Google heeft de grootste update van besturingssysteem Android in jaren aangekondigd met versie 16. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Android is het meest gebruikte besturingssysteem ter wereld en zit bijvoorbeeld in smartphones van Samsung, Oppo, Xiaomi en de eigen Pixel-smartphones. Het besturingssysteem en apps van Google, zoals Gmail, krijgen een nieuw ontwerp. Onder meer de vormen en kleuren worden aangepast, de letters worden groter en animaties trekken meer de aandacht. Daarmee lijkt Google vooral een jongere doelgroep te willen bereiken, want over het algemeen gebruiken die liever een iPhone. Gebruikers kunnen de update volgens Google later dit jaar downloaden. Mensen met een Pixel-telefoon kunnen dit als eerste doen. Naast smartphones geldt de update ook voor het besturingssysteem van de smarthorloges van Google. De smarthorloges krijgen met de vernieuwing ook een langere batterijduur en het AI-model Gemini. Google stopt hun AI-assistent Gemini ook in andere Google-producten, zoals Google TV en Android Auto. Verder in deze Tech Update: Een rechter heeft meerdere advocatenkantoren de oren gewassen na het foutief gebruik van AI in dossiers TikTok AI Alive is de nieuwe feature waarmee die app afbeeldingen kan omzetten in bewegende beelden met geluid See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Buona parte delle domande di questa puntata era dedicata a Claire Obscure, l'eccezionale JRPG di Sandfall Interactive che ha risvegliato l'interesse di un pubblico molto ampio. C'è stato anche spazio per parlare di PIXEL.02, fare una piccola cernita degli studi PlayStation, e chiedersi quale sarà il futuro di Xbox.

In an age where touchscreen technology dominates the mobile landscape, the return of the physical keyboard accessory for smartphones, particularly the iPhone, represents a significant shift in user experience. The recent introduction of a physical keyboard for iPhones, shown off by Jeff Gadway, the Chief Marketing Officer at Clicks, highlights the benefits of tactile input methods that many users have longed for since the advent of virtual keyboards. Gadway explains how a physical keyboard can enhance the iPhone experience by improving usability, increasing satisfaction, and providing a nostalgic touch for users who appreciate the tactile feedback of traditional typing.Improved UsabilityOne of the most compelling advantages of a physical keyboard is the enhanced usability it offers. The Clocks keyboard accessory seamlessly connects to the iPhone without requiring Bluetooth or a battery. This simplicity eliminates common frustrations associated with wireless devices, such as connectivity issues and battery life concerns. By plugging the keyboard directly into the phone, users can instantly access a full-sized keyboard experience that allows for more efficient typing, especially for tasks that require extensive text input, such as emails, messages, and social media posts.Moreover, the Click keyboard's design ensures that the virtual keyboard does not obstruct the screen, allowing users to see more of their content while typing. This increased screen real estate is particularly beneficial when engaging in activities that require multitasking or when users need to reference information while composing messages. The keyboard's ability to toggle between data modes further enhances usability, making it easy for users to switch between typing and using other accessories without the hassle of detaching components.Increased SatisfactionGadway highlights a phenomenon that many users can relate to: the satisfaction derived from typing on a physical keyboard. He describes the experience as "ASMR for your thumbs," emphasizing the auditory and tactile pleasure associated with pressing physical keys. This sensory feedback is something that virtual keyboards cannot replicate, as they lack the satisfying clicks and resistance of traditional keys. For users who have grown up with physical keyboards, the nostalgia of typing on a tactile surface can evoke positive emotions and enhance their overall experience with the device.Additionally, the Click's thoughtful design, which includes considerations for key travel, actuation pressure, and sound, indicates a commitment to user satisfaction. By addressing these details, Clicks ensures that users not only enjoy the functionality of the keyboard but also appreciate the craftsmanship behind it. This attention to detail can lead to a more fulfilling interaction with the