7 Things This Week [#177]

A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays. Sometimes themed, often not.


1️⃣ Got a move streak mix up on your Apple Watch where the gadget thinks you missed a day, but you haven’t? There is a fix! (Related: my stand goal cheater shortcut.) [🔗 sixcolors.com]

2️⃣ New CGP Grey video! I know feel so much smarter about zip codes, and also sad that we don’t use Ireland’s system. [▶️ youtube.com]

3️⃣ Stephen Robles wrote about his journey as a creator, which culminated recently in being invited to WWDC. It’s quite touching. [🔗 beard.fm]

4️⃣ There are so many cool new things and improvements in visionOS 26! This newsletter/blog is the best aggregation of all things Vision Pro (though it’s a little disappointing that almost all the sources are from X). [🔗 lastweekinavp.substack.com]

5️⃣ TIL that there are things such as Nest Rafts to provide a place for loons to nest. [🔗 adirondackexplorer.org]

6️⃣ Rafa retrofit an Opal webcam’s guts into an old Apple iSight camera body and it looks awesome!! Ship it! [🦣 mastodon.design]

7️⃣ Matt Birchler did a little digging into ChatGPT’s alleged gender bias and came away with some optimism. [🔗 birchtree.me]
