Instagram Just Gave You Control Over the One Thing You've Been BEGGING to Change

Nearly a year after it was announced, Instagram says it's delivering the ability to rearrange the posts in your profile grid. It had been available to some people in test groups, but as of June 8th, it's rolling out widely via the Android and iPhone mobile apps. Until now, the posts on your Instagram profile have been locked in chronological order beyond the ability to pin three posts at the top, but once the feature is live on your account, you can long-press and drag posts freely, no matter h

Why Apple's Screen Time Fix Is Already TOO Late

Ask to Browse is one of the new features coming to Screen Time. | Screenshot The Verge Apple spending a big chunk of its WWDC keynote on parental controls was surprising for several reasons. But the biggest is that, despite all the airtime, it didn't announce much new beyond a redesigned interface. Almost all the features touted already exist or are upgrades to current options. Why Apple chose to do this isn't a mystery. You can trace the threads from the recent landmark social media trials ag

The iOS 27 Features That Are Already CHANGING Everything

Some app icons have a little more glass, but it gives them more identity. iOS 27 has only been out for a few hours, and I've been messing around with the developer beta on my iPhone 16 Pro. I was most interested in trying out the new Siri AI, but unfortunately, I'm still on Apple's waitlist for that. In the meantime, I've been poking around a bunch of features that aren't about AI and found a lot that I'm happy with - even though this doesn't seem to be as big of an update as previous years, t

Why Amazon's Own EMPLOYEES Want Seattle to Block Its Expansion

On Tuesday, the Seattle City Council will vote on whether to enact a one-year moratorium on new data centers - just two months after several companies proposed building five large-scale centers in the city. Among the moratorium's fiercest supporters are current employees from the city's biggest tech giant, Amazon, who joined others to testify in support of the policy last week. Data centers have sparked protests across the country over concerns about water consumption, local electricity prices,

The Numbers That Prove AI's Honeymoon Is OVER

As tech companies pour billions into AI, they face a growing risk: it’s incredibly unpopular. The backlash isn’t surprising. Do we really want technology that eliminates jobs, uses huge amounts of energy and water, erodes our ability to think, and poses a wide range of other risks, from making it easier for the government to surveil citizens to encouraging teen suicide? AI could obviously also be a useful tool—potentially helping develop better drugs and climate solutions, for example—but the ha

When iOS 27 Actually Hits Your iPhone — The Timeline NO ONE Expected

Yesterday, Apple unveiled the next major version of the operating system that will power the iPhone. The operating system, iOS 27, was revealed at the company’s annual Worldwide Developer Conference in Cupertino, California.

That’s because this year, Apple is really focusing on stabilization, speed, and bug fixes with iOS  27. W

Most of Apple's current AI ideas are roughly the same as everyone else's AI ideas. A chatbot you can ask questions; quick ways to create or summarize text; bizarre, borderline creepy image-generation tools. The company spent most of its WWDC keynote playing catch-up with the state of the AI art, announcing Siri features you can already find on Android phones and in the Claude and ChatGPT apps. The pitch, in so many cases, is just "this thing you know, but on your iPhone now." But a few minutes a

Nintendo Just Revealed What's Coming NEXT

After a week of video game news and trailers from PlayStation, Xbox, and most of the major publishers, it’s now Nintendo’s turn.

The Hidden Cost of Being a STOIC Leader

Why Returning to the Office Is BRUTAL for Workers With Chronic Illness

The workplace has a recovery problem. Most organizations know what to do when employees get sick. There are policies for leave, benefits for treatment, and a growing awareness around burnout.

A few years ago, if you walked down the produce aisle in any major supermarket in the U.S., you might have seen a sticker on avocados or lemons that said “Apeel.” The label wasn’t from a grower, but from a company designed to fight food waste; by adding a food-safe, plant-based coating to the fruit, it’s possible to make it last days longer, so it’s less likely to end up in the trash.
