BTW, if the XBOX division is scrounging for loose change under the sofa cushions, I’m still willing to put up a $1M guarantee to allow @TeamBeefVR to commercialize the legacy open source games on VR.

News! Meta is rolling out a mandatory software update for its Ray-Ban Meta glasses that directly addresses our reporting from last month.

If the glasses detect that the recording LED has been physically tampered with or drilled out, the camera will be disabled.

Happy birthday, America! I love this remarkable country, which was built on the idea that anyone can change the world. For 250 years, our country has been a testament to the power of possibility.  Let’s keep building extraordinary things together.

Incoming Apple CEO John Ternus is expected to restore the influence of the company's design team, which had diminished after Jony Ive's departure, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Gurman notes that finance and operations had taken a larger role in product direction, a balance that Ternus may now look to reset.

Instead of Apple trying to find a suitable, compliant solution to launch Siri AI in the EU without gatekeeping competitors, Apple spent 18 months ignoring the regulations, then asked the EU Commission to be exempted from the DMA obligations.

iOS 27 changes notification animations, sliding in from the top left corner instead of the top center.
