iOS 26 Really Doesn't Want You to Be Horny on FaceTime
In the upcoming iOS 26 for iPhone, Apple is introducing a 'Sensitive Content' feature that can pause a FaceTime video when it detects that someone is undressing on screen. Specifically, if nudity is detected, then the stream will be interrupted with a notice. 'Audio and video are paused because you may be showing something sensitive,' reads the pop-up. 'If you feel uncomfortable, you should end the call.' If you don't feel uncomfortable, you'll have the option to return to the call and continue getting to the good stuff.
In iOS 26 FaceTime will pause the Video if you're undressing while on a FaceTime call here's the on screen prompt warning that you get asking if you would like to resume audio and video or End the call.👇 pic.twitter.com/fBs0aKUPCy
— iDeviceHelp (@iDeviceHelpus) July 2, 2025As weird as the feature is on the surface, the intention here is actually pure—this is a feature designed to help protect kids, mostly, which is great because the internet is a horrible place for children. As noted by iDeviceHelp, however, the feature, which is a part of a new array of 'Family Tools,' also appears to be active for adults in the iOS 26 developer beta. This is just a beta, obviously, so that could change when the iPhone software is released in the fall, but if you have questions about how such a feature works in the first place, I don't blame you.
If you're reading this and worried that Apple is jorking it to your FaceTime calls, I wouldn't leave the country and assume a new identity just yet. As noted by 9to5Mac, Apple says that its 'Sensitive Content Detection' feature works using machine learning that all happens on-device. That's to say that there is no video information relayed to the cloud or stored in a server, God forbid. That's good because if that wasn't the case, this would be a pretty humongous breach of privacy, nudes or no nudes. As to whether this feature is active by default, it's hard to say. Some people are reporting that it's toggled off by default, but iDeviceHelp seems to suggest it's not.
iOS 26 is still in developer beta, so anything could change—and it definitely will change. Even so, it's easy to dunk on Apple when it comes to NSFW content because it's traditionally been prickly towards anything of an 'adult' nature, even when it accidentally makes a perfect porn machine. And what about protecting adults who do want to use FaceTime to sext each other? Can the horny folks (all folks, pretty much) get a safeguard against unwanted screen recording, perhaps? Give us the horny feature set we all want and need, Tim Cook.
In any event, the good news is that whether this feature is on by default or not, you can just turn it off if you're feeling like you need to squeeze in some hot cam-to-cam action before work or whatever. To turn the feature off, you can go to Settings, then Apps, then tap FaceTime and toggle 'Sensitive Content Warning' off. Happy sexting, folks. Be safe out there.

Companies are relying on aptitude and personality tests more to combat AI-powered job hunters
Employers are overwhelmed with job applications and leaning more on a particular hiring tool. Cognitive and personality tests are becoming mainstream, hiring test providers told BI. Employers are the most interested in testing for soft skills, like emotional intelligence, the firms said. Are you happy? Do you sleep well? Do you have many friends? Are you a workaholic? Those are some of the questions Katelin Eagan, 27, said she had to answer recently when she was applying for a job. She agreed to take a cognitive and personality assessment as part of the hiring process, but was a bit bewildered. Many of the questions had nothing to do with the engineering position, which, after completing the tests and going through several months of silence, she was eventually rejected for. Eagan says she's been applying for jobs full-time since the start of the year. Her efforts haven't panned out yet, which she attributes partly to how competitive her field has become and employers having room to be picky. "I think there's definitely a lower amount than I thought there would be," she said of available roles. But that may be only part of the story. Employers are growing increasingly selective, partly because many are seeing a flood of seemingly perfect candidates, many of whom are suspected of using AI to finesse their applications, according to recruiters and hiring assessment providers who spoke to BI. The solution many companies have come to? Make everyone take a test — and see who candidates really are, irrespective of what ChatGPT suggested they put on their résumés. According to surveys conducted