Not in the market for a new laptop ATM but given how much everything costs nowadays I suspect this could be a generational success story for Apple.

Starting my #MWC2026 off at the Xiaomi press conference. Surprisingly into the Leica Leitzphone. Very expensive but the emphasis on traditional photography is a really refreshing contrast to how AI-led most other smartphone manufacturers are when it comes to the camera conversation nowadays.

Pokรฉmon Go was as close as weโ€™ve gotten to world peace 2016 will go down in history as the last time we ever felt connected as a society, and thatโ€™s all down to one little mobile app: Pokรฉmon Go.

I made a quick short about the article I co-wrote and the volunteer work I'm currently doing in 'Flash' preservation! If you know an Aussie 'Flash' artist or dev, let me know! ^^

How is the pivot to newsletters playing out? Is Substack the savior of journalism it claims to be? My guest for this issue of Multiplier is Athina Mallis. Mallis is the current editor of CRN Australia. Prior to that, she was the managing editor...

Getting increasingly irritated with all the nonsense that Google are adding to Google Photos. Are there any good alternative photo management apps for Android or setups that folks are using nowadays?

Still, if you're looking to get your mind around the legal drama, definitely worth watching. If you're after more stuff about the making of DE then the NoClip doco is more focused on that (at least so far)

I try not to get too mired in the discourse nowadays but my TLDR; would be that everyone on every side of the legal drama has incentive to push the narrative that paints them in the best light and there's a lot of consternation about whose claims get given what weight or challenged vs accepted.

There are a lot of opinions out there about the PMG ones but I do think it does a really good job of laying out the broad strokes of the situation and the various sides.

It conflates generative AI and Tesla self-driving, only quotes from experts employed at major AI companies and asks Gemini for comment ๐Ÿคฎ

AI got personal last week, and it's more complicated than we think A fake news story about me, a series of AI breakthroughs, and a resignation in the tech world have shown that 2026 could be pivotal for AI.

Absolutely staggered by how sketchy this piece is. Could the ABC please not get a finance columnist who clearly doesn't understand technology to write about AI? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

It's lost out to my Steam Deck as of late but depending on the game and the quality of your wifi network I rate it!

I had a similar moment with the big Diablo showcase the other day, which included a special thank you to a bunch of streamers I had never heard of. Truly bizarre stuff.
