🍏 iPhone Case Grows Real Plants Inside

Designer Daniel Idle created a case for the iPhone 16 Pro Max that contains live plants sealed inside a transparent resin back. Moss, small shoots, and stabilized soil form a closed moisture cycle within the case.

The system recycles moisture as it evaporates and condenses inside the resin cavity. Light passes through the clear case to feed the plants, while the substrate slowly releases nutrients.

The case is 3D modeled with precise cutouts for the camera and charging port, keeping the phone fully functional.

πŸ€– Anthropic agents port Bun to Rust in 10 days

A merge PR with 1 million lines of code for the Bun project was completed in just over a week by agents. Bun, owned by Anthropic since late last year, is a runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript originally written in Zig.

The creator Jarred Sumner started an experimental rewrite of Bun in Rust using Claude about 10 days ago. The new Rust code is already on track to merge into the main build, passing 99.8% of tests in canary.

πŸ“² Engineers Use USB Plugs to Keep Laptops Awake

Engineers often carry laptops slightly open to avoid interrupting agent work. This habit is so common that developers created USB plugs that simulate an external monitor connection.

These USB plugs let laptops stay on while closed by preventing sleep mode. This workaround keeps work uninterrupted without the laptop lid being open.

πŸ—£οΈ X users criticized an β€œAI Monet” that was actually painted by Monet

A blogger posted an image on X and said it was generated in the style of Claude Monet. He asked people to explain why it looked worse than the real thing.

Hundreds of users responded with detailed critiques. They called it soulless, complained about the composition, and pointed to supposed flaws in depth and color.

The catch: the image was an actual Monet painting from his Water Lilies series.

A chart shows AI use is still limited. Red marks users of agents, yellow those paying for chatbots, green those who tried free plans. The rest never used AI.

This suggests AI technology is in an early adoption phase. Even now, there is not enough compute power for inference.

🍏 Apple turns Siri into chat bot in iOS 27

In iOS 27, Siri becomes a standalone chat bot app with dialogue history, accessible via Siri or a swipe down from the center screen.

Chats auto-delete by default after 30 days, a year, or never, unlike competitors that require manual incognito modes. Apple also limits what Siri remembers and for how long.

Siri will function like ChatGPT or Claude, offering conversational AI with privacy controls built in.

Apple is also updating Genmoji, its AI emoji generator, to suggest emojis based on photos and common phrases, improving on last year’s clunky launch.
