Hand-picked News

Photo editing just got radically easier—and it’s about to change how we interact with AI forever.

  • Google Photos now lets you edit images by speaking or typing what you want

  • Powered by Gemini AI, it handles everything from lighting tweaks to background swaps

  • Even vague commands like ā€œmake it betterā€ trigger smart, automatic enhancements

Launched at the Made by Google event, this ā€œedit by askingā€ feature rolls out first on Pixel 10 devices in the U.S., with broader support coming soon.

āœ… This is a huge win for accessibility—no more fiddling with sliders or learning tools just to clean up a photo šŸ‘€ Bonus: Edits come with C2PA credentials so viewers know if AI was involved

Want to try it? Just say ā€œremove the carsā€ or ā€œadd sunglassesā€ā€”and watch the magic happen.

After years of frustration, Notion finally delivers what users begged for: full offline access that actually works.

  • You can now view, edit, and create notes offline on desktop and mobile

  • Premium users get auto-downloads of favorite pages for seamless access

  • A new ā€œOfflineā€ menu lets you control what gets saved locally

Notion’s cloud-first design made it nearly unusable without internet. This update fixes that, thanks to a new conflict-resolution system that handles edits made while disconnected.

āœ… This is a game-changer for deep work, travel, and anyone tired of Notion’s ā€œloadingā€¦ā€ screen

āš ļø Some blocks like embeds and forms still need internet, so it’s not 100% offline yet

Quick tip: If you're on a paid plan, check your settings to auto-save key pages before your next flight or focus session.

Big Tech’s energy appetite is exploding—and Meta’s latest move shows how fast AI is reshaping the power grid.

  • Meta is building a 100MW solar farm in South Carolina to fuel its $800M AI data center

  • Most of the solar gear will be made in the U.S., boosting domestic clean tech

  • This marks Meta’s 18th deal with Silicon Ranch, totaling $2.5B+ in renewable investments

The solar farm and data center are set to go live in 2027, part of Meta’s aggressive push to scale AI infrastructure while sticking to net-zero goals.

āœ… Solar isn’t just green—it’s fast and cheap, helping hyperscalers cut time-to-power, a major bottleneck for AI growth

šŸ‘€ Expect more deals like this as AI workloads demand massive, sustainable energy

Quick insight: Meta added over 2GW of solar capacity this year alone. That’s not a flex—it’s a survival strategy.

Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake

In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.

One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.

Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.

Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals.
