While Siri AI won't make it to EU iPhones and iPads, looking at South Korea's path is genuinely eye-opening.

Carla Bassil at the University of California presented an »electric schnoz« at the Grad Slam challenges. A proof-of-concept device that sniffs out gases emitted by harmful bacteria, allergens, and other food safety hazards.

People are quick to say no when it comes to smartglasses.

Besides Meta's Ray-Ban with the Neural Band, these 48g "agent" glasses just got announced. Not the first piece of tech for public spaces, sure, but it gets interesting once you think about them alongside your workstation with all the connectors and sensors.

48 grams is insane!

Forward Deployed Engineers are slowly making their way into the non-developer tech bubble too.

If you want to read up on the origins of the role and the different ways software companies actually implement it, this 2025 deepdive by Gergely Orosz is a great starting point.

With all the release frenzy, it's easy to miss some interesting features. Worth checking out /workflows when you get a chance. And while you're at it, /deep-research is a pretty good example in this context.

A few years back I saw blokdots at the DDX conference. Today they’re shipping version 3.0, and it looks great.

Visual prototyping for interactive hardware. Perfect for exploring and building better interactions between humans and machines.

Just watched André Michelle's talk from the last @btconf for the second time. Still hits.

What I appreciate most: personality with honest self-doubt, real reflection, a strong focus on creativity, and good humor. And that passion for pushing the boundaries of what's possible (on the web). Kudos, André.

Thanks @marcthiele for making space for talks like this.
