Apple may quietly downgrade the iPhone 18 Pro: the 1-2 TB versions are expected to receive slower memory, according to insiders.
The top models might switch to cheaper QLC chips from SK Hynix, while the 256-512 GB versions will retain faster TLC chips from Samsung.
The reason behind this change is cost-cutting. The price of 256 GB flash memory has risen from $13 to $51 this year. Additionally, the base Pro model may increase in price to $1,399.
This might explain why there's such a focus on optimization in iOS 27.

Moscow has been hit by a heavy downpour, with some areas even experiencing hail. Weather services are forecasting 10 days of continuous rain.
Just this weekend, half of the monthly rainfall norm could potentially fall. And it seems the rain won't stop at least until the next weekend.
On the bright side: it will at least be warm.

In Russia, they may start selling "diluted" gasoline, as the authorities have just signed a law to support oil refineries.
According to this law, it will be possible to take straight-run gasoline and add "other components" to produce high-octane fuel. This method will be legally recognized as production.
Now, manufacturers can take gasoline with an octane rating of up to 60, obtained from the primary processing of oil, and simply add additives to produce AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline.

A social network for complainers called PettyMillion has been discovered online. Russia is already in second place for the number of complaints about life.
On the site, you can anonymously submit grievances about slow people, the lack of gasoline, internet blockages, and other injustices in life. You can also read others' complaints—sometimes it can be quite entertaining.
We’re exploring and venting our frustrations here.

The rise in gasoline prices may slow down: the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) has initiated a case against six operators of private gas stations in Moscow and the surrounding region.
The agency noted that the stations simultaneously raised retail fuel prices. However, the law "On Protection of Competition" prohibits such collusion.
Inspections will be conducted in several regions regarding this issue. There is a chance that private operators will lower gasoline prices again.

Montenegro has expelled three Russians for bringing gaming PCs across the border. The gamers were transporting three computer towers and video recording equipment—one of them works as a cameraman.
Border officials demanded documentation for all the equipment. However, the men did not have the necessary papers, so the police revoked their right to stay in the country.
+1 reminder to check the rules of other countries.

This summer, T2 is not missing a single major festival. Recently, the brand supported the INTERVALS FESTIVAL in St. Petersburg and "Game. Digit. Art" in the Ural region, and now it has become the main partner of the "Voice of Nomads" music festival in Buryatia.
On July 10-11, musicians from all over the country will gather at the "Steppe Nomad." The lineup looks fantastic, featuring artists like "Kino," Dima Bilan, Mot, and many other great performers. According to the announcement, T2 will once again have a vibrant brand zone with various interactive experiences—it's exciting to see what they have come up with this time. I can't wait to experience it all live!
It seems like the perfect time to grab some tickets and head out with a tent for some new adventures.

Number of the Day: The horror film "Obsession" has made a staggering 537 times its budget. In just two months of release, the film has grossed $403 million, with a production budget of only $750,000.
It has surpassed "Behind the Scenes of Reality," which earned $350 million. These are the only two horror films in the global top 10 for box office earnings in 2026.
Interestingly, both films were directed by former YouTubers.

Studying languages "rejuvenates" the brain: the more languages a person knows, the higher their cognitive skills compared to peers.
Researchers examined MRI results from over 700 individuals. Those who spoke two languages had brains that appeared six years younger than their actual age, while those fluent in four languages looked 13 years younger. The effect is even more pronounced when language learning begins at an early age.
Duolingo has unexpectedly become a tool in the fight against aging.

It's interesting to see how brands are starting to "loosen up" on social media.
For example, Magnit Delivery recently started their Instagram account — they create memes and write lengthy descriptions for them. The overall vibe is fun and not overly corporate.
We hope that the girl who curates the memes and the head of marketing have a bright future in the world of memes ahead!

Microsoft has begun a "cleanup" of Xbox: in the coming year, approximately 3,200 employees will be laid off from the gaming division, which is about 20% of its workforce. Half of those layoffs will occur today.
Due to poor financial decisions, Microsoft will completely exit from the following Xbox studios:
- Compulsion Games (working on South of Midnight) and Tim Schafer's Double Fine will become independent studios.
- Undead Labs and Ninja Theory will seek new publishers. They promise to finish and release their projects, State of Decay 3 and Senua.
- The future of Arkane Lyon is uncertain, as Microsoft is urging the French government to help save the creators of Dishonored from closure.
Xbox leadership has acknowledged that they were losing 64 cents for every dollar invested and now feel compelled to deflate the bubble.
It appears that only Minecraft and the upcoming Xbox console, Project Helix, are safe from these cuts, as their departments will be minimally affected.

Anthropic has discovered the "brain" of Claude: new research has shown that a hidden layer of conscious thought has emerged within the models. Yes, it's almost like that of humans.
This reasoning space developed within the models during training—no one specifically designed it. Through this layer, the AI responds to tasks in a meaningful way.
If this layer is disabled, the model will continue to produce coherent sentences, but without logic. This is similar to how conscious and automatic processes function in humans.
Thanks to this layer, during security tests, Sonnet 4.5 learned to understand that it was being evaluated and played along with the developers. However, without supervision, it can relax.
