The Slate electric truck starts just under $25,000, making it the cheapest new truck in the US — and it's electric.
The MacBook Neo starting price rose from $599 to $699, ending what had been one of Apple's most competitively priced products.
Snap Spectacles weigh 132–136 grams depending on size, compared to Ray-Ban Metas at ~50g and XREAL glasses at ~90g, making them too heavy for all-day wear.
The Slate truck's 65 kWh battery delivers about 205 miles of range — roughly 40 miles more than originally promised.
The Apple TV jumped from $129 to $199, one of the highest percentage increases across Apple's lineup.
iPad Air 11-inch jumped from $599 to $749, moving it into a noticeably different price bracket.
Wearing a fitness tracker on the underside of the wrist introduces noise because tendons running to the fingers cause light leak in the optical sensor.
Slate's vinyl wrap starts at $500 for materials only — installation is DIY — with premium colors reaching $1,500–$1,600.
The most powerful M3 Ultra Mac Studio with 96GB RAM and 16TB storage now costs $14,299.
Adding speakers to the Slate truck costs $150 per front channel and $250 for the center channel — totaling ~$400 for a basic stereo setup.
The Slate truck does 0–60 mph in about 8 seconds — modest on paper, but the all-electric torque makes it feel zippy in practice.
Android 16's internal code name is Baklava — the first to reset the dessert alphabet after reaching V (Vanilla Ice Cream) in Android 15.
The 2027 Porsche Taycan adds e-shift with 8 simulated gear stages and fake gear-shift sounds, part of an EV trend to mimic gas car sensations.
NVIDIA's RTX Spark Superchip packs 20 CPU cores, 6,144 GPU cores, up to 128GB unified memory, and 1 petaflop of AI compute in a laptop chip. But with zero pricing or benchmarks, and a desktop predecessor that ballooned from $3,000 to $6,300, the hosts are holding their verdict until they get units in hand.
After DIY enthusiasts started attaching traditional watches to Fitbit Air straps on social media — even getting a nod from a former Verge editor now at Google — Google officially released hardware specs for third-party accessory makers. The wearable ecosystem that the hosts predicted would emerge organically just got a formal green light.
Google is offering website owners a toggle to opt out of AI overviews — but the training data is already baked in. Like a black hole, once your content enters the model it can't be extracted. The opt-out prevents future scraping but does nothing for what's already been absorbed.
Microsoft gave employees free Claude subscriptions — and they stopped using Copilot entirely. Now Microsoft is cutting off Claude access by June 30, the end of its fiscal year. The hosts frame it simply: we've hit the moment where AI agent tokens cost more than human developers.
Microsoft's Project Solara is an agent-first OS meant to run on smart glasses, desk devices, smart badges, and more — all powered by Android under the hood. The hosts compare it to the failed Rabbit OS and question whether any of the concept hardware will ever actually ship.
Gemini's Daily Brief is transformative if you don't live in your email — surfacing shipping updates, upcoming birthdays, and context-linked reminders. If you already check everything yourself, it's just a recap of emails you already read. Your digital habits determine whether it's magic or noise.
Ellis typed 'leg' into Garmin Connect's exercise search and got nothing. He typed 'press' and got 50 million results. He typed 'leg press' and found it — but not single-leg leg press. Garmin's search logic is so broken that a legitimate, common exercise is effectively unfindable.
Google's AI assistant is useful precisely because Google knows everything about you — emails, calendar, Drive, Tasks. Apple's privacy stance means a more limited but safer data pool. As AI assistants compete head-to-head, the privacy-vs-utility trade-off has never been more tangible.
Before Google+ launched and failed, Google had already killed three social networks: Orkut (which only caught on in Brazil), Google Buzz, and Google Friend Connect. The correct trivia answer is three — and almost nobody in the room got it right.
WWDC 2026's tagline 'All systems glow' points directly at Siri — Apple's perennially delayed AI assistant. The hosts expect a revamped Siri that digs into iPhone data: contacts, calendar, iMessage, health data. Apple's privacy pitch will need explaining because this requires more on-device data access than ever before.
SpaceX absorbed XAI and Twitter onto its balance sheet, creating a company losing $4.3 billion per quarter, then convinced the NASDAQ 100 to waive its one-year seasoning rule. Within 15 days of the IPO, every 401k tracking the NASDAQ 100 automatically buys SpaceX — before the market has time to price in the losses.
Wearing an optical fitness tracker on the underside of the wrist introduces significant data noise. The tendons running through your fingers constantly break the light seal the sensor needs, causing light leak — while the top of the wrist offers stable muscle tissue for a clean reading.
Snap jammed Vision-Pro-level compute into 130-gram glasses with no tether — that's genuinely impressive. But at 130g versus Ray-Ban Meta's 50g, a 51-degree field of view, and frames so heavy Evan Spiegel's slide down his head on live TV, they're stuck in an awkward middle ground: too bulky to wear all day, not capable enough to replace a computer.
There's a spectrum from full VR headsets to ultra-light camera glasses — and companies that land in the middle are doomed. Snap is trying to pitch Spectacles as wearable everyday glasses while they look like a tiny VR headset, and no amount of clever marketing can bridge that gap.
A single person in Canada sells a $50 replacement board that fits inside a Casio F91W, adding Bluetooth, step tracking, time zone sync, RGB LED, and even blackjack. The project is small enough that the creator ships every order on Fridays — and it's already got Andrew hooked.
