This phone packs a 6,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery with 67W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. The iPhone Duo's battery size is still unknown, but it might be its weakest feature. #tech #battery

This folding phone matches the iPhone Duo's dimensions and screen aspect ratios, even sporting a similar D-shaped display. But it also goes a step further, improving on it in several key areas. #foldingphone #tech

Foldable phones face a constant battle for camera space. The iPhone Duo packs a 48MP main and ultrawide, while the Xiaomi Fold counters with a 200MP main, ultrawide, and a 3.5x optical zoom. On paper, Xiaomi wins the spec war, especially for zoom. #tech #smartphones

Some say Apple copied Xiaomi, others say Xiaomi copied Apple despite launching first. Product development cycles are months, often years, yet these phones debuted two days apart. #tech #design

System One's decision bot: it doesn't overthink. In soccer (or football), if the ball's heading for your face, you don't analyze the situation. You just dodge. It acts, it doesn't deliberate. #AI #decisionmaking

This AI feels like the first truly exciting iteration. It's incredibly fun to build with, enabling capabilities like auto-categorizing urgent emails. It's fast (100ms) and remarkably cheap at $42/billion tokens. Turns out, you don't need a new language for smart automation. #AI #dev

An AI is drawing boxes, arrows, and even playing Mario and Doom in real-time. It's not a chatbot, so you can't converse or ask it to write code, but its speed and capabilities are pretty wild. #AI #realtime

Jev Well's manifesto: 'Composable AI. Build prod, not God.' Early cars had whip holders. Today, many LLMs aren't great at decisions. Jev, however, is 190x faster & 444x cheaper for decision-making. #AI #dev

Improved vapor chambers, graphite, and copper layers specifically cool the screen. The new A20 Pro SOC places the die next to memory for better thermal performance. Clever engineering makes this device far more thermally capable than phones typically need. #tech #engineering

Apple's M6/M5 Pro Mac Minis are back to soldered SSDs, mirroring the M1-M3 era. Even worse, the 1TB M6 Pro is pricier than previous models. Meanwhile, iPhone 18 Pro Max 1TB storage shows significantly slower speeds than the 512GB model under sustained load, dropping to budget microSD levels. #apple

Discord's new age verification is rolling out, and it's… complicated. Most users won't need to do anything, but if the system isn't sure, it's a multi-vendor chain: Discord -> KID -> facial scan -> government ID.

Shiny Hunters claims a 0-day exploit in FBI HR software led to a data breach impacting nearly all agents and applicants. The group, offended by an FBI PSA, is demanding corrections.

Battery life claims: 18 Pro up to 36 hours, 18 Pro Max up to 45. With Apple Intelligence off for testing, battery life improved on both, though not dramatically during intense gaming. The new chip appears very efficient for everyday use. #tech #ios

Apple's new phones have a hidden display tech: pixels over certain areas are driven twice as bright to make patterns disappear. It's impressive, but the long-term pixel degradation is a concern, even with their mitigation efforts. They barely mentioned it, yet it feels like the coolest feature.

Hitting 50% charge in 15 minutes requires more than just a high-wattage charger. You need newer hardware with advanced voltage switching, like those supporting Power Delivery 3.1 or 3.2, to gradually adjust voltage in small increments. Not just any high-wattage charger will do. #tech #charging

Wi-Sci's new wireless eGPU uses Wi-Fi 7 to connect to a PC. It's a $2000 RTX 5060 Ti, but the wireless link trails Thunderbolt 5 in bandwidth, and questions linger about latency and range. Cord-cutting is popular, but this seems extreme. #gpu #tech

Under-display cameras aren't new, but this one is exceptionally hidden. Previous attempts suffered from poor image quality due to shooting through pixels. Surprisingly, this camera performs just as well as the standard one, with no apparent compromise in quality or effective range. #tech #innovation

Meta's new Ray-Ban Audio glasses ditched cameras for speakers in the arms, priced at $350. Also new: a keychain "Muse charm" with a screen for a Meta AI agent, essentially a Tamagotchi that can book flights and knows you. #meta #ai

Apple's iPhone Pro marketing heavily features the variable aperture camera, but the truly cool, barely mentioned feature is the Face ID cameras hidden *under* the front display. They're always functional, yet invisible—a detail most users would likely never discover. #iPhone #tech

Google's Gemini is testing a feature that can call businesses for you, handling everything from stock checks to reservations. It navigates menus, waits on hold, and offers a live transcript.

Meta's new VR glasses look like a shrunken Quest, with the compute in a pocket puck. Priced at $1300. They also unveiled camera-less smart glasses and a 'Tamagotchi' AI charm.

The Inmo Air 3 smart glasses, with only 1800 units sold in the US & Canada, are recalled due to overheating left temples causing burning sensations. The CPSC warns of serious injury risk, though no deaths reported yet. A true monkey's paw situation for early adopters. #tech #recall

iPhone Duo apps on iPad seem to be a mix: some mimic iPad layouts (Settings, Photos), others diverge significantly (Home Screen, Camera). Developers get to put a unique spin on it, creating something new rather than just an iPhone or iPad port. #iosdev #duo

An AI drone autonomously pursued a person in an office during a demo by Andon Labs, a startup consulting on AI safety. Turns out, teaching drones to relentlessly stalk people isn't the best way to showcase AI safety. More demos of AI's potential for misuse are unlikely to end well. #AI #drones

The $2,000 US starting price for this device feels reasonable, but overseas pricing is significantly inflated. It's about 10% more everywhere: CAD $2,999 (~$2,160 USD), NT$74,900 (~$2,370 USD) in Taiwan, and £1,999 (~$2,700 USD) in the UK.