by TestGorilla, one firm that administers talent assessments for employers, 76% of companies that had hired in the 12 months leading up to April said they were using skills tests to determine if a candidate was a right fit, up from 55% who said they were using role-specific skills tests in 2022. Employers seem most interested in testing for soft skills — amorphous qualities like communicativeness and leadership — as well as administering general aptitude and personality tests, Wouter Durville, the CEO of TestGorilla, told Business Insider. TestGorilla's Critical Thinking test was completed more than 100,000 times in the first quarter of this year, a 61% increase compared to the same quarter in 2024. The firm also offers a Big 5 personality assessment, which was completed more than 127,000 times in the first quarter — a 69% increase compared to last year. Demand among US employers in particular has been "massive," Durville said, adding that many firms have turned to tests as a result of being overwhelmed with job applications. The US is the largest market for the firm, which is based in the Netherlands. "The biggest thing is people just want to hire the best people. It's very selfish and it's fine," Durville said. Canditech, another firm that offers hiring assessments, says it's also seen rapid growth in the last year. In 2024, the assessment usage grew 135% compared to the prior year, CEO Guy Barel told BI. He estimates that assessment usage is on track to soar 242% year-over-year. Barel says the surge is partly due to the job market tipping more in favor of employers. In many cases, companies he works with are flooded with "tons of candidates" and looking to "move forward as fast as possible," he said. Criteria, another skills-based assessment provider, says test usage has more than doubled in recent years. "AI is kind of creating this authenticity crisis in talent acquisition, because everyone can and is putting their résumé into ChatGPT." Criteria CEO Josh Millet told BI. "It's all about demonstrating your ability or your skill or your personality in an objective way that's a little bit harder to fake." Jeff Hyman, a veteran recruiter and the CEO of Recruit Rockstars, estimates that demand for testing among his clients has increased by around 50% over the last 18 months. That's due to a handful of different reasons, he said — but companies being inundated by job applications is near the top, thanks to candidates leaning more on AI to gain an edge and send out résumés en masse, he says. Hyman says a typical job he tries to fill for a client has around 300 to 500 applicants, though he's spoken to companies trying to fill roles with more than 1,000 candidates within several days of being posted online. The number of job applications in the US grew at more than four times the pace of job requisitions in the first half of 2024, according to a report from WorkDay. Companies also want to test candidates' soft skills as remote work grows more common, Hyman adds — and they want to be sure they're getting the right person. Depending on the size of the organization, a bad hire can cost a company anywhere from $11,000 to $24,000, a survey conducted by CareerBuilder in 2016 found. According to TestGorilla, 69% of employers who issued tests this year said they were interested in assessing soft skills, while 50% said they were interested in assessing a candidate's cognitive ability. A separate survey by Criteria ranked emotional intelligence as the most sought-after skill among employers, followed by analytical thinking. "It's about their personality and to see if they are a good fit to the organization, if they share the same DNA," Durville said, though he noted that, in many cases, companies find the results of the tests to be shaky as a sole evaluation metric. TestGorilla, Canditech, and Criteria told BI that employers say they're enjoying the time and cost savings of administering tests. According to TestGorilla, 82% of employers who said they used skills-based hiring — a catch-all term for hiring based on proven skills — said they were satisfied with new hires, compared to 73% of US employers on average. Canditech, meanwhile, claims its assessments can help employers cut down on hiring time by as much as 50%, and reduce "unnecessary interviews" by as much as 80%, according to its website. But Hyman thinks there are some issues with hiring tests. For one, he says employers turn down candidates who don't score well "all the time," despite them being otherwise qualified for the job. The trend also appears to be turning off job candidates. Hyman estimates around 10%-20% of applicants will outright refuse to take a test if employers introduce it as a first step in the hiring process, though that's a practice Canditech's Barel says is becoming increasingly common. Hyman says he frequently has conversations with employers urging them not to put so much weight on test results, due to the potential for a mis-hire. "That's lazy hiring, to be honest. I think that's not the right way to go about it," he said. Read the original article on Business Insider

