UGREEN has broken their own record for releasing the world's first 300W charger and pushed the envelope even further by launching the world's first 500W Nexode Charger. The UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger is a behemoth when it comes to capabilities and specs. The single unit can replace multiple chargers in your home or office and recharge up to 6 devices simultaneously at max speed. We have been using the 300W Nexode Chargers in our office since 2023 and they have proven both reliable and super convenient for their ability to recharge multiple devices and as they are compatible with just about every charging standard and speed, we could remove many of the different chargers we had sitting around and replaced them with one device. We have been putting the UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger to the test in the office over the past few weeks to see if it is a worthy successor to the 300W charger we reviewed previously. UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger Specs Input: 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 7.0A Max USB-C1 Output: 5.0V=3.0A/9.0V=3.0A/12.0V=3.0A/15.0V=3.0A/20.0V=5.0A/28.0V?5.0A/36.0V?5.0A/48.0V?5.0A 240.0W Max USB-C2/C3/C4/C5 Output: 5.0V=3.0A/9.0V=3.0A/12.0V=3.0A/15.0V=3.0A/20.0V=5.0A 100.0W Max USB-A Output: 5.0V=3.0A/9.0V=2.0A /12.0V=1.5A /10.0V=2.25A 22.5W Max Total Output Power: 500.0W Max 500W 6-Port (5USB-C, 1USB-A) GaN Fast Charging V-0 Rated Flame-Retardant Material Support PD3.1 protocol, single-port support up to 240W output, in addition to daily electronics charging, but also for some high-performance gaming laptops Supports fast charging with a wide range of protocols including PD3.0/2.0, QC4.0/3.0, PPS, AFC, FCP, APPLE 5V2.4A, BC1.2 Built-in 6 Gallium Nitride chips, conversion rate up to 95%.

It also makes it very straightforward for everyone in the home to use, as you no longer need a specific charger for specific devices. Just find a spare port on the Nexode, and you are all set. Conclusion UGREEN continue to make nicely designed and reliable products that solve problems in your home or office. The Nexode 500W Charger makes it simple to charge any device you may have with its wealth of compatible charging standards and power on offer. It is the first 500W charger available and may be the only one you will need to buy to power all of your devices.

¿iOS 26? ¿En serio, Apple? Mark Gurman acaba de revelar que Apple planea saltar directamente a iOS 26, abandonando la numeración tradicional por un sistema basado en años. Pero, ¿es esto realmente revolucionario o simplemente el próximo capítulo en 48 años de cambios constantes de naming? En este episodio hacemos un recorrido exhaustivo por la historia completa del naming de Apple, desde el Apple I de 1976 hasta el presente. Descubrirás por qué Apple III fue un fracaso que cambió todo, cómo System Software se convirtió en Mac OS por culpa de los clones, por qué se quedaron sin nombres de felinos, y las verdaderas razones detrás de cada cambio de estrategia. Analizamos también el caos del naming del hardware: Power Macintosh, iMac, PowerBook, MacBook, y por supuesto, la montaña rusa numerológica del iPhone que nos llevó del iPhone 8 al iPhone X saltándose el 9, para luego volver a los números con el 11, 12, 13... hasta llegar al actual iPhone 16e. ¿Es iOS 26 una evolución natural o simplemente otro experimento más en la larga historia de inconsistencias de Apple? Te damos todos los datos históricos para que seas tú quien saque las conclusiones.