device, transforming mundane tasks into enjoyable experiences.Nostalgia and Connection to the PastFor many users, the transition from physical to virtual keyboards has been a bittersweet journey. Scott reminisces about his fondness for physical keyboards, recalling his experiences with devices like the PPC series and Palm smartphones. This sentiment resonates with a demographic that values the connection to the past and the practicality of physical keys. The introduction of a physical keyboard for the iPhone allows users to revisit that nostalgic experience while leveraging the advanced technology of modern smartphones.Furthermore, the integration of keyboard shortcuts familiar to users of Mac and iPad devices enhances the sense of continuity across Apple products. This seamless blending of old and new not only caters to long-time Apple enthusiasts but also invites a new generation of users to explore the benefits of physical keyboards. By enabling customizable shortcuts through the Apple Shortcuts app, the keyboard accessory empowers users to personalize their experience, further solidifying the connection between the device and its user.Conclusion: The Return of a Physical Phone KeyboardThe introduction of a physical keyboard accessory for the iPhone signifies a thoughtful response to user preferences and needs in an increasingly touchscreen-dominated world. By improving usability, increasing satisfaction, and rekindling nostalgia, the physical keyboard enhances the overall iPhone experience. As technology continues to evolve, products like Clicks' keyboard remind us that sometimes, the old ways can still offer valuable lessons and benefits. For users seeking a more engaging and efficient way to interact with their devices, the return of the physical keyboard is not just a novelty; it is a welcome enhancement that bridges the gap between the past and the present.Clicks keyboards are available for a variety of phone models, including iPhone, Pixel, Razr, and Galaxy phones.

¡Un episodio cargado de energía (y no es ironía tras el apagón de la semana anterior)! Guayca y Joaquín regresan con todo en este lunes muy comentado, repasando las últimas jugadas de Apple: desde sus espectaculares resultados financieros del Q2 2025, hasta la histórica multa por prácticas monopolísticas en la App Store. También comentan el movimiento estratégico de Apple de diversificar su ensamblaje en Asia para esquivar los aranceles de EE.UU. con ahorros multimillonarios en juego. Pero eso no es todo: se ponen técnicos y divertidos con funciones reales (y prometidas) que aún no llegan. ¿Siri será por fin la asistente que merecemos con iOS 19? ¿Apple logrará integrarse de verdad en el mundo de la inteligencia artificial como Google lo está haciendo con sus Pixel?Se tocan temas como la traducción en tiempo real con AirPods, la reestructuración de la cadena de suministros de Apple, el futuro de CarPlay en coches con doble pantalla, las novedades de iOS 18.5 y hasta los desafíos de las pastillas sin identificación. ¡Todo esto acompañado de buen humor, debates geopolíticos, muchas risas y reflexiones sorprendentes!

Jon Jordan and BlockchainGamer.biz editor Jenny Jordan talk through the week's news including:[0:45] Pixels' new ecosystem-wide PIXEL staking feature is now live, supporting three games.[1:57] Pixels' daily activity has declined a lot, as has the PIXEL token price over the past year. [2:58] Pixels' vision now is to better target its rewards towards committed players.[4:30] Staking and the future vPIXEL token (June) use the Apptoken standard which gives devs more control.[7:03] You stake PIXEL into any of the supported games, which return a share of their overall rewards.[10:37] The goal is to build a platform any web3 (or web2) game could also plug into.[15:05] PC RPG MapleStory N will launch on 15th May.[16:56] This is a big IP for Nexon to release on blockchain and it's been very careful in the design.[19:58] Blockchain gaming platform Ultra announced a partnership with Vaulta (ex-EOS).[24:11] Wildcard streaming platform Thousands generated almost $78,000 from one 2-hour stream.[29:15] To-date the platform has a payer conversation rate of 51% and ARPV (per viewer) of $109.[35.27] Nintendo appears to have integrated web3 tech into the mobile version of Pokemon Home. [40:55] Epic Games Store will now let devs - including of blockchain game - earn $1M of IAP without fee.[45:25] This could be important for experienced mobile devs like Mythical and Limit Break.

