In the Apple Silicon era, MacBooks have become more affordable than ever – with brand new models starting as low as $599. With looming global tariffs, these great deals could potentially be coming to an end soon – so if you’re in the market for a new MacBook for any reason, now may be one of the best ever times to purchase. Apple’s upcoming macOS 26 update is also dropping support for practically all Intel Macs (with some small exceptions) – so if you’d like to stay on the latest and greatest A

This post details my experiences creating software with LLM coding agents, emphasizing that what you do with AI agents is ‘creation’, not just 'coding,' and sharing what worked for me. This is not 'The One True Path To AI Success.' tl;dr: I’m not a professional developer, just a hobbyist with aspirations I wanted to accomplish a coding project beyond my skill level and have been experimenting with agentic coding tools for several months (spoiler: mostly success) You should use Anthropic’

Bluesky Goes Dark in Mississippi over Age Verification Law

People in Mississippi can no longer use the social media platform Bluesky. The company announced Friday that it will be blocking all IP addresses within Mississippi for the foreseeable future in response to a recent US Supreme Court decision that allows the state to enforce strict age verification for social media platforms.

The World Wide Web (Web) emerged as a new medium in the mid-1990s. It was invented by Tim Berners-Lee at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in 1989, but its exploding popularity was also enabled by the release of the Mosaic Web browser in 1993 and the Internet becoming commercially available in 1995.

Intel has agreed to sell the US a 10 percent stake in the company, Donald Trump announced at a news conference Friday.

Social networking startup Bluesky has made the decision to block access to its service in the state of Mississippi, rather than comply with a new age assurance law. In a blog post published on Friday, the company explains that, as a small team, it doesn’t have the resources to make the substantial technical changes this type of law would require, and it raised concerns about the law’s broad scope and privacy implications.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Messenger is one of the most popular messaging services around, especially in the US, but it has its faults. Group chats, for example, are not end-to-end encrypted by default, meaning the company that runs it — Meta — can technically read your messages. And since Meta owns it, we can assume it collects a lot of user information that’s then used for targeted ads, just like most big tech companies do.
