Medical apps have already become part of the daily lives of patients and doctors. People use them to book appointments, monitor health, store medical data, and get online consultations.

US President Donald Trump has said he will sue the New York Times for $15bn (£11bn) over what he called defamation and libel. “The New York Times has been allowed to freely lie, smear, and defame me for far too long, and that stops, NOW!” Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Monday. He singled out the Times’ endorsement of Kamala Harris in the last presidential election in 2024, saying it had become a “mouthpiece for the Radical Left Democrat Party”. A spokesperson for the newspaper said the suit was “an attempt to stifle and discourage independent…

Few things sting as much as watching your memories vanish in a single tap. If you’ve just emptied your Recently Deleted folder on iPhone, it probably feels like you’ve sealed your photos’ fate.

That’s where recovery software enters the picture, and in 2025, one tool stands out for speed and reliability. Why Photos Disappear After Emptying Recently Deleted Apple’s Recently Deleted…
US President Donald Trump is pushing regulators to loosen reporting requirements for public companies, echoing his efforts to end quarterly earnings reports during his first term in the White House. In a Truth Social post, Trump urged the Securities and Exchange Commission to shift away from requiring firms to report on a quarterly basis and instead adopt a semi-annual schedule. Less frequent reporting, Trump argued, would “save money, and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies”. Proponents of the shift say it could boost the number of publicly traded companies in the US, reversing a downward trend in…
