Android 10 killed the public dessert names but kept them internally. Android 15 was Vanilla Ice Cream — the last V. Android 16 reset the alphabet with Baklava. Only Marques got both the version number and the dessert correct.

Andrew and Marques dig into the growing backlash against Meta Glasses' privacy record. The camera indicator light — already widely criticized as too subtle — is now being physically removed by third parties while the camera continues recording, because the underlying wiring circuit remains intact [1] — Andrew Manganelli "People are drilling out the indicator light on Meta Glasses and the camera still works — because the wiring circuit remains intact. Joanna …" 1:17:10 . Joanna Stern found people selling this modification as a service. Meta's official response acknowledges the problem and promises updates 'really soon,' but David bluntly notes Meta only acts when facing real consequences. Marques recounts being approached at South by Southwest by someone wearing the glasses who essentially started interviewing him without waiting for consent. Venues including the Formula 1 paddock now ban smart glasses explicitly. The broader concern: as styles multiply and frames get thinner, it becomes impossible to tell which glasses are cameras.
Android 16's internal code name is Baklava — the first to reset the dessert alphabet after reaching V (Vanilla Ice Cream) in Android 15.
People are drilling out the indicator light on Meta Glasses and the camera still works — because the wiring circuit remains intact. Joanna Stern found people selling this modification as a service. Meta needs to build firmware that kills the camera if the light is tampered with.
Japanese law requires every smartphone to emit a loud shutter sound at maximum volume whenever a photo is taken, as a privacy safeguard.
Meta launched Meta Glasses — still made by Luxottica, but without the Ray-Ban license — starting at $299. Ellis immediately asked the right question: is it actually good for society that more people have these? The covert-recording problem gets worse as prices drop.
Meta's new non-Ray-Ban Meta Glasses start at $299 — $80 cheaper than the Ray-Ban Meta lineup — while still being manufactured by Luxottica.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
The fastest path to Twitter growth isn't volume — it's forming sharp opinions about how the platform works and sharing them immediately. People cluster around those who understand the rules and say so out loud.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
Sam's top advice: when prompting Cursor, tell it to architect code for 100,000 users from day one. The AI changes its approach, building scalable frameworks instead of brittle one-user code.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
