Awesome launch from VALVE. Really exciting to follow whether they can become a real player and competitor to Microsoft (and Sony, Meta and …)
Valve just dropped a 2026 hardware bombshell: Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame are on the way. Built to supercharge your Steam library, they’re pitched as the next big leap after Steam Deck.
One thing is launching something, another is launching something that actually WORKS — especially in generative AI! 🤖 I feel like we’ve seen quite a few examples of that lately: Apple, Google, and Tesla presenting awesome new AI features... In 10–15 months they’ve reached about 90% of the goal and tell the world about it (Apple... cough... the new Siri). Then it turns out the last 10% that doesn’t work is pretty vital and takes 20 extra months to build. It seems like it’s easy to build fast and impress with AI, but it takes A LOT OF TIME to make it all click! Woupsie! Hey Siri, add remoulade to the shopping list and send a heart to my wife. If even that’s not possible, there’s probably still a bit of road left before FSD (Full Self-Driving) becomes a 100% everyday thing in everyone’s garage 🚗 (2 years, Nov. 2027 — then we’re there)
Tesla may be steering into a multibillion-dollar crisis largely of its own making. Mounting self-inflicted risks could slam the company hard—and the iceberg is getting closer.

Woohoo, 30 days until PHP 8.5 launches. I’m especially crazy about the new pipe operator https://php.watch/versions/8.5/pipe-operator — and non-canonical scalar type casts (boolean|double|integer|binary) are being deprecated, so if you’re an “integer” coder, from now on you’ll have to remember to “int” that type cast 😜
PHP 8.5 lands with a slick pipe operator, handy array helpers, better error/debug tooling, and useful CLI/Intl/Curl upgrades. It also trims legacy baggage with several deprecations—modernize now.
Yet another super-cool piece of hardware that unfortunately probably won’t sell very much (the price is still way too high compared to Meta Quest, which covers 9/10 of my needs).
Samsung’s Galaxy XR headset is officially on sale for $1,800, throwing Samsung into the premium mixed-reality ring. It’s a bold Vision Pro rival with a seriously premium price tag.
New Siri vs. OpenAI Agents. If anyone can build slick 3rd-party OS integrations in the Apple universe, it’s Kramer and Weinstein. Exciting to see what they end up building together with OpenAI 🤓 I’m keeping a close eye on it and will report back here on the blog 📝
OpenAI bought the team behind Apple’s Shortcuts, signaling a big push to make ChatGPT feel deeply native on the Mac. Expect smarter automation, tighter system hooks, and a more powerful desktop AI experience.

The iPhone 17 Pro is truly a successfully engineered iPhone. I have a rule about only upgrading my MacBook and iPhone every 2 years, but I’m seriously considering upgrading my 16 Pro 1TB to a 17 Pro 1TB this year (update: sticking to my rule and waiting for the 18 Pro) 🥳🤪😅
JerryRigEverything tears down the iPhone 17 Pro and is wildly impressed. Beneath the hype: Apple packed in upgrades so good they spark serious gadget envy.
We just went from iOS 18 to iOS 26 and skipped iOS 19, so why not skip iPhone 19 too… I’m thinking an iPhone XX sounds better 🥳😅🤪 (The Roman numeral for 20 is XX. That’s because X represents 10, and when you put two X’s together (10+10), you get 20.)
Apple may ditch the iPhone 19 name and jump straight to iPhone 20. It’s a flashy rebrand play that could make the next launch feel bigger than ever.
It could be pretty sexy if someone made a clone of the new Liquid Glass Tab Bar for the web. I think that would work well with some of the mobile-first projects I’m working on right now. Maybe it should become a weekend project 😜
Apple says tab bars should make top-level navigation fast, clear, and always available. Keep tabs few, stable, and clearly labeled—icons help, clutter kills.
Not a huge AI news story that changes everything, but an important feature for Claude users (OpenAI’s ChatGPT has had it for a long time). I like that Claude has chosen to make it opt-in, so it doesn’t become “Now EVERYONE has it,” but more of an optional rollout: “If you want, you can turn it on now in your account” — nice move for people who are privacy-wary. 🤖 I personally use Claude Pro for a lot of coding stuff, ChatGPT for more business/writing/etc., and Gemini for Golang code.
Anthropic’s Claude now has memory, letting it remember past chats and user preferences for more personalized help. The big win: less repetition, smarter responses, and a more seamless AI experience.
Difference in battery life between the different Liquid Glass settings? I doubt it has much of an impact 😜 Max Clear Mode for me 🧊
MacRumors tested iOS 26.1 Beta’s Liquid Glass battery impact in Tinted vs Clear mode. Verdict: the difference is tiny, so pick the look you like without stressing your battery.
Should daylight saving time be abolished in the EU? From a developer’s point of view—one who hates time zones: yes please 🤣🤓🤙🏻
A Danish forum debates scrapping daylight saving time. Some want the clock changes gone for health and hassle reasons, while others argue over whether permanent summer or winter time makes most sense.
IKEA has launched a tiny new bed — for your phone 🙀 The idea is that the bed has a small NFC chip that opens IKEA’s app when you tuck your phone into it, which then starts monitoring the gyroscope. If you can then leave your phone there all night without touching it while it “sleeps,” you can earn IKEA gift cards as a reward. Right now, it’s only available in the UAE and not in Denmark, but it’s apparently become so popular that IKEA is considering rolling it out worldwide 🥳 The only thing I’m thinking is ... how can we hack it so we get free gift cards 😅🤓 ahhaah
IKEA UAE’s “Phone Sleep Collection” is a YouTube video showcasing sleep-themed phone content with a shopping angle. More promo page than story—quick, branded, and built to grab sleepy scrollers.
Maybe I should get it coded so my posts here automagically end up on my Threads profile, X, and maybe my other websites too, so they get read by someone other than my mom and you. 🫵🏻 😜😅
Meta’s Threads API lets developers publish text, image, video, and carousel posts. Posting is a simple 2-step flow, but watch limits like 500-character text caps and Tenor GIF support ending March 31, 2026.
So now I’ve bought outdoor vinyl for my Cricut machine, so we can update the mailbox with the newest member of the family: Bahloo 🐕📫
Cricut Smart Vinyl Permanent gives you a big 33 x 366 cm roll for long-lasting custom decals and labels. Perfect for bold, durable projects that stick and stay.
