Rafael Schmitt: …Apple has been – for god knows why … – looking for a 4th top tier model of its phone. They tried a small phone – which didn’t sell. They re-tried the Plus formula, this time as a not-as-expensive option to the Pro Max. This one, once again, didn’t sell to the numbers Apple expected, the fact of it being price squeezed on both sides by the regular and Pro models pointed as the major existential threat. In 2025, after many rumors, they did it once more, this time ...| SchwarzTech
Joe Rosensteel: Obviously, I disagree with Mary and Sterling. I don’t think that this improves their products. Much of the interview is spent on rising costs, tariffs, subsidies, consumer demand for inexpensive vehicles, etc. Their solution of owning the platform for services more closely aligns with the direction that TV manufacturers have gone in to try and make money off of buyers after the hardware is sold, rather than just from the sale of the hardware itself. Look no further than thei...| SchwarzTech
Lori Grunin for CNET: The $599 Dekoda clamps over the rim like a toilet bowl cleaner, pointing an optical sensor at your excretions and secretions. It then analyzes the images to detect any blood, as well as analyze your gut health and hydration status. There’s a subscription fee of between $70 and $156 per year, depending the plan you choose. At toilet time, you sign in via a fingerprint sensor so that the device knows who’s using the facilities…The device has a removable, rechargeable...| SchwarzTech
Gardiner Bryant: But now that the scales have tipped, and the growing chorus of critics have reached critical mass, Framework’s leadership has their work cut out for them: Read the room. At the very minimum, stop promoting Omarchy. And take this lesson to heart: Prioritize your mission and invest in your community. The community isn’t distros or their maintainers, either. It’s the people who buy your products. If you’re failing to listen to us, then you’re failing your supposed comm...| SchwarzTech

Annie Mueller: “Hello! I am a developer. Here is my relevant experience: I code in Hoobijag and sometimes jabbernocks and of course ABCDE++++ (but never ABCDE+/^+ are you kidding? ha!) and I like working with Shoobababoo and occasionally kleptomitrons. I’ve gotten to work for Company doing Shoobaboo-ing code things and that’s what led me to the Snarfus. So, let’s dive in! About this tutorial I first started doing Very Simple Thing with Snarfus, but the more I used it the more I saw th...| SchwarzTech
Joseph Cox for 404 Media: The developer of ICEBlock, an app that lets people crowdsource sightings of ICE officials, has said he is determined to fight back after Apple removed the app from its App Store on Thursday. The removal came after pressure from Department of Justice officials acting at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to Fox which first reported the removal. Apple told 404 Media it has removed other similar apps too. “I am incredibly disappointed by Apple’s ...| SchwarzTech

Over the past week, I’ve been working to track down the new owner of MacSurfer’s Headline News, a beloved site that shut down in 2020 and has recently had somewhat mysterious revival. Fortunately, after some digging that didn’t really lead anywhere, I received an email from its new owner, Ken Turner, and he graciously took the time to answer a few questions about the new project. Eric Schwarz: It sounds like you were a fan of the old MacSurfer, what are you hoping to do with its revival...| SchwarzTech
Apple: Series 9, Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 users through an iPhone and Apple Watch software update coming later today. Users with these models in the U.S. who currently do not have the Blood Oxygen feature will have access to the redesigned Blood Oxygen feature by updating their paired iPhone to iOS 18.6.1 and their Apple Watch to watchOS 11.6.1. Following this update, sensor data from the Blood Oxygen app on Apple Watch will be measured and calculated on the paired iPhone, and resul...| SchwarzTech
While working on a reflective post, I happened to go to MacSurfer’s Headline News to check on a detail (if the “s” was camel-cased) and I was surprised that it was actually updated. For those unfamiliar, it was a site that provided a variety of links to Apple-related news, opinion articles, reviews, and more and was an excellent resource for someone like me—I found tons of content, but they were kind enough to let me submit posts, too. From an age before social media, it was a wonderf...| SchwarzTech
Zac Bowden for Windows Central: If there’s an unreleased Microsoft device out there, I’ve likely had my hands on it. That continues today, as I finally get to review what might be Microsoft’s most infamous unreleased product, the Surface Neo. Unlike the Surface Mini and other unreleased devices that I’ve tested, the Surface Neo is a product that Microsoft actually announced to the public and even set a release date for. Unveiled in October 2019, it had a promised release window of “...| SchwarzTech