A Year Just Happened in a WeekOverviewThis newsletter issue captures an extraordinary acceleration in technological innovation within an especially intense week, focusing on the broad and deep impact of AI across industries and devices. Listeners get a front-row seat to seismic shifts at major AI players—Google, Anthropic, OpenAI—and how their breakthroughs and strategic maneuvers are reshaping software, hardware, venture capital, productivity, and ethics.What makes this collection compelling is its exploration of AI's layered disruption—from Google's AI-powered reimagining of search and productivity tools, Anthropic's record-breaking AI assistant capable of deep autonomous work, to OpenAI's audacious entry into consumer hardware design with Apple's design luminary Jony Ive. The newsletter also provides reflections on startup funding trends, evolving AI workplace mandates, and foundational debates over AI's ethical architecture and future ecosystem. Together, these pieces sketch a vivid snapshot of an inflection point in AI where technology, business models, and societal stakes intertwine.Key TrendsKey Trend 1: The AI Technology Leap — From Advanced Models to New Product ParadigmsAI development is surging at unprecedented pace, not just in capability but in practical integration across applications and devices. The focus is shifting from conceptual AI to usable, extended-duration, agentic assistants deeply embedded in daily workflows and consumer products.Significance: This trend reflects AI moving beyond isolated bursts of insight or simple chat interfaces to sustained, autonomous collaboration with users, spanning complex reasoning, coding, multi-modal inputs, and tool integrations. This lays the foundation for redefining productivity, creativity, and user experience in the AI era.Key Trend 2: Strategic Hardware Plays and the Battle Beyond SoftwareOpenAI's multi-billion-dollar acquisition of Jony Ive's startup signals a strategic pivot into hardware—building new AI companion devices designed to transcend conventional screens and possibly displace smartphones. At the same time, Google pushes integrated AI experiences centered on search and productivity on existing platforms.Significance: This trend shifts AI competition into physical devices and operating environments, creating new battlegrounds involving design innovation and consumer ownership models, with potentially profound effects on user habits and ecosystem dynamics.Key Trend 3: Venture Capital Evolution in the AI and Tech LandscapeFunding trends reveal concentrated capital flows into AI, with Series B rounds showing volatility but an overarching pivot toward efficiency, profitability, and selective aggressive capital deployment. Seed investing scales with new playbooks supporting early founder engagement and dynamic portfolio strategies.Significance: This trend highlights the ongoing maturation and transformation of venture capital amid AI's rise, balancing risk, returns, and market realities, while exploring creative financing strategies crossing over traditional VC and private equity models.Key Trend 4: Workplace Transformation and AI-Driven ExpectationsLeading companies mandate widespread AI adoption to boost productivity, heighten efficiency, and reshape employee roles. Executives issue candid warnings on AI's impact on jobs while simultaneously emphasizing the opportunity to master AI tools or face obsolescence.Significance: This trend underscores the sociological and managerial upheaval driven by AI in the workforce, where adoption is non-negotiable and where AI influences morale, workflows, and corporate culture at a fundamental level.Key Trend 5: Calls for an Open, Protocol-Based AI Ecosystem vs. Concentration of PowerThere is growing advocacy for “an architecture of participation”—a decentralized, interoperable AI ecosystem fueled by open protocols and multi-agent cooperation—to avoid premature monopolization by dominant platforms. Yet, industry maneuvers reveal increasingly concentrated power among a few mega players.Significance: This sets the stage for an ideological and practical contest over the future of AI infrastructure: will it foster broad innovation and cooperation or become locked under monopolistic control? The ultimate shape of AI's ecosystem has huge technological, economic, and ethical implications.Talking Points for Each TrendTrend 1: The AI Technology LeapTalking Point 1: Anthropic's Claude Opus 4 demonstrated sustained 7-hour autonomous coding and set new benchmarks (72.5% on SWE-Bench), reflecting AI's step from quick interactions to deep, continuous collaboration.> “Anthropic is reshaping the landscape... pushing the boundaries of what machines can achieve in creative and technical collaboration over sustained periods.” (VentureBeat)Talking Point 2: Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro introduces ‘Deep Think' mode for complex multi-hypothesis reasoning, advancing AI's understanding and problem-solving in dynamic environments.> “Gemini 2.5 Pro... features an enhanced reasoning mode called 'Deep Think', evaluating multiple possible answers before responding.” (VentureBeat)Trend 2: Strategic Hardware PlaysTalking Point 1: OpenAI's acquisition of Jony Ive's startup io ($6.5B) marks their largest deal, signaling a major move into “physical AI embodiments” with devices aiming to reduce screen dependence and potentially challenge Apple's dominance.> “They are working on a new device... fully aware of a user's surroundings... designed as a third core device alongside MacBook and iPhone.” (Reuters)Talking Point 2: Google, while heavily AI-centric, remains focused on embedding AI in software and services (Search, NotebookLM mobile, AI Overviews), reinforcing software ecosystems but facing competition on the device front.> “Google launched AI Mode... a 'total reimagining of search'... while rolling out NotebookLM mobile for on-the-go AI productivity.” (FT.com)Trend 3: Venture Capital EvolutionTalking Point 1: AI has grabbed roughly one-third of global venture capital ($100B+ in 2024), showing AI's outsized role in funding flows amid overall tightening of Series B round sizes.