How to watch the 2021 Ryder Cup online from anywhere

It's been a three year wait but the Ryder Cup is finally back and golf fans around the world will be able to watch Team USA take on Team Europe this weekend at the Whistling Straits golf course in Kohler, Wisconsin and we have all the details on how you can watch the tournament on TV or online.

This weekend's tournament is a biennial men's golf competition in which America's and Europe's best golfers compete for, you guessed it, the Ryder Cup which is named after English Businessman Samuel Ryder who donated the trophy. The first official Ryder Cup was held in the U.S. back in 1927 at Worcester Country Club in Massachusetts.

While the tournament was originally contested between Great Britain and the United States, Team USA's dominance in the first five contests eventually led to it being expanded to include Ireland after World War 2. Later in 1979, the Ryder Cup was expanded once again to include continental Europe.

Although the 43rd Ryder Cup was originally scheduled to be held last year, it was pushed back to this year as a result of the pandemic. Steve Stricker is the captain of Team USA while Padraig Harrington is Team Europe's captain. Both captain's have assembled their team rosters and this year, players on Team USA will be wearing red, white and blue shirt-sweater combinations while players on Team Europe will be wearing Green Bay Packers inspired uniforms that feature green, yellow and white. Ralph Lauren was tasked with designing the uniforms for Team USA this year and Team Europe worked with the Italian manufacturer Loro Piana to create their uniforms.

Team Europe was declared the winner of 2018's Ryder Cup which was held in France and Team USA won 2016's Ryder Cup in Scotland. Before 2016 though, Team Europe won the tournament three times in a row in 2010, 2012 and 2014.

Whether you've been eagerly awaiting the return of the Ryder Cup or are just looking for some golf to watch after the 2020/21 PGA Tour came to an end earlier this month, we'll show you exactly how to watch the 2021 Ryder Cup from anywhere in the world.

Apple and Meta Reportedly Discussed AI Partnership for iOS 18

Apple has held discussions with Meta about integrating the Facebook owner's AI model into iOS 18 as part of its Apple Intelligence feature set, according to a report over the weekend. Meta launched Llama 2, its large language model, in July 2023, and in April, the company released the latest versions of its AI models, called Llama 3 . The Wall Street Journal reports that the two longtime rivals have held talks about offering Meta's model as an additional option to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The paywalled report notes that the discussions haven't been finalized and could fall through. As part of Apple Intelligence, Apple has announced a partnership with OpenAI that will allow Siri to access ChatGPT directly in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia to provide better responses in relevant situations. Using ChatGPT will be optional, so users with concerns about the technology can abstain and still make use of Apple's own new AI features. Speaking at WWDC 2024, Apple's

Here Are the macOS Sequoia Features Intel Macs Won't Support

When Apple released macOS Monterey in 2021, some key features required a Mac with Apple silicon. The same scenario played out with macOS Ventura in 2022, and then again the following year with the release of macOS Sonoma. With macOS Sequoia set to arrive in the fall, which new features can Intel Mac owners expect to be unavailable to them this time around? Apple says that macOS Sequoia is compatible with the same Macs as macOS Sonoma, but Apple's fine print reveals that certain new features won't work on Intel machines. If you're still on an Intel Mac, here's what you won't have access to. Apple Intelligence Apple Intelligence , a deeply integrated, personalized AI feature set for Apple devices that uses cutting-edge generative artificial intelligence to enhance the user experience, won't be available on Intel Macs. Apple says the advanced features require its M1 chip or later, so if your Mac was released before November 2020, you're out of luck. T

iPhone 16 Pro Models to Adopt 'M14' Advanced Samsung OLED Panels for Improved Brightness and Lifespan

The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be the first Apple smartphones to adopt Samsung's high performance "M14" OLED display panel, claims a new report coming out of South Korea. According to ETNews , Samsung's "M" series of OLED panels are made for flagship smartphones, while "14" refers to the number of high-performance materials used to produce them. "M14" is the first series of its kind, and the panel is said to have been developed to deliver superior brightness and longevity. Samsung has reportedly placed orders for the M14 materials and is preparing to mass produce the displays in the second half of the year for Apple's iPhone 16 Pro models. Google's Pixel 9 smartphone is the only other device that is expected to adopt the high-performance displays in 2024. A previous report out of China claimed that this year's ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ models will feature up to 1,200 nits of typical SDR brightness – a 20%

Apple Boosts A18 Chip Orders in Anticipation of High iPhone 16 Demand

Apple is said to have upped its order of next-generation chips from TSMC to between 90 million and 100 million units, following heightened demand expectations for its iPhone 16 series. Last year's initial chip order volume for the iPhone 15 series launch is believed to have been in the region of 80-90 million units, suggesting Apple is anticipating higher demand for its 2024 devices, according to Taiwanese outlet CTEE . The arrival of Apple Intelligence in iOS 18 is expected to boost initial sales of the devices. One of the reasons is that Apple Intelligence requires at least an iPhone 15 Pro to run, which means owners of last year's iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will miss out on Apple's new AI features unless they upgrade to an iPhone 15 Pro or plump for one of the iPhone 16 models. Last year, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus were equipped with the A16 Bionic chip – the same chip that was in the iPhone 14 Pro models – whereas the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max f
