Apple should bring back the iPod. An iPod touch with an A-series chip, Apple Music subscription that auto downloads daily mixes, and find my would be an interesting entrypoint

You had me worried!!

Has Casey Newton said problematic things about Mamdani?

That camera bar--sorry, plateau sure is unique. Nope, never seen that before...
Jokes aside, that phone looks pretty dope.

Off the back of polling that finds 7/10 Britons think 16-year-olds are too immature to vote, I have a question...
Have they been looking at voter behaviour over the last 10 years?
Have they looked at the average Facebook/X thread from people much older than 16?

US government announces $200 million Grok contract a week after ‘MechaHitler’ incident | The Verge The Defense Department and other agencies will be able to use the AI behind Grok.

America is not serious people.

I know I've said this a million times, but Google really got it right the first time when they made Google Now. Everything since has just been trying to reinvent the wheel. The perfect level of useful, contextual, unobtrusive "AI".

Superman is an action movie, a comedy, and also a horror movie, because a journalist types a massive exposé straight into the CMS and hits publish while on some kind of janky spaceship mobile hotspot

As a writer, I fully understand the concerns about AI, but the responses under this message are fully unhinged. Advocating pirating the game due to one placeholder image is an insane moral equivalence. By any stretch this seems like a fairly reasonable message from 11 bit. But that's just me...

And there you have it. The UK Government's Creative Industries Sector Plan outlines a £30m Games Growth Package and the creation of a new industry-led UK Video Games Council to support growth of the sector.

Big news for games in the UK 🎮

I love reading serious stories about guys who believe AGI is real, it feels like a bunch of millionaires plotting to find and capture Santa Claus

Sherlocking all the devs that have built things for Raycast or Alfred.... #wwdc

It's so boring! Milquetoast updates packaged as revolutionary.

That said, Google HAD nailed order tracking and intelligent predictive information surfacing back in 2012 with Google Now. And then they killed it—which could be the final sentence in write-ups for most of my favourite Google apps. #wwdc

Some genuinely nice and thoughtful updates to Apple Wallet. This is something that Google still hasn't properly nailed. #wwdc

Is there a reason some of these features, such as *backgrounds in messages* need a full OS update, rather than just updating the app?
It really feels—both Android and iOS—are mature to the point that it's now largely wallpapering than actual innovation. #wwdc

Call screening and hold assist looks familiar...? 🤔
I'm just joking, the more both OS vendors borrow from each other, the better. #wwdc

More importantly, there were definitely elements that lacked contrast. #wwdc

Liquid Glass is... underwhelming? Looking at the video, you wouldn't even really know anything's changed? #wwdc

In a world without 7, how would you rate Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning out of 10? #MissionImpossible #film

My observation from #googleio? Smart watches seem to be on the way out. So many of the presenters are wearing "traditional" watches, when a few years ago they would all be wearing big screens on their wrist....

Séamas O'Reilly: 'Downing St finally put down its racist dog-whistle, and unholstered a racist megaphone' 'Immigrants contribute more to the British economy than they withdraw'

I wrote this, on the sad, sorry sight of Keir Starmer putting away the dog-whistle, and picking up the megaphone.

South of Midnight represents a group that’s so rarely seen in gaming with a black girl as the lead character. I want to make sure that black girls and women get the chance to play this—so if that’s you or someone you know? Send me a DM and we’ll make that happen! (Limiting this to 10 copies.)

"She's a supermodel but she lives in Canada."

Good, nerdy read. Something I enjoyed immensely since I've been monitor shopping for months...
