Se você costuma usar o aplicativo Relógio (Clock) em iPhones, iPads e Macs ou o Timers do Apple Watch para ativar alarmes ou timers, saiba que é possível identificá-los adicionando um nome (ou etiqueta, como a Apple chama).
Isso é muito útil para quem possui múltiplos alarmes/timers em ação e quer ter um controle sobre eles.
Neste artigo, ensinaremos como é simples adicionar uma etiqueta em cada um, veja só.

A adaptação do livro “The Bonfire of the Vanities”, de Tom Wolfe, não seguirá em desenvolvimento pelo Apple TV. Segundo o Deadline, a aguardada série baseada no romance de 1987, produzida pelo showrunner David E. Kelley e pelo diretor Matt Reeves, será oferecida a outros compradores em breve.
As primeiras notícias sobre a adaptação pelo Apple TV surgiram em abril passado e, após meses de desenvolvimento, a Warner Bros. (estúdio responsável pela produção) optou por não seguir com o projeto ao lado da Maçã. De acordo com a reportagem, as partes “não estavam alinhadas criativamente” e, ainda por cima, Kelley não estava satisfeito “com a forma como o projeto foi conduzido”.

The billionaire says the AI-generated film will stay true to Homer’s original, after repeatedly criticising Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster over its casting choices
Elon Musk has said his AI platform Grok Imagine will make a “historically accurate” adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey, after the success of Christopher Nolan’s blockbusting treatment which the SpaceX founder has regularly criticised over its casting.
In a post on X, Musk said: “Before this year ends, Grok Imagine will make a full-length movie of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer.” Musk also linked to a post containing a three-minute clip of footage that the user said had been generated from Grok Imagine, showing a scene between Odysseus and the nymph Calypso.

A Apple liberou hoje as quartas versões betas dos sistemas 27 e, como já é tradição, os desbravadores de plantão já descobriram uma série de novidades nas novas compilações.
Veremos, a seguir, tanto novidades que acabaram de pintar quanto algumas que chegaram ainda com a terceira beta (além daquelas que já havíamos falado).
Começando pelas novidades que chegaram hoje, a maioria delas tem relação com a Siri AI. Agora, por exemplo, o sistema exibe uma tela de boas-vindas para o usuário quando ele usa a nova assistente pela primeira vez.

Além disso, a Apple removeu o recurso que causava um efeito de profundidade ao abrir a central de notificações. Ao deslizar, era possível ver um recorte do elemento principal do papel de parede da Tela de Início, mas isso não está mais disponível.

Ainda em termos de correção, os ícones de atalhos na Tela Bloqueada mantém a aparência tanto no modo escuro quanto no modo claro.
Outras novidades incluem:
Ainda durante o ciclo da terceira beta, outro destaque vai para a possibilidade de a Siri AI obter informações de aplicativos de terceiros — algo que, por ora, parece se restringir a informar o nível de bateria de veículos elétricos.

O app Traduzir (Translate), por sua vez, também suportará os idiomas/dialetos português (Portugal), dinamarquês, malaio, norueguês bokmål, sueco, cantonês (chinês tradicional) e espanhol (México e Estados Unidos).
Além disso, uma nova (e bem bonita) animação ao estilo Liquid Glass para o ícone de bateria fraca aparece quando o iPhone está prestes a “morrer”.

