A guy bought AirPods Pro 2 in 2023 for one reason: music on the subway.
Three years later he'd worn them roughly 1,800 hours. Played music. Took calls. Sometimes listened to podcasts. Total feature usage: probably 10% of what they could do.
His brother a software engineer at an Apple-focused agency sat next to him on a flight and saw him struggling to hear the safety announcements over his own music.
He finally said: "Take those out for a second. You're using a $250 supercomputer like a $30 pair of earbuds. Apple built 8 features into these that have nothing to do with music. Most owners don't know any of them exist."
12 minutes later, the guy had translated a Spanish menu in real time, taken a hearing test, and silenced his apartment with active hearing protection.
He hasn't bought another set of earbuds since.
Here's everything his brother showed him 🧵
The Government of Japan confirmed on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, that construction of the KSh 85 billion Mombasa Gate Bridge is set to begin, financed under Japan’s Official Development Assistance programme, according to Chargé d’Affaires ad interim Hori Tomonobu.
The cable-stayed bridge will span approximately 1.4 kilometres across the Likoni Channel, with the full project covering around 13 kilometres including approach roads and interchanges, providing a permanent four-lane road link between Mombasa Island and the South Coast as an alternative to the Likoni Ferry.
The project follows years of delays linked to land acquisition, compensation and environmental impact requirements.
Japan has previously financed the Mombasa Southern Bypass, Nyali Bridge and Kilifi Bridge in Kenya.

Ronaldo and Messi have both played in six World Cups. Yet Ronaldo became the first player in history to score in six different World Cups. This means someone’s Goat went through one entire tournament without a goal.
