Apple’s next major iOS, iPadOS, and macOS updates will add a new “Recovered” album in the Photos app to help you find photos and videos on your device that may have been lost or damaged, according to 9to5Mac.
When you update to iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, your device will scan for potential photos or videos that could appear in the Recovered album, 9to5Mac reports. If there are, the Recovered album will show up in the Utilities section of the app.
Note that the Recovered album is separate from the Recently Deleted album, where photos you delete are accessible for 30 days before they’re deleted permanently. I’ve asked Apple if photos or videos in the Recovered album will eventually auto-delete as well and will update this story with what I hear back.
Apple launched public betas for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and more on Monday.

High-end racing bikes are now vulnerable to hacking

A team of computer scientists found that wireless gear-shifting systems in high-end bikes are vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks that could undermine popular races like the Tour de France.
Wireless gear-shift systems are meant to give riders better control of their bikes, according to the University of California San Diego, whose researchers collaborated with those from Northeastern University on the study. But the modernization also introduces a new set of problems in the form of hacking vulnerabilities. Those weak points could be exploited “to gain an unfair advantage, potentially causing crashes or injuries by manipulating gear shifts or jamming the shifting operation,” the researchers wrote.
The group specifically looked into bikes with Shimano Di2 wireless gear-shifting technology, which it called the “market leader.” According to UC San Diego, the system works “by deploying wireless links between the gear shifters controlled by the riders and the device that moves chains between gears on the bike, called a derailleur.” By recording and then retransmitting those commands, researchers found they were able to perform an attack from up to 10 meters away with “off the shelf devices.” They also found it’s possible to disable gear shifting for one particular bike with a targeted jamming attack, rather than impacting all surrounding ones.
The researchers are now working with Shimano to patch the vulnerabilities, UC San Diego says, and the company has already started using some of their suggested countermeasures. Shimano did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“The history of professional cycling’s struggles with illegal performance-enhancing drugs underscores the appeal of such undetectable attacks, which could similarly compromise the sport’s integrity,” the researchers say. “Given these risks, it is essential to adopt an adversary’s viewpoint and ensure that this technology can withstand motivated attackers in the highly competitive environment of professional cycling.”

xAI’s new Grok-2 chatbots brings AI image generation to X
![xAI’s new Grok-2 chatbots brings AI image generation to X xAI’s new Grok-2 chatbots brings AI image generation to X](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/2LQ21LBUyUWJmBLPBSs1UrXwvWw=/0x0:2040x1360/1200x628/filters:focal(1020x680:1021x681)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25572117/Grok_AI_model_beta_Grok_2.jpg)
Elon Musk’s AI company xAI has launched Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini: two new models of its Grok chatbot that offer upgraded performance and new image-generation capabilities. Grok’s prompt-based image maker is powered by Black Forest Lab’s Flux 1 AI model, and allows users to generate and publish images directly to the X social platform — with seemingly few guardrails in place to prevent abuse.
xAI says that Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini are available in beta on X (where Grok access is currently limited to Premium and Premium Plus subscribers) and that both models will be available through the AI developer’s enterprise API later this month.
“We are excited to release an early preview of Grok-2, a significant step forward from our previous model Grok-1.5, featuring frontier capabilities in chat, coding, and reasoning,” xAI said in its announcement, describing the chatbot as “more intuitive, steerable, and versatile” than its predecessor. Meanwhile, Grok-2 mini is a “small but capable sibling” of Grok-2 that “offers a balance between speed and answer quality,” according to xAI.
These Grok-generated images also don’t appear to sport any kind of disclosure to flag them as being AI generated. We’ve asked X if it will place restrictions on image generation, though the platform has persistently shunned media inquiries since Musk purchased it in 2022.
