Apple approves driver that lets Nvidia eGPUs work with Arm Macs. Did hell freeze over? Not quite: the driver belongs to Tiny Corp, not Nvidia, you’ll have to compile it with Docker rather than plug-and-play, and it’s designed for LLMs. But you no longer need to disable Apple’s System Integrity Protection (SIP), because Apple is letting that driver get signed, Tiny says. [Image: Apple finally approved our driver for both AMD and NVIDIA,” Tiny writes. https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/HEy9-blbAAABy-J.jpg?quality=90&strip=all]

ChatGPT Revamps Shopping Features, Drops In-App Checkout OpenAI is overhauling the shopping experience in its ChatGPT app by shifting the focus from in-app purchases to product discovery, after the company's Instant Checkout feature apparently failed to gain traction. Launched in September, Instant Checkout let users buy items from retailers like Etsy, Walmart, and Shopify directly within ChatGPT. In a new product post, OpenAI now says it is deprioritizing the feature as a standalone offering, because it "did not offer the level of flexibility that we aspire to provide." In place of it, ChatGPT is getting richer visual shopping tools, including side-by-side product comparisons, image-based search for finding similar items, and conversational result filtering. OpenAI says the updates are powered by an expansion of its Agentic Commerce Protocol, which lets merchants feed product catalogs and promotions directly into ChatGPT. Retailers including Target, Sephora, Nordstrom, Best Buy, and The Home Depot are already on board. Meanwhile, Walmart is launching a dedicated in-app ChatGPT experience that supports account linking, loyalty programs, and its own payment system. The updates are rolling out this week to all ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users. In related news, OpenAI yesterday said that it is ending support for its Sora AI video app just six months after it initially launched.Tags: ChatGPT, OpenAI This article, "ChatGPT Revamps Shopping Features, Drops In-App Checkout" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

macOS Tahoe 26.4 Adds Slow Charger Indicator for MacBooks macOS Tahoe 26.4 includes a new slow charger indicator that tells MacBook users when their charging setup isn't delivering full power. As described in an updated Apple support document, a "Slow Charger" label now appears in orange text in the battery status menu and above the Battery Level graph in Battery settings. The indicator is accompanied by an info button for more details. Apple says that to charge more quickly, users should use a power adapter and cable that deliver at least the minimum wattage recommended for their MacBook model. The feature is similar to one Apple added to iPhone with iOS 18, where periods of slow charging appear as an orange bar in the Battery section of the Settings app. The slow charger indicator is one of two battery-related changes in macOS 26.4. The update also adds a Charge Limit feature that lets MacBook users set a maximum charge level anywhere from 80 to 100 percent, with the aim of preserving long-term battery health. macOS Tahoe 26.4 is available now via System Settings ➝ General ➝ Software Update.Related Roundup: macOS TahoeRelated Forum: macOS Tahoe This article, "macOS Tahoe 26.4 Adds Slow Charger Indicator for MacBooks" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums
