Sunrise Calendar into the sunset: stop from August 31, diverted resources on Microsoft Outlook

From sunrise to sunset. It can be briefly described in these terms the life cycle of Sunrise (literally 'dawn') Calendar as it prepares to say goodbye to the base of Android users and iOS that have appreciated over time. Sunrise Calendar, one of the most complete app for mobile devices, will no longer be supported as of 31 August. The decision was formalized by the developers in a post published in recent hours in the official blog.

The developer company was acquired by Microsoft in early 2015, he has begun to work closely with the staff of the Redmond to enhance Office products, while continuing, in the following months, to keep updated the official client of Sunrise Calendar for Android and iOS and the desktop version. The news does not arrive in a totally unexpected, given that evidence to this effect had emerged by looking at the pace of the mobile client updates increasingly expanded over time (eg. The last update of the iOS client goes back to July 2015).

We are no longer able to provide support and upgrades in Sunrise. No new functionality. Nothing bugfixes .. For this reason, we will remove the Sunrise store apps in a few days. August 31, officially will close the application that will stop working.

From late August, then the app, even if installed on Android and iOS devices, can no longer be used. The alternatives are not lacking, but he had appreciated the work done by the theme of development will have to start taking into account the use of the Outlook app, since the efforts of developers will focus on their empowerment.

We are working hard to bring the '' Sunrise magic in the Outlook app, with all the most popular features, regarding the calendars, the icons of the appointments and calendar app.

Pull the plug on Sunrise Calendar is justified from the point of view that Microsoft manages firsthand the resources allocated to the development team following the acquisition. Eliminate duplication of services and related products, channeling the Sunrise team know-how in Outllook, results in an optimization of available resources and prevent release of the installed base.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
