The episode covers a wide range of topics from hardware shortages and software betas to major security breaches and executive transitions. The panel discusses the recent Vision Pro beta releases, noting that while the updates are relatively minor, they significantly improve connectivity with game controllers. Looking ahead, Apple Arcade is set to launch a "Retrocade" on February 5th, bringing 3D immersive versions of classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Asteroids to the headset. The team also reviews the recent immersive Lakers NBA game, sharing mixed feelings about the audio quality and app stability, but ultimately expressing excitement for the future of sports in VR. Current MacBook Pro stock is reportedly thinning, with wait times stretching into March. This has fueled speculation about an imminent release of M5 Pro and M5 Max models. The panel debates whether users should upgrade now or wait for the rumored M6, while also considering how NVIDIA's priority at TSMC for AI chips might be impacting Apple's supply chain. The discussion takes a serious turn regarding a massive 1TB data breach at Apple manufacturing partner Luxshare. The stolen data allegedly includes confidential product designs and engineering documents from 2019 through 2025, raising concerns about reverse engineering and hardware vulnerabilities. On the software side, 1Password has introduced a new anti-phishing feature that warns users when they attempt to paste passwords into suspicious websites. The panel also revisits Walmart's continued refusal to accept Apple Pay, noting that the retailer prefers its own "Walmart Pay" system to maintain control over customer purchase data. Apple TV+ continues to gain momentum with six Academy Award nominations for the film F1. The panel also previews upcoming content, including the March 27th premiere of For All Mankind Season 5, and discusses other popular series like Starfleet Academy and Monarch. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to reports that John Ternus is being groomed as the next Apple CEO. Ternus has recently taken over management of the design teams, a move seen as a way to expose him to broader business operations before Tim Cook eventually retires. While some panelists express anxiety over a post-Cook era, others highlight Apple's history of strong succession planning. Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.

Highlights include solar-powered tech, innovative dash cams, creative accessories, audio gear, docks, and a surprisingly thoughtful retro-inspired digital camera. The conversation then turns to Apple software updates, including the imminent release of iOS 26.2.1 and beta testing of iOS 26.3 across Apple platforms. A major highlight is Apple's progress toward end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging, reinforcing Apple's ongoing privacy stance. Apple's surprise announcement of the Creative Studio Bundle sparks lively debate. The new subscription includes Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage across Mac and iPad. The panel discusses subscription fatigue, student pricing, competition with Adobe Creative Cloud, and what this means for professionals and educators. The episode also covers Apple Podcasts' strongest year ever, despite increased competition from Spotify and YouTube. While Apple may hold a smaller share of a growing podcast market, engagement and subscriptions continue to climb. Other topics include updated Apple trade-in values, new firmware releases for AirPods Pro and MagSafe batteries, Shazam's 2026 Fast Forward artist list, and Apple Services' continued growth across Music, TV+, Arcade, and digital ID adoption. The show wraps with excitement around the return of Apple TV+'s sci-fi hit: The panel previews Monarch: Legacy of Monsters – Season 2, praising its character-driven storytelling and expanding MonsterVerse mythology.

