Meta may have another wave of Ray-Ban smart glasses close to launch. Recent FCC filings reference two unreleased models: “Ray-Ban Meta Blazer” and “Ray-Ban Meta Scriber,” plus a Blazer Large size variant. The filings don’t reveal full specs, but they strongly suggest these are production-ready products. Reporting also points to upgraded wireless support (including Wi-Fi 6 / UNII-4 band), which could help with faster transfers for features like live AI video and streaming. What the FCC clues imply about these glasses The naming matters. “Ray-Ban Meta” branding usually signals the AI-first, non-display line rather than the display AR prototypes, and…

Amazon may be ready to try smartphones again—more than a decade after the Fire Phone flopped. Reuters reports that Amazon is developing a new handset internally codenamed “Transformer,” designed to work closely with Alexa and make it easier to use Amazon services like shopping and Prime media. The project reportedly sits inside Amazon’s devices organization led by Panos Panay, and a skunkworks-style team called ZeroOne—run by former Microsoft executive J Allard—is developing the device. Reuters also says the plan could change or get canceled if strategy or finances shift. What Amazon wants to do differently this time The Fire Phone…

Windows 11 may finally get a quality-first reset. Microsoft’s Windows & Devices lead Pavan Davuluri says upcoming Insider builds will focus on performance, reliability, and “craft,” instead of adding more clutter. The plan includes faster File Explorer behavior, smoother navigation, and fewer frustrating slowdowns people keep complaining about. Microsoft also admits Copilot has shown up in too many places. The company says it will become more intentional about where Copilot appears and will remove “unnecessary” Copilot entry points across several built-in apps. Less Copilot Noise Across Built-In Apps Microsoft says it will start trimming Copilot entry points in apps like…

SanDisk’s looped portable SSDs used to feel like an easy, affordable way to stash a few terabytes. That bargain disappears fast if you shop through Apple. Apple Store listings now show dramatic price jumps on external drives, matching what Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported this week. One example is blunt: Gurman said a SanDisk 4TB external SSD that previously hovered around $500 now lists near $1,200, and the 1TB version jumped from about $120 to roughly $360. Why external SSD prices are rising now The driver isn’t a single brand. It’s a broader supply squeeze tied to the AI infrastructure boom…

Dating apps are losing their shine as younger users report burnout from endless swiping and shallow matches. Tinder thinks it can reverse that trend by rebuilding the experience around AI-driven recommendations and safety tools. The company announced several new features it plans to roll out over the coming months. Tinder says these updates will reduce dating fatigue by showing users more relevant matches and nudging conversations toward more respectful behavior. Chemistry and Learning Mode: AI-curated matches and taste profiling Tinder is introducing “Chemistry” in the U.S. and Canada, which provides a daily AI-curated match recommendation. Tinder positions it as a…

OpenAI’s head of robotics, Caitlin Kalinowski, has resigned and publicly explained why. In a LinkedIn post, she said AI can support national security, but she drew a hard line at surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization, arguing those issues needed more deliberation. Her exit lands in the middle of broader criticism over OpenAI’s Pentagon work. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has acknowledged the company’s rushed Defense Department agreement “looked opportunistic and sloppy,” which added fuel to internal and public backlash. Why this resignation matters for AI and robotics Robotics is where AI stops being “software”…

Apple’s new bargain vibe may not last. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reportedly calls the MacBook Neo an outlier, not the beginning of a sustained push into low-end pricing. He says Apple is preparing a wave of “superpremium” products that will sit above today’s Pro tiers, even if Apple doesn’t stamp every one with the “Ultra” name. That means Apple could end up doing both at once: offer one attention-grabbing budget laptop while building a higher ceiling for buyers who want (and can afford) the most expensive version of everything. What “Ultra-Tier” Might Mean for Mac, iPhone, and AirPods Gurman’s reporting suggests…

I love chess, and I also lose to my phone more often than I want to admit. That’s why “Taser Chess” sounds like the kind of unhinged invention that might force better habits—by punishing mistakes with a jolt. A maker who goes by Everything is Hacked built exactly that: a chessboard that delivers an electric shock when you blunder, hesitate, or break basic rules. The idea came from a simple motivation: stop getting embarrassed by street chess hustlers. The execution, though, turns chess practice into a behavior experiment—where every bad decision gets immediate negative feedback. How Taser Chess Works: Stockfish…

Global debt surged by about $29 trillion in 2025, marking the biggest annual rise since the pandemic era, and pushing total world debt to a new record of $348 trillion, according to the Institute of International Finance (IIF). The IIF links the surge to governments and companies spending heavily on national security and the accelerating AI infrastructure buildout, with AI-related investment emerging as a fresh driver of borrowing and capital markets activity. AI and defense spending are reshaping the debt cycle The IIF notes that public borrowing did most of the heavy lifting in 2025, as governments expanded deficits and…

Touchscreen MacBook Pro rumors refuse to die—and now the reporting has sharpened. Multiple outlets citing Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman say Apple is preparing OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro models targeted for late 2026. Apple reportedly won’t sell the MacBook Pro as an iPad replacement. Instead, the company may let you use touch as much or as little as you want, mixing taps and gestures with the usual trackpad-and-cursor workflow. OLED + Dynamic Island: an iPhone-like screen on a Mac The rumored display shift sounds very “iPhone-coded.” Reports claim the MacBook Pro could adopt an OLED panel and a Dynamic Island-style cutout at…
