Curiosity is the engine of scientific discovery, yet the environments in which scientists work can be surprisingly unimaginative. As the sciences property market continues to evolve, perhaps it’s time we applied a little more curiosity to the buildings themselves.
Users visiting the Apple Support Community tonight were greeted with a message informing them that the platform will permanently shut down on November 20. Here are the details.
If you have ever had a question or ran into a problem with an Apple product, chances are you have come across the Apple Support Community, the company’s official discussion forums where users from around the world help each other troubleshoot issues and share tips.
The platform has a history dating back to at least 1998, when it was known as Apple Tech Exchange. Since then, it was renamed Apple Discussions before relaunching as Apple Support Communities in April 2011, with a redesigned interface, personalized profiles, and a reputation system that rewarded users for helping others.
Tonight, however, users who tried to access the platform were greeted with the following message:
The AppleCare Support Community will permanently close on November 20, 2026. Starting today, the site will no longer accept new posts and is available in a read-only state.
You can continue to find trusted guidance and support on the official Apple Support site.
We want to thank the community members who have contributed their time and expertise to help others with their Apple products.
Right now, the portal still shows a “Sign in” button, though it leads only to an AppleConnect login page labeled “AC Communities Web – Internal,” suggesting that access is now restricted to Apple employees.
Interestingly, Apple’s message refers to the “AppleCare Support Community,” rather than the “Apple Support Community,” which is how the platform is officially branded.
Still, the forums are already in read-only mode, with users able to browse existing discussions, search for answers, and interact with posts through the “Me too” and voting buttons, but no longer submit new questions or replies.
At the time of writing, the most recent post was published just 57 minutes earlier, suggesting that Apple only recently disabled new submissions.
9to5Mac has reached out to Apple for comment and clarification on the scope of the shutdown, and we’ll update this story if we hear back.

The fire was reported around 1:02 am at 5505 S. Alameda St., near East 55th Street and the city of Vernon, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Arriving crews found a 100-by-100-foot commercial building fully engulfed in flames, prompting firefighters to call for additional resources.
The blaze quickly escalated into a major emergency, with firefighters from the Los Angeles city and county fire departments working to contain the growing fire.
As flames spread to an adjacent building, firefighters shifted to a defensive strategy at the original structure, battling the blaze from outside while other crews entered the neighboring building to prevent the fire from spreading further, LAFD officials said.
After a four-hour and 22-minute firefight, nearly 150 LAFD firefighters achieved a knockdown of the blaze, officials confirmed. No injuries were reported.
Video obtained by KTLA showed towering flames and thick smoke rising from the commercial property as firefighters worked through the early morning hours, KTLA Los Angeles reported.
KTLA traffic reporter Ginger Chan said the fire broke out at a recycling facility, warning that nearby businesses could also be affected.
The fire also caused significant traffic disruptions in the industrial area, with Alameda Street closed near East 55th Street as emergency crews continued their operations.
Chan urged drivers traveling into or out of Vernon to avoid the Alameda corridor during the Monday morning commute.
Slauson Avenue was recommended as an east-west alternative, while Compton Avenue and Long Beach Avenue were suggested for north-south travel.
Although the flames have been knocked down, firefighters are expected to remain at the scene for an extended period to conduct overhaul operations, which involve checking for and extinguishing any remaining hot spots.
LAFD heavy equipment crews and the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety are also assisting with the response.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
FEW people have been more central to the boom in artificial intelligence than Jensen Huang. And no firm has benefited more from it than Nvidia, the chip giant that under Mr Huang’s leadership has become the world’s most valuable company. On November 8th it was struck by scandal, as Nvidia’s boss confessed to an affair that the board is investigating as a possible spy operation. The storm jeopardises Mr Huang’s 33-year reign over the company. It may also have lasting implications for the geopolitics of AI.

