• PS5 Pro. I can’t imagine spending $700 any Game consoles, let alone game consoles without disc players. That said, I do enjoy being in spider man 2 – This is the only game I enjoy aimlessly exploring for hours at a time – with perfect graphics and amazing frame rates. Technically, this takes a few weeks to pre-order, but I’m sharing it now because we all need to start saving money ASAP.
• AirPods 4 with ANC. I’m sure the iPhone 16 will be fine, but in my opinion this is the most exciting thing Apple is launching this week – a set of open-back headphones with good noise cancellation is a rare and exciting thing. (AirPods Pro hearing aids are pretty cool, too.)
• Huawei Mate XT. this It’s the phone of the week. I can’t stop watching the trifold video, it gives me strong feelings western world Tablet vibe, in the best way possible. You probably can’t buy it, and at $2,800, you probably don’t want to, but I love that this thing exists.
• will and harper. I keep hearing great stories about this documentary where Will Ferrell and Harper Steele drive across the country trying to make sense of their relationship after Steele comes out. have Great interview from the New York Times Discuss the process with them as well.
• Peter Kafka Channel. No one does in-house tech media podcasts quite like Kafka, so I’m excited to see him pop up again on digital airwaves. (I guess, disclosure, he’s producing the show with Vox Media, edge‘s parent company. new yorker The editor, David Remnick, is a great guy.
• Panic world. Another great new podcast! Ryan Broderick writes one of my favorite newsletters about the internet, garbage daythe first episode of the podcast has the same “smart but almost unhinged” vibe. What a delight.
• Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2. I’m a very simple gamer. I love games where you fight and/or fight cool robots, and I love how intense and bloody everything is unnecessarily. All of which is to say, I’m sure I’ll find the latest Warhammer series to be utterly ridiculous and enjoyable – just like everyone else.
• “golden eye watch music”. This week alone, this song is 100% guaranteed to be on my Spotify Wrapped this year. The epic pause music from one of the all-time great games is now six minutes long, in ultra-high definition, and repeats itself as I work.
• iFixit’s FixHub smart soldering iron. i believe edgeWhen it comes to technical DIY, he’s a big fan of iFixit’s super-portable, super-simple tools that work with all things liquid metal. It’s not cheap, but it sounds interesting.
• Chrome tab groups on iOS. A tiny but very welcome browser upgrade: You can now sync groups of tabs from your computer to your iPhone. (It already works on Android.) Tab management on mobile devices is generally garbage, and Tab Groups are a great, not-quite-bookmarking way to keep things organized.

When I mentioned a few months ago how much I loved Andrew Bosworth’s “idea”Inbox ten”, the focus is on ending each day rather than it’s all over But in a manageable place, I hear some of you like this approach too. Bosworth’s system is simple and straightforward, but it’s also a great way to keep a lot of things organized.

When Bosworth (known as Boz) isn’t a productivity blogger, he’s the Chief Technology Officer at Meta. He’s been working there for two decades and now seems to spend a lot of time thinking about artificial intelligence, augmented reality, headsets, the Metaverse, and apparently all the other 60 million things the Meta does now.

I asked Boz to share his home screen to see how he manages it all and what else he might be thinking about. This is Boz’s home screen – he’s a corporate employee! – Plus some information about the apps he uses and why:

Telephone: I actually have two phones, an Android and an iPhone; my work phone is an Android phone, which is the beta version of my beta app. I’ve always preferred smaller phone form factors, so I’m currently using a Motorola Razr Plus for work, but I really have to go with the iPhone 15 Pro because I love the wide-angle camera.

wallpaper: My lock screen is a combination of solar eclipse photos I took in 2017. inside.

app: Savant, Alarm.com, Authy, 1Password, Siedle, Unity Video, Find My, Clock, Tidal, Asana, Noom, Settings, Mercedes Me Connect, Bill, Meta Horizon, Meta View, Messages, Phone, Camera , Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, Threads, Instagram, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Maps, Safari.

Definitely a single-screen user, so I try to keep all of my most-used apps on one screen, without folders. If they’re not there, I go look for them.

My home screen is more or less filled with apps arranged by frequency of use, with the apps in the lower left corner being used most frequently and the ones in the upper right corner being used less frequently. Communications are roughly in the lower left section, Home Furnishings are upper left, Media are lower right, and Miscellaneous are upper right.

I also asked Boz to share something that interests him right now. This is what he sent back:

• i am a huge photography enthusiast I really started using it recently lab box. I shoot a lot of the photos with film cameras, including a medium format Mamiya C330 Professional and a Hasselblad 500C/M, and then scan from there to a digital camera.
• I also collect and shoot rare or unusual lenses and am in the early stages of building my own, but still in the design stage, which may take me a while to execute.
• I have young children, so a lot of my time is spent transporting them to various activities and locations, but I really enjoy spending time with them and the people who support their various pursuits.
• I’ve been thinking about glasses a lot – I’ve been talking about the challenges we overcame in building the first working AR glasses prototypes, and I’m really excited about them, and so is Mark [Zuckerberg]. We’ve already seen the success and appeal of display-less smart glasses with built-in artificial intelligence Ray-Ban Meta smart glassesand the prototype we built is at the other end of the spectrum, where you can now also have a wide-field display in a true eyeglass form factor. Coupled with always-on sensors and contextualized AI, this could one day be a game-changer for personal computing, and we can’t wait to share more about this work in the coming weeks.

“I’m running out of 200GB of iCloud space. I have 18,500 files in my Photos app, but Apple can’t tell you which files are larger. As it turns out, the trial power photo Mac app lets you sort photos by size while they’re still in the cloud! In my case, just 500 files took up 100GB. Honestly, manual sorting is completely doable and can save 50% of storage space! – Nicola

“After the recent e-book vs. paper book debate edge broadcastI would like to point out Reader, go home Author: Marianne Wolfe.

“No volume prohibitedespecially”monopoly but communism”.

“Atlas Creed is a new indie author that I really like. He has self-published a crime thriller with some supernatural elements called ” armitageand it’s surprisingly killer.

“”How to make money from blogging.’Maybe read this article/review/artwork/disaster on a desktop instead of a mobile device? It’s worth it. – hunter

“While reading the latest issue, I thought of a YouTube channel for video articles that I would like to recommend. The channel is called Summon Salt.

I highly recommend it. – Granted

Highly recommended to newbies too! ——Rene

“I don’t usually buy new games at full price, but astronomy robot marvelous! – Sam

Sometimes I find myself in a whole new corner of YouTube. Sometimes it’s like, “Oh, of course there are a lot of people making cool gardening tutorials on YouTube!” But sometimes, like what happened to me recently, it’s a complete surprise. I’ve been spending a lot of time over the past week or so with what I guess you’d call “YouTube Shorts” – it’s just endless short, simple movies about every subject and story you can imagine: horror movie; inspirational shorts; Extremely meta story; action movie; A story about a coffee run with a big twist in the ending; student movies; More student films; so many student movies. I don’t know how I never thought to look for this before, but now it’s my go-to way to relax when I have a few minutes to spare. If you have never seen “nothing but everything,” You should. This is a classic short video on YouTube.
