iOS 16 is the latest version of the software that powers Apple’s iPhones, including the brand new iPhone 14 lineup. But Apple decided to remove some features from the initial iOS 16 release to give it more time to work on them, with the company confirming that they will be released later this year instead.

What Is an STA File? A file with the STA file extension could be an Adobe Photoshop Match Color Image Statistics file. Photoshop uses it to save image options like luminance, color intensity, and fade so that the same values can be applied to a different image or layer. Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) also uses the STA extension for their MAME Saved State file format. The emulator uses the file to store a captured state of an arcade game that’s being imitated through computer software....

Windows 11 offers a slim selection of Start menu personalization options.

What Is an SVG File? A file with the SVG file extension is most likely a Scalable Vector Graphics file. Files in this format use an XML-based text format to describe how the image should appear. Since text is used to describe the graphic, an SVG file can be scaled to different sizes without losing quality—the format is resolution-independent. This is why website and print graphics are often built in the SVG format, so they can be resized to fit different designs in the future....

The new OP-1 Field tweaks almost every part of the original, including its already-high price, and yet at the same time changes almost nothing. The update will keep the OP-1 going for at least another 10 years, and that’s because the mojo is in the design and UI, which will never age. “I’ve always felt that the OP-1 is one of the most inspiring music gadgets while also being one of the worst sounding, and for whatever reason, I am happy with that,” electronic musician and OG OP-1 fan Bemo said in a forum thread participated in my Lifewire....