In a short memo Mr Huang apologised to his family and his company for the affair. Simultaneously Nvidia’s board said it had launched an investigation into reports that Mr Huang, who has a close relationship with President Donald Trump, had “been the target of a foreign-intelligence effort”. The missives followed allegations that Mr Huang had been romantically involved with Alice Huang (no relation), a Chinese executive of a Singapore-based data-centre company. American officials reportedly believe Ms Huang to be a Chinese spy.
Mr Huang initially insisted that there was nothing unusual about their relationship, and that it concerned only her company, Megaspeed, a client of Nvidia’s. Now he has confessed. The board said it had no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia’s secrets were compromised. Mr Huang is expected to remain as boss during the investigation, but while it is under way his future will hang in the balance. “The big question is if he has to resign or not,” says Gil Luria of D.A. Davidson, an investment bank.
The scandal marks a spectacular fall from grace. Since the start of the current AI wave in late 2022 the market value of Nvidia has risen more than tenfold, to $4.5trn, making Mr Huang a hectobillionaire. The ultra-powerful chips designed and sold by his company provide two-thirds of the world’s AI computing power. Mr Huang’s efforts to secure vital manufacturing capacity for AI chips in his native Taiwan have kept Nvidia far ahead of its semiconductor rivals. It increasingly resembles a family firm: his daughter and son hold senior executive positions. As Stacy Rasgon of Bernstein, a broker, noted following the revelations, Nvidia would face “considerable key-man risk” if its chief executive were to step down. It is not at all clear who would replace him.
The storm over Nvidia may exacerbate fears among investors over the durability of the AI boom, after a revolt against data centres by voters in America’s midterm elections. In his trademark leather jacket, and with a rockstar status among AI nerds, Mr Huang has been the technology’s cheerleader-in-chief. He was early to see the potential, hand-delivering a cluster of Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs) to OpenAI a decade ago at the dawn of the modern AI era. His gung-ho approach has led Nvidia to provide cash and backstops to AI labs and infrastructure providers, and he recently orchestrated a $500bn initiative involving Wall Street giants such as Goldman Sachs and Blackstone to finance data-centre investments.
The affair also brings into the spotlight Mr Huang’s relationship with Mr Trump. The American government is said to have begun its surveillance of Ms Huang more than a year ago, when it first suspected that Megaspeed was illegally smuggling Nvidia’s GPUs into China. The two have been photographed together since at least 2024. Marco Rubio, America’s secretary of state, reportedly drafted a confidential memo this spring warning officials in the Trump administration about Mr Huang’s involvement with the suspected Chinese spy. Shortly afterwards, when Mr Trump took executives with him on a trip to China, Nvidia’s boss was initially excluded, but joined the trip at the last minute during a layover of Air Force One in Alaska. Asked about the latest news, Mr Trump appeared to stand by Mr Huang: “I think he’s an honourable guy.”
Mr Huang has lobbied in favour of sales of advanced Nvidia chips to China. He has advocated for the world’s AI to be built on American infrastructure—which has meant calling loudly for a loosening of the restrictions on chip exports that have gutted Nvidia’s business in China. His stance has been clear for many years, making it less likely that it was shaped by his relationship with Ms Huang. But any future lobbying by Nvidia’s boss will be met with heavy scepticism.
Congress is keen for explanations. Even before Mr Huang’s confession, three influential Republican congressmen had summoned him to a closed-door briefing partly on his interactions with Ms Huang. Chris Coons, a Democrat who is set to chair the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from January, has promised to investigate what he called “the insane relationship between the Trump administration, Chinese spies and AI billionaires”. A perilous path lies ahead for Mr Huang.

Few video game franchises have had quite the cultural impact of Grand Theft Auto.
Since its debut in 1997, the crime series has pushed boundaries, courted controversy and helped redefine what an open-world game can be, selling hundreds of millions of copies along the way.
Now, 13 years after the release of its last main instalment, Rockstar Games is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19. Set in the fictional state of Leonida, the new game returns players to Vice City (based on Miami, Florida), introducing two central characters and a fresh story of crime and chaos.
With expectations – and the financial stakes – higher than ever, here’s everything you need to know about the long-awaited release, from its characters and setting to the huge business behind it.
Why is ‘Grand Theft Auto’ such a big deal?

