of iOS 17. While the feature works with every iPhone model that supports this new operating system, StandBy mode looks better on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max thanks to their Always-On Display tech.

Joe Maring/Digital Trends It’s peak summer season, but that also means we’re getting closer to Apple’s fall event in September. This is typically when we expect the next generation of iPhones and Apple Watches. This year, we’re expecting the iPhone 15 lineup, which should include the standard iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. On top of that, it’s safe to say that we should also see the Apple Watch Series 9, but whether we’re getting a second-generation Apple Watch Ultra is still up in…

Scheduling a real-life or virtual meeting can sometimes be a hassle, no matter how much technology might help. You’ll likely spend plenty of time discussing the best time to meet via chat apps or email. The more people in a group, the harder scheduling the event might be. That’s why I plan to use Gmail’s brand-new Google Calendar feature as often as possible. Gmail now lets you specify your availability via Google Calendar without actually leaving Gmail. You could still be productive in Gmail while sending the…

If you regularly play video games, there’s a good chance you’ve dealt with stick drift. You may be lining up a shot in Apex Legends or surveying the land in Tears of the Kingdom, and suddenly, you notice your cursor slowly dragging to one side on its own. This, to put it nicely, sucks. It takes you out of the game, and you quickly realize that your state-of-the-art $70 controller is now a degraded hunk of plastic. The Switch’s Joy-Cons are infamous for developing drift, but PlayStation and Xbox controllers aren’t immune…
