Arizona’s lifeline for chip manufacturing is drying up

Arizona, an epicenter for the bipartisan push to revive American chip manufacturing, is about to lose more than a quarter of the water it typically pulls each year from the Colorado River. The 1,400-mile waterway is a crucial lifeline for the region and other western states. A recent federal decision on how to manage its […]

Ikea supersized its cheap Bluetooth speaker and added an optical input

Ikea's new Badkruka wireless Bluetooth speaker is now available in the US for $59.99. It's reminiscent of the colorful and tiny $10 Kallsup speaker that Ikea debuted earlier this year at CES 2026, but at almost seven inches tall, the boxy Badkruka isn't designed with portability in mind as it also lacks a rechargeable battery.

Samsung says ‘Tim Cook’ bought a Galaxy Fold

Released right as Apple announced its iPhone Duo, the ad mimics Apple's cinematic product launch videos, with "Tim Cook" saying […]

Why Apple’s next computer should be for the smart home

John Ternus didn't mention Apple Home once during his first keynote as Apple CEO. But he did open by describing an "intelligent personal hub" that prioritizes local processing, protects your privacy, and integrates with all your other devices, apps, and services. While Ternus was talking about the iPhone - not a new smart home device […]

New York City’s last pickpocket doesn’t need a smartphone

Hello once again from Toronto, where for a week every year I watch far too many movies and tell you all about them. The festival, better known as TIFF, is always a great preview of the months ahead in film, with a nice mix of mainstream fare, awards contenders, indie surprises, and genre flicks destined […]

Meta says it’s changing AI suggestions after posing invasive personal questions

Meta says it's making changes to the prompts suggested by its AI chatbot after a viral video showed it digging for personal information about a woman's young daughters, as reported earlier by Futurism. In a statement to The Verge, Meta spokesperson Dina El-Kassaby says the company "missed the mark," adding that "the feature never should […]

Meta may have leaked the first look at its slim ‘Project Phoenix’ headset

Just a couple of weeks before Meta Connect starts on September 23rd, UploadVR posted images seemingly revealing the design for Meta's "Project Phoenix" headset. The images, which UploadVR says were "found in the HorizonOS Prescription Lens firmware package," suggest Meta may be looking to compete with devices like those from Xreal or Viture. These companies' […]

C++ Input Doesn't Have to Be Complicated: Word vs. Line Input with EasyIn

If you're learning C++, one surprisingly common source of confusion is input. Why does this: std :: cin >> text ; only read one word? Why does std::getline() sometimes seem to skip an input? And why does reading text from a file suddenly print every word on a separate line? The answer becomes much simpler once you understand that C++ has two different ideas here: reading a value and reading a line . That's also the idea behind my small head...

Weekend Build Log: Stdout Is the Demo, Not a UI

You sit down on Saturday with one goal. You want a tiny status reporter for later. The coding agent already has a full plan. It wants a dashboard, a worker, and Redis. You did not ask for that extra surface. You asked for a green or red result. This log shows the cut you should make. The Saturday scene The repo is a quiet side project. It holds one script and a data folder. You type a loose prompt anyway. "Make a status page I can demo." The agent treats "page" as ...

The File Fence Lab

A Friday review often begins with a polite subject line. The patch claims to fix a 504 on /invoice . Then the file list arrives: a new Redis helper, a line in requirements.txt , a port in docker-compose.yml , and a comment that the timeout was “probably a cache miss.” Nobody asked for a cache. The timeout lived in one function. The model widened the job because nothing in the repo told it where the fence was. This lab treats that leak as a teaching object, not a personality debate. AI codi...

AI agent memory vs RAG — what's the difference?

Most teams building on LLMs end up with two patterns in the same codebase: RAG for looking things up in a corpus, and some hand-rolled memory for remembering what the agent has done or what the user has said. The two are often confused, and the confusion costs real engineering time when one is used in place of the other. RAG retrieves content the agent doesn't already know . Memory retrieves context the agent has already participated in . They share a vector store but they answer...

Building a 2D Terrain Editor: Auto-Tiling, Slopes, and Collision

A 2D terrain editor should let creators think in terrain—not in a catalogue of corners, edge tiles, and one-off fixes. When a map is built tile by tile, a small visual change can become a maintenance problem. Paint a new patch of ground and suddenly every transition, slope, collision boundary, and layer relationship needs attention. That friction is exactly what we set out to remove. The terrain problem with tile-by-tile editing Traditional tilemaps are powerful, but they ask ...
