While AI agents are always getting more powerful, I don't think anyone would have expected DoorDash to get on board officially. If you've ever wished that you could send Claude Fable 5 grocery shopping, DoorDash has revealed its own CLI beta, and you can sign up for the waitlist now if you're a macOS developer in the US or Canada.

I’ve been using Immich to organize my photos for a while, and thanks to its built-in 3-2-1 backup provisions, neat UI, and memories facility, I managed to get my family to switch over to this FOSS application. But after sifting through Immich’s documentation to configure email notifications for the other denizens of my household, I came across a page on its machine-learning algorithms.

I stood before a hulking glass and brick structure in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas. Thousands gathered inside to see what had been billed as "the future of policing in the digital age." As press, I was prohibited from entering, but from a number of nearby locations, I met with attendees who told me what was being sold within. And I learned that AI is threatening to seize the very heart of policing in America.The promise of AI at this year's International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Technology Conference focused on automating routine parts of the job, which also happen to be critical steps in the legal process. It's a similar …Read the full story at The Verge.

Diagnosing PC performance (or the lack thereof) on the internet can often become a practice of jumping fifteen different hoops before a solution sticks. If you mention that your games "stutter every now and then", you'll likely find a guide that will try to convince you that your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU, another will blame Windows 11, and a few will recommend reinstalling your chipset drivers. These may all be solutions that worked for someone else, but none of them guarantee a fix to your specific problem.

For a long time, I only opened Claude Code when I thought I had a coding problem. I’d ask it to write a script, explain something unfamiliar, or help me untangle a project that had already gone sideways. It was useful, but I kept treating Claude’s ability to inspect an entire directory as a side feature rather than my favorite use. Once I started pointing it at messy project folders, scattered notes, old drafts, and files with names that stopped being helpful months ago, it became far more useful in my actual day-to-day work.

Google must give rival AI assistants and search engines greater access to key parts of Android and Google Search after the European Union ordered the company to comply with the bloc's digital antitrust rules. The two decisions, handed down Thursday, could weaken Google's control over two of the tech industry's most important platforms and have far-reaching consequences for the company, shape the future of its AI tool Gemini, and open up new opportunities for rivals to gain ground. The rulings stem from technical regulatory proceedings under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which requires dominant platforms - designated "gatekeepers" - …Read the full story at The Verge.

Skullcandy announced a new version of its Crusher wireless headphones today featuring a few of Bose's audio technologies including its QuietControl ANC and head-tracking spatial audio. The Crusher headphone line differentiates itself from the competition through the use of both full-range and dedicated bass drivers in each ear cup to boost deeper frequencies. Skullcandy admits that approach can result in a loss of audio quality when the bass is heavily boosted, but its new Crusher 1080 ANC are meant to address and improve that with Bose's help.Available starting today for $279.99 in black, candy, primer, and cement color options, the new C …Read the full story at The Verge.

While typewriters have moved on from general public use, they do have one good use in a busy modern-day world: they're totally free of digital distractions. But how do you bring the typewriter into the 21st century for general use? Well, Myth Made on YouTube has the solution: an e-ink typewriter that's the perfect blend of old and new.

Immutable Linux distros absolutely deserve all of the attention they get. It's a read-only base, atomic updates that either fully apply or not at all, and the applications are sealed off from the system, adding up to a OS that's difficult to actually break. If your goal as a new Linux user is to never have to think about it, then it's an easy recommendation, but immutability isn't what makes Linux rock-solid. On the question of stability and recovery, a normal non-immutable distro can easily meet those requirements.

Though I've been a Waze user for years, I've expanded my navigation app horizons to include Apple Maps (it's so much better than it was at launch) and, more recently, Google Maps.

After Sony stated that it will halt PlayStation disc production in 2028, the discourse around owning physical copies of video games has once again bubbled to the surface.
