I knew having a mixed-reality headset around would be a unique experience. Still, incorporating it into my daily life has also been an unexpected learning curve—and I'm not even the one using the Vision Pro. It's impossible to ignore, requires a specific type of communication, and truly impacts how my partner and I interact. I'm slowly getting used to it—growing less startled by its existence. But I'm still shocked by the fact that it's taken even the slightest amount of work to incorporate it into my life.
Apple's offer to open its tap-and-go mobile payments system to rivals is set to be approved by EU antitrust regulators as soon as next month after it tweaked some of the terms, people familiar with the matter said.

Apple was asked to tweak some of the terms following feedback from rivals and customers. The NFC proposal would be for 10 years.
‘The part where the mother and child are separated on a red mountain, in a level quite early on in the game where you have to get back to the mother and find her … I was completing the sound design and music for that in a hospital, right beside my mum when she was sleeping, recovering from open heart surgery.”
Todd Baker pauses for a second. He is recalling the development process of 2017’s Monument Valley 2, an indie puzzler, the highly anticipated follow-up to the one of the biggest success stories in mobile game history. The second game is more experimental than the first; it has more of a story, which in turn changed its feel. Whereas the first title is all optical illusions and impossible objects, the sequel moves away from MC Escher-inspired towers and spires and towards non-Euclidean geometry and brutalism.
This is because Delta supports AirPlay so that you can stream video and sound from your phone to another Apple device, like an Apple TV or computer. For Delta, this means that the game itself plays on the bigger screen while your phone becomes a touchscreen controller. Or, if you connect a Bluetooth controller to your iPhone, you can use that to play.
Fundamentally, iTerm is a mature and well-built terminal emulator full of treasures for more serious productivity on macOS. This includes great quality-of-life features for those of us who've migrated from more complex Linux setups, like full focus-follows-mouse and proper mouse reporting. It's also got nice integration with other muxers (such as tmux), dynamic profiles, and other quality of life features like a global search across tabs.
Women Who Code (WWC), a charity which supports women who work in the technology sector, has announced it is shutting down because of a lack of funding.

WWC said that "while so much has been accomplished," their mission was not complete.
It continued: "Our vision of a tech industry where diverse women and historically excluded people thrive at every level is not fulfilled."
It's the weekend. Tinkering here and there in my hobby project and tinkering here and there in my other stuff in life. But nothing significant is done; it's the continuation of the low energy state I am having the entire week, part of it in pain.
Oh, I did watch the fourth installment of The Matrix. Enjoyed the first half of the movie, didn't care about the second half.
Hope you have a better weekend than me.
