Now, Apple TV subscriptions will cost $14.99 per month, up from its previous price of $12.99 per month.

Retro, a friend-focused photo-sharing app built by former Instagram employees, has raised more than $21 million in Series A funding.

The backlash against license plate readers comes amid a wave of police abuses of surveillance cameras.

For a decade the advice was simple: put everything in the cloud and never look back. In 2026 that consensus is cracking. A Barclays survey found 83% of enterprises plan to repatriate at least some workloads from public cloud to private infrastructure, and IDC puts the share expecting to move compute or storage within the year near 80%. The most-cited example is still 37signals, the team behind Basecamp, who left the public cloud and reported saving roughly $7 million over five years. It...

Next.js 16 is the biggest release since the App Router landed, and the upgrade is not a one-line bump. The caching model changed shape, params and searchParams are now promises everywhere, Turbopack runs your builds by default, and middleware.ts is on its way out in favour of proxy.ts . None of that is hard on its own. The trouble is that the changes touch almost every dynamic route in a real app at once, so a rushed upgrade tends to fail in a dozen small places rather than one obvi...

Every team has a list of small jobs nobody wants to do: copy a new lead from the website into the CRM, chase an unpaid invoice, summarise a support email, post the same update to three places. None of them is hard. Together they eat hours every week and quietly burn out the people stuck doing them. Automation platforms exist to take that list off your hands, and in 2026 the three names you will keep running into are Zapier, Make and n8n. What changed recently is that all three stopped being s...

If your website has a support chatbot, an AI assistant, or any feature that writes text or generates images for visitors, a hard deadline is now on your calendar. From 2 August 2026, Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires you to tell people when they are talking to a machine or looking at AI-generated content. It is the first part of the Act that touches ordinary businesses rather than just labs building frontier models, and it applies the way GDPR does: not by where your company is based, but by ...

For fifteen years the goal of search was simple: rank on page one and earn the click. That contract is breaking. More people now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews a question and read the synthesized answer without ever visiting a blue link. If your brand is not in that answer, you are invisible to them, no matter how well you rank. This is the gap Generative Engine Optimization closes. GEO is the practice of structuring your content and your site so that large language...

Next.js gives you almost everything you need to rank well out of the box, and most teams still ship sites that Google struggles to read. The framework is not the problem. The problem is that SEO gets treated as a final checkbox instead of an architectural decision, so metadata ends up scattered, content renders on the client, and the structured data never gets written. The App Router changed how all of this works. The generateMetadata function, file-based conventions for sitemap.ts and r...

Web accessibility stopped being optional. The European Accessibility Act has been enforced since June 28, 2025, and it reaches any business that sells products or services to EU customers, regardless of where that business is based. In the United States, the Department of Justice's ADA Title II rule requires public bodies to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 2026, and private-sector lawsuits keep climbing every year. For a company shipping a website or app, that means a real deadline and real f...

Cloud spending is on track to pass a trillion dollars a year, and most of it is wasted. Industry data puts idle resources, over-provisioned instances, and missed commitment discounts at 25 to 35% of the average cloud bill. For an early-stage company where hosting can eat 6 to 12% of revenue, that waste is not a rounding error. It is runway. The good news is that cloud cost optimization rarely requires a painful re-architecture. The biggest wins come from a few low-risk moves: switching o...

The fastest way to lose trust in an AI support assistant is to watch it confidently invent an answer. That is the problem retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is built to solve. Instead of relying on whatever a language model memorized during training, a RAG system first retrieves the relevant passages from your own knowledge base, your help docs, policies, and product specs, then generates a reply grounded in that verified content. The result is an assistant that answers from your truth, ...

React is fast by default, until it isn't. The good news is that the vast majority of real-world performance issues trace back to a small set of patterns. Fix those, and you rarely need exotic optimizations. Measure before you optimize The first rule of performance work is to never guess. Use the React Profiler and the browser's performance panel to find what actually renders, and how often. Premature optimization Wrapping every component in memo and every value in ...

Previously I have a macOS App I use myself, gemini-live-translate-macos . It uses ScreenCaptureKit to directly capture audio from a specified App, eliminating the need for virtual sound cards like BlackHole. It then sends the audio to the Gemini Live API for real-time translation, outputting Traditional Chinese subtitles while playing Chinese audio. I've written two posts about the development process: the first one was about building it from scratch using AGY CLI, and the second one wa...
