  all around the world, over the course of many years, a bunch of white street and parking lights slowly turned blue/purple, when a special yellow phosphor coating that turned blue light into white gradually delaminated. nobody knew this defect would happen, it just took time. i think that’s beautiful

  driving by a random (to me) strip mall in colorado, i asked the family for a brief pitstop (so patient with me) because this apple store looked like none i’d seen before. the stone curves! the mirrored apple logo! it turns out…

  the temu app will be studied for generations. i opened the app, and recorded this unedited, nearly two minute, launch sequence. it somehow just gets funnier and more absurd

  from guest contributor @neven@pdx.social , a wild redesign of truly historic proportions: folks, they actually redid the Pirate’s Booty bag. It’s funny. I always hated the old package. But now, maybe I like it. What do you think? #wildredesign

  traveling with the family and trying the UniFi Travel Router! it logs into hotel wifi (even captive portals) and creates a new wifi network, with the same name as ours at home. it also sets up a vpn to our home network. result: everyone’s devices hopped on wifi, with zero setup! (and i get my NAS)

  this is such cool tech: • unreal engine realtime face animation • uv-ink markers hidden in bandana to calibrate • if a motor gets tired, no misalignment storywise, i always liked the quiet simplicity of "wow that's a lot of gold". but it's fun to try new things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=331z0nOZJw0

  it’s an historic redesign caught in the wild: newton’s sheds the last of its late-90’s vibes and joins the funky font family. it looks much better, right? agree or disagree? #wildredesign

  • pull phone out of pocket • adjust airpods volume • slide phone back in pocket • hand or leg grazes the on-screen volume slider on the way down • sets volume to either total silence, or ear-destroying maximum every time. just me?

  for some reason it really bothers me that when you click and drag this dumb guy in slack, it drags out a sprite sheet 🫠

  “oh, don’t forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that’s kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!” “no problem boss. i’m on it”

  ✔️ nice voice ✔️ catchy, hummable melody ✔️ bass player having some fun ✔️ double tracked vocals that kick in at the chorus it’s all i really want from music https://music.apple.com/us/album/leave-you/1889504447?i=1889504449 (also don’t miss her other perfect song, “sleep for days”)

  this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you’re inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn’t.

  First three top-of-mind thoughts about Apple Intelligence: • I really wish they would have addressed the environmental story. That would help me personally accept these features more. But I know they can’t… because the story isn’t good. • I actually think a lot of it looks quite nice, feels Apple-esque, and the UI they’re doing is really cool • I remain viscerally repulsed by any AI generated art lol (In their Notes demo the sketch looked better!) True absolute star of the keynote: MathNotes

  "At Walt Disney World in Florida, on a sunny day in spring or summer, together four solar projects can now produce up to 100% of the daytime power needs of the entire resort – spread across four theme parks, two water parks, dozens of hotels, and more. That is… incredible?!? And so obvious. MORE!
