Deepfake scams going industrial is honestly terrifying but not surprising. When anyone can churn out realistic AI fraud, it's a reminder to stay sharp and double-check everything.

AI tools keep getting better but most people still just use them like a fancy Google search - you really see what they can do when you actually work them into your day to day stuff

The Limitless pendant is finally here! I've been waiting for what feels like forever, but it's great to finally have it in my hands. Now, let's compare it to Bee and Granola. One thing's for sure - the build quality is top-notch! 🙌🏻 #aisecondbrain

My full thoughts were too long for here, so I wrote a blog post: xanderjake.com/blog/2025/2...

I’ve been a huge fan of Sonos for years. Their speakers? Amazing. Their ecosystem? Mostly fine, until they completely botched it.

Even more layoffs? And now, whispers of a takeover. Can Sonos even recover? #Sonos #TechNews

I've been using #NotisAI for 1 week, and let me tell you, it's like having a personal assistant in your WhatsApp, that's AI, transcribes voice notes AND adds your to-dos and tasks to Notion. I can't help but wonder why more people aren't talking about it. Have you tried it yet?

It can even do live slideshows and news tickers, plus it uses xHE-AAC & HE-AACv2 audio codec, which means low power stereo sound on AM waves. Who thought of this! I'm so mind-blown!

Took me a day, but I skimmed the DRM Radio Receiver Functionality v2.0 doc, and WOW - radio is far from dead. It’s basically the digital upgrade to AM/FM. High-quality audio, emergency alerts, and interactive text, all without the internet. #DRM #Radio #DigitalUpgrade

What the heck is DRM Radio?

I was sorting out my Sonos and it made me think about what happened to this king of premium wireless audio. It's currently still in damage control mode after a brutal year of missteps. Do you think they can turn it around?

That’s a new dish every day for 27 years. But for real-real, what's your secret takeaway hack I should try?

I just had the most random thought. You know Chinese takeaway menus and all the options, right? What if instead of 150 ready offer options, we calculated different meal options based on ingredients alone. Are we talking over 10,000 meal possibilities? #ChineseFood #TakeawayGame

What do you think? Would you take your Xbox to Currys for repairs? I sure would if I had one, but this made me consider.

I love seeing more repairs, which means less e-waste, leading us to a more sustainable gaming industry.

And on top of that, the fact that you don’t need to have bought your Xbox from Currys to get it repaired there makes this a game-changer for UK & Ireland gamers.

And what's more - Currys is also serious about tackling electronic waste. Through their Long Live Your Tech initiative they already have repaired, reused and recycled 3M electrical items annually, that's 60k tonnes!

This move builds on the existing Surface repair program that Microsoft & Currys launched earlier. With this new Xbox repair service, tech is getting a longer life, which is great for both players & the planet, so I'm excited.

Why do I care? Well, we get:
✅ Faster & more convenient repairs
✅ No need to ship consoles overseas
✅ Expert service from an authorized provider

Gamers won’t have to stress over lengthy repairs anymore!

This is such a major win for gamers. Whether your Xbox is in warranty or out, you can now get it fixed at Currys, either in-store or at Europe’s largest tech repair center in Newark.

Oooh, there's some big news for Xbox gamers in the UK & Ireland! Currys is now an official Xbox Authorized Service Provider, offering console repairs for all Xbox Series X|S models. 🧵👇🏻

Tag a work buddy who gets it and share your best (or worst) self-driven moments. 👇

Self-driven? Here’s how to work smarter:
🤖 Use AI/chatbots for repetitive tasks.
⏳ No weekend work—protect deep work time.
📚 Keep learning & upskilling.

Survival tips:
✔️ Document EVERYTHING - emails, timestamps, proposals.
✔️ Find efficiency-focused allies.
✔️ Question outdated processes.

Ever heard "That’s not how we do things here." or "Let’s ask another team (again)." Yet the change magically happens later. #EmployeeEmpowerment
Here’s how I handle it ⬇️

The dark side? Self-driven employees face 3x more workplace bullying.
🚨 Credit theft
🚨 Gaslighting
🚨 Sabotage

Ignoring this? Say goodbye to your top talent.

Why companies love (and fear) them:
✅ Get things done, no red tape.
✅ Work independently, own results.
✅ Drive efficiency like pros.
❌ Intimidate insecure managers.
❌ Workaholic tendencies.
❌ Demand growth - deny it, and they bounce.

What makes them tick?
▪️ Passion over paychecks.
▪️ They Google, YouTube, or ChatGPT their way to solutions.
▪️ They recover fast & thrive on trust.

So what do you think about self-driven employees? Ambitious, resourceful, allergic to micromanagement.

Why do they thrive, yet often clash with traditional hierarchies? Let's break it down. 🧵

Here's the doc: [re:Work] Manager Actions for Psychological Safety - How to foster Psychological Safety on your teams:

It's a known fact that teams with higher psychological safety are more innovative and productive. Is your team a safe space to share ideas and take risks? I found an old, but really neat How-to doc from Google, check the comment and tell me what you think?

As an introvert, I’ve learned that listening is my greatest strength as a leader. It builds trust, deepens connections, and creates space for others to shine. Quiet isn’t weak – it’s powerful. 💪
