My RayNeo Air 4 Pro review is live! $299, HDR10, Bang & Olufsen audio. After spending weeks with it, I think it's the best display you can put on your face under $300... but "best display" and "right for you" aren't always the same thing.

What's the use case that would actually get you to wear display glasses on the regular?

I got early access to the new Personal Intelligence update to AI Mode (aka Google Search) and ran it through 8 real-world prompts: Trip planning, recipe recall, fashion analysis, and even shopping predictions based on my search data. Some interesting outcomes here!

Full walkthrough is live. Let me know what you’d test first!

🕶️ My new review is live: XREAL 1S + Neo accessory

Biggest surprise: Anchor Mode pinning (3DoF tracking) makes these feel way more “real” than typical display glasses. Auto-tinting is also genuinely useful, and the on-device 2D→3D conversion is WILD when it hits.

I released my latest video on a different channel, and this is why. (and yes, that is me in the thumbnail!)

I have this idea that this channel is far more about mobile devices and consumer devices than it is about AI services. (Am I right?) So I decided to release my latest video about the Higgsfield Popcorn AI storyboarding tool over on my other channel, @aiinsideshow.

I want to build that channel to be my go-to for all things AI and keep this channel focused on consumer technology topics.

SO. If you like my AI-related content, go there and SUBSCRIBE. Don't miss the latest video too cause I think it turned out great!

I flew out to New York last week and spent some quality time with my pal, Project Moohan... er... Now the more direct Galaxy XR.

Check out my video covering my time at the event and my thoughts about what this new Android XR headset means for the future of smartglasses.

Hey everyone! I want to be sure you know about a video that you'll probably enjoy a lot.

I was in Dublin last week for a tour through Irish tech innovation, and while I was there I captured almost everything. The fine folks at ‪@dailytechnewsshow‬ edited together a full travelogue of my adventure! I think you'll dig it!