Best Prime Day MacBook deals: 7 massive savings on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops
Prime Day is just around the corner, but Apple has jumped the gun with some huge MacBook deals — giving us up to $350 off every single Air and Pro model! Particular standouts for me has to be grabbing $150 off the M4 MacBook Air (arguably one of the best laptops anyone can buy right now), and a whopping $170 off the M4 MacBook Pro. But for those who need the additional horsepower for professional workloads, you'll find equally big savings on the M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pros, too! But enough blathering, let's get into them. The latest 13-inch MacBook Air M4 is Apple's greatest offering yet, and it's not only because of its speedy performance thanks to the M4 chip or its upgraded 12MP webcam. It's $100 less than its predecessor, and with that extra $100 off, you're getting one of the best laptops on the market at an epic price. Expect 16GB of unified memory and a 256 SSD in the model, but for more speed and storage, you can get the same discount. MacBook Air M4 (16GB/512GB): was $1,199 now $1,049MacBook Air M4 (24GB/512GB): was $1,399 now $1,249 One of the best laptops with an even bigger screen? You got it. The 15-inch M4 MacBook Air boasts a 15.3-inch (2880 x 1864) Liquid Retina display, and that's more screen real estate for work, watching shows and even some gaming. Better yet, its more powerful configurations are also discounted, and even $163 off for top-tier performance. MacBook Air M4 (16GB/512GB): was $1,399 now $1,249MacBook Air M4 (24GB/512GB): was $1,599 now $1,436 If you're a power user, you'll want the might of the MacBook Pro M4 on your side. You get fantastic performance from the M4 chip, useful Apple Intelligence features, a better webcam and very impressive battery life of over 18 hours. As we noted in our MacBook Pro 14-inch M4 review, it's the best laptop for photo and video editing, and much more. This model features a 14.2-inch (3024 x 1964) Retina display, Apple M4 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Not enough power? No problem, as the M4 Pro MacBook Pro also has a steep price cut, and you can save $200! If the base MacBook Pro M4 doesn't have enough power for you, upgrade to the MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro chip. As well as faster performance thanks to its 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU, you'll also get Thunderbolt 5 ports for even faster data transfer. Need top-flight performance? That's where the M4 Max comes in — perfect for professional workloads like high-fidelity animation and 3D rendering with its 32-core GPU, professional studio recording with the 14-core CPU, and on-device AI with its enhanced Neural Engine. That extra screen real estate really comes in handy for complex 4K video edit timelines in Final Cut Pro and really zooming in on those details in RAW photo edits. Pair that with M4 Pro power and a $250 saving, and you're onto a winner with a far longer battery life, too! It'll cost you a small fortune, but this is the ultimate MacBook Pro you can buy right now. The base model features a 16.2-inch 3456 x 2234 Retina display, Apple M4 Max CPU, 36GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

Women Are Sharing The Things Men Do That Absolutely Baffle Them, And Hard Same
Recently, Reddit user Electrical-Ebb-3485 posted to the subreddit "Ask Women No Censor" to ask women, "What is something that many men do that baffles you?" Obviously, I knew the answers would be very entertaining, so I decided I had to share. Here are some of the best: 1."Send dick pics and expect us to actually like it." —u/eefr 2."Pursue or lock down a hot girl and get mad when they continue to be hot." Paramount Pictures —u/Beneficial-Door-3252 "Cindy Lauper said it herself: 'Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world.' Walk in the sun ladies!" —u/Pastawbutter 3."This is a generalization obviously, but men often go, 'I can fix this.' It doesn't matter how complicated something is, perhaps even requiring a specialist; men will immediately try and do it themselves, often making the problem worse or fixing it jankily." NBC "Like, you get people go to trade school purely to learn how to do some