I am a very funny new film about Tech CEO, a new place for WhatsApp, a great new secondary for your phone, a subsidiary crypto politics lecturer, and more. Less weeks this week, but still going on a lot. Let’s do this.

- Mountainhead, I mean, what is a more me-coded pitch “Succession Feeling, But about Tech Bros? “It (very recognizable) is about a group of billionaires, who run more or less the world and are wasting it more or less.
- WhatsApp for iPadI will never understand why Meta hates the construction of iPad apps. But it finally launched the most important! The app is very fine in itself and what really you think it will happen, but whatever it is. it exists! Do Instagram ahead.
- Game post, Chris plant a new podcast, former editor-in-chief PolygonAbout all video games. It is only a couple episode deep, but so far I like the format: it is really smart and extremely thoughtful, but it is also very foolish in the spot. big fan.
- Popcocket kick-out grip, I am a long time, dye-hard popsockets user and agelist, and the new model works as a scenario and fixes a one of my hold with talks. And Portrait Kickstand. $ 40 is a highway robbery for a phone holder, but it is exactly what I wanted.
- ,Dance with Sabrina“A new, real -time competitive rhythm game FortniteIn which you actually try to do enough good to earn the right to make shows. Super Fun concept, although all these games are better with pads, guitars, or anything really anything but a general controller.
- Lazy 2.0, Lazy is a stealth but attractive note -taking device, and it works unusually good to integrate with files and apps. New version It is very AI-forward, basically a personal chatbot and bring all your notes to your entire computer. clean!
- Alden Ring Nitrigan, The game is a multiplayer-wave spinoff that I cannot stop even after my gamer friends come out. I have seen that some people call the game a little shorter and repetitive, but next to it Alden ring I think there are most things.
- Tapo DL100 Smart Deadbolt Door LockA $ 70 door lock, as far as I can tell, every feature that I want in a smart lock: a keypad, physical keys, super long battery life, and many auxiliary integration. It looks … very big? But it is very beautiful looking, which is a good thing.
- Transplant: Titanic sub -disasterOne of some Titan-related documentaries in this summer meant to try to lead the terrible events of a few years ago. I have not seen it yet, but reviews are solid – and the story seems even more unhappy and more infiltration than what we thought.
- ,$ Trump’s growing scam, I like to take a good Zeke Fox on Crypto, whether it is a book or a Search engine Episode. This interview with Ezra Klein is a great interpreter how to get the Trump family in Crypto and how it is being used to confuse the money deeply and clearly move in a corrupt manner.
Cameron Faulkner Is not technically New To RuckusHe is just new back RuckusApart from being a commerce editor in our team, he wrote one of the deepest divers in the webcam, which you will ever find, play a lot of games, there are more ideas about monitor than any proper person, and it is my kind of person.
Since he is now very back, I asked the cam to share my homescreen with us, because I always try to do with new people here. Here is this, as well as some information on the apps that he uses and why:
Wallpaper: It is a “emoji workshop” manufacture, which is a feature built in Android 14 and recent updates. It simultaneously mashes emoji into your selection patterns and colors. I chose it because I like Sushi, and I like watermelon / coral tones very much.
Apps: Google Keep, Settings, Clock, Phone, Chrome, Pocket Cast, Message, Spotify.
I have not downloaded a new app at age. I can remember for longer than what is shown on my homescreen. I have digital light switches, a two-do list with great (but payment) Material Widget, a simple Google Fit To show me how much I moved today, and widen a couple of my dear wife and son Google Photo. I can probably work properly. If every app changed its place on its homescreen, leaving the bottom line. It is set in stone, can never be done together.
I also told Cameron to share some things. Here he sent back:
- Righteous gem On HBO Max. This is a very clever comedy, as much as I accepted (but it is still dumb in the best ways), and I am happy for four sessions to catch.
- I’m really digging Claire Obeskur: Campaign 33Which receives a style of breaknake pacing (equivalent to a page-turner game) and a style of rivals Personality 5Which is high praise.
- I have earned more than a dozen well Switch 2 Accessories, and I am excited to put them in the test after receiving the console on the launch day.

,Devil’s plan, This Netflix original South Korean reality show 14 closes the 14 contestants in a window -free space, which is the mansion, part gel, part room escape in the part, and challenges them to finish each other in a series of complex tabletop games. (If it seems familiar, it is a spiritual successor to the favorite series brilliant From mid-2010.) “-Travis

Open bubblesAn open source option Bluebals This requires a Mac, but there is no need to stay on that Mac, you just need a one -time hardware identifier, so it gives you full IMessage, using an email address to find my, facetime and iCloud shared albums on Android and Windows.

“play Mario Cart 8 Deluxe Ahead of the last time Mario Cart World The next week comes and handles my life! ” – Sunday
“With the pocket being killed, I have started using my RSS reader – which is Individual – Instead as a suitable replacement. I only switched to the pocket after the Omnivor was closed. ” – James
“I am just a Box go 10.3 For my birthday and love it. Lack of front light is the biggest decline. It is only on Android 12, so I cannot load a corporate profile.

“Giving Twice Go a little bit, and it is beautiful for a light weekly planner. I also use it in the present motion For project management of personal tasks and when I was doing my master.

One of the reasons I like to make this newspaper with all of you, it is a weekly reminder, hey, in fact, a lot of terrible people are on the internet there are terrible items there. I spend a lot of time talking to those who say that AI is going to change everything, and we are all going to AI and thrilled about it – a theory that I think fast and terrible.
And then I read this week A blog post from Great Dan CinkerThose who called this moment “the era of WHO care, where fully disposable things are prepared to ignore people mostly.” You should read the whole thing, but I liked a little bit here:
“Using extraordinary amounts of resources, it has the ability to make something good, a squint-end-rite-light-light sympliary of generality. If you don’t care, it is miraculous. If you do, confusion is separated very quickly. The fact that the user has not performed best for AI chatbots.”
I don’t think it describes everything and everyone, nor does the sinkar, but I think it is more true than it should be. And I think fast that our job, perhaps our method of rebellion, are people who take care of those who have tastes, who like and share and look for good things, which read and see and see those things that read and see. Intentionally Instead of staring at whatever slopes are kept between those advertisements instead, they hope that we will not really notice. I think there are many attractive ways that AI can be useful, but we cannot train it to accept the slope just because it is there.
Sorry, it became more existed than my estimate. But I am thinking a lot about it, and I am trying and going to point Installer More than this, which matters, which is done by people. I hope you catch me on him.
