I saw a borderline conspiracy theory video that the reason for the big "Dubai chocolate" craze in the US is a giant marketing campaign from California Pistachios to undermine the Iranian Pistachio market. And now it's all I think about when I see a new Dubai chocolate anything.

When I say yee, you better fucking say HAW 🤠 kacey is back!

Didn’t get a chance to really play with the pink one but the greenish yellow one was cuter IRL too.

Played with a MacBook Neo this morning and wow does it look and feel incredible in person. The screen is gorgeous. The build quality feels premium and I LOVE how that trackpad clicks feel. They’re going to sell so many of these. Can’t believe it starts at $599.

These single-step Apple Shortcuts are favorites I use almost daily Apple’s Shortcuts app lets you set up complex shortcuts, including with the 25+ new actions available in iOS 26. But my two favorite and most used shortcuts in Apple’s app involve just a single step each. more…

MacBook Neo review: the Mac for the masses The “it just works” laptop, for $599.

The MacBook Neo is Apple’s cheapest laptop, with a starting price of $599 and enough power to handle everyday tasks and last all day on a charge. It’s designed to entice students and first-time laptop buyers into Apple’s world. It will.

Apple Postpones Smart Home Display Launch as It Waits for New AI and Siri Apple Inc.’s artificial intelligence struggles are rippling through its product plans, forcing the company to delay a long-in-the-works smart home display until later this year, according to people wi...

NEW: Apple’s long-in-the-works smart home display and speaker with facial recognition for showing your personal content is delayed again, waiting on Apple’s new Siri and AI features. Current plan: September. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Apple's Smart Home Hub Won't Launch Until September as Siri Remains Unfinished Apple is postponing the launch of its planned smart home hub until September 2026, reports Bloomberg. Apple has pushed back the debut of the home hub multiple times due to ongoing issues with the revamped version of Siri. The hub has a heavy AI focus and it is tied to the more intelligent ‌Siri‌ that Apple has in the works. Prior to realizing the Apple Intelligence version of ‌Siri‌ would not be ready until 2026, Apple planned to launch the home hub in spring 2025. After it became clear ‌Siri‌ would need to be delayed, Apple then aimed for a spring 2026 launch for the home hub because it planned to release ‌Siri‌ in iOS 26.4. ‌Siri‌ is not present in the iOS 26.4 beta because the new version is still not ready, so Apple is now going to hold the home hub until September. Apple is reportedly experiencing issues with ‌Siri‌ accuracy and it hasn't managed to get all of the promised ‌Siri‌ features working reliably. A September launch timeline suggests we are not going to see new ‌Siri‌ capabilities until iOS 27, as September is when iOS 27 will come out. Apple has promised that the new version of ‌Siri‌ will launch in 2026, and as long as it debuts before December, Apple won't miss the timeline that it gave to the public. The smart home hub has apparently been finished and ready to launch for several months, but it can't be released without the ‌Siri‌ update. The device is similar in design to an iPad, but with a 7-inch square display. It can be attached to a wall or used with a speaker base, and there is a camera for facial recognition. The hub can tell when people are in the room and when someone walks up to it, and it will offer content specific to each person in the home. Apple designed it to be an AI hub for controlling smart home products, making calls, viewing apps like Calendar and Reminders, and much more. It is meant to be similar to the Amazon Echo Show, which is an Alexa-enabled speaker with a display. Apple's home hub does not include its own App Store, but it does run Apple apps. It will feature round app icons that are arranged similarly to apps on the Apple Watch, and it will run a version of tvOS 27. Apple first showed off the new version of ‌Siri‌ in June 2024, and planned to launch the features in iOS 18.4. ‌Siri‌ capabilities include personalization, onscreen awareness, and the ability for ‌Siri‌ to do more in and between apps, as well as image generation using Image Playground and a web search feature that summarizes information from web results. The ‌Apple Intelligence‌ ‌Siri‌ updates were meant to be followed by an iOS 27 update that turns ‌Siri‌ into a ChatGPT-style chatbot, but now it seems like all of the new features could come at once in iOS 27. Apple is planning to revamp ‌Siri‌ to make it look and feel more like a chatbot.Tags: Apple Command Center, Siri This article, "Apple's Smart Home Hub Won't Launch Until September as Siri Remains Unfinished" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

Apple 'HomePad' to Offer Magnetic Snap-to-Wall Feature and More Apple's upcoming "HomePad" will offer a magnetic snap-to-wall feature and more, according to the leaker and prototype collector known as "Kosutami." In a new post on X, Kosutami said that one of the HomePad prototypes features a MagSafe-like snap-to-wall capability, along with doorbell integration. It is said to be heavily reliant on Apple Intelligence. They apparently saw this prototype in person. Apple has reportedly been working on the device for several years, with the aim for it to serve as a centralized location for controlling smart home products, listening to music and podcasts, making video calls, and getting glanceable information like the weather and calendar events. The device is expected to have a 7-inch square display and a front-facing camera. Kosutami told MacRumors that while the name "HomePad" is being used internally, it is not clear if that is the product name that will actually be used upon launch. Earlier this week, the leaker said that the HomePad is now set to arrive in the fall of 2026. The fall runs from September to December, and usually coincides with Apple's busiest release period of the year. The device was originally rumored to launch in early 2025, but due to delays with ‌Apple Intelligence‌, its apparent release date moved to early 2026, and now to the fall. The rumored release timing means the HomePad could arrive alongside products like the iPhone 18 Pro in September or redesigned MacBook Pro models in October.

Apple 'HomePad' to Offer Magnetic Snap-to-Wall Feature and More

This statement from, of all fucking people, the director of Inside Out

One thing I feel ought to be discussed more is the fact that basically all rural and suburban places in the US are subsidized by cities. They resent cities. They insult cities. They elect politicians who abuse cities. But none of them could survive without cities.

I don't understand how in 2026 the new episode of drag race is not reliably available next day when you purchase the season. It's different week to week when it pops up.

I love treating my iPad like an iMac mini in my kitchen. It sits on magnetic stand that I can move around. It’s connected to a Magic Keyboard and trackpad. Rumor is Apple is working on a robotic iHome/pod like device, but honestly they should just make a home doc & standby mode for iPad.

Yeah but then I eat a snack and come to my senses again
