Roughly half the recurring work that owners ask me to automate is output nobody uses. Not badly-made output. Not output that needs a better format or a nicer dashboard. Output that no human being reads, acts on, or would miss if it vanished. The daily sales summary that goes to a WhatsApp group whe

The February 2026 Discover Core Update focused on the quality and relevance of content shown in Google Discover. The May 2026 core update, alongside changes that made preferred sources avai
September Apple events are always a swirl of information and new, exciting products, and today's was no different. Apple announced its first foldable, the iPhone Duo, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max; active noise cancellation (ANC) is now on the cheapest AirPods model, the AirPods 5; and a S
Apple has seen reason: It has a black model in the iPhone Pro lineup again. Last year, Apple went bold with its colors for the iPhone 17 Pro, offering a flashy orange, a shiny silver, and a dark blue. Don't get me wrong, they looked nice. But there was no black (or dark gray) for […]
Apple announced the company's first device with a folding screen today, the iPhone Duo, but that's where the firsts end. The Duo is not only far from the first foldable on the market thanks to the efforts of Samsung and Google, but it's also not the first product to be called the Duo. Former Apple [

Matt Mullenweg, the CEO of WordPress.com owner Automattic, has been placed on a paid leave of absence, as reported earlier by 404 Media. In an internal message by the outlet, Mullenweg claims Automattic chief financial officer Mark Davies "conspired" with board members to place him on leave. "They v
Paying more for a new phone seems almost unavoidable after Apple's event today. The new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max start at $1,199 and $1,299, respectively - a $100 price hike over their predecessors. You can't dodge the price hike by opting for an older iPhone, either, because Apple raised prices on
Suno's new v6 AI music model is its first made with support from the record industry. Suno's Jack Brody told The Verge that v6 was "trained from the ground up, with a new set of data that does not include the same data that our previous models were trained on." The data includes content licensed […]
At Wednesday's iPhone Duo launch event, Apple announced a handful of new Siri AI Audio Intelligence features, including Siri Recap, Live Rewind, Sound Recognition, and Music Recognition. Alongside its announcement, Apple released a document laying out how it plans to balance AI "ambient listening" a
Apple rolled out the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 at the "Surprise and shine" event. The new watches feature sizable improvements to the health sensors and tracking, plus the ability to recite audio transcriptions and summaries, plus a ceramic case option for the Series 12. Despite
Apple says its new watches won’t save raw audio, but features that can transcribe recent speech and summarize ambient conversations raise new questions about consent, privacy, and how people behave when they know they could always be recorded.
Apple has just announced its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo. The new phone has a 5.4-inch outer screen and a 7.6-inch inner screen, two back cameras, Touch ID for authentication, an IP68 rating, and all sorts of slick software tricks to make iOS feel more at home on the new device. Preorders
Apple is launching a new way to prove that the picture you took isn't manipulated by AI. A new feature, called "Reference Image," will arrive with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup later this month and is supposed to use the device's new camera sensor to "sign every pixel it sees." The iPhone 18 Pro and […]
We've just gotten our hands on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max at Apple Park following the company's "Surprise and shine" presentation. The new phones look quite similar to the previous iPhone 17 Pro lineup, keeping the same general design, aluminum body, and screen sizes. The 18 Pro lineup comes in f

After Apple wrapped up its "Surprise and shine" event today, we were able to get a look at the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. Both of the new watches launch September 18th, with preorders available starting today. The Apple Watch Series 12 once again starts at $399 for the aluminum case opti