The franchise began in 1997 as a relatively simple, top-down game that allowed players to roam fictional cities, steal vehicles, evade police and commit crimes.
The release of Grand Theft Auto III in 2001 helped redefine open-world gaming. It gave players greater freedom to explore a sprawling three-dimensional city, pursue missions and interact with their surroundings.
Later installments expanded that freedom with larger environments, cinematic storytelling, social satire and detailed worlds. The influence reached far beyond games about stealing cars.
Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series brought open-world exploration to historical settings, while Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls games expanded their own longstanding tradition of open-ended fantasy role-playing. Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild later emphasized experimentation and discovery, allowing players to use the environment itself to solve problems.
For Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar Games recruited real-life gang members to help bring authenticity to background characters and dialogue. Former writer and audio director Lazlow Jones has said some performers challenged scripted lines, prompting developers to let them use language drawn from their own experiences.

That attention to detail helped create the sense of a living world that became a hallmark of the franchise, even as the series drew criticism for its depictions of violence, crime and women.
But controversy did not stop the franchise’s commercial rise.
According to publisher Take-Two Interactive, the franchise has sold more than 470 million units worldwide. Grand Theft Auto V, released in 2013, accounts for more than 230 million of those units and reached $1 billion in retail sales in just three days.
Its online multiplayer component, Grand Theft Auto Online, has helped keep players engaged through years of updates, new activities and in-game purchases.
What’s the story behind ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’?
This time, the action returns to Vice City, Rockstar’s fictional version of Miami, and expands across the surrounding state of Leonida, a Florida-inspired setting filled with beaches, highways, nightlife and criminal enterprises.
At the center are Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, a couple trying to improve their circumstances through a life of crime. Lucia has recently been released from prison while Jason, a former soldier who became involved with drug runners in the Leonida Keys, is looking for a different path.
Their plans become more complicated when a seemingly straightforward criminal job goes wrong, drawing them into a conspiracy that stretches across Leonida.
The trailers suggest a story mixing romance, robberies, betrayals and the series’ familiar satirical take on American culture.
Rockstar has revealed several supporting characters, including bank robber Raul Bautista, aspiring music executive Dre’Quan Priest and nightclub owner Boobie Ike.

Who’s in the cast?
Rockstar has kept much of the voice cast under wraps, including the performers behind Lucia and Jason.
One familiar actor has confirmed his involvement: Stephen Root, known for his work in Office Space, King of the Hill and Barry. He told The Associated Press in September that he appears in the game, adding that fans had already recognized his distinctive voice in promotional footage.
Root has been identified in reports as the voice of Brian Heder, an aging drug runner operating out of the Leonida Keys. Rockstar has introduced the character but has not publicly confirmed Root’s casting in that specific role.
What makes this installment different?
Beyond the return to Vice City, one of the biggest changes is the focus on two protagonists whose relationship drives the story.
Grand Theft Auto V featured three playable main characters. The new installment centers on Lucia and Jason as partners navigating the criminal underworld together.
Rockstar has promoted a larger, more detailed setting that stretches beyond the city into the wider state of Leonida. The game also arrives in a vastly different technological landscape from its predecessor, with newer consoles capable of supporting more elaborate environments and character interactions.
But not every detail is known. Rockstar has offered trailers and promotional previews, while questions remain about the full range of activities, how the game’s systems will work and the future of its online multiplayer experience.
What about the music?
Music has long been part of Grand Theft Auto’s identity. It has included everything from fictional radio stations to the songs accompanying players as they cruise through the game’s cities.
Grand Theft Auto VI is expanding that tradition with an original score by Justice, the Grammy-winning French electronic duo of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay.
Rockstar says the score adapts to players’ actions and experiences throughout the game, shifting with the environments and situations they encounter.
A 30-track score album is scheduled for December 11, featuring collaborations with artists including Tame Impala, SZA, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Gesaffelstein.
The game also features in-game radio stations and a separate collection of original songs, continuing the franchise’s connection to popular music.