> “AI sector dominated global venture funding, doubling from $55.6 billion to over $100 billion in 2024.” (vccafe.com)Talking Point 2: Seed-stage investing is scaling with firms like BoxGroup emphasizing early believer status and collaborative partnerships to back startups through various growth phases.> “BoxGroup makes 40 seed investments annually... focuses on supporting founders without dominating ownership or boards.” (TwentyMinuteVC)Trend 4: Workplace TransformationTalking Point 1: Shopify's CEO Tobi Lutke mandates AI proficiency, linking job security to AI adoption and productivity boosts, signaling new workplace norms amid AI anxiety.> “Before asking more headcount... teams must demonstrate why tasks can't be done via AI.” (NYMag)Talking Point 2: Fiverr's CEO issued stark warnings about AI threat to jobs, urging employees to master AI tools or risk professional irrelevance.> “AI is coming for your jobs... You are expected to do more, faster, and better. If you don't, your value will decrease.” (NYMag)Trend 5: Open Ecosystem vs Concentration of PowerTalking Point 1: Tim O'Reilly and others advocate for protocol-based AI ecosystems (Anthropic's MCP, Google's A2A, Microsoft's NLWeb) fostering interoperability and distributed innovation, echoing open Internet ideals.> “Participatory markets are innovative markets... solutions can come from everywhere, not just from a dominant monopolist.” (O'Reilly)Talking Point 2: Despite open ideals, dominant players like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are actively building controlling ecosystems and platforms—OpenAI's language of “operating system” and multi-billion-dollar acquisitions hint at winner-takes-most dynamics.> “It's hard not to feel we are witnessing aggressive maneuvers... pursuing a winner-takes-most opportunity.” (Newsletter Editorial)Discussion QuestionsHow will the shift from AI as a tool to AI as an autonomous collaborator change the nature of work and productivity across sectors?What are the implications of OpenAI entering the hardware space with design leadership from Jony Ive? Can this challenge entrenched tech giants like Apple and Google?Considering venture capital trends, how might the concentration of funding in AI affect startup diversity and innovation outside the AI sector?Are the workplace mandates for AI adoption sustainable, or do they risk damaging employee morale and creativity? How should companies balance AI integration with human factors?What are the pros and cons of pursuing an open AI ecosystem based on cooperative protocols versus the reality of platform dominance by a few major players?To what extent could OpenAI's and Google's competition reflect the longstanding tech ecosystem rivalry between integrated and modular approaches, and what does that mean for consumers?With OpenAI aggressively building an ecosystem and platform, how might regulators or policymakers respond to ensure competitive, ethical AI development?Closing SegmentThis week crystallized a pivotal inflection point—a "Great Leap Forward" in AI's maturity and reach. We've seen models like Claude Opus 4 and Google's Gemini 2.5 evolve into sophisticated, sustained collaborators capable of seamlessly integrating into human workflows and devices. At the same time, strategic moves—especially OpenAI's multi-billion-dollar hardware acquisition—signal a new battleground beyond software into hardware innovation and consumer experience design.The venture capital landscape is adapting rapidly with concentrated AI funding and evolving seed strategies spotlighting early founder support, all while workplace cultures grapple with AI-driven mandates that challenge traditional roles and morale.Beneath these shifts lies an ideological tug-of-war over AI's future architecture—whether it will be governed as an open, participatory ecosystem enabling broad innovation or solidify under winner-takes-all platforms controlled by a few giants.As hosts close this broadcast, invite listeners to ponder: Are we witnessing the dawn of truly universal AI assistants integrated into our lives, or the birth of new digital gatekeepers? And how will individuals and organizations navigate this rapid transition to stay ahead in an AI-powered future?What's clear is this: the year truly just happened, compressed within a single week, and AI stands at the stage center, shaping what comes next.Relevant Links and Sources (for producer reference)Anthropic Claude 4 & Opus 4 Coding MilestoneGoogle Gemini 2.5 Pro and AI Mode DetailsOpenAI Acquisition of Jony Ive's ioOpenAI's Leadership and Profitability FocusVenture Capital and AI Investment TrendsAI Workplace Mandates at Shopify and FiverrTim O'Reilly on Architecture of ParticipationGoogle I/O 2025 Summary and AI Product StrategyEnd of Show Notes This is a public episode.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaAdam Miezio“When Psychedelics Go Public”Imagine Alan Watts took three hits of LSD, cracked open his MacBook, and started writing copy for a biotech startup—except he didn't forget the Upanishads, or the sacred. That's the frequency we're tuning into today.I'm George Monty, and this is the place where the symbolic goes strategic, where the mystical puts on a clean shirt and walks into the boardroom—but doesn't bow.My guest is Adam Miezio—a rare mind at the crossroads of content and consciousness. He's written for medicine carriers and molecule makers, shaped language around trauma, healing, psychedelics, and transformation. But don't mistake him for a marketer. Adam is something else—a translator between the digital world and the ineffable.In this episode, we're not asking how to “scale” or “optimize.”We're asking what happens when the sacred enters the system.When ayahuasca meets analytics.When a keyword becomes a prayer.This isn't a campaign.