of these things because it is that complicated, right?!" —u/Pinkalpacamaid "I have this theory that this ludicrous confidence is something that's ultimately net-beneficial, and women are robbed of it by a misogynist society." —u/capacitorfluxing 4."Promising to take care of something, and failing to fulfill the promise, so we get to panic and try to do the thing last minute. It seems to go in one ear and out the other when they 'listen' to women." —u/julmcb911 5."Using the bathroom and then not washing their hands. Do they not feel disgusting?" Walt Disney Pictures / Via —u/injury_minded "This! I've had a couple men in my life swear they don't need to wash their hands after peeing because it's not the same as women going to the bathroom. Absolutely vile." —u/rrmounce95 6."Men often refuse to go to the doctor about their medical problems, or a therapist about their mental health problems. Drives me nuts." —u/eefr 7."They force everyone to 'pass as a man' in order to play online games normally. Men, if every player around you is always a man, it's most likely since you've made it hostile for women to even out themselves." NBC —u/Q-9 8."Compulsive contrarian debating." —u/ruminajaali "Men who do this think it makes them smart." —u/TVsFrankismyDad 9."Continually ask for women's opinions and then dismiss, debate, deny, and disrespect every fucking response." —u/BillieDoc-Holiday 10."Pursuing you then proceeding to say he's not ready for a relationship." —u/sherlockgirlypop 11."Some men complain about not finding 'good women.' Yet they are not self-aware. Their definition of 'good' is a shallow one, and they're attracted to toxic traits. They project their past hurt and punish future partners. They expect traditional loyalty but do not offer stability. They play games, then get angry and bitter when they lose the game." Disney Channel —u/Moosemuffin64 12."Offering 'advice' constantly for things they know nothing about in an aggressively condescending and know-it-all type of way, like they think we'd be impressed and flattered rather than just insulted by how demeaning they are to our intelligence." —u/AnonPinkLady 13."They believe women have no reason to distrust men." —u/AlisonPoole98 14."Hate women without knowing consciously they hate women." NBC —u/Hello_Hangnail 15."Not washing themselves properly, not wiping themselves properly, and smelling their hand after they scratch their ass or balls. (YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU REEK!!!)" —u/CozyCatGaming 16."Possess zero self-awareness [regarding space]. Get the fuck out of the way!" —u/madeoflime "WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS STANDING IN MY WAY?!?" —u/AnonPinkLady 17."Not shaving that gross goat scraggly-ass beard they think is so cool." —u/TayPhoenix 18."Can't handle the work of a relationship and would rather have a 'friend with benefits' so they never need to take accountability." ABC —u/Individual-Upstairs4 "Then they say that women lack responsibility. Their intention is to make them bear all the blame for their mistakes. Men hate responsibility. I have seen this a lot. They prefer to blame women instead of holding themselves accountable, as if they are like little children." —u/Sweet_Animal6924 19."Men, just throw away any underwear with holes in them. Socks included. Just toss them. Don't give it a second thought." —u/champion0522 20."Fear of having any 'female-coded' hobbies for fear of being judged as gay, girly, or feminine in any way, shape, or form." Warner Bros. "Recently I saw a man who was afraid of reading a book that is popular amongst women..." —u/OkDesk2871 21."Say they want virgins and call women used-up or ran-through if they have premarital sex, but at the same time want to keep having casual sex until they're ready to settle down with that virgin. They're sexually dependent on the women they call whores." "If there were no 'whores' to service them they'd be unhappy, yet they claim to hate the existence of these 'whores.' Also, they think sex damages women and lowers their worth, yet want to 'damage' as many women as possible. I just can't understand it. I've noticed it's more the younger generation that seems to care about virginity and 'body count,' thanks to the manosphere and influencers like Tate. I'm 46, and I've never had a guy my age ask my body count. I'm glad not to be a young girl in the dating scene today." —u/manykeets finally, "Weaponized incompetence: when you ask them to do something and they completely half-ass it so you won't ask them again." Pop TV / CBC Television —u/minty_dinosaur I'm somehow so frustrated reading these, but also laughing so hard. Tell me your thoughts down in the comments!