Jon Jordan talks to Pixels CEO Luke Barwikowski about the game's forthcoming adoption of the new Apptokens standard, which as well as seeing the launch of the spend/stake-only vPIXEL token, will also herald a new staking model, which will use the token to boost marketing for Pixels and its partner games.[4:42] Games like Axie and Pixels have been massive successes. We need to make them sustainable.[5:25] Some of the issues for web3 games are just gaming issues. Web2 games are not doing well.[7:50] DAUs is not the primary metric for Pixels. It's secondary compared to net revenue.[9:00] We thought we could convert DAUs into paying users. We can but the rate is very low.[11:45] In particularly, it's hard to convert paying users into net paying users.[13:53] We're doing a lot of work to figure out who are the right users to give incentives to.[18:20] The three elements that are required to make a great web3 game. [19:10] Explaining how ERC721C enforced NFT royalties aligns incentives for devs and NFT traders.[20:50] Apptokens (ERC20C) do something similar for fungible tokens. [21:38] A lot of the players we give PIXEL tokens to just sell them - this is misalignment.[21:50] Apptokens allows us to give more tokens to players who spend them in-game. [22:25] We're doing this with our new vPIXEL token, which can only be staked or spent, not sold. [23:48] We want to preference players who use the PIXEL tokens through its tokenomics.[27:36] This is going to be the industry-standard soon. [28:41] The new staking system embraces all the games published in the Pixels ecosystem.[28:50] This sees 28 million PIXEL distributed monthly via these games, giving rewards to stakers.[33:17] This won't be limited to Ronin games, although the staking contracts will be on Ronin.[34:47] How the core Pixels game will fit into this new multi-game PIXEL token ecosystem.[36:35] Pixels is launching a mobile-first Tamagotchi-style pet app in June/July.[38:27] Players who want to convert vPIXEL to PIXEL will pay a c.50% withdrawal fee.[40:47] It doesn't matter how web3 a game is. What matters is whether it works.[42:30] Pixels has given out over $100 million of rewards in terms of PIXEL tokens.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, sat down once again with Aaron Lowry for our third conversation, and it might be the most expansive yet. We touched on the cultural undercurrents of transhumanism, the fragile trust structures behind AI and digital infrastructure, and the potential of 3D printing with metals and geopolymers as a material path forward. Aaron shared insights from his hands-on restoration work, our shared fascination with Amish tech discernment, and how course-correcting digital dependencies can restore sovereignty. We also explored what it means to design for long-term human flourishing in a world dominated by misaligned incentives. For those interested in following Aaron's work, he's most active on Twitter at @Aaron_Lowry.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 – Stewart welcomes Aaron Lowry back for his third appearance. They open with reflections on cultural shifts post-COVID, the breakdown of trust in institutions, and a growing societal impulse toward individual sovereignty, free speech, and transparency.05:00 – The conversation moves into the changing political landscape, specifically how narratives around COVID, Trump, and transhumanism have shifted. Aaron introduces the idea that historical events are often misunderstood due to our tendency to segment time, referencing Dan Carlin's quote, “everything begins in the middle of something else.”10:00 – They discuss how people experience politics differently now due to the Internet's global discourse, and how Aaron avoids narrow political binaries in favor of structural and temporal nuance. They explore identity politics, the crumbling of party lines, and the erosion of traditional social anchors.15:00 – Shifting gears to technology, Aaron shares updates on 3D printing, especially the growing maturity of metal printing and geopolymers. He highlights how these innovations are transforming fields like automotive racing and aerospace, allowing for precise, heat-resistant, custom parts.20:00 – The focus turns to mechanical literacy and the contrast between abstract digital work and embodied craftsmanship. Stewart shares his current tension between abstract software projects (like automating podcast workflows with AI) and his curiosity about the Amish and Mennonite approach to technology.25:00 – Aaron introduces the idea of a cultural “core of integrated techne”—technologies that have been refined over time and aligned with human flourishing. He places Amish discernment on a spectrum