"The Making of the John Batchelor Show" is a live-streaming "beta" experiment launched by John Batchelor on Monday, January 12, 2026. The primary objective of this specific program is to demonstrate "total transparency" by allowing the audience to see the behind-the-scenes process and technical "bumps" involved in producing the show.According to the sources, this format provides several unique insights into the show's production: Live Recording for Radio: While the stream is broadcast live, Batchelor and his guests record specific segments that are later lined up for the standard radio audience in the evening. Technical Troubleshooting: The stream captures the raw interactions between Batchelor and his producer, Chris Noel, as they manage software like StreamYard, troubleshoot audio issues with guests, and coordinate the timing of the "go live" countdown. Real-Time Coordination: The sources show Batchelor and co-host Bill Roggio managing the schedule in real-time, such as texting guests like Jonathan Seiya to arrange interview slots between other segments like "New World". A "Maiden Voyage": Batchelor describes this weekday streaming effort as a "maiden voyage" and a way to jump into the "pool" of new technology, even when they are not entirely confident in the tools. Expert Integration: The format allows for casual introductions and pre-interviews between experts, such as when Batchelor introduced David Shedd to Bill Roggio before they began a formal recorded segment on China's cyber-espionage. Throughout the broadcast, the experts used this transparent platform to analyze an "unprecedented" period of global instability. They covered a wide array of topics, including the news blackout in Iran, the "fiction" of U.S. strikes in Syria, and the shift toward center-right governments in Latin America following the removal of Nicolas Maduro.In essence, "The Making of the John Batchelor Show" functions like a "glass-walled studio," where the audience observes both the polished geopolitical analysis and the unscripted logistical efforts required to bring that analysis to the airwaves.1850 SUBURB OF TEHRAN
SHOW1-12-26"THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW""The Making of the John Batchelor Show" is a live-streaming "beta" experiment launched by John Batchelor on Monday, January 12, 2026. The primary objective of this specific program is to demonstrate "total transparency" by allowing the audience to see the behind-the-scenes process and technical "bumps" involved in producing the show.GLOBAL CHAOS AND THE EROSION OF STABILITY Colleagues Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani. The guests discuss worldwide instability, arguing that the US has abandoned its traditional role in maintaining global order. They examine conflicts in Iran, Syria, and Venezuela, suggesting US actions are often driven by whims rather than strategic planning, leading to a state of heightened chaos. NUMBER 1FICTIONS IN SYRIA AND THE RISKS OF INTERVENTION Colleagues Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani. The discussion focuses on the Syrian conflict, criticizing the US for maintaining "fictions" about local actors and security forces. Haqqani warns against military intervention in Iran, citing past failures like Vietnam and Iraq, noting that military force cannot solve misunderstood political problems. NUMBER 2CHINA'S GREAT HEIST OF AMERICAN SECRETS Colleagues David Shedd and Bill Roggio. David Sheddoutlines China's extensive cyber espionage campaigns, including "Salt Typhoon," which successfully hacked US Congressional committees. These operations aim to steal sensitive communications and embed sabotage tools within USinfrastructure, highlighting a critical failure in American defensive preparedness. NUMBER 3REGIME CHANGE AND SHIFTING POWER IN THE AMERICAS Colleagues David Shedd and Bill Roggio. Shedd details the removal of Nicolas Maduro and a regional shift toward center-right governments. This transition aims to end Russian and Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere. Furthermore, the US is demanding stricter security cooperation from Mexico to dismantle powerful drug cartels. NUMBER 4IRANIAN PROTESTS AND THE COLLAPSE OF REGIME CONTROL Colleague Malcolm Hoenlein. Protests across Iran have turned deadly, with reports of hundreds killed by live fire and hospitals refusing wounded demonstrators. Malcolm Hoenlein highlights a communication blackout and a collapsing economy where the currency has plummeted. A new minority coalition of Baluchis and Kurds is now supporting rebellion. NUMBER 5THE SHIFTING BALANCE OF FEAR IN IRAN Colleague Malcolm Hoenlein. As the regime faces potential implosion, discussions involve a return of the Shah's son as a symbolic figurehead, though no clear path to collective leadership exists. Revolutionaries are now tagging the homes of officials, signaling that the balance of