Por fim, de acordo com o Cult of Mac, especificamente na terceira beta do watchOS 27, a Apple passou a permitir usar a Siri para configurar um tempo adicional para um timer já em andamento — algo impossível até então nos relógios da Maçã.
Alguém por aí já testando essas novidades?
As Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey arrives in theaters, archaeologists working off the western coast of Greece say a real-life cult site devoted to the legendary story’s hero has been uncovered.
Local traditions had long told of a stony hilltop on the Greek island of Ithaca that had once been home to a shrine to Odysseus, the legendary Greek king of the isle and main protagonist in Homer’s famous poem.
Now, after close to two decades of archaeological work on the island that served as home to the fictional king in Homer’s epic literature, archaeologists say they have uncovered the most compelling evidence yet that a genuine historical cult site had existed there, dedicated to the famed hero of The Odyssey.
Researchers with the University of Ioannina recently revealed the discovery of new inscriptions and artifacts supporting the existence of a cult element devoted to Odysseus, uncovered at the ancient complex at Agios Athanasios, which had been a public sanctuary devoted to the worship of Homer’s famous hero during the Hellenistic and early Roman periods.
According to a statement released by the Greek Ministry of Culture, the building complex is characterized by a series of robust structures located on terraces, which involve several monumental elements featuring carved architecture and niches for what appear to have been votive offerings or inscriptions, all of which point to its use as a cult site.
Yannos Lolos, one of the project’s lead archaeologists, recently told ArtNet that the site’s role was revealed partially through a reexamination of existing materials found there, which helped reveal what he calls “new and strong inscriptional evidence” linking the site to Odysseus.
Among the most important discoveries at the site were a small bronze bust of Odysseus dating to the first or second century C.E., as well as a roof tile fragment which bore an inscription that reads, “to Odysseus.”
However, an even more compelling discovery involved a second stamped roof tile inscribed with the hero’s name but appearing in the Greek genitive case; this is significant, since it indicates ownership, thereby identifying the sanctuary as “belonging” to Odysseus.
Based on current evidence, organized cult worship is believed to have begun at the site by around the late fourth century B.C.E., which places its use at around 500 years after Homer composed his famous epic poem, and almost a full millennium after the legendary events the epic describes.
The physical sanctuary itself was built onto a massive natural rock formation, and remnants of the ancient structure include a primary tower, a large oblong building, and terraces which were carved directly into the underlying bedrock.
Excavations over the last several years have also revealed the site’s deeper history, which points to evidence of earlier Mycenaean occupation during the 13th and 14th centuries B.C.E., at which time the site had likely served as a strategic center overseeing nearby harbors and local water resources.
In a statement, the Greek Ministry of Culture said the two new engravings arrives “in combination with the other available data, to document the development of a prominent public complex at the site,” which it said help to establish the “major role in the religious, social and possibly political life of the Ithacians of the Hellenistic-early Roman periods, but also with a broader pilgrimage character.”
The recognition of this ancient cult site only adds to the existing evidence that already supported worship of Odysseus on Ithaca. Past discoveries have revealed ancient coins depicting the hero, found near ritual offerings at Ithaca, which were also linked to cult activities. However, the identification of the sanctuary offers the most conclusive archaeological evidence to date that Homer’s legendary hero had been the cult’s focus.
Of course, these discoveries fall short of establishing Odysseus as a true historical figure, and most scholars agree that Odysseus was a fictional character born out of traditions that incorporated real places and events into their broader mythos.
However, in at least a few instances, the lines between myth and ancient history have been blurred—a famous example being Heinrich Schliemann’s identification of a site (originally discovered by British amateur archaeologist Frank Calvert, with his identification of the mound of Hisarlik) which helped reveal the archaeological reality behind the city of Troy, which had previously been considered a mythical location.
It was also reported last year that an archaeological discovery resembling the “labyrinth” from Greek mythology had been uncovered on Crete, in a discovery some have called “one of the most important archaeological finds” of the century.
Although the discoveries at Ithaca don’t establish Homer’s Odysseus as a historical figure in this way, they do confirm that centuries after The Odyssey was composed, inhabitants of Ithaca engaged in cult activities to honor the legendary king at a sanctuary on the island, which, according to legend, he once ruled.
Additional details about the site and discoveries made there in recent years can be found at the Greek Ministry of Culture website.

For as long as readers have pored over Homer’s Odyssey they have pictured Ithaca, the homeland Odysseus fights for ten years to reach, as an island unto itself.

With three ways to cool down and a cold plate that can lower skin temperature by up to 9C, Shark’s latest fan is a standout if you can justify the cost
• The best handheld fans, tested
When I first wrote my guide to the best handheld fans in 2025, familiar electronics brands in the space were hard to come by. But, like buses, two have arrived at once this summer. The Dyson HushJet Mini Cool provided plenty of power, but missed the mark on the “hush” part of its branding, and now it’s time for Shark’s debut mini fan: the ChillPill.
In words that I never expected to write, Dyson’s product is the cheaper option – although everything is relative. While the HushJet Mini Cool is a penny below three figures, the Shark ChillPill blasts through that ceiling, coming in at £129.99.
