I almost missed this because the email went to spam. Microsoft is killing SwiftKey accounts and Gmail/Google sign-in, and is forcing us to move to Microsoft sign-in to continue backing up and syncing SwiftKey data.

Backups are now going to live in OneDrive. 😐

You have until May 31st, 2026 to migrate.

Websites that hijack the back button, like many news sites do, will now be classified as spam. Good! About time.

This should get rid of the practice almost immediately, and certainly from most sites by the enforcement date of June 15, 2026.

Google bumped the $19.99 AI Pro plan from 2TB to 5TB today. It's a free upgrade.

Must be still rolling out though as 5TB is reflected in some places but not others.

It's very timely as I'm a couple of videos away from hitting 2TB.

So this is pretty random, but I have a yearbook photo of Dario Amodei of Anthropic from 8th grade.

"Most likely to succeed." Pretty spot on, no?

Finally, it comes with a magnetically attached detachable Bluetooth remote. And when it is folded down, the remote is snuggled in so that it doesn't fall out.

The whole package is lighter than you would expect too. Very clever.

The best part is it instantly converts into a tripod that is as tall as an average human, which means now I can take group photos anywhere without having to find someone to snap the photo.

Converting it to tripod mode is my favorite part - just stomp it on the ground and voila. [2/3]

The @spigen Mag Fit+ selfie stick (model S581W) is my favorite new travel accessory this year so far.

It's almost as tall as me at 66" (168cm) which is great for selfies or getting unusual photo angles without a drone. But that's not the best part about it. [1/3]

I've been a big fan of KRAZAM for a while, but their newest video "Fantasy FAANGball" might be their best yet.

It's Silicon Valley (the show), except in YouTube skit form. This is just excellent.
