Apple’s M5 chip could continue an unexpected new trend: report

Apple silicon debuted in 2020 with the first M-class chip, the M1, which launched in MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini. But last year, Apple made a big product shift when it launched the M4, and per a new report, that trend looks set to continue with the upcoming M5 chip. M5 MacBook Pro may be delayed until early 2026 Yesterday Mark Gurman published an overview of new Apple products in the works for early 2026 release. One of the big surprises from the report involves the M5 MacBook Pro.

CISA tags Citrix Bleed 2 as exploited, gives agencies a day to patch

The U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency has confirmed active exploitation of the CitrixBleed 2 vulnerability (CVE-2025-5777) in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway and is giving federal agencies one day to apply fixes. Such a short deadline for installing the patches is unprecedented since CISA released the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, showing the severity of the attacks exploiting the security issue. The agency added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabiliti

At Amazon's biggest data center, everything is supersized for AI

A year ago, a 1,200-acre stretch of farmland outside New Carlisle, Ind., was an empty cornfield. Now, seven Amazon data centers rise up from the rich soil, each larger than a football stadium. Over the next several years, Amazon plans to build around 30 data centers at the site, packed with hundreds of thousands of specialized computer chips. With hundreds of thousands of miles of fiber connecting every chip and computer together, the entire complex will form one giant machine intended just for

Some arguments against a land value tax (2024)

To many people, the land value tax (LVT) has earned the reputation of being the "perfect tax." In theory, it achieves a rare trifecta: generating government revenue without causing deadweight loss, incentivizing the productive development of land by discouraging unproductive speculation, and disproportionately taxing the wealthy, who tend to own the most valuable land. That said, I personally think the land value tax is overrated. While I'm not entirely against it—and I think that several of th

Overtourism in Japan, and how it hurts small businesses

Ridgeline subscribers — I’m Craig Mod and I’ve been buuuuuuurnt out this last month following my epic Things Become Other Things mega book tour. Finally, I’m gingerly emerging from my recovery cave. (But reserve the right to retreat again.) Here’s a fresh dispatch — in praise of small businesses and why overtourism can be anathema to them.

Now That Intel’s Cooked, Apple Doesn’t Need to Release New MacBooks Every Year

Covering tech news, you sometimes feel like the million-mile-per-hour footrace of Silicon Valley will inevitably result in a Wile E. Coyote-style calamity. There’s a part of me that craves a little more sincerity and willingness for self-reflection. When we actually receive it, the result is a little more cringe-worthy. Intel’s new boss, Lip-Bu Tan, reportedly told staff the company was—effectively—cooked. That doesn’t sound great, but for one of Intel’s once-biggest partners, Apple, it may be a

New M4 Vision Pro gives me hope that the most needed fix is coming

A new M4 Vision Pro is reportedly launching later this year, and even though not a lot sounds like it’s changing, I’m cautiously hopeful that the most needed fix might be on the way. New Vision Pro will have M4 chip and all-new strap When Vision Pro first launched in February 2024, I was initially a holdout. The device fascinated me, but I couldn’t justify the price. Eventually I gave in, buying a Vision Pro last December. But ever since then, the weight and existing strap options have been a

Things I learned from 5 years at Vercel

5 things I learned from 5 years at Vercel july 2025 – lee robinson After five years at Vercel, I just finished my last week. What a ride! When I joined in 2020, we were 30 people and had crossed $1M ARR. Today, Vercel is 650 people and over $200M ARR. During that time, I went from IC to VP and worked on DevRel, product, community, docs, and more.

Why Buy Flagship Phones if 'Budget' Phones Are Just as Good Now?

The concept of a budget-friendly phone lost its meaning this week when Samsung announced its new Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE costs an eye-watering $900. It's similar in looks and ability to its premium-model sister phone, and it even has the same cameras. Earlier this year, Apple released its more budget-friendly iPhone 16E, which also got jeers for an higher-than-expected price of $600. It carries the same processor as the main iPhone 16, but lacks one rear camera. The cost of phones is expected to co

The first babies have been born following “simplified” IVF in a mobile lab

While IVF is increasingly commonplace in wealthy countries—around 12% of all births in Spain result from such procedures—it remains expensive and isn’t always covered by insurance or national health providers. And it’s even less accessible in low-income countries—especially for people who live in rural areas. People often assume that countries with high birth rates don’t need access to fertility treatments, says Gerhard Boshoff, an embryologist at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. Sub

Amazon Prime Day Live: We're Dropping Deals Every 15 Minutes

Are you a coffee paste person? You might be! Several people are—mostly ultralight backpackers. I am not. Or at least I don't think I am based on three cups made with this Swiss startup's unique product. The only flavor is bitterness, and it turns a weird grey color with a splash of milk. But then again, I have so far only tested it in my kitchen against a delicious AeroPress cup and not in the wild after carrying its 5 ounces for 15 miles up and down hills.

Apple, Mastercard and Visa's antitrust lawsuit over payments has been dismissed

Apple, Mastercard and Visa have successfully dodged a lawsuit that claimed the companies were colluding to maintain the current status quo in point-of-sale-payment card services, Reuters reports. The original 2023 lawsuit filed by beverage retailer Mirage Wine and Spirits alleged that Apple was essentially accepting bribes to not develop its open payment network or open up the iPhone's NFC-based "tap to pay" functionality to competitors. The judge on the case ultimately dismissed it over a lack
