I could watch an opening video and understand the moves, but I often went blank when the same position appeared in a game. Chessmate turns each opening into a series of positions where you have to find the next move. Important moves have short explanations, and positions you struggle with come back for review.
The part I’m still working on is the balance between explanation and practice. Too much text interrupts the session, but short explanations can leave out useful context.

Finger joint strains are the bane of long hours spent daily on the computer, which is what led Melvin Wong, founder and engineer at Airra Labs, to build a better computer mouse – the Rotary Mouse, which is currently on Kickstarter.
Apple's M7 Ultra chip coming in 2028 is designed to support up to 1.5TB of unified memory, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. However, whether such a configuration is offered may depend on the state of the ongoing memory chip shortage.
In 2019, Apple released an Intel-based Mac Pro with up to 1.5TB RAM. This article,
The first public betas of iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate, and more will be released this week, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. This aligns with Apple's promised July timeframe.
If you have an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, the key new feature is Siri AI, but there is a waitlist if you want to try it.
It takes years to tape out a chip and bring it to market, with overall industry seismic shifts taking much less time. Nothing will demonstrate that better than the rumored six-month gap between the M6 processor debut and the AI-focused M7.
With no M6 Pro or M6 Max on the horizon, don't expect much from the Mac Studio.
We've been telling you this for years — Apple Car research wasn't lit on fire, and the fruits of Apple's labor on it will be seen in artificial intelligence performance in the M7 and M8 processor.
16-inch MacBook Pro will be the first to get M7 Pro processors
Before AI used to be called Apple's biggest failure, that title went to the
One more RSS reader — why not? Honestly, I built it for the reason I keep seeing other people give: there wasn't a reader that fit me properly, so I made one that adapts to the reader instead of the other way round.
Two things shaped it. The first is that it's iCloud-native: your feeds, folders and read state sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac with no account to create and no server of mine in the middle. Nothing about what you read leaves your devices — no ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics. The second is that almost everything is adjustable: themes including Sepia, a customisable article list (thumbnail size, favicon, unread dot, 0–6 preview lines), and a reading view where you pick the font and the text size.
The iPad Pro with M6 is expected in early 2027 and Apple may release upgraded Apple Pencil models with easier-to-replace batteries in time for new EU regulations.
EU regulations will force Apple to rethink Apple Pencil design

Apple’s new Mac chip road map represents the company’s latest move to rebuild its operations for the artificial intelligence world. Also: The company is readying new Apple Pencil styluses and preparing to make the iPhone’s tap-to-pay feature more prevalent in its retail stores.

Hey r/apple , I built Devly, a menu bar app with 60+ developer tools. A few weeks ago Apple invited me to WWDC, (best day ever btw) I got to sit down with some of their engineers, and I just shipped v2.1 with changes directly from those conversations.
It lives in your menu bar and has everything you reach for constantly: JSON formatter, Base64, regex tester, JWT decoder, color converter, Unix timestamp, UUID generator, QR code, cron parser, and a lot more. Everything runs locally, no tracking, no subscription.
Some new things in v2.1:
Liquid Glass UI on macOS 26
Quick Switch (⌘P) to jump to any tool instantly
URL scheme for terminal piping (devly://base64?input=hello)
I spent the last few months building a big v3 update for Birthday Buddy. This update represents everything I learned when I decided about a year ago that I wanted to learn more about software development.

Through a lot of trial and error, plus some help from my trusty AI assistant Claude, my app came into existence. Now with version 3 I basically reimagined the entire app and I'm quite proud of it.
Birthday Buddy is designed to be your complete birthday assistant.

Motivation: I've been an avid user of apps like Been and Flighty for years, but always found them lacking and sometimes frustrating. Most require you to create accounts, enable location tracking, and stay online, all while not delivering the level of granular trip tracking and route visualization that I feel like should've been possible. Stamps keeps everything local and automatic, focusing on the timeline and map experience those apps skimp on.

For many users, Apple’s own accessories are the first and last peripherals they get for their desktop computer. That’s understandable: you can buy a Magic Keyboard and/or Magic Mouse at the same time as your new Mac, and if you’re going second-hand, then many sellers bundle them in with the Mac they’re moving on. What’s more, Apple is a name that a lot of people trust.
The problem is that these accessories are often average at best and downright poor choices at worst. Sure, many of them can do the job, but you’d get a much better experience by looking elsewhere.
