For all its naysayers Gutenberg is a game changer for digital news apps. Its a force multiplier for your team. We've spent the last 3 years going "all in" on block development. Here's a little thread of what's possible with the right investment into Gutenberg

NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art
When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents
My story...

Another car app. Good god @microsoft what happened to your ability to execute.
Our team has updated the @Ford app to work with Apple iPhone Duo. Looks great! especially the open view. If you have the Duo, update the app and let me know what you think.

Kinda wild that apple has Keynote/Pages/Numbers via MCP before Microsoft has it in Office
"EA executives cannot fail, only be failed"
Current and former EA employees about corporate greed and mismanagment.
-EA does not disclose who exactly has been cut
-Morale is terrible
-Suites pushing for gen Ai
-Dumb decision like a new expensive office
-"EA executives cannot fail, only be failed"

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME:
A routine dental cleaning and exam costs $250.
My dental insurance premium is $45 a month, which is $540 a year. The catch? The plan has a $100 deductible and only covers 80% of routine cleanings.
So for a $250 visit, insurance pays $120, and I still owe $130 out of pocket.
Add my annual premiums and I'm paying $670 a year for a service that costs $500 without insurance.
I am literally paying an extra $170 a year for the privilege of using a discount card that pretends to be health coverage.

Keynote is getting a JSON-based interchange format. A nice nerdy touch for developers and agent automation.

All these car apps getting proper Duo support but Excel still sitting there un-updated. In the year 2026, the beginning of the Opus Epoch, there is 0 reason to not have your UI ready on day 1, 0 reason. Microsoft is about to lay off thousands - maybe instead it should ask what's preventing them from competence with the current staff load that they have?

President Trump's planned 250-foot-tall arch would cast shadows on many graves and monuments in nearby Arlington National Cemetery, the @washingtonpost's 3-D analysis found.
On some days, Trump's arch would even shade the grave and eternal flame of JFK.

"University researchers built a satellite that tracks people from low Earth orbit and dispatches a 5 kg payload to within .1 meter of their position, traveling at Mach 25 to anywhere on Earth in under 5 minutes. They suggest it could be used to deliver greeting cards."
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.
