Personal news! Many of you know from my time as a freelancer, and starting next week I’ll be moving back to freelancing!

Had a lot of fun trying out different vibe-coding skills and giving making stuff without much coding experience a shot. Definitely see it as the future for 99% of software development. https://t.co/H7LzjPJg0Y #coding #vibecoding #AI

Pretty hopeful we'll get some real competition to Apple's M-series chips with the new Snapdragon chips! #qualcomm #snapdragonx2 #snapdragonx2elite #arm https://t.co/oYEUw6DzLl

I don’t know how to combat this except to get off @Cision database which I’m working on. I’m a tech reporter. I don’t know who changed my Cision profile to say that I cover general “retailing,” but I don’t. Tech pitches only please.

Hey folks! Looking to pick up some extra #freelance work over the next few months. I’m an expert in all areas of consumer tech. Let me know if you’re looking for a writer, or have any leads!

Leaks and rumors from @oneplus and @madebygoogle, cool new phones, hot earbuds from @Sony, and crazy #EVs... Listen to @CdeLooper and me on episode 334 of my #MobTechCast to hear about these topics and more! And don't forget to share and subscribe :) https://t.co/OZ2hLGm42V

I’m in Threads and while it’s not perfect I’ll likely be posting more there than here. Follow me, if you dare. https://t.co/8vQuMfbJit

A reminder to companies to please not send unsolicited stuff to my house. Or, to my old house, where I no longer live.

Generally, it’s one of my favorite foldable so far. Only a few hours into using it though!

Initial Google Pixel Fold reactions: - I love the passport-style foldable from-factor - There are some software tweaks that I don’t love. I wish the Home Screen just spread out the app icons instead of using two screens worth. - Build feels MOSTLY strong.

Very curious to see how and if #InstagramThreads ends up becoming the defacto Twitter replacement. No mention of #ActivityPub in the listing, who knows if that rumor will turn out to be true. https://t.co/rG0yKIKDkv

I’m pretty excited about the #VolvoEX30! Here’s what you need to know about the #car.

Thaaats pretty much all there is to the EV charging standard wars in the U.S. Here’s what you need to know:

Met the legend @TommyWiseau himself!

Guess he wasn’t done playing.

Maybe the end of the conversation in the U.S.? Hard to imagine others not following now… https://t.co/qLBXTmLHNQ

I’ve never used my standing desk so much.

It did this with the Apple Watch, and while not an entirely new platform, it also did so with Apple Silicon. I’m not doubting we’ll see the headset, or some details about it, but if more than a developer kit is available to the public before September, I’ll be shocked.

I think there’s zero chance that we’ll actually be able to buy a VR headset from Apple before the end of the year. Apple has a history of launching new platforms months before selling devices that actually make use of those platforms. #WWDC23

Solid reminder suggestion from Siri here.

They’ll be available on May 23 as subscriptions, which is a little annoying. They’ll each cost $4.99 per month or $49 per year. Doesn’t seem like those who already bought the apps for Mac will get any special access.