fear has shifted from the people to the leadership. NUMBER 6RUSSIA'S ORESHNIK MISSILE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DETERRENCE Colleague John Hardy. Russia is utilizing the Oreshnik missile to strike Ukrainian infrastructure, leaving thousands without heat. John Hardy explains these strikes serve as psychological intimidation to deter Western nations from providing security guarantees or ground troops. Recent strikes likely targeted an aircraft repair plant, not gas storage. NUMBER 7ESCALATING CONFLICT BETWEEN SYRIAN FORCES AND KURDISH ALLIES Colleague Akmed Khari. Clashes have erupted in Aleppo between the Syrian government and the Kurdish SDF after a failed integration agreement. Akmed Khari notes the complexity of the US coordinating with Syrian security forces that remain riddled with jihadists. The conflict is expected to expand into other contested regions. Analogy: The situation in Syria is like a shaky alliance between rival firefighters who, while ostensibly trying to put out the same blaze, begin turning their hoses on each other while the fire continues to spread. NUMBER 8THE US-MANAGED TRANSITION IN POST-MADURO VENEZUELA Colleague Ernesto Araújo. John Batchelor and Ernesto Araújo discuss the US-led operation that captured Nicolas Maduro. Araújo describes the current situation as a well-managed transition where the US is navigating internal power struggles among military factions and criminal gangs rather than allowing a power vacuum to form. NUMBER 9REGIONAL SHIFTS: COLOMBIA'S DIPLOMACY AND BRAZIL'S POLITICAL FUTURE Colleague Ernesto Araújo. The discussion focuses on Gustavo Petro's pivot toward the United States and the historical concept of "Grand Colombia." In Brazil, they evaluate Lula da Silva's potential re-election bid against the enduring popularity of the imprisoned Jair Bolsonaro and the influence of new nationalist political forces. NUMBER 10REGIONAL REACTIONS TO MADURO'S CAPTURE AND THE ISOLATION OF CUBA Colleague Alejandro Peña Esclusa. Alejandro Peña Esclusa reports that Venezuelans are celebrating Maduro's capture while the Trumpadministration halts oil shipments to Cuba. He explains that regional left-wing leaders fear a trial will reveal their corrupt ties to Maduro, while the Cuban regime faces collapse without Venezuelan energy. NUMBER 11THE FOUR FAMILIES OF CARACAS AND THE END OF THE REGIME Colleague Alejandro Peña Esclusa. Esclusa analyzes the four mafias currently competing for power in Caracas: the Rodriguez siblings, Diosdado Cabello, Padrino Lopez, and Maduro's remnants. He argues that overwhelming US military force has rendered local weapons irrelevant and that the dismantling of these groups is necessary for elections. NUMBER 12ESCALATING IRANIAN PROTESTS AND POTENTIAL US INTERVENTION Colleague Edmund Fitton-Brown. Edmund Fitton-Brown describes the current Iranian protests as a movement that has shifted into a repression phase characterized by internet blackouts and rising casualties. He argues that US military force targeting repression organs could tip the balance in favor of the protesters, who are increasingly calling for a constitutional monarchy. The regime is reportedly attempting to negotiate following US strike threats. NUMBER 13THE COLLAPSE OF THE AXIS OF RESISTANCE Colleague Edmund Fitton-Brown. Fitton-Brown explains how the fall of the Iranian regime would devastate its regional proxies, including Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias, which depend on IRGC funding and training. Without Tehran's "big brother" support, these groups would likely be forced to make accommodations with local governments. He also notes Hezbollah's role as an international drug cartel. NUMBER 14THE ZOMBIE REGIME AND STRATEGIC TARGETS Colleague Jonathan Sai. Jonathan Sai labels the Islamic Republic a "zombie regime" facing an existential threat despite its brutal crackdowns. He reports that the IRGC and foreign militias are using automatic weapons against protesters in cities like Tehran and Mashhad. Sai suggests that USintervention should prioritize striking repression centers and state-run propaganda machines to dismantle the regime's control. NUMBER 15HEZBOLLAH'S SURVIVAL AND THE LOSS OF REGIONAL LIFELINES Colleague David Daoud. David Daoud characterizes Hezbollah as an ideological extension of Iran currently in survival mode as its lifelines in Syria and Venezuela weaken. While Hezbollah wants the regime to survive for power projection, Daoud suggests Iraqi militias are more likely to be physically assisting Tehran's crackdowns due to their proximity and lower combat losses compared to Hezbollah. To clarify the current state of the Iranian government, Jonathan Sai uses the metaphor of a "zombie regime": it may appear to be moving and in control, but it is functionally dead because it can no longer sustain its support base or provide basic necessities for its people.

