Trump's expected shakeup of the tech job market Bloomberg is reporting that President Trump is looking to slap a $100,000 fee on the visa popular with tech firms to access top international talent. The White House claims the visa is being used to undercut American workers and give too many high paying jobs to people from overseas. There are 85,000 of these visas available each year and many end up going to the top tech companies, but there is abuse of the system by outsourcing and staffing companies flooding the lottery with duplicate candidates. Jack Tame's desire for one Apple operating system to rule them all is a step closer Having used the latest OS 26 across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, it's clear Apple is converging the design patterns. It feels like we're now just one step away from having a single OS across all devices. On iPad, the multi-tasking is much, much more MacBook like. Meta had an absolute demo fail live on stage while showing off their AI glasses They were trying to show how their AI agent could help you while cooking —it could see the ingredients and help you step by step— but it didn't go to plan. It kept responding with things it wasn't being asked for and the poor 'content creator' paid to do the demo got flustered and blamed the WiFi. It wasn't the WiFi, but reason was kind of amusing – when the demo asked "Live AI" to do a thing, every device in the room heard it and all tried to respond at the same time. And worse, because they were all connected to the same internet, all their requests went to the same special demo server only expecting to deal with ONE device. Face palm.

In this episode of Basic AF, Tom and Jeff cover a mix of Apple news, including minor OS updates, Apple's immersive content plans for Vision Pro, and Submerged, Apple's first short film for the Vision Pro. They also touch on Jeff's new obsession—The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on the Nintendo Switch. Here's what you can expect:No Apple Ring in Sight (for Now): Jeff reacts to a report by Mark Gurman suggesting that Apple currently has no plans for a smart ring. Though it's not official, Jeff shares his disappointment, having hoped for a wearable alternative to the Apple Watch.OS Updates and Battery Issues: The hosts discuss iPadOS 18.0.1 and watchOS 11.0.1, focusing on battery performance and the quirks of living with beta software. Notably, iPadOS 18 is now available again for the iPad Pro M4 after being temporarily pulled due to issues with bricking devices.Apple Vision Pro's First Short Film: Tom dives into his experience with Submerged, the first short film for Apple's Vision Pro. He describes the immersive World War II setting, where a submarine crew faces a torpedo attack, and shares his thoughts on the stunning visual details. Tom also notes how some close-up shots felt uncomfortably realistic in the Vision Pro, almost placing him in the characters' personal space. The movement inside the sub was impressive but occasionally unsettling, with fast dolly shots that made the immersive experience intense. Despite these quirks, Tom found the film visually captivating and hints at how future VR films could push boundaries even further.Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom: Jeff gushes over his new favorite game on the Nintendo Switch, though he has no ability to remember the name of said game, therefore making up some other game that doesn't exist. (The Legend of Zelda: Heroes of the Kingdom? Sure, whatever you say, Jeff.) In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the true and actual name of the game, players take on the role of Zelda instead of Link, solving puzzles and exploring vibrant environments.New Apple Focus Features: Jeff gives a rundown on Apple's new “reduce interruptions” focus feature, explaining how it intelligently manages notifications to help reduce distractions.Question or Comment?
