Body of British tech billionaire Mike Lynch recovered off the coast of SicilyThe Verge – All Posts
The body of billionaire tech mogul Mike Lynch was recovered off the coast of Sicily, the Italian coast guard announced on Thursday. Lynch’s 184-foot superyacht, the Bayesian, sunk on August 19th reportedly after being hit by a tornado over the water, called a waterspout.

Apple will soon let iPhone and iPad users in the European Union choose default apps for phone calls, messaging, keyboards, password managers, and more. These options will be available later this year in a new “Default Apps” section in Settings, according to an update on Thursday.
In the spring of next year, Apple says it will also let users set default navigation, translation apps, and call spam filter apps. Along with these new options, iPhone users in the EU will add the ability to delete the App Store, Messages, Camera, Photos, and Safari apps. The only apps Apple won’t let users delete are Settings and Phone.

Kamala Harris’ strategy to reach young voters will see her debut on Twitch tonight, where she’ll be streaming her Democratic nomination acceptance speech. The new kamalaharris Twitch channel features a similar bio to the Vice President’s accounts on X, Tiktok, YouTube, and other platforms: “Wife, Momala, Auntie. She/her. Fighting for the people.