Battlefield 6 is here, and so far, it's doing very well. The hype from the Beta has seemed to carry over to the release, but only a fool would count Call of Duty out. Both of these franchises have been around for quite some time, with each gaining a loyal fanbase. With Call of Duty dropping annually, they somehow always manage to captivate the audience and get them excited for a new release, no matter how mediocre the game is, until now.

Welcome to 2026, brother. In this foundational episode of the The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin opens a new chapter by returning to the core principles of awakening, alignment, and conscious leadership - while introducing a new format that will shape the year ahead.This episode sets the tone for what's coming next. As Kevin prepares to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, upcoming episodes will feature conversations with brothers who have completed the Tribe coach certification and graduated through the Academy. These men represent living examples of what happens when awakening stops being an abstract idea and becomes a lived, practical experience.At the heart of this episode is a reset to fundamentals. Kevin breaks down awakening not as a mystical or “woo” concept, but as a grounded, functional process for becoming more effective in life, relationships, and purpose. Awakening, as he frames it, is not about becoming something new - it's about remembering who you already are beneath conditioning.The episode introduces the Alpha/Beta framework and clarifies the Beta condition as a mental program: conditioned thought patterns shaped by upbringing, culture, biology, and repetition. This program filters reality, creating fear, doubt, and reactivity. The Alpha state, by contrast, is the observer - the one who watches the program, rewrites it when necessary, and restores proper cause-and-effect in life.Using the Model of Alignment, Kevin explains how thoughts create feelings, feelings drive actions, and actions produce results - and why separating thoughts from facts is the first and most essential step in reclaiming authority over your life. When the outer world stops being the cause of your inner world, you move from reaction to intention, from victimhood to authorship.From there, the episode expands into a deeper integration of three interwoven domains: the outer world (environment and circumstance), the inner world (thoughts and narratives), and the energetic world (your unseen blueprint). Kevin shows how mastery comes not from escaping these realms, but from integrating them - like piloting a ship with multiple control panels working in harmony.This framework is applied directly to real life, including dating and relationships. Kevin dismantles common misconceptions around attraction, confidence, and masculine presence, emphasizing that true connection begins with awareness of your own inner and energetic states - not manipulation, performance, or trying to read someone else's mind.The episode also introduces Human Design as a practical tool for understanding energetic mechanics beyond traditional psychology or astrology, while reinforcing a timeless truth: you will never fully know another person's inner world. Your work is to know your own.This is a return to the basics - but at a higher altitude. A call to clean the window, reclaim authorship, and step into 2026 grounded, awake, and aligned.Until next week, brother - elevate your Alpha.

The panel begins with breaking news that Chase will replace Goldman Sachs as the Apple Card issuer, a transition expected to take up to 24 months. The group debates potential impacts on daily cash back, high-yield savings, international availability, and whether Chase branding could alter the card's famously minimalist experience. Attention then turns to Apple Vision Pro, highlighted by the announcement of immersive LA Lakers games available to users in select regions. While excited about Apple's continued push into immersive sports, the panel addresses recent reports questioning Vision Pro sales and critiques media narratives framing the platform as a failure. The consensus: Vision Pro is still early, niche, and evolving—especially for enterprise and immersive content. On the software side, Apple's background security update testing raises interesting questions about transparency and user control, while Wi-Fi 6E performance boosts arrive quietly for newer Macs and iPads. Apple Music also gets some love, with new playlist folders, pinned music, and lock-screen animations, plus deeper discussion on whether Apple Music is now compelling enough to replace Spotify for some users. The episode also touches on a Logitech mouse certificate expiration that temporarily broke advanced features, reinforcing concerns about cloud-dependent hardware. From CES 2026, the team highlights smart bird feeders, AI-powered TVs, and a massive 52-inch 6K Dell display, sparking debate about longevity, privacy, and the growing creep of "always-connected" devices. Finally, the panel explores AI integrations in Gmail and Apple Music, including ChatGPT-powered playlist creation.