between Luddite rejection and transhumanist acceleration, emphasizing the value of deliberate integration.30:00 – The discussion moves to AI again, particularly the concept of building local, private language models that can persistently learn about and serve their user without third-party oversight. Aaron outlines the need for trust, security, and stateful memory to make this vision work.35:00 – Stewart expresses frustration with the dominance of companies like Google and Facebook, and how owning the Jarvis-like personal assistant experience is critical. Aaron recommends options like GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 and reflects on the difficulty of securing hardware at the chip level.40:00 – They explore software development and the problem of hidden dependencies. Aaron explains how digital systems rest on fragile, often invisible material infrastructure and how that fragility is echoed in the complexity of modern software stacks.45:00 – The concept of “always be reducing dependencies” is expanded. Aaron suggests the real goal is to reduce untrustworthy dependencies and recognize which are worth cultivating. Trust becomes the key variable in any resilient system, digital or material.50:00 – The final portion dives into incentives. They critique capitalism's tendency to exploit value rather than build aligned systems. Aaron distinguishes rivalrous games from infinite games and suggests the future depends on building systems that are anti-rivalrous—where ideas compete, not people.55:00 – They wrap up with reflections on course correction, spiritual orientation, and cultural reintegration. Stewart suggests titling the episode around infinite games, and Aaron shares where listeners can find him online.Key InsightsTranshumanism vs. Techne Integration: Aaron frames the modern moment as a tension between transhumanist enthusiasm and a more grounded relationship to technology, rooted in "techne"—practical wisdom accumulated over time. Rather than rejecting all new developments, he argues for a continuous course correction that aligns emerging technologies with deep human values like truth, goodness, and beauty. The Amish and Mennonite model of communal tech discernment stands out as a countercultural but wise approach—judging tools by their long-term effects on community, rather than novelty or entertainment.3D Printing as a Material Frontier: While most of the 3D printing world continues to refine filaments and plastic-based systems, Aaron highlights a more exciting trajectory in printed metals and geopolymers. These technologies are maturing rapidly and finding serious application in domains like Formula One, aerospace, and architectural experimentation. His conversations with others pursuing geopolymer 3D printing underscore a resurgence of interest in materially grounded innovation, not just digital abstraction.Digital Infrastructure is Physical: Aaron emphasizes a point often overlooked: that all digital systems rest on physical infrastructure—power grids, servers, cables, switches. These systems are often fragile and loaded with hidden dependencies. Recognizing the material base of digital life brings a greater sense of responsibility and stewardship, rather than treating the internet as some abstract, weightless realm. This shift in awareness invites a more embodied and ecological relationship with our tools.Local AI as a Trustworthy Companion: There's a compelling vision of a Jarvis-like local AI assistant that is fully private, secure, and persistent. For this to function, it must be disconnected from untrustworthy third-party cloud systems and trained on a personal, context-rich dataset. Aaron sees this as a path toward deeper digital agency: if we want machines that truly serve us, they need to know us intimately—but only in systems we control. Privacy, persistent memory, and alignment to personal values become the bedrock of such a system.Dependencies Shape Power and Trust: A recurring theme is the idea that every system—digital, mechanical, social—relies on a web of dependencies. Many of these are invisible until they fail. Aaron's mantra, “always be reducing dependencies,” isn't about total self-sufficiency but about cultivating trustworthy dependencies. The goal isn't zero dependence, which is impossible, but discerning which relationships are resilient, personal, and aligned with your values versus those that are extractive or opaque.Incentives Must Be Aligned with the Good: A core critique is that most digital services today—especially those driven by advertising—are fundamentally misaligned with human flourishing. They monetize attention and personal data, often steering users toward addiction or ...
