Once upon a time, I was falling apart. In my other life, I make computers do whatever you want them to. I also make extremely miserable Tweets about tech / F1.

@iDeviceHelpus Just go BACK, and then press Verify Age again
It goes straight through

@Brett_UK68 @NekoMichiUBC You have to go into it, then press back, then magically it skips. Some kind of bug.
Everything in iOS 26 is a bug.
English

@NekoMichiUBC I think my Apple account was made over 18 years ago, I know I had an Apple account in 2008 as I remember having to use Itunes to update IOS.
Yet the verification was not skipped for me.

@realradec I weirdly don't remember this, but I remember the L1 and R1 buttons getting shredded way too easily. I haven't seen a DualShock 4 where the buttons are actually springy in a decade.

@designerontheru @app_settings This is a good observation actually. OEMs are probably fuming at the minimum recommended hardware for Windows 11, in order to meet Microsoft's elite-tier marketing, otherwise you just get ignored.
English

@app_settings I bet they're getting a lot of pressure from the hardware side. Asus, Lenovo, Samsung etc are probably asking some questions about why MacOS runs fine on 8GB of ram but not Windows.

@djodjeee_ Holy shit I remember this now! I thought some of the trailer shots looked creepily familiar. Can only assume this was "found" on a public file server somewhere, and/or this is a viral marketing stunt.
English


@xAZERALx @djodjeee_ They always re-cut trailers (and the movie) after test screenings, to adjust target market/demographic.
3 months is about that right time frame.
English

@djodjeee_ I think because of the leaks, they had to change the trailer a little bit

@Dariusaurus Literally nothing on that console I promise. XDK’s are locked down tight. You would need an active license directly from Microsoft. In order to do anything. Otherwise it’s technically a banned console.

@Aipromptslap @xdadevelopers That "Windows Mail" application was ABSOLUTELY FINE, I don't know why they keep making these decisions
English

@xdadevelopers We’re trading native performance for lazy web wrappers. New Outlook is basically just an Edge tab with a higher RAM tax. It’s a massive step backward for Windows UX.
English

Microsoft is quietly turning Windows apps into websites, and New Outlook is a warning

🚨 | NEW: Mercedes aren’t pushing the power unit yet.
They’re comfortably running a mapping at 3.5 on a scale that can reach 5.0.

@Lord_Wompus I think the Brazilian Mega Drive has Mega Games 6 built-in. Maybe.

@LavaVex @LukeMiani What happens if we use a USB hub on this port ?

The tech review cycle for the MacBook Neo is officially in full "gaslight" mode. It’s fascinating to watch professional reviewers frame RAM swapping as some kind of innovative performance feature rather than the hardware failure it actually is. In their effort to justify a $599 price tag for a machine with 8GB of memory in 2026, they’re telling you that Apple’s "fast swap" makes the physical RAM limit irrelevant.
It is a complete lie.
When a reviewer says a laptop "handles 8GB better than Windows," they are usually just ignoring the fact that the system is constantly offloading active tasks to the SSD because there isn't enough physical room to breathe. They’ll show you a video of 20 Chrome tabs opening smoothly and call it a win for "Apple Silicon optimization," while completely ignoring the Activity Monitor showing the "Swap Used" counter climbing into the gigabytes. Framing a hardware bottleneck as a "smart software feature" isn't a review; it’s an unpaid internship in Apple’s marketing department.
The reality is that 8GB is 8GB. In 2026, with the GPU and OS already claiming nearly 2GB of that unified pool, you are starting with a deficit. No amount of "magic" swap memory can replace the latency and longevity of actual physical RAM.
The Verge (Antonio G. Di Benedetto):
Labeled the 8GB as "totally adequate" for everyday tasks. Calling it "adequate" in a review for a brand-new device is basically code for "it works today, but don't try to use it for anything next year."
iJustine & Tyler Stallman:
Both have showcased the Neo doing "heavy" tasks like video editing with background apps open. While they don’t always use the word "swap," they are demonstrating the exact scenario where the SSD is being hammered to mask the lack of RAM, framing it as "smooth performance" without mentioning the long-term cost to the hardware.

@ShedTothe76210 @bt_uk @danbarker Yes but, come on there are like 10 million Dan Barker in this country lol
English

Hilarous.
@BT_UK wanted to upgrade me. I did not want it.
Eventually they apparently sent a Smart Hub, which I did not request, did not want, and have never seen.
They've now charged me £65 for not returning the Smart Hub, which I've never seen, and never wanted.

@LuftkoppTim I watch stuff like this just for the... new tech things.
I kinda like that they just reel specs, and show glam B-roll of the toys, and etc. Nice background noise.
But yeah typically (typically!) they don't offer much actual detailed insight that I wouldn't already just read.

So many people defending MKBHD lol
You people understand that he doesn't even know you guys exist?
In all seriousness, 10min for a monitor review is nothing, but:
This is not a monitor review. At all.
He reads a spec sheet and that's literally it. Everything else is just an opinion of him about this monitor.
The fact alone that he just claims that the Studio Display just uses an 11 year old panel says it all. No measurements about color accuracy, latency nothing. He just reads 27", 5K, 60Hz. And that means it's identical to the old iMac one.
For an actual review of such a display it would be super important to see how Apples claims hold up, does it reach 2000 nits brightness, what is the sustained full screen brightness, contrast, how well calibrated is the panel and all of Apples reference modes. THOSE are important facts worth knowing if you're in the market for this display that you want to use for your work.
Some dude talking about how nice 120Hz is, that the bezels are thicker or how generous Apple is for including the stand are hilariously irrelevant.
At 1:45 he says "there is not much to say about the panel itself" which is nothing but is ridiculous. It is literally THE most important part of a monitor review.
He LITERALLY just reads of a spec sheet. That is a hands-on at best. Not a review.

10 minutes for a monitor review? 😭

@dxbestani Monaco can become interesting even if Mercededs qualify well

@SecurityTrybe Knoppix! Somewhere in 2001. I couldn't believe you could boot an entire operating system from a burned CD, I think that was genuinely the point I became obsessed with computers.

@christianjfarr1 @The_Forty_Four Just enough for one quarter of a 330ml bottle of beer! Woooo