In this hard-hitting episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing breaks down 3 advanced frame control mind hacks that instantly separate beta men from real leaders in dating, attraction, and life. Frame control isn't a trick, it's the backbone of masculine presence, and most men destroy attraction without even realizing it by reacting emotionally, explaining themselves, or engaging with the wrong frames. In this episode, Mark shows you how high-value men maintain control by choosing what they engage with and what they ignore, using refusal to engage, strategic ignoring, and no response to shut down tests, flip power dynamics, and build attraction without chasing or qualifying themselves. Key Takeaways: - Why frame control is the foundation of attraction. - How refusing to engage instantly raises your perceived value. - Why ignoring attraction-killing tests builds more desire than responding. - How no response over text flips the power dynamic in your favor. Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] – Episode intro and preview [00:00:34] – 2026 message [00:01:48] – Why frame control is everything [00:06:22] – Refuse to engage (RTE) [00:12:10] – Ignore to control the frame (ITC) [00:19:52] – No response (NR) over text [00:22:32] – Advanced texting mind hack [00:26:12] – Episode Outro Connect With Mark: Apply for Mark's 3-Month Coaching Program: https://coachmarksing.com/coaching/ Check Out The Perks Program: https://coachmarksing.com/perks/ Email: CoachMarkSing@Gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachmarksing/ Grab Mark's Free Program: The Approach Formula - https://www.CoachMarkSing.com/The-Approach-Formula About The Unapologetic Man Podcast The Unapologetic Man Podcast is your resource for mastering dating, attraction, and relationships from a confident, masculine perspective.

Topics covered in this episode: ty: An extremely fast Python type checker and LSP Python Supply Chain Security Made Easy typing_extensions MI6 chief: We'll be as fluent in Python as we are in Russian Extras Joke Watch on YouTube About the show Connect with the hosts Michael: @mkennedy@fosstodon.org / @mkennedy.codes (bsky) Brian: @brianokken@fosstodon.org / @brianokken.bsky.social Show: @pythonbytes@fosstodon.org / @pythonbytes.fm (bsky) Join us on YouTube at pythonbytes.fm/live to be part of the audience. Usually Monday at 10am PT. Older video versions available there too. Finally, if you want an artisanal, hand-crafted digest of every week of the show notes in email form? Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: ty: An extremely fast Python type checker and LSP Charlie Marsh announced the Beta release of ty on Dec 16 “designed as an alternative to tools like mypy, Pyright, and Pylance.” Extremely fast even from first run Successive runs are incremental, only rerunning necessary computations as a user edits a file or function. This allows live updates. Includes nice visual diagnostics much like color enhanced tracebacks Extensive configuration control Nice for if you want to gradually fix warnings from ty for a project Also released a nice VSCode (or Cursor) extension Check the docs. There are lots of features. Also a note about disabling the default language server (or disabling ty's language server) so you don't have 2 running Michael #2: Python Supply Chain Security Made Easy We know about supply chain security issues, but what can you do? Typosquatting (not great) Github/PyPI account take-overs (very bad) Enter pip-audit. Run it in two ways: Against your installed dependencies in current venv As a proper unit test (so when running pytest or CI/CD). Let others find out first, wait a week on all dependency updates: uv pip compile requirements.piptools --upgrade --output-file requirements.txt --exclude-newer "1 week" Follow up article: DevOps Python Supply Chain Security Create a dedicated Docker image for testing dependencies with pip-audit in isolation before installing them into your venv. Run pip-compile / uv lock --upgrade to generate the new lock file Test in a ephemeral pip-audit optimized Docker container Only then if things pass, uv pip install / uv sync Add a dedicated Docker image build step that fails the docker build step if a vulnerable package is found. Brian #3: typing_extensions Kind of a followup on the deprecation warning topic we were talking about in December. prioinv on Mastodon notified us that the project typing-extensions includes it as part of the backport set. The warnings.deprecated decorator is new to Python 3.13, but with