My sharpest coworker got passed over for a promotion last month. Instead, they handed the director title to an outside hire. Then leadership asked him to train the person who’d just become his boss. What he did next permanently changed how I think about corporate loyalty.

Some of my clearest moments of reflection have come while spending time in our national parks. Grateful to see Yosemite captured so beautifully by Glenn Lee Robinson in this #ShotOniPhone photo. #NationalParkWeek

FYI, we’re exactly 19 years away from an insane solar eclipse in the United States. August 12th, 2045 will feature an epic totality path lined with great viewing spots. Parts of the southeast will be under totality for six minutes!

Apple's latest TikTok includes an old iBook and iMac as parents to a MacBook Neo

Have you had a chance to ride Arie Force One? If so, how far did you travel? My wife and I live just outside of Charlotte, NC. So about 4.5 hours away.

ok how did i not notice this iOS 27 feature before… this is AMAZING

Selling your old #iPhone? Remember to clear this hidden iMessage setting or you could accidentally send photos to a stranger — as one ‘mortified’ Redditor discovered apple.news/AdMxx_DpzTuOqY…

I THOUGHT THE IPHONE 16 WAS BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP FOR AI? Apple not supporting everything on their less than 2 year old AI devices is insane.

Apple Intelligence features are available on iPhone 15 Pro and later, but the most powerful on-device model is limited to newer iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Developers are getting access to Siri AI today, but it is not going to be available in the EU initially.

The handcrafted magic behind Apple's MacBook Neo introduction

Artemis II Moon mission complete! ✅✅✅✅✅✅ - Space Launch System rocket launched crew into space - Orion spacecraft kept astronauts safe - Flew around the Moon, observed its far side - New human spaceflight distance record - Crew safely returned to Earth - Inspired the WORLD

To think that we aren't just going "to the Moon," but rather traveling to meet it at an exact point in space... changes everything. ​It all comes down to orbital mechanics: arriving at the precise location, at the precise moment. ​One tiny error... and it simply doesn't happen

Every email you’ve ever sent uses a symbol one engineer picked in 30 seconds. He wasn’t supposed to be building email. When he showed a colleague, the first words were: “Don’t tell anyone. This isn’t what we’re supposed to be working on.” In 1971, Ray Tomlinson was an engineer at a tech company in Cambridge, Massachusetts that had a government contract to build an early version of the internet. His actual job was writing code to move files between computers. Nobody asked him to build a messaging system. He picked it up as a side project because it “seemed like a neat idea.” So he needed to figure out addressing. If you’re sending a message from your computer to mine, the system needs to know two things: my name, and which computer I’m on. He needed one character to separate those two pieces. He looked down at his keyboard, an old mechanical terminal called a Teletype where @ sat above the letter P, and ran through his options. Exclamation point was already being used in programming, so that was out. Comma, same problem. Equal sign didn’t make sense. The @ was just sitting there, unused by almost anyone, and it already meant “at” in old pricing shorthand. He picked it and moved on. The first email went between two computers sitting next to each other in the same room. The message was probably just “QWERTYUIOP,” the top row of the keyboard. He later said the test messages were “entirely forgettable and I have, therefore, forgotten them.” I think it might be the most nonchalant origin story in computing. The guy invented the most used communication format on earth and didn’t even bother to write a real sentence. Two years later, email made up 75% of all traffic on that early internet. The Pentagon was furious. Defense Department auditors said they’d accidentally built a communication system, which wasn’t their job. They got officially reprimanded for it. The @ symbol is way older than computers. First known use was in 1536, by a merchant in Florence named Francesco Lapi, writing about wine shipments. He used @ as shorthand for a clay jar used to measure wine. From there it ended up on typewriter keyboards as a pricing notation (“10 apples @ $1 each”), and by 1971 it had been sitting on keyboards for decades while almost nobody touched it. Today, about 392 billion emails cross the internet every single day. Every one of them carries the @ that one engineer chose during an unauthorized side project 55 years ago, a project he was told to keep quiet about.

The “@” symbol in your email exists because of one engineer’s decision

This view just hits different 🌍 @Astro_Christina and @astro_reid take a moment to look back at Earth as they continue deep into space toward the Moon.

NASA pays $100M for Microsoft 365 licensing across the agency. They standardized every system on Microsoft. They put Microsoft Surfaces on the Orion spacecraft as the crew's personal computing devices. And the first technical crisis of humanity's return to the Moon was Reid Wiseman radioing Houston to say he has two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one works. Mission Control's response? "With your go, we can remote in and take a look." The same exact workflow your company's IT helpdesk uses when you submit a ticket on a Monday morning. Except the user is traveling at 4,275 mph, 30,000 miles from Earth, and the Wi-Fi situation is considerably worse. This spacecraft survived hydrogen leaks, helium leaks, a faulty heat shield, and a broken toilet. Outlook broke anyway. The toilet actually got fixed faster. The real story here is that Microsoft has achieved something no other software company in history can claim: a support ticket from lunar transit. Their enterprise sales team should frame this. "Battle-tested in space" is a positioning statement most B2B companies would mass murder for, and Microsoft accidentally earned it because Outlook crashes everywhere, including orbit. Outlook remains the only software in human history that performs identically whether you're in a cubicle in Redmond or aboard a spacecraft bound for the Moon. Universally, reliably broken. And we keep buying it anyway.

NASA's SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft are getting ready to roll back to Launch Pad 39B for the @NASAArtemis II mission. Teams are currently monitoring the wind speeds before rolling out of @NASAKennedy Vehicle Assembly Building. Follow along: youtube.com/live/ED2nbfb3N…
