I didn’t get a badge but I’m at the Apple Event where we expect to see the MacBook Neo
When, almost a decade ago, I first used the Muse headband to meditate, I liked the idea, and I had no doubt that the device could deliver what the company said it could, but I had a mixed experience meditating...
The Apple M5 Pro and M5 Max are not just another reiteration of the Pro/Max lineup. These two processors are fundamentally different to anything that Apple has released until now: https://t.co/Pfc320Rb0i
I hear Nvidia is a big thing. I also see the @Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-9075 is hitting more than DOUBLE the frame rate of the Jetson AGX Orin on an AI computer vision model. On-device AI? Yeah, we do that really...
Elgato’s new Stream Deck Plus XL has 36 LCD buttons instead of 8, and 6 customizable dials. That’s a whole lot of Stream Deck https://t.co/Np8uk1IdCB
Highguard is the next Concord. It’s shutting down this month, after originally launching in January. It’s yet another victim of publishers chasing the success of games like Fortnite https://t.co/aXm68HJQMj

If true, MacBook Neo is such an interesting change of pace for Apple. Should've unified branding across the affordable range. Base iPad + even the new iPhone 17e. #MacBook #AppleLaunch
The return of the CPU will, interestingly, benefit Intel in a few ways. If they pull off my foundry thesis here, the rise of agentic CPUs could be the savior. https://t.co/dKqm16myKH
I know it's all marketing, but NVIDIA calls their GPUs super chips, really super all the things, and now Apple with super cores. Super memory, super storage incoming? 🤣
This is insane. Adrien's running the new Qwen 3.5 locally on an iPhone 17 in airplane mode 🤯 Nothing leaves his phone. There’s ZERO subscription attached. AI subs are now optional. https://t.co/moeq49i6aX https://t.co/u98zDLxQ9G
Apple is doing a much closer true chiplet design with these than with Ultra which is just two bonded SoCs. This separates the CPU/NPU from the GPU which brings some interesting options to scale both independently of each other. Likely...
Humanoid home robots are on the market – but do we really want them? https://t.co/CuiGupKNk1
What was the first health sensor you ever used that proved to you how health management would change with such technologies? My core experience was when the Pebble smartwatch (that came out after a successful crowdfunding campaign) measured my sleep and...

A "headless" Raspberry Pi has no monitor, keyboard, or mouse. You access it remotely. So it isn't a disconnected Raspberry Pi, but rather a connected Raspberry Pi without its "head". In this video I will show you 4 ways...
AI companions are everywhere at MWC26. So are red flags. Low price. Unknown brands. Zero transparency on where your data goes. The device isn’t the investment. Your privacy is. https://t.co/5vHc6cpKwi
Your Google Pixel device has now 3 new SpongeBob based theme packs This again seems to be a promotional theme pack which will be available to download until May 1, 2026. ✅ Details and screenshots - https://t.co/lcmWzlwWSq https://t.co/3NvCjOGo8t

Worth pointing out, no third party vendor $NVDA works with will be an off the shelf implementation into their designs. Everything will be co-optimized and intentionally designed into their platforms/systems. Relevant when thinking about the $LITE and $COHR plays.
Apple rolled out the iPhone 17e, the latest version of its lower-end smartphone, and a faster version of the iPad Air, kicking off a wave of new products. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-02/apple-launches-599-iphone-17e-with-magsafe-charging-m4-chip-ipad-air
Apple just dropped the new iPad Air now with an M4 chip, and 50% more RAM (12GB vs 8GB) than the last gen. Hell of a deal at $599. Unless you REALLY need 120Hz OLED, Apple Pencil hover, or FaceID...

Samsung India isn't allowing easy cancellation of Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-orders. There's no cancellation button on the order page. Pretty sure this amounts to "unfair trade practice" under the Consumer Protection Act, especially since the product hasn't shipped yet @SamsungIndia