typing-extensions, you can use it in previous versions. But typing_extesions is way cooler than just that. The module serves 2 purposes: Enable use of new type system features on older Python versions. Enable experimentation with type system features proposed in new PEPs before they are accepted and added to the typing module. So cool. There's a lot of features here. I'm hoping it allows someone to use the latest typing syntax across multiple Python versions. I'm “tentatively” excited. But I'm bracing for someone to tell me why it's not a silver bullet. Michael #4: MI6 chief: We'll be as fluent in Python as we are in Russian "Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum computing are not only revolutionizing economies but rewriting the reality of conflict, as they 'converge' to create science fiction-like tools,” said new MI6 chief Blaise Metreweli. She focused mainly on threats from Russia, the country is "testing us in the grey zone with tactics that are just below the threshold of war.” This demands what she called "mastery of technology" across the service, with officers required to become "as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple other languages." Recruitment will target linguists, data scientists, engineers, and technologists alike. Extras Brian: Next chapter of Lean TDD being released today, Finding Waste in TDD Still going to attempt a Jan 31 deadline for first draft of book. That really doesn't seem like enough time, but I'm optimistic. SteamDeck is not helping me find time to write But I very much appreciate the gift from my fam Send me game suggestions on Mastodon or Bluesky. I'd love to hear what you all are playing.

I det här temaavsnittet från EVSSP pratar Liv om manosfärens singulära, sociobiologistiska teorier och hur dessa har blivit allmängods. Caroline berättar om varför ingen egentligen vill vara med en alfa.Prenumerera på: https://underproduktion.se/envargsokersinpod
¿Y si te dijera que la realidad no es continua, sino que "parpadea"? Existe una micro-grieta entre cada segundo —un intervalo de 5.39x10^-44 segundos conocido como Tiempo de Planck— donde el universo se "apaga" para recalcularse. La mayoría de la gente vive en "Bucle" porque intenta cambiar su vida cuando la realidad ya está "sólida" (congelada en materia). Eso es fuerza bruta. En este análisis de Ingeniería Inversa, dejamos atrás el pensamiento mágico para aplicar la física pura. Usando la Teoría del Péndulo de Itzhak Bentov y la mecánica del Desdoblamiento del Tiempo, te enseñaré a encontrar ese "Fallo" en el sistema: el momento exacto donde puedes infiltrarte en el código fuente y REINICIAR tu destino antes de que se proyecte en 3D. No vamos a pedir deseos. Vamos a hackear el mecanismo de proyección. ¿QUIERES LAS HERRAMIENTAS DE ACELERACIÓN? He reabierto el Reto de 7 Días con una actualización crítica. Hemos añadido dos tecnologías nuevas para asegurar tu resultado: El Audio Binaural "Vector Zeta": Diseñado para inducir ondas Theta y facilitar el acceso al intervalo.

Episode web page: https://bit.ly/3MWTjzQ Episode description: In this forward-looking episode of Insights Unlocked, Mike McDowell returns to the mic to share what's ahead for UserTesting in 2026—and it's all about speed, scale, and smarter insights. Mike and host Nathan Isaacs dive into the latest developments in AI-powered research, from automated test creation and participant feedback to enhanced report generation and seamless integrations with tools like Figma. As always, Mike brings a ton of energy and clarity to what these innovations mean not just for researchers, but for anyone trying to get closer to their customers. Whether you're a product manager, designer, or marketer, this episode will leave you inspired by what's possible when AI meets human insight. Key takeaways AI-enhanced test creation: Just type what you want to learn, and AI builds the test plan for you—making customer feedback more accessible to non-researchers than ever. New Figma plug-in: Beta users can now launch usability tests directly from Figma, without leaving the design environment. Automated insight generation: From smart analysis to video summaries and report creation, AI is speeding up the time from question to answer. Smarter screener tools: AI-powered fraud detection and screener guidance ensure better participant quality and more reliable feedback. Customer empathy at scale: Mike emphasizes the power of embedding customer videos in tools like Jira, Confluence, and Figma to build buy-in and challenge internal assumptions.