In this episode, Siddarth walks you through the process of checking your MacBook's battery capacity—an indicator of how well the battery retains a charge compared to when it was new. He also explains how to determine the cycle count, which tracks the number of times the battery has been completely drained and recharged.Battery capacity can be viewed by going to System Settings > Battery and clicking the "Show detail" button. Cycle count can be viewed by opening System Information (located in the Utilities folder), selecting "power" in the table, and pressing VO-J to jump to the information pane.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.[00:00.05] You're listening to an AppleVis podcast.

It might be 100% or 95% or 90%.[00:00.39] Depending on your usage. But how to find the battery cycle count or how many times we have charged our battery? For that, in this demonstration I'll be showing you how we can find it and how we can understand the overall battery details. So first, I'll show you what we can get in the settings battery of Mac. So I'm on my MacBook...[00:01.08] ...desktop. I'll open my settings with VO-M (system settings) and I will navigate here to the battery with VO-Right Arrow (battery) and I'll interact here.[00:01.35] Alright, my current battery level is 59%. I just navigate here by VO-Right. Sorry, I'll interact here. My Low Power Mode is set to only on battery. I don't need the Low Power Mode activated when I'm connected to my charger.[00:01.54] Okay, Battery Health. And if I right arrow again with VO-Right – Normal – Show Detail – right, I'll hit VO-Space. So it's great that even after one and a half month – sorry, one and a half year – of my Mac, still the battery health is Normal. And we'll see how much percent the battery health is.[00:02.19] Right, and go... VO-Left here, to the left side of the screen. Yes, that's right. It's 100%. And I feel it's a great...[00:02.35] ...battery. I like the way battery optimizes on Mac more than the iPhone. Maximum capacity – the maximum capacity is 100% – but we can't really see the cycle count here. For that, what we have to do is, first, I'll close the settings...[00:02.53] Right. I'll open the search box again with Command-Space – Spotlight. Spotlight Search. Alright, here I will type "System Information". If I just type “System” I get the filtered it here – S-Y-S-T-E-M – some information – space – I just type I-N-F...[00:03.15] ...it will be already taken, so just hit Enter here. Excellent. So here, you can get all the details regarding your hardware, your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio devices, whatever.[00:03.31] Now, we need to find something called “Power.” And I'll interact here. I interacted with the VO-Down Arrow, VO-Shift-Down Arrow. I keep going right with VO-Right. You don't need all these things. I'll just keep moving…

The show notes are at InTouchwithiOS.com This week, Dave is joined by MartyJeff, and Ben for a fun and insightful roundtable covering a wide range of Apple topics and tech trends. Ice Cream Truck Antics: The episode kicks off with some unexpected Jeff's neighborhood ice cream truck noise—setting a lighthearted tone before diving deep into tech talk.

There's a lively debate around whether these problems stem from design flaws or user errors.

Beta Releases: The crew shares hands-on impressions of iOS 18.5 Beta 3 and macOS updates.

Apple Watch 10th Anniversary: The group reflects on a decade of Apple Watch innovation—from its humble beginnings to its now-critical health monitoring features. Personal stories are shared about how the Watch has impacted daily routines, exercise, and even life-saving health alerts. Health Features Deep Dive: In a special segment, they explore Apple Watch health capabilities like heart monitoring, fall detection, ECG, and sleep tracking—highlighting its role as an essential health companion. Streaming Service Challenges: A spirited discussion about the increasingly complex streaming landscape follows, especially the changes to YouTube TV's interface. The group debates the merits and frustrations of subscription models and interface design